The community overwhelmingly praises libghostty 1.0 for providing a stable, high-performance C library that simplifies embedding terminal emulation in diverse applications like IDEs and custom TUIs. Users highlight the project's rigorous ABI design and rapid ecosystem growth as key benefits, although some note that specific features like Windows support or advanced configuration UIs remain limited compared to established terminals.

Yes OSC 52 is very handy for vim over SSH: instead of X11 forwarding - you can just yank text from remote vim into the local clipboard using OSC 52 [1].
Overall it's much quicker - as yanking in vim with X11 forwarding and '+clipboard' sometimes had a delay.
(ps: I think OSC 52 is implemented in xterm and URXVT, but not yet in gnome-terminal)

In Clipboard: Cut, copy, and paste anything, anywhere, all from the terminal> Cut and paste
If your terminal supports it (iterm, kitty, later versions of gnome-terminal and others) this osc52 plugin is really sweet. It even works over ssh.

1 points · Open discussionI use this [0] vim plugin to copy and it works great. For the CLI in ssh I use this app [1]. Both leverage OSC52 escape codes which are widely supported by terminals nowadays.
Need to figure out an equally simple solution for CLI paste support though.

In Clipboard integration between tmux, nvim, zsh, x11, across SSH sessionsHey, that's quite interesting. Just tested it here with alacritty and was able to get data from a remote server into the clipboard. The downside here is that it did not seem to work immediately from inside tmux, but a quick search shows that there are ways to make it work. Also found a vim-plugin[1] that would allow it to work from inside vim as well. If I can also find a way to pipe random commands to it, it might indeed work better than clipper for my use cases. Finally, there is the added benefit of removing the need to forward the local UNIX socket over SSH, which I find to be a bit flaky. Thanks for sharing it!
