@tinfoil-hat So there we have it officially from @mitchellh: Currently it's not possible to programmatically open a new split view in #Ghostty. 🤷♂️ https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/8431
Okay, now plan B: open the video in the same split view, "on top“ of the running #newsboat. That should be possible with a bind command in newsboat's config file …
@metawops@mastodon.social
Okay. I got #YouTube #RSS feeds in my #newsboat urls file, works. Now I want to start playback of a video from within newsboat by pressing m and #mpv should play it in a split view to the side of the split view where newsboat is running. I’m using #Ghostty as my terminal app. – Any hints? This (screenshot) doesn’t work. @tinfoil-hat

The Ghostty terminal has undergone a GTK rewrite, embracing the GObject type system. The result: new features for Linux, better memory management, and improved stability. Version 1.2 with the changes drops in a few weeks, so keep your lights on! 👻

#keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) was basically one of the biggest missing pieces for me last time I tried Linux. With it, I can map all my keys and replace application shortcuts with better defaults. Like this:
[google-chrome]
meta.[ = C-S-tab
meta.] = macro(C-tab)
[firefox-esr]
meta.] = macro(C-tab)
meta.[ = C-S-tab
That shortcut is way nicer for my hands, and I unified it everywhere. Luckily, #Ghostty has a config for this.
@kubanrob@discuss.systems
Maybe a particular problem, but ... if you're using #HelixEditor in #Ghostty on MacOS with a German keyboard, it makes sense to map only the left option key to alt in Gostty. That way Helix shortcuts with alt work, and the "special" characters are still accessible through the other option key.

Oh no.. went down the themes rabbit hole again...

Happy to see the #ghostty 1.1 update. It actually has server-side decorations now, so relying on libadwaita for a title bar is a thing of the past. Props to mhashimoto and contributors!

#Ghostty is such a good piece of software and it's only getting better. @mitchellh has been on a tear going off the git commit log. Love it!

It took only five days for #Ghostty to become available in #NixOS and #HomeManger! I'm trying it out as a replacement to #iterm2.

@mitchellh Is it possible to restore a 'multiplexer' setup? Or is that a bridge to far for a thing like #ghostty? #tmux #tmuxp
@WindOfChange@mastodon.online
Test driving #ghostty. It is good. But I don't think I'll be using it anytime soon. Same as other new terminals (kittu, alacritty) it has custom terminfo, which makes it hard to use when one daily connects to various short-lived instances over ssh.
I know I can override the TERM env variable in ssh config, but then why ghostty does not use generic xterm (or variants) from the get go?

A web UI that allows for easy configuration of #Ghostty. How useful!

#ghostty 1.0 is released. I am amazed by the dedication and passion of @mitchellh, and it is truly inspiring.
I switched from iTerm2 to Ghostty, let’s see how it goes. The most striking difference: it is FAST.
Other significant (for me) features:
+ configuration is just a plain text file that can be easily synchronized between multiple machines
+ themes viewer is amazing
+ quick terminal (aka quake-style)
- cannot turn off mouse p̶r̶o̶t̶o̶c̶o̶l̶ reporting (but I’m learning to live with it)
- no “profiles” support (but I barely used it with iTerm either)

@mitchellh Isn't the EUPL or MPL license something for #Ghostty? Then people can use it in any project, but will the gostty code be free.
