I use ghostty daily now. Switched recently. In macOS I can re-map now caps lock to be cmd and it works for cmd+c. Everything else is great, sensible defaults and what's not easily customizable. Gruvbox light theme looks great too. The fact it's written in Zig is awesome too, if you ever question if Zig is ready, ghostty is your answer to that. Not seeing myself going back.

i desperately want to use ghostty but cmd+f support is just such a dealbreaker. excited about this development though!
Is there any particular reason?
How does this compare to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/ ?
For that matter: how does it compare to libvterm ( https://www.leonerd.org.uk/code/libvterm/ )?
Example: Neovim is considering the switch to libghostty-vt when its ready. https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/33155

Curiously, it hasn't been discussed on HN before, so I started a thread to get HNers' thoughts on it:
License: This is a perfect example of a project I think should be LGPL licensed and not MIT. Why? Let's suppose he's successful and libghostty become ubiquitous. What happens then? At some point you will be using a closed source version of it on Windows or MacOS or whatever - how do you know it's not logging in the background? The potential for this exists today in every commercial terminal emulator, but why make it…
The nix package for ghostty is broken/unavailable on MacOS at the moment, but installing the brew cask (`brew install --cask ghostty`) and a basic config file:
```
font-family = Monaco
theme = dark:Catppuccin Frappe,light:Catppuccin Latte
```
Got me almost everything I used from iTerm2. Nerdfont just worked (in iTerm I think you have to use the `Use a different font for non-ASCII text` setting)

ClickHouse is written in C++ (un)fortunately. Although I do think that Zig would fit it quite well too
