Terminal features

Section titled “Scrollback search”

Cmd+F searches the terminal scrollback. Matches are highlighted; Cmd+G jumps to the next match and Cmd+Shift+G to the previous. Escape closes the search bar.

Smooth scrolling

Section titled “Smooth scrolling”

Trackpad scrolling uses full smooth pixel scrolling via sub-row CALayer transforms. A notched mouse wheel adds a velocity-based animation for smoother transitions. You can disable it from Settings if you prefer raw line steps.

Native scrollbar

Section titled “Native scrollbar”

Terminal scrollback uses the system overlay scrollbar — the same one you see in other macOS apps.

Drag-and-drop

Section titled “Drag-and-drop”

Drop a file, URL, or text onto the terminal to insert it. File paths are shell-escaped automatically, so paths with spaces or special characters work without manual quoting.

Click-to-move cursor

Section titled “Click-to-move cursor”

Click a prompt line to reposition the cursor. Under the hood this is Ghostty’s cursor-click-to-move, which translates clicks into arrow-key steps over terminal cells — shell integration must be enabled.
