Ghostty on both macOS and Linux now support marking a terminal as read-only. In this mode, you can still search, scroll, and select text, but no input is sent to the running program. If you have something scary you really don't want to mess up, this is perfect! You can toggle this with the command palette, a keybinding (bind "toggle_readonly"), the context menu, or the main menu.

Ghostty nightly now supports the `click_events` extension introduced by Kitty and supported by Fish. If you're using Fish 4.1+, you can click (no modifiers!) anywhere at a prompt to move the mouse. I believe Ghostty is the first to support this extension outside of Kitty. As far as as I can find, the only shell to support this is Fish (4.1+) and the only terminal to support this previously is Kitty. It'd be great for more of both ecosystems to support this. Other terminals do support moving the cursor with the mouse to some extent (Ghostty included since 1.0), but do so by another, more fragile mechanism: when you click, it just best-effort calculates a number of synthetic left arrow key inputs to pretend to move your cursor. This is super fragile because it can't take into account shell behaviors particularly around indention, multi-line, and if you're not at a prompt at all... The `click_events` extension allows Ghostty to know when you're at a prompt line, and works by encoding a mouse click event while at a prompt line to the shell. The shell then takes over and handles all the logic of moving the cursor, which makes the most sense! PR:

I built Silk to feel right on both mobile and desktop. You can swipe sheets with your trackpad, just like switching workspaces or going back in the browser. If you’ve got a mouse, the scroll wheel works too. Or just click the backdrop or close button. No mouse? Hit escape.

iPhone Mirroring is not available in the EU because of regulatory non sense surrounding the Digital Markets Act. So I built my own. Runs and ~26FPS over wifi with mouse and keyboard support.

day 4 of building an OpenCode clone from scratch i have a newfound appreciation for how good this tool is, and how much attention to detail was put into making it. here is what i managed to clone, and problems i've encountered: 1. scrollable autocomplete. mouse click to select, mousewheel to scroll, arrow keys that auto-scroll when you hit the edge, enter to confirm, sounds simple, but remember that this is a CLI tool, not a web app, all of this has to be implemented from the ground up 2. toast notifications in the terminal, success/error/info variants, auto-dismiss, easily triggerable through context 3. modal dialogs with backdrop overlay, click-outside-to-close, escape to dismiss, focus trapping so the content behind stops capturing input, again, seems simple, but the concept of a "dialog" does not exist in the terminal, so implementing it is way harder 4. built a responder chain for keyboard input, only the topmost layer owns the keyboard. ctrl+c walks down: dialog > command menu > clear input > exit. had to invent this because there's no built-in focus management in a terminal 5. generic command actions. each command gets a context with toast, dialog, and navigate (easily extendable for further features) 6. react-router with a memory router in a terminal app. navigate between screens with the same patterns as web 7. (mock) session view with user/bot message components. thinking indicator, model info footer, mode-colored borders when you use opencode, you don't think about these things, but there is a million little details they thought of. absolutely insane and cracked team Anomaly

I’m porting #HalfLife to the #Nokia N95. I always knew the hardware could handle it and hoped someone would do it… turns out that someone was me. My goal: a full port with no cut content, Bluetooth mouse + keyboard support, Wi-Fi multiplayer, and mod support #valve #steam

Rewind to 1990 and the introduction of the Trackball - the first redesign of the original Bloomberg keyboard. ⏪👋 It was a modern marvel in its day. Equipped with built-in voice-chat features and a compact design, the keyboard enabled easy and quick Terminal functionality.

this guy built an app that lets him control multiple claude code instances WITH JUST HIS EYES AND VOICE he looks at the terminal he wants and speaks his command. that's it no keyboard. no mouse. just gaze tracking + voice on a macbook pro absolutely unreal. I guess the future of coding is not typing

been working on Harness, a macOS terminal. built it all from the metal up. no libghostty, no tmux, no cmux - all one custom build. It’s a terminal built for speed and agentic workflows.

First of its kind? New feature in Ghostty: a web-inspector-style "terminal inspector" targeted at CLI, TUI developers. Built right into the terminal, you can see a live view of terminal state, keyboard events, escape sequences, and much much more. 👻💖 Video tour below. Similar to Firebug with Firefox, I'm hoping this helps usher in a new era of develop-ability for terminal applications by making it much much easier to understand what is going on. When the inspector is not in use, there is no perceivable performance impact (benchmarks show the same). When the inspector is in use, the terminal it is inspecting slows down to about half speed due to the overhead. But this only impacts the terminal being inspected. This is a really early version of the inspector. The data organization is kind of messy, its mostly read-only information right now, and there is a lot more information I want to surface. The next step is making a lot of this data read-write so you can actually modify the terminal live (similar to modifying HTML/CSS live in a web inspector) to trial-and-error some changes. This is just the beginning. 😎 Follow along Ghostty development here:
