We ain't afraid of no Ghostty! (Interview)

or 150 or something but you know it hasn't stopped a considerable amount of people from using it so that's what changed my view on let's just slip this post 1.0 it's an important thing to add but i think there's a huge number of people that'll still get value without it so it is something like you'll see in the 1.0 release blog post so i'm going to call it out directly because i don't want people to think i'm like trying to trying to make some some message about not supporting search we'll support it eventually but yeah

So yeah. So any Tmux user wouldn't, wouldn't notice because search doesn't work in any terminal with Tmux. Right. Yeah.

Waiting, waiting, waiting. There was a question, actually, on X that I saw that I was like, no one's actually ever asked, and I never thought about before they asked it.

Yeah. And I think it's a good question because it's not, we have talked about how NeoVim is good in Ghosty, but I think more generally, the question to me was like, what makes a terminal interesting that, you know, that you wouldn't really notice, I guess, until you actually used it. And I think that that's something that people don't realize a lot.

Because I think the biggest one is there's so many terminal.app users, like serious, very online developers that are using terminal.app. And it's funny to me because it's such a bad terminal. And just to be very concrete about that, it only supports, I think, 256 colors. There's so many people out there that don't realize that terminals for over a decade have supported 32-bit color.

And you don't realize it because all terminal programs, almost all terminal programs do such a good job of gracefully degrading and just realizing what environment they're in and working. And so if you only ever ran something like NeoVim in Terminal app, it obviously works great there. You would only ever see 256 colors.

And then you run something in Ghostly and suddenly you're like, wait, why does syntax highlighting look better or something like that? It's because, you know, you're using full like RGB with some transparency and things like start popping in. And so...

Yeah, I mean, I think that one of the things that that stands out immediately is because Ghostly supports modern like input protocols, for example, you could bind every key. And I think there's a ton of people I've talked to that don't realize you can't bind in every key, not because they haven't tried it, but because they tried it, it didn't work and decided, that's just how it is.

I'm never gonna do that again. But realizing it's just because most terminals are built on like a 50 year old input stack. But if you look at
