Resolves the 13 rows still partial in docs/rewrite/notes/review-rv4- codex.md (details in final-Z5.md): - Escaped config strings are decoded to raw bytes at every OS boundary: Flatpak cwd/argv to D-Bus, screen-file paths, the default config template, GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR/TERMINFO/shell integration/ bindtextdomain consumers, custom shader loading, list-themes hyperlinks. - osbytes escapes literal U+FDD0 on non-Unix too (bijective everywhere); the GTK paste dialog only decodes text that was actually encoded. - shadertoy: whole-array uses of iChannelTime rebuild a plain float[4] from the std140-padded members (naga-validated, MSL offsets checked). - libghostty-vt: the OSC parser holds caller-allocated storage inline and command payloads borrow from it, so ghostty_osc_end performs no global allocations (verified from Rust and C). - crash: aarch64 Linux minidump context fixed; macOS fatal signals record siginfo, registers and a fault-safe stack walk. - tripwire: selectionString map allocation-failure cleanup test ported. - libghostty-vt emits the versioned soname libghostty-vt.so.0 at build time (no patchelf needed at install). Test Plan: - cargo test --workspace (3342 passed) - just check-macos; just check-macos x86_64-apple-darwin; just check-windows; just check-wasm - cargo check --target aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu -p ghostty-crash
ghostty-rs
A Rust rewrite of the Ghostty 1.3.1 terminal emulator for Linux (GTK4 + libadwaita, OpenGL).
It aims for behavioural parity with Ghostty: the same configuration file
format, options, defaults and documentation; the same keybindings and
actions; the same ghostty +action CLI; the same terminal emulation
(including kitty keyboard/graphics protocols, OSC 8 hyperlinks, semantic
prompts, synchronized output, tmux control mode); the same shell
integration, themes and terminfo.
Out of scope: macOS, Windows, WASM, the embedded libghostty C API, and
Sentry crash reporting (disabled by default on Linux upstream).
Building and running
Requirements: Rust (edition 2024), GTK ≥ 4.14, libadwaita ≥ 1.5,
fontconfig, freetype, harfbuzz, Oniguruma, libepoxy, blueprint-compiler
and glib-compile-resources at build time.
cargo run # open a terminal window running your shell
cargo run -- -e htop # run a command
cargo run -- +list-themes # CLI actions work like Ghostty's
cargo run --profile production # optimized build (LTO, no debug assertions)
Development builds find resources/ (shell integration, themes, terminfo)
automatically. Your existing Ghostty config
(~/.config/ghostty/config[.ghostty]) is used as-is.
Installing
just install /usr/local # binary, share/ghostty, terminfo, desktop files,
# completions, man pages, translations, icons
just install /usr false true # system-package layout (lib/systemd/user)
Testing
just test # cargo test --workspace (~3000 tests)
just clippy # clippy with -D warnings
Every Zig test block of the ported files was ported to a Rust test.
crates/ghostty-core/tests holds end-to-end tests that drive the real core,
terminal and a real pty through a fake app runtime. ghostty-bench mirrors
Ghostty's benchmark tool; terminal stream throughput is on par with the Zig
build (see docs/rewrite/notes/perf-P1.md).
