Sure, I redirect when there is to redirect, but sometimes during debugging you want to spam yourself to see what is happening during some stress testing when some code path is full of printfs. Also sometimes I'm just on the redis-cli and to test the system at scale I directly ask (like yesterday) for half million of similar vectors. It is very convenient I can type this on the CLI and see the result immediately, inst…

so, it's convenience. fair enough. i'm just trying to make sense of why it is so popular on hn. i often see stuff rated to mount everest here and i just don't get it. and then i'm wondering is it me? or is it them? am i one of those weak engineers who just don't know what's going on? that's all.

I tried to install and play around with it, it's really nice.

Took a bit of tinkering to set a theme and my favourite Pragmata Pro, but what ultimately annoys me is the lack of 'turnkey' selecting for text.

When I run `Cmd + A`, I want my terminal to make a full text selection of an entered command, not of the screen content. Or when I run `Option + Shift + Arrow left/right`, I want to select words from an entered command, not to type '4D;4C;4D;4C'.

I'm not a vimer or emacser, I want to have normal macos experience. For this reason alone I thought it's too early to switch and Warp is still great for me.

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…

I also use tmux, but I love the native tabs of Konsole in KDE. I have Shift-Arrow configured to move between them, it is far more comfortable than the dual shortcuts needed by tmux, Ctrl-B to call tmux's attention then l (if I remember correctly) to get to the last tab. Konsole also has easy resizing of text and supports images in the console, you might like it.

As a longtime KDE fan I've used Konsole for years and it is seriously underrated. However, after I discovered Kitty a few months ago, I fully converted and cannot be happier. You can also move between tabs using keyboard shortcuts as well as move the tabs themselves. What I like about Kitty more is its straightforward text file based approach for configuration and absence of any gui elements. Konsole's GUI and configuration menus are overwhelming and I think are in need of a deep redesign.

But `ghostty +list-themes` is damn impressive.

Am I the only person wondering why we need 100 terminal emulators when there are only 2 or 3 solutions to using command line tools more like a REPL? (to some degree warp, some bash support in hydrogen, advanced edit mode of powershell) I don't care for using "fancy" TUIs all i want is better tooling to interact with these that does not feel like 1970 and more like the chrome console.

About tab support, you mean pressing the tab key to, for example, autocomplete a command? That seems to work for me (macOS 15.2 here)

GP means creating a new tab with CMD+T, which works in the normal ghostty terminal. iTerm2 does support tabs in its hotkey windows (~= ghostty's quick terminal).

I couldn't find any screenshots, also, why is this being hyped so much? What have I missed?

Just try it. I tried and the launch was so smooth that I'm keeping it a few days to test it. My current biggest problem is that I launch my terminal using the spotlight shortcut (⌘-space on mac) and while iterm2 is found when I search for term, ghostty isn't.

It took a minute for me, but it did find it. Something is off with macOS indexing. Any app that you install via brew takes a bit to show up.

Also same issue. Seems it’s using a bleeding edge OpenGL ES that even nVidia drivers don’t support.

You have OpenGL 3.2 but need 3.3

Error is a little misleading. OpenGL is likely much higher than 3.3 since op is using nvidia gpu.

Problem is that this application uses OpenGL ES for which 3.3 was only recently even finalized as a standard and most GPUs like nvidia don’t support.
