Finally someone makes a video about this mythical terminal emulator.
Loved the video, but laughed so much at 9:41: "The ligatures are fantastic" -> proceeds to show the "==>" ligature vertically displaced
The feature I'd love in a terminal would be app-aware ligatures. Say, I want ligatures on when I'm in Neovim, but off when I'm looking at cargo's progress bar.
From the version output it appears to be written in Zig which is super sweet! Rust is great but it’s cool to see a deviation from the common trend.
Invite system -> No, thank you
Please do a video on Wezterm as well. configuring wezterm is such a satisfying experience (it uses lua under the hood). Some killer unique features of Wezterm: 1. configs get reloaded automatically 2. you can assign variables inside your config file (since its basically a lua script) 3. the config auto reloads on system appearance changes so you can programmatically change appearance - I use it for different themes light mode dark mode
I love how reloading config with a hotkey is considered such a great deal. Coming from wezterm where everything automatically relaods on save! Wezterm FTW!
The fact we're talking about things like tabs and support for a hyped purple colorscheme before ever thinking about the license.
We definitely need gpu-accelerated terminal emulator with shaders... When we will see terminal with ray tracing and FSR/XeSS? I think that this is by far most wanted feature for terminal emulator
Am I the only one who is just happy with Gnome terminal?
This would be my ideal terminal emulator, if I could get my hands on it... Combines the best things of kitty, wezterm, iTerm2, and any GTK terminal. And it runs on Linux and macOS (I use both) and integrates with them perfectly!
Ghostty looks perfect for me, but I actually have to talk to someone to get the beta? 😨
Nice vid! Thanks for sharing all the goodies of ghostty
Okay i dont get the hype. It can rendern images and change themes without restarting the session and what exactly is the New stuff?
I have to say this: your intro is the best!
this comment is just for me to practice english. ---- so the premise here is...(2:23) we're gonna poke around a little bit.(2:33) so stick around to check that out.(2:41) the ease of configing it's color scheme.(5:25) I've reloaded my config.(7:33) is ligatures.(8:39) this is a really strong suit of ghostty.(9:43) straight in ghostty.(11:34) it handles the default stuff that you expect.(12:51) the promise of this terminal emulator is massive.(15:00)
honestly this seems to me just more of the same... (I'm not talking about ur content, ur content is great, love it)
the amount of new people who have joined the discord since lastnight is so funny lol, words def getting put out!
My test on Ghostty's performance was to play Bad Apple in it.
