I'm curious, why did you move if there is also now the new Ghost TTI with 0.4? What do you benefit from this?
replyNot OP either but I moved back to kitty after giving ghostty a try. Kitty is pretty mature and it has tons of features. I don't use them all by any means, but enough that I missed them. It has all those features yet it feels so barebones: kitty is a delight.
replyAlso not OP but Ghostty to my knowledge doesn't support predefined layouts, so that was my reason. I tried zellij, which is awesome, but Kitty turned out to be much easier to set up and ultimately use.
replyNot OP, but I've moved back to kitty because of ghostty horrendous startup time on linux
replyI figured that was an issue with the appimage for me. Did you install it a different way that you ran into that issue?
replyThat's a one time cost though isn't it? It's a tradeoff, but once it is booted it's blazing though.
replyWhen I use the terminal, I spawn and kill a lot of instances for quick tasks. Having a longer startup times is definitely noticeable.
replyI'd say 100-200 ms is not horrendous but it can be much better without giving up on libghostty-vt :) check out Monstar.
replyNow, Monstar has a bizarre issue (at least in my setup) where it displays blank instead of capital A when used with Fixedsys Excelsior, for some reason. But hey it starts in under 10ms.
edit:typo
I use this icon too! Only thing I customize after installing kitty.
