Ghostty

What this config does

Ghostty uses Zsh as a login shell, JetBrains Mono Nerd Font, zsh shell integration, and a small dark palette. GNOME shortcuts launch Ghostty and Ghostty with Zellij.

Nix location

conf/shared.nix: programs.ghostty
conf/shared.nix: GNOME keybindings under dconf.settings

Portable setup

Install Ghostty from your distro or from upstream packages. Install JetBrains Mono Nerd Font before copying the font setting.

Create or edit ~/.config/ghostty/config:

font-family = JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Propo
font-style = SemiBold
font-size = 16
window-padding-x = 8
window-padding-y = 8
background = 1b1b1b
foreground = ffffff
cursor-color = 78a9ff
cursor-text = 161616
mouse-hide-while-typing = true
copy-on-select = false
confirm-close-surface = false
shell-integration = zsh
command = zsh --login

Add the palette if you want the same colors:

palette = 0=#161616
palette = 1=#ee5396
palette = 2=#42be65
palette = 3=#ff7eb6
palette = 4=#33b1ff
palette = 5=#be95ff
palette = 6=#3ddbd9
palette = 7=#ffffff
palette = 8=#525252
palette = 9=#ee5396
palette = 10=#42be65
palette = 11=#ff7eb6
palette = 12=#33b1ff
palette = 13=#be95ff
palette = 14=#3ddbd9
palette = 15=#ffffff

On NixOS the command path is /run/current-system/sw/bin/zsh --login. Use zsh --login outside NixOS.
