Seriously. I've been using Macs since... ahem... 1985... and did not know this.

Is there a blog post anywhere that explains why it has taken so long to get search working? Ghostty is such a nice app but that's such a fundamental feature that there has to be a good reason... It's the only thing keeping me on iTerm2.
Try Cmd-Shift-J. It dumps your buffer to a temp file, with the file path made ready for you. I do that and then open the temp file with vi.

To add... The missing scrollbars feel painful to me. I don't even want them for scrolling, really. I want the visual reference for: "How much content is in this window" and "Where am I in that content" I still use it daily but it means I have to switch tools for certain things, and reading log files or log output is one of the more common reasons I switch.

Just by reading the docs and looking at everything they built (and how they built it) made me wonder if they spend more than they make. That's a really funny feeling I never had before. Like, surely economies can't be that forgiving when it comes to polishing things. Is that wh…

#168I love how this guy founds + takes public + sells a multibillion company and then just goes right back to hacking. Legend.
I just want to say, what a dream. To have wealth and be able to create projects for the sake of going the projects. To not have to make the concessions of quality for profits. There's an old Knuth quote: > In fact what I would like to see is thousands of computer scientists let loose to do whatever they want. That's what really advances the field. And I think we're seeing more and more that these projects made with l…
One thing I've been envisioning is something like a "certified B corporation" style qualification that companies can get that indicates they contribute financially back to open source commensurate to the amount of it they consume to run their core business. If everything you do runs through open source software, in a moral sense, one can make the argument that you owe something back to it.

I love ghostty. The only thing that is missing is a find feature which is such an odd omissions for an incredible piece of software.
They'll be working on it soon: https://x.com/mitchellh/status/1964826929326153898
