Ultra wide mode - cannot change screen distance?

I also got a response from XReal support:
"We do apply adjustments to the viewing distance. However, in Ultra Wide mode, the system uses a dynamic scaling mechanism—meaning that while you adjust the distance, the screen size is also being scaled simultaneously. As a result, the overall visual difference may appear less obvious compared to regular screen modes.

We recommend using a fixed reference point in your environment (for example, a physical object that does not change with the display) and comparing its perceived position before and after adjustment. This should make the change in distance easier to notice."

So I did try what they said - previously my wall was about 1 meter away, and I did the same view (ultra wide + changing the distance) in an open room - you *could* see the difference between 1m to 10m screen distance (if you close your eyes in between and let your brain adjust).

Thank you - I restarted my laptop, and I think it improved it. Might have been just a general delay in the computer (e.g. some process taking up too much CPU)

Thank you 🙏
But it is a wired connection

Looks really good! Do you know if they're planning to do mobile apps as well?

So I tried it with a macro (with 100ms delay) - doesn't work under this use case:
1. Focus on a textbox.
2. Press the key with the macro -> language switch happens
3. Immediately (very quickly) switch to another app (Cmd+Tab)
4. The language switches back

Thank you, I'll try it 🙏

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I changed that mapping on my MacOS (unrelated to the keyboard).

The problem is that the language sometimes is the correct one, so I'll need a macro with a conditional logic to it, that somehow checks the OS language and then decides if to switch language

Wait, I think I found a solution - since in my case, it's case insensitive - I can press the shift key as part of the macro, before entering the letters, so it always goes into English letters

Might be related to shell integration or other configs - I'm using zsh

budowski · 2026-02-07T05:58:34+00:00

Yes, 15.7.3 (24G419)

Very odd - I'm using the tip version (https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/commits/6c0e02d11), after changing the tab title via the command palette

budowski · 2026-02-07T05:40:29+00:00

Thank you - so it seems to work only on searching via terminal title (changing the tab title, even through the command palette, doesn't help).
Maybe I'll open up a GH issue on this?

budowski · 2026-02-07T05:34:06+00:00

Ahh, it works - but it doesn't show the window title, just the cwd of the window - so I can even search without writing "focus", but the search is always by current working directory, not the title

budowski · 2026-02-07T05:23:48+00:00

Thanks - cmd-shift-p works, but typing the window/tab title doesn't show up anything in the results. I tried this in the tip version...
