I have found the following community site for generating Ghostty config quite helpful https://ghostty.zerebos.com/

Hey this is my tool, thanks for sharing! I've been very happy with how well received it has been so far!

Maybe I'm assuming too much, but I feel like the target audience here (terminal emulator 'enthusiasts') either know about this already or are totally willing to go over to the manual to read what it is. The very first section upon opening the documentation explains it succin…

I wouldn't word it that strongly, however I would've like to see the first line of the documention on the homepage :)

I'll give it a spin later, looks interesting.

The default macOS terminal app has CMD UP/DOWN to move to previous prompts. This is one of my pet peeves about terminal apps, they seem to lack this command?

In case anyone is wondering, this terminal appears to work just great on windows by using WSLg. I installed on linux inside WSL, then launched it, and it looks/works great. Clipboard also works.

Did you have to build it? On which OS?

I used Arch. It was already in the AUR, but I believe it did build from source

The description is in the documentation. What’s the trouble by clicking on it? It won’t take a second.

I don't know whether it's going to take a second or half a minute. I also don't know whether there will be an answer on the first page, or there's going to be a cute image and then I'll need to find "Getting Started" to learn how to get started with unknown project. My subjective experience on the internet is that if the gate isn't labelled, there's unlikely value on the other side.

People who are interested in this are talking about it because they're interested in it. Nobody is trying to convert you.
