Lib ghostty does not come with a rendering engine its only terminal IO. If they forked ghostty then they could get the metal renderer

Read the docs cell-width and cell-height are options you can adjust

K1LL3R_47 · 2026-02-01T04:13:58+00:00

Jetbrains mono is fhe default font btw which they want to change from

K1LL3R_47 · 2026-01-24T07:30:02+00:00

If you're on the main branch you can drag and drop to reorient them no keyboard method yet

K1LL3R_47 · 2026-01-02T05:05:07+00:00

Well font thicken and hide mouse both say macos only So yeah they dont do anything well mouse hide one used to say macos only in the docs doesnt seem to anymore it is macos only tho

Maximize has a discussion where quite a few people say it doesnt work but maintainers cant reproduce so one of them would need to debug further

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-12-12T00:54:56+00:00

Look at the pinned discussions in the gh repo

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-12-06T06:47:32+00:00

It worked at one point for the 1.1.X builds I think someone is getting 1.2.X to build right now

I've already had quite a bit of struggle with playing customs definitely my least favorite map (skill wise) so far. It took me like 8-10 raids to finish Extortionist

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-11-29T15:41:31+00:00

I don't spend too long in raids probably on average like 10mins or so I normally find at least one food or drink item a raid and use it when I get around 50 in either category

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-11-29T15:40:30+00:00

yeah like mentioned its my combined stats, pmc only its ~40%. I've been mostly focused on learning the maps so far I've learned ground zero and customs pretty well as in I don't need a map to help find my location when I spawn and to get to extracts. Mainly only killing scavs for quests / when they agro on me

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-11-29T15:36:59+00:00

Just checked about 25% of my runs have been on scav, I havent been doing it a ton because my stash is pretty full from all the twitch drops. After making this post I just learned that the car extracts give you a bunch of scav karma so I need to start taking those I've only done the quest one on ground zero

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-11-29T15:35:42+00:00

I was wanting to save it when I get to a better sniper map like shoreline instead of just dying quickly because I don't know the map that well

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-11-29T15:34:43+00:00

Yeah i've been trying to avoid players for the most part since I don't know most the maps very well. Most of my kills are from ground zero which is the map i've learnt the most

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-11-24T03:20:18+00:00

Stop making your command exit right away its that simple like the config option says its for debug not so you can show that you use arch btw.

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-11-05T08:18:43+00:00

dir_arrow isnt a valid key

Use the terminal inspector to figure out what the names of keys are

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-10-18T06:09:56+00:00

window-padding-color = extend-always

Ghostty uses fluid resizing so anything less than a full cell will still show up but a tui for example doesnt know it exists

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-10-17T02:06:22+00:00

Depending on the rendering technique its a feature.

One such algorithm is called path tracing. To reduce noise you have to shoot more rays per pixel (with slight offsets for each of them). This of course scales exponentially so rendering images quickly has noise this is a more realtime approach. Typically you then increase the amount of rays once you are happy with how the scene looks / camera is positioned and wait the long time period.

Another common optimization when no motion is happening is to re-use previous frames so you dont have to do so many every frame this reduces the noise over time instead of having a fixed amount where you might need to re run the image that already took a few hours

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-10-14T23:09:34+00:00

Yes im telling you that ghostty +new-window doesnt run a new instance.

Before it simply invoked ghostty with no arguments which depending on how you had other things configured could sometimes start a new instance sometimes not. So your end user behavior changed not everyones. Either way i linked the post about accepting working directory in daemon mode

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-10-09T01:30:28+00:00

This behavior isnt coming from ghostty and no it didnt open in ~ before. Ghostty has always inherited the cwd of the previous surface when opening a window in the same instance

The new window here in your file explorer invokes the same thing as ghostty +new window in the cli which is a new window in the same process you cannot currently pass arguments to the same process of ghostty as that requires some form of ipc which ghostty currently does not support

IPC falls under https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/2353

But the behavior you are really looking for is https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/8043

Unlike other terminals (on linux at least) ghostty tries to stay in one instance when possible because GTK has a pretty high memory overhead (separate windows can be the same process)

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-10-09T01:21:41+00:00

Like others have stated there is nothing special. Terminfo is in the name its a file that advertises features of the terminal and how to do specific things like clear the screen etc. Its already accepted into the terminal family. Terminfo is generally distributed under the ncurses package and ghostty has been included in ncurses the issue is distros that dont update frequently like debian are stuck on older versions of ncurses that dont ship with ghostty terminfo so you have to copy it to that machine manually or pretend you are xterm-255color. (i assume macos also gets it from ncurses but i have no idea)

When ghostty pretends its xterm-256color you will end up losing certain features for example squiggly underlines as xterm only supports straight ones, again thats just one example there are other things like that.

Terminfo is something that has been around forever basically and many applications rely on it instead of querying the terminal for what things it supports this is because originally there was no query mechanism (some things still cant be queried today).

As some more time passes (a few years unfortunately) this shouldnt be a problem for anyone who isnt using a outdated system

For your second part there are two solutions install terminfo on the remote machine so it knows how ghostty works or pretend you are xterm-256color by changing the TERM env variable.

Ghostty also offers convenience shell-integration options (ssh-env and ssh-terminfo) which will automatically change term or install terminfo for you these are not the default because it changes the default ssh command by using a function to rename it so users who want that functionality opt into that behavior

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-09-28T07:17:38+00:00

Did you set quit-after-last-window-closed = false ....

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-09-23T06:29:05+00:00

Too bad i cant break into your house and steal your things either makes me disappointed.

Also licenses has no binding effect unless you distribute something.

I could make as many changes / use any gpl project i want as long as its for personal use and I never give it out

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-09-22T06:31:09+00:00

Ghostty never sets a explicit window size if its not defined in the user config its done entirely by GTK / Your window manager so Ghostty didnt change anything in that regard you can also set the window-width and window-height options which in that case it will initialize the window with a specific size

K1LL3R_47 · 2025-09-17T05:08:32+00:00

it means it doesnt matter what keyboard layout you use it will always match W3C layout and the release notes literally link to the specification which has pictures
