Does Ghostty have iTerm's native tmux integration feature yet?⁽¹⁾ That is a killer feature these days.
Other things in iTerm that I've come to rely on:
- Instant Replay
- Scrollback timestamps
- Scrollback annotations
- Completion from anything in scrollback (Cmd-;)
- Global search across all tabs
- Automatic profile switching (via shell integration) when ssh'ing to different machines
- Keyboard-based select/copy mode (to avoid having to select with the mouse)
I'm sure I'm missing other stuff, but these things make it hard to switch from iTerm (which has always been a powerhouse for me!)

I’ve been using Ghostty daily since 1.0 (replacing iTerm) and it’s been a solid piece of software. It just… feels robust and well crafted. Scrollback search was the only feature I was missing :)
>Scrollback Search
Finally!
At this point I am thinking apart from Windows release, libghostty is 90% done?
I am hoping Mitchell might move on to do something else.
Great feature set. I'm also using cmux in parallel, for some reason.
