Hey, this looks seriously awesome. Love the ideas here, specifically: the programmability (I haven't tried it yet, but had been considering learning tmux partly for this), layered UI, browser w/ api. Looking forward to giving this a spin. Also want to add that I really appreciate Mitchell Hashimoto creating libghostty; it feels like an exciting time to be a terminal user. Some feedback (since you were asking for it e…

Thanks for the feedback! Mitchell Hashimoto is awesome. Have a PR for fixing devtools here: https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux/pull/117 > hotkey overrides - I have some things explicitly unmapped / remapped in my ghostty config that conflict with some cmux keybindings and weren't respected We need to be better about this; right now you can modify keyboard shorcuts with cmd+, in the GUI. Planning on making it a confi…

IMO (re zoom behavior): if you make a new tab, it should add a new tab as normal and stay zoomed in. the tab bar (of the currently zoomed in panel) would still be at the top while zoomed in, and workspaces still appear to the side

if you make a new split (or navigate splits), it would zoom you back out (contract the panel) and just split/navigate the way it normally would

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Get the best of both worlds by having it be Ctrl when held down + pressed with another key and Esc when you press and release it by itself.

Well, there's a fantastic idea. Apparently so many people are already in this better world: https://gist.github.com/tanyuan/55bca522bf50363ae4573d4bdcf0... I have Karabiner Elements so I added it and it's amazing!

I tried this, but found it annoying that it will add a slight delay. Totally makes sense if you've been running on caps lock -> escape for a long time. I've bound caps lock -> ctrl and left ctrl -> escape.

Nice. I should add notifications to https://github.com/rcarmo/webterm - I already have sparklines as a CPU usage indicator and live thumbnails, but a visual highlight should be easy to add.

Cool project! How are you liking ghostty-web so far?

I use it every day multiple hours a day and I forget it’s a web terminal until I hit Ctrl+W on Firefox :)

Good idea, but I don't want to move to another terminal now, will stick with Ghossty

Fair enough! I like Ghostty a lot too, and the only reason I built this was because I wanted vertical tabs and nicer notifications.

since you built it, you might know if there's some addons/plugins for ghostty that make working across many LLM sessions more delightful?

Vertical tabs for a terminal emulator seems killer, I'll be trying this out for sure.

Yes it's cool. I wonder if other terminal emulator apps like WezTerm, iTerm etc also has this feature?

iTerm2 has vertical tabs too
