Ghostty has a hard-to-find "quake mode" that may interest some. During the beta I had it configured like this on macOS: keybind = global:cmd+space=toggle_quick_terminal quick-terminal-animation-duration = 0.1 There isn't an option to set the default height of the "quick terminal" window that I'm aware of but you can drag the bottom of the window after it opens and it will persist between toggles.

This is the first thing I went looking for when looking at the docs, thank you.

what does quake mode do?

Does it support Ctrl+Scroll to zoom? Somehow I got used to this years ago and unfortunately not a lot of software supports it. Have been using Wezterm until now, which does.

I'm very excited to have this because it's the first bit of high quality open source software to hit the streets in a while. I like where we're headed with tools like this and Ladybird[0] for hope of a subscriptionless future. Thank you, Mitchell! [0] https://ladybird.org/

That's a weird statement. I've been running a free, open-source and subscription-less browser (firefox) and terminal emulator (many) for close to 20 years.

Actually I like what ladybird is doing in the browser space, given firefox is quite dependent on google cash. But this is just yet another terminal emulator in a sea of them. The only two distinguishing features I can see are hype and native UI (which mac users care about for some reason -- my native UI is a borderless rectangle in tiling WM).

I’ve been very disappointed with Alacritty (no support for split term in favor of tmux) and WezTerm (insane config format, config has no business using a full fledged programming language) feature wise, so I have high hopes regarding Ghostty, can’t wait to try it!

native UI is so much more than how a border of a window looks like.
