Ghostty on macOS now also has native GUI for... showing progress bars reported by OSC 9;4. This is, as far as I know, the first macOS terminal to support this (will be part of Ghostty 1.2, coming soon. Available now in tip releases). Esc sequence and script in quoted post.show more

Ghostty now has scrollbars for macOS drawn using native... macOS GUI widgets of course! Available now in tip releases. GTK will follow very shortly. 50% of Ghostty memes now dead.show more

Ghostty on Linux now has native GUI for showing... progress bars (as reported by ConEmu's OSC 9;4 code). The style can be customized through GTK CSS (e.g. colors, size, and more). The terminal escape code: Ignore my missing "new tab" icon lol.show more

Ghostty on macOS now copies multiple formats into the... clipboard. If you paste into rich text apps now, it'll preserve formatting! If you paste plain text, that'll work too. I think Ghostty may be the only macOS terminal other than the built-in to do this. Coming soon to GTK.show more

Command palette coming to Ghostty, implemented with native UI... of course. macOS initially but GTK will follow and be part of the same tagged release, since there's already a mostly complete open PR. Almost all keybinding actions available, will be able to customize entries too.show more

Even with close confirmation I sometimes close my terminal... and think "OH FUCK NO." Coming soon to Ghostty, you can undo that. 🥰 (Technical details: we keep the terminal running for a configurable time in the background before terminating for real, similar to email undo send). (macOS only for now, AppKit APIs provide a nice undo manager implementation that eases this quite a bit. I still have to do research on GTK for Linux.)show more

Thanks to an amazing contributor, Ghostty now supports a... beautiful titlebar with tabs in the titlebar. These are still fully native tabs, we surgically modify macOS's view hierarchy to make them look like this, so they retain all the macOS native behaviors you'd expect.show more

Ghostty Devlog 006, speed edition 🚀. An intro to... SIMD, clever unicode lookup algorithms, and CSI parsing fast-paths all in order to make Ghostty wicked fast. The video below compares the plain-text throughput of Ghostty to another popular macOS terminal. Note that this video only showcases one particular type of speed. There are many other ways to measure the speed of a terminal and I note that in the devlog. The video is a very real world scenario though (i.e. tailing loud log output). 👻show more

Getting closer now. Navigable search results are now in.... The last hard problem is done. I'm now starting the macOS GUI for all of this (GTK will follow).show more

This bugs me more than it should. This is... Ghostty, but it happens to other software. Characters on the corners are cropped by the border radius of the window. I like macOS in general, but wish Apple would roll back the rounded corners a tad.show more

i'm writing my own gui framework in c++ and... rewriting my image editor using it, which is going good so far, i wanted to move from swiftui, qt, tauri, electron, react native, and flutter so i can use metal and directx gpu apis on macos and windows as much as possible,so i think going full metal/directx is the way to go i know i have a very hard and long way to go though as there are many many flaws,bugs in this very very early version and doesnt utilize the gpu as much as i want to but i hope we will get there soon ,i also need to make the ui look somewhat decent instead of whatever mess it is right nowshow more

Thanks to a contributor, Ghostty now has a TUI... for seeing all built-in themes plus a live preview of what they look like. Ghostty has over 300 built-in themes!show more

Introducing the Ghostty "Quick Terminal" feature: a terminal that... drops-down based on a global keybind (also sometimes known as a Doom or Quake-style terminal). This was one of Ghostty's most requested features.show more

This might be my new vibe coding terminal setup:... > claude / codex on the side > file explorer in middle > git and diff view on the right Tools used: > ghostty > yazi > lazygit Thanks Daniel San for the lazygit pro tip!show more

really like the progress bar escape sequences. Hope tools... pick up this feature soon. Easy to test with try & ai: try ghostty-progress && claude "implement a ruby script demo for the progress bar features mentioned at <release-notes-url>"show more

Ghostty now has a keybinding system powerful enough to... enable a "vim mode." This is built by composing multiple Ghostty features together, meaning you can create any modes you want (emacs, tmux, whatever). We'll keep adding more bindings to make these even more powerful! The config:show more

Daily work routine is dead simple. I open Ghostty... and invoke "Klaude" It will automatically "brew upgrade claude-code" and launch 4 claudes in Tmux as well as a preview panel. And I will work there until the end of the day. Every day.show more

Jump to any open terminal by title, working directory,... or tab color. A little highlight animation shows the terminal you jumped to so you can find it more easily. Available very soon in nightly macOS builds.show more

🚨 NOW Reports coming in of forensic teams, ambulances... and police in Bowthorpe. There is only speculation as to what this could be. I will not make any public speculation until we know more information.show more
