remove some major annoyances:

  • TERM setting that is more compatible with most real world apps
  • != should be displayed as two characters, not one
  • don't ask when closing a tab (= don't block shutdowns/reboots)
#   ~/.config/ghostty/config

# https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/3161
command = TERM=xterm-256color /usr/bin/bash

# disable programming ligatures
font-feature = -calt

confirm-close-surface = false

mkdir -p ~/.config/environment.d
echo 'GTK_IM_MODULE=simple' > ~/.config/environment.d/50-gtk-im.conf
