I've always wanted to like Alacritty but they've had an open issue to support ligatures since 2017 and they're not in a rush to implement them.

Now the only feature I need in Ghostty is Windows support.

I use ghostty on my mac but have you forgot about ctrl + f to find things support in ghostty (I don't think it has ctrl f support iirc right?)

    I'm always running tmux so it's not typically a feature I look for, but as you mention it doesn't seem to trigger a find for terminal scrollback. Wezterm doesn't do this either so maybe that's an iTerm thing. I always assume Ctrl keybindings will trigger emacs mode shortcuts in the tty.

    Update: Windows Terminal doesn't do it either.

      Ctrl+Shift+F on my Windows Terminal - don't remember, have I've adjusted it or it's default behavior

      I see in config file, actions { "id": "User.find", "keys": "ctrl+shift+f" },

      so probably I did

      I would love to use tmux. I have used yazi in the past and I really liked it but I was barely using it to its fullest potential.

      I think I have "skill issue" regarding tmux and I used to use hyprland (recently went to niri) and I just always preferred opening up another terminal I used to use (which was foot back when I was using my own config and it was alacritty on cachy/ idk what was on omarchy for the time I was on omarchy but I don't like omarchy)

      Is there actually a way to fix this skill issue, like I want something so simple in start that I just run it and forget and still get decent amount of benefits?
