Description

Hello,
I just updated to version 2.54.0 and wanted to try the new display.key.type feature, since I’m using Ghostty with the default font.
However, when I enable display.key.type in my config file, a second column of icons appears.
If it's useful, I'm using macOS Sequoia 15.7.1. and Ghostty 1.2.2.

Also, although it’s unrelated, VS Code shows an error when trying to parse the JSONC schema.

Thery are builtin icons of fastfetch. The behavior is what "type": "both-1" designed for. Since you set your icons in modules.key you don't want "type": "both-1".

[CTRL-panino]

Oh, I see.
I thought it would have worked for custom icons too, since Ghostty 1.2 "removes" one space after the icon when using the default font.
Thank you for the clarification

"separator": " ",

"separator": " ",

Yes, I’m already using the double-space separator in my config file.
However, this creates a discrepancy: when I use the double-space separator, it looks right in Ghostty but odd in other terminals (and vice versa — a single-space separator looks fine in other terminals but misaligned in Ghostty).
I hoped display.key.type would have solved the problem, but I misunderstood

[CarterLi]

You should use monospace nerd font. For example, use JetBrainsMonoNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf instead of JetBrainsMonoNerdFont-Regular.ttf

[CTRL-panino]

Thank you for the suggestion.
I was using the monospaced version before, but I liked that the Ghostty 1.2 default font enlarges the Nerd Font icons.
So I was trying to stick with the Ghostty default font, while trying not to break my existing configs.
If there’s no way to both keep the larger Nerd Font icons and maintain my current configurations, I'll switch back to the monospaced version.
