Space in Local Files directory and Ghostty support

Feature requests
1

Hi,

I use Ghostty with Local. Ghostty has a nice feature where you can command click a path in the terminal to open the file or folder. However, because Local has this file path, it breaks the Ghostty feature: /Local Sites/site-name/app/

My feature request would be to rename the Local directory to: /Local-Sites/site-name/app/

Ultimately Ghostty ought to eventually make a workaround for spaces, but for many use cases spaces in file paths break things, so it would be cleaner to add a connector to Local’s directory structure.

Thank you!

Thanks for your suggestion, @graemeblake.

It looks like this was fixed in https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/pull/10619, targeted for release in Ghostty 1.3.

I tested on the nightly version of Ghostty on macOS. Spaces in Local Sites no longer stop me from command-clicking to open that path in the Finder.

Ah fantastic, thank you for testing! This is great news, I’ll wait for it to come to the regular Ghostty release then. Appreciate the great support.

Hi,

Just wanted to followup. It turns out Claude Code is hitting an enormous number of permission prompts for "Contains backslash-escaped whitespace”, as Claude Code seems to like to do commands such as this:

cd /Users/graemeblake/Local
Sites/personal-site/app/public

So the issue is broader than Ghostty. Spaces in file paths have the potential to break a number of things. So I wanted to flag this again as a possibly fix, to something such as /local-sites/. Might be difficulty
due to existing installs but the payoff is high for agentic coding.

Thanks!
