ghostty-config

Ghostty configuration uses a text-based config file with key=value pairs. Edit your platform-specific config file (macOS: ~/.config/ghostty/config, Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ghostty/config) to set fonts, colors, and keybindings. Changes take effect on restart or via CLI reload.

Ghostty supports automatic and manual shell integration for bash, zsh, fish, and elvish. Configure integration in your Ghostty config file, then source the appropriate shell script in your shell profile for features like prompt rendering and command tracking.

Ghostty config uses case-sensitive keys with flexible whitespace around equals signs. Empty values reset options to defaults. Use include directives to load additional configs; CLI options override file settings, and end-of-file include semantics apply for layered configuration.

Configure window position, size, and decoration settings in your Ghostty config file, then bind a global keybinding to toggle the window. Set quick-terminal-position and related display options, then use keybindings to trigger the drop-down behavior.

Ghostty config is cross-platform but respects platform-specific paths: macOS uses ~/.config/ghostty/config with precedence rules, Linux follows XDG standards. Configuration options for fonts, colors, and keybindings work consistently across platforms with platform-aware CLI interactions.

Empty configuration values reset options to their defaults. CLI-driven configuration overrides file settings. Include directives follow end-of-file override semantics, so later includes or CLI flags take precedence over earlier file definitions.
