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.

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

>>zikdur+(OP)
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)

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-channe...

>>zikdur+(OP)
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.

>>memco+zs
Ah. Cool!

>>cpach+cl
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.
