Can we have [https://ghostty.org/](https://ghostty.org/) as terminal app? It’s lightweight and follows the standards better than most.

I would also love to see Ghostty as a supported terminal app. It runs very fast

Nice 🙂

How do you open Ghostty? I’ve been trying to do it myself, but the cli doesn’t support “open path in tab”

@soderlind We just call `open -a ghostty [path/to/the/local/shell-setup-script.sh]`. It will open a new window, not a new tab, but that’s fine for most cases and matches Local’s other terminal handling.
