kitty or go see um i think west term also supports it alacrity does not but um if you look at if you look at like those three for example then you can now bind things like backspace and escape could be separate before like when if you bound escape and you press backspace it would trigger escape now they could actually be distinguished and things like that and i think that that enables a lot more functionality and things like that so

I guess my view is there's a lot of people out there I've talked to where it's just like, I'm happy in Terminal.app and I'm happy they're happy, but it's one of those things where I described it like a retina screen that Apple shipped. You don't realize how good it is until you use it. And I'm not even pitching Ghosty here. I'm pitching any modern terminal.

Just give it a shot because I don't think most people know what they're missing out on.

I think tmux requires extra config in order to take advantage of some of these modern things, which is... unfortunate because they are detectable, but yeah, that might be part of the reason too.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was definitely, I won't lie, part of implementing that feature was like the, I'll just say like marketing factor of it, just like the cool factor for sure. But, you know, really also was how many people came and said like, they must have that to use this terminal because... I term supports it. And I think I term is the only terminal that supports it.

Yes, you can. And yeah, there's, there's actually a couple of beta testers. blows my mind that they are full-time professional software engineers and they exclusively use that as their terminal. They don't use, they have no floating windows. I'd love to watch them work. I did too, yeah. So they're coming from iTerm and they're like, I only have one terminal

and in ghosty language it's called the quick terminal it's like I only use the quick terminal so they're finding some really interesting bugs because it was like they're sort of getting fixed now but they're using it so heavily but I never imagined people would use it without another floating window which complicates like if you have three screens which screen does it float down from and things like that they're finding some good stuff and that's all going to get fixed before 1.0 but it's very interesting how diverse the user base is out there

How do I do it? Okay, well, one, if you don't want to bind a key, it's in the menu. So if you just want to see what it looked like, it's in the menu. Oh, really?

Yeah, I've done that. It's in view, I think. Yeah, view quick terminal.

Yeah, I've done that. It's in view, I think. Yeah, view quick terminal.
