The growing popularity of ghostty has made me realize a lot of people don’t use scroll back history search. I use it frequently to save time and avoid having to rerun time intensive tasks to pipe them through grep or tee everything to a file.
- jorl17 1y agoThis exactly! Can't move from iterm2 until this feature, which is absolutely essential to me, is implemented. Love the work they're doing though!!
- xbar 1y agoAre there any workarounds?
- antew 1y agoIn my ghostty config I use: scrollback-limit = 512000000 keybind = super+f=write_scrollback_file:open It writes it to a temporary file and then opens the file in the default text editor when I hit Cmd+F.
- jasonjmcghee 1y agotmux But there's a whole thread on other workarounds etc. Apparently it's on the roadmap. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/189 https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/189
- s_trumpet 1y agoThe other thing keeping me on iTerm is Ghostty lacking tab support in quake mode
- tristan957 1y agoI'm pretty certain that exists, at least on macOS, but I don't use that feature. I just follow development. Source: ghosty maintainer
