Ghostty version 1.3 has now arrived with improvements to searching, clipboard, macOS integration, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>The most significant improvement in this release might be scroll back search, which allows you to search through your entire terminal session history. The default binding is Cmd+F on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+F on other platforms, and on Mac and Linux, the search bar can be dragged to any of the four corners of the terminal window.<\/p>\n<p>The release notes explained, \u201cSearch is implemented using a dedicated search thread that operates concurrently with terminal I\/O. The thread grabs the terminal lock in small time slices to make forward progress on searching while minimizing impact on I\/O throughput or rendering. If you do not use search, or you close the search bar, the search thread exits and does not consume any resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>        Credit:\u00a0Ghostty<\/p>\n<p>Ghostty also now has native scrollbars across all platforms. By default, the operating system decides if the scrollbar should be visible or not, but you can also change that behavior with the new scrollbar setting. You can also now click inside the shell to move the cursor, like a normal text field, as long as it\u2019s supposed by the shell. That works natively with Fish (v4+) and Nutshell (v0.11+), with more limited support in other shells using Ghostty\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/the-excellent-open-source-ghostty-terminal-app-just-got-an-upgrade\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The excellent Ghostty terminal app just got an upgrade on Linux and Mac https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/the-excellent-open-source-ghostty-terminal-app-just-got-an-upgrade\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":221683,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.howtogeekimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ghostty.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-221682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221682"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221682"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221684,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221682\/revisions\/221684"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
