Ghostty - Configure and Customize the Terminal

[@SavvyNik]

Which terminal emulator are you currently using?

[@GhostCoder83]

Kitty mostly

[@vaclav_mach]

Stock macOS terminal. I’ve tried ghostty, however the font rendering always looked somehow off, even after spacing tweaks etc. It also had problems with “dialog” based interfaces, where the elements sometimes broke and overflowed. But I might try it again in the future…

konsole

[@ContemplativeCat]

I've played with others but Konsole is doing just fine for me.

[@SvalbardSleeperDistrict]

Been using Ghostty since release, switched from Kitty.

[@alexstone691]

Im exited for libghostty to be honest, a easy to use embeddable terminal is a godsend

[@SavvyNik]

Yeah can’t wait to see all the applications

[@Cyco_Nix]

Same, I don't actually like how they implemented this as a terminal emulator, but there is a lot of good stuff in libghostty itself.

[@darthkielbasa]

I've been rocking konsole on linux and iterm on mac. I kinda like ghostty. And who doesn't like new and different? Gonna be on the hunt for prompt mods. Thanks for the video!

[@darthkielbasa]

New guy mistake. Edit bashrc to change prompt. Ask Grok!

[@middle_pickup]

Hot take, but I think this thing is only getting the attention it is because it looks good on video.

[@jgsw563]

Exactly my thoughts. I can't see how is this terminal different than others!

[@soheil7019]

I really liked the video.

[@adrianjdelgado]

If you compile main from source, there's a configuration option for server side decorations

[@peterjansen4826]

I changed to another terminal earlier this week: Alacritty => st (pre-patched and I arranged the theming myself with a xresources theming and changed opacity). I hadn't really heard yet of Ghostty, other than that I caught that it got a bit of a hype recently. Now I am a bit curious why people are talking about this one. I like st but I might try out Ghostty too, depending on how much latency there is with typing (problem for Kitty) and how easy it is to theme it.

[@SaMusz73]

6:25 actually quotes aren't necessary for ghostty config file

[@detaart]

What is it with these gucci terminal emulators? lol I remember using actual vt220s and wyzeterms. No theming. One color, hope you like it.

[@soymadip]

In my experience, wezterm is better than this.
