lite-ghostty

A terminal plugin for lite-xl backed by libghostty-vt, intended as a fully-featured replacement for lite-xl-terminal.

Notable differences from lite-xl-terminal:

• Uses libghostty-vt for VT processing, aiming for full terminal compatibility.
• Terminals open as tabs in a configurable panel (top, bottom, left, or right of the editor area), controlled by the split config option.

Platform support

Currently Windows-only. Support for other platforms should be straightforward to add — pull requests are welcome.

Building
