> I have a fairly up to date Zig installed via Homebrew. This is likely the problem. Latest Zig is 0.16 and Ghostty (and therefor Ghostel) require exactly Zig 15.2. I just updated …

> defined f1 to toggle between semi-char vs copy modes this is useful anyway but just in case you didn't know, we automatically switch to copy-mode when it makes sense. E.g. when y…

True. I'll have to update the documentation with some examples (and/or make a video?). I know you know them but I list the 5 modes quick here for readers: - semi-char: The default,…

This is just optional. I explained why it's not in the package in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48881722 For all Emacs package updates, it's best of course to check the sour…

You have the full power of Emacs to your disposal. I have never used WezTerm but from a quick look, it seems you can quickly copy text ace-jump style. In Emacs you could use e.g. a…

Just want to add that we have the same feature in Ghostel. As it copies stuff to a remote host, automatic ssh injection is disabled by default but you can enable it by setting `gho…

Noted. I didn't even think of the use-case that then you can edit output from finished commands in the scrollback. But it makes sense and is another +1 for that feature request.

And not only mouse click of course, but you can use `ghostel-previous-hyperlink` (or ghostel-next-hyperlink) to quickly jump to the last hyperlink displayed. It also installs a rep…

Ah. I tested it before but now I see that I have `(setq eshell-scroll-to-bottom-on-input 'all)` in my config which always snapped point back to the prompt when I tried to edit the …

Did you see ghostel line-mode? This basically gives you a `M-x shell` experience where everything is a buffer and nothing is send to the terminal until you press enter. There you c…

I agree. And I would also prefer if the link went to https://github.com/dakra/ghostel instead of the documentation which is not that helpful if you don't know what the project is.

That's because MELPA (and ELPA) doesn't have a way to attach platform specific files. It's all just git checkouts. That means we would have to check in the module binary for all pl…

Hi! Maintainer of Ghostel here. baokaola and I actually wanted to do a "Show HN" next week, but looks like someone was faster submitting the link. Have a look at the GitHub repo wh…

> I thought it was named Ghostel because of Ghostty and EL (emacs lisp). It was. But I like the Postels law relation as well :)

Just to expand a bit on "bunch of other things". You can see a vterm vs eat feature comparison here: https://dakra.github.io/ghostel/#ghostel-vs-vterm Besides the performance and w…

There is a popular subreddit for it: https://www.reddit.com/r/itrunsdoom/

I found this a good overview of the history/current status of Java logger libraries https://lambdaisland.com/blog/2020-06-12-logging-in-clojure-...

Michael Stapelberg has a few interesting blog posts about keyboard input latency. His latest is at https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2021-05-08-keyboard-inpu...

I really liked Bill Gates new Book: How to Avoid a Climate Disaster[1]. I liked that it shows what we have to do to get to 0 greenhouse gas emissions. What's the current state of t…

I use a similar tool in Emacs called piper https://gitlab.com/howardabrams/emacs-piper And here's the EmacsConf video for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKJMDJ4i…

If you live in Emacs and interacting with it every day there is always something to tweak and it just grows organically. I don't think a big config file is an outlier. Not because …

I recommend "Git from the bottom up"[1] for a nice and relatively simple tutorial that shows you the inner design of a git repository. [1] https://jwiegley.github.io/git-from-the-b…
