Oh damn, this is awesome.
I wonder if https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/18129 is still accurate. Would love to be able to use Ghostty as my Zed terminal.

Woohoo! Thank you!

i switched from alacritty -> ghostty, and occasionally use zed.
i can't recall why i made the transition (maybe just to try it out, and it became default?). i can't think of any practical consequences of this transition.
why do you care about whether zed uses alacritty or ghostty under the hood?
Kitty Graphics Protocol support and subtle font rendering differences between Ghostty and Alacritty that drive me nuts.
I have reported font rendering issues to Alacritty in the past and let's just say the developer was not exactly receptive to fixing them since they occur on macOS and not his preferred OS of Linux.
We'd love to (and, tbh, likely will).
Search had been a blocker, but that's coming soon; beyond that not sure that there's any reason other than inertia. Alacritty is totally fine, but excited for the Ghostty focus on performance (obviously), and the font rendering stuff looks excellent (though TBD how much of that we can "just use" vs needing to copy-pasta)
