I'm using ctrl+` :

    keybind = global:ctrl+grave_accent=toggle_quick_terminal
It was the first thing I made sure ghostty supported it before trying it.

Setting the initial height of the quick terminal is under development: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/2384

Lack of tab support in the quick terminal is a bummer, but it should come eventually: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/issues/2329#issuecomm...

For now, splits are the way to go in the quick terminal.



Note, if someone is trying this, that you need to grant accessibility permissions for it to work when Ghostty isn't focused.


Thanks for the heads up - not sure I’ll be able to use it on my work laptop womp womp
