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?
Not even cmd up/down, just hit up/down key, no cmd needed

Re: Ghostty 1.0
#332Ghostty got a lot of hype (I cover this in my reflection below), but I want to make sure I call out that there is a good group of EXCELLENT terminals out there, and I'm not claiming Ghostty is strictly better than any of them. Ghostty has different design goals and tradeoffs and if it's right for you great, but if not, you have so many good choices. Shout out to Kitty, WezTerm, Foot in particular. iTerm2 gets some ha…
No mention of Cool Retro Term!?!? Typical elitist behavior... /s I'm just having a bit of fun, but it is a fun terminal every once in a while. https://github.com/Swordfish90/cool-retro-term
I use that one as my daily driver. Works great.

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.
> I don't know whether it's going to take a second or half a minute.
You know how you could find out how long it's going to take? By clicking the button. It's free. It's easy. Hell, it would've taken you less time to click that single button and read the first sentence than it would have taken you to post this comment.
You didn't even bother to spend half a second actually opening the documentation page and then you come here complaining about how you don't know whats in the documentation. This is entirely a problem of your own creation. What gives?

Wezterm does have tabs, and their related keyboard shortcuts are configurable. See https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/lua/keyassignment/Spaw... for a starting point in the config.
WezTerm has emulated tabs, not OS-native tabs. Some people will find that to be enough to suit their needs. Others will want 'real tabs'. For example, I can select a tab in Ghostty, pull it out into its own window, and then stick it into another window. This doesn't work in WezTerm, nor can you drag them around to rearrange them (keyboard shortcuts allow this however).
So is Ghostty a faster version of iTerm2 and it is Linux compatible?

This isn't a company, I'm not trying to convince you to use it, this is more of a personal art project. If that doesn't vibe with you that's completely fine. You're happy to not use it. I'm happy whether you use it or not. It's all good mate. (The first sentence in the docs page does explain what it is but if that's too much for you, it's all good.)
I had the same problem. I digged through it only cos it was #1 in HN so I knew something's up. If I had come across this any other way, I wouldn't bother looking past the home page. I don't think you have to be selling the project (financially or otherwise). But you will lose a lot of potential users cos you didn't add the description you have in docs right there in the home page.
> Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration.
Now after reading it, the name makes so much sense as well. GhosTTY. My first thought was alternative to ghost.org or something.

I've been a beta tester from very early on. I came for the performance but stayed for the stability. I've only had a rare few crashes and all but one was a duplicate in the bug tracker. I thought I needed search but as Mitchell put it, not a 1.0 feature. Ripgrep was always the answer. Very happy to share the ghostty experience with the world!
Search was the first thing I noticed it was lacking. I hope it can be added at some point, sometimes you can't just run a command again to grep it.
Guessing y’all mean search of the scrollback buffers?

Looks really awesome. I'm going to sound like I don't belong in the hipster terminal club, but the reason I shied away from some of the other terminals is the lack of tabs, which looks like yours has when I did a quick Google question/search. (if wezterm and the like have them, I must have missed it or it wasn't obviously apparent in the settings how to achieve them). I know everyone will say but tmux and/or native m…

Built-in terminal doesn’t support truecolor. Many CLI programs rely on that to look good.
What CLI programs? I have yet to run into any issues after using the built in terminal for its entire lifespan.
As an example, here is the Helix editor (neovim looks just as bad) in Terminal.app vs. ghostty (would look just as good in any other modern terminal).

Re: Ghostty 1.0
#340I have been waiting to try this out for sometime now. I recently tried various terminal emulator tools and I settled on wave terminal. This is a list of these tools for reference. I would list tools that are on both MacOS and Linux which is comparable to this new emulator. But also because I did not try any on windows. - Alacritty ( https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty ) - waveterminal ( https://github.com/wavetermdev/…
