I'm still on iTerm2, simply because it just seems to work and has all the features I want

Occasionally I'll check out other terms people rave about. Tried kitty, wezterm, and a few others a while back, but wound up coming back to iterm.

Still, really happy to see things like this gaining traction. An easy way to implement high performance terminals in any application is a boon

Image support is much better in iterm2, you can open them, save them - then you can easily download any file. And fonts also look much nicer.

Search and tmux integration are where iTerm2 really shines imo. I use Ghostty 99% of the time now though. (Search did get a lot better with the latest release.) What features specifically keep you on iTerm2?

Aside from the outstanding tmux integration (and search):

  - Font rendering (and cell size control) is still better on iTerm2, although Ghostty has been rapidly gaining
  - Compact theme with thin titlebar tabs
  - Profiles
  - Window arrangements
  - In-terminal API (which Mitchell has acknowledged as a useful feature)
The iTerm2 settings/preferences are a mixed bag. On the one hand, discoverability and settings search. On the other hand the panel is insane. Also iTerm2 doesn't have Ghostty's straightforward prefs file. I guess I want the best of both worlds: A well-organized settings UI, with search; and a file I can easily neovim.

In what way did search get better for you with 1.4? The hotkeys to navigate search results (Cmd+G / Cmd+Shift+G) don't work for me even with custom keybindings as documented and the search box doesn't get prefilled with current selection - the _only_ two features that I'd ask for besides the actual search working. Were you able to solve these in your setup?

No shade to ghostty btw, it's an amazing product that I use every day. I just have to accept the lack of some of this usability polish.
