I switched my terminal from Warp to Ghostty over the weekend. I had been using Warp for almost a couple of years now and it has been great. But I wanted to try something new and Ghostty seemed like a good option. I have been using it for a few days now, and I really enjoy the experience so far.

The default configuration of Ghostty is pretty good. However, I made a few changes to adapt it to my muscle memory.

  • Font Size: Increased to 16px.
  • Theme: Changed to Dracula+.
  • Keybindings(macOS specific): Allow CMD + Backspace to delete the current line buffer.

Here is the current configuration of Ghostty:

# Increase the default font size.
font-size = 18

# Allow CMD + Backspace to delete the current line buffer (like Warp).
keybind = cmd+backspace=esc:w

# ZSH Shell
shell-integration = zsh

# Theme
theme = Dracula+

I will keep using Ghostty for a few more days and see how it goes.
