I love Ghostty, especially the UI is so much nicer than Kitty. However, for some reason ghostty sometimes has severe issues with dealing with SSH connections. The terminal is like broken and wrongly displayed and you can't properly type something. Therefore, I still use Kitty, especially for SSH connections. I don't know what `kitten ssh` does, but it makes my terminal work with SSH.

This is what kills it for me. Half the time I'm using a terminal I'm sshing and the fact that I need to copy over term-info on virtually every machine keeps me from using it more often. Even copying term-info doesn't always fix it. From what I've read it's not entirely ghostty's fault but as a user it's frustrating.

Have you seen the `ssh-terminfo` option for shell integration? https://ghostty.org/docs/config/reference#shell-integration-...

[icedrift]

No I haven't seen that before. I used to just run the terminfo tic command that's recommended in the top searches and when that started failing I just swapped back to default terminal for SSH

you can always export TERM=xterm or some other value if that's causing you grief while distros catch up.

Same. On the tip of main, at least, I can open the command palette and choose reset to bring it back to life. I set a keybinding for reset to skip the command palette.

What are you talking about? What UI does Kitty have?

[ghosty141]

He probably refers to the fact that Ghostty aims to use the native window decorations etc.. So for example on Ubuntu it uses gtk, on mac the native macOS tab bar etc. Same goes for the scrollbar and search window.

I really like this a lot.

Big one are the tabs. Kitty has tabs, but rendered in the text rows, so it's missing features that the native OS tabs provide (drag and drop, easy to move around and split into windows...)
