Operating Ghostty

Treat the installed binary and its help output as the source of truth because Ghostty behavior varies by version, build, and platform.

Establish Context

  1. Run command -v ghostty, ghostty +version, and ghostty --help before relying on remembered syntax.
  2. Run ghostty +<cli-action> --help before using a helper action whose flags or effects are uncertain.
  3. Use ghostty +help to list CLI helper actions.
  4. Use ghostty +list-actions --docs to list documented keybind and command-palette actions.
  5. Use ghostty +list-keybinds --plain for active keybinds and add --default when inspecting built-in bindings.

Do not confuse the two action systems. CLI helper actions have names such as +show-config and are invoked as commands. Names from +list-actions, such as new_tab, reload_config, and toggle_fullscreen, are configuration actions and cannot generally be invoked as ghostty +<name>.
