Good. Maybe they'll add search to the terminal now. /s

  GTK is also merged. Main branch has search. Its also exposed via libghostty for embedders.

  But only in the the tip (nightly) build. I'm somewhat tempted to switch to them for this.

    A while ago I compiled Ghostty from HEAD, because it had a bug fix I cared for. It was a very stable and pleasant experience. No hassle whatsoever.

      If you'd like you can also use `tip` as the update channel to get the nightly build binary without having to compile it yourself: https://ghostty.org/docs/config/reference#auto-update-channel https://ghostty.org/docs/config/reference#auto-update-channe...

        Ah. Cool!

      If you need to do that again note that there is asdf plugin as well ;-) For Linux compiling is actually the only way to get tip.

I'm hoping they'll get around to supporting command-number for switching between windows[0]. command-` is fine but clunky as hell when you have more than three or four windows. Without command-number, I'm still stuck using iTerm2 as my daily driver. (It'd be nice if it supported other standard macOS UI conventions[1] too) [0] https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/8131 https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/8131 [1] https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20macos https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues?q=is%3Aissue%2...

A little unfair that this is downvoted. No search is like a dealbreaker for me. I'm happy with iTerm and for 99% of my use cases I don't need a "very fast" terminal. Thanks for pointing this out. Seems I will wait a little longer before search is in the regular build (and not nightly ones)

  Ghostty 1.3 will release in March.
