My Monteverdi platform TUI view uses the tcell go library and it recognizes Ghostty with no problem, but today I discovered that mtr complains it doesn't recognize xterm-ghostty. I see there's some consternation about Ghostty using its own terminfo and I feel like going ... well sonny, back in my day we had to echo terminfo into the amber 80x20 terminal CRT character by character with a lit match just to get BACKSPACE to work! Anyway, yelling at cloud gets me nowhere. To get mtr to work I aliased it with an env var: mtr: aliased to sudo TERM=xterm-256color mtr But I agree with @mitchellh on that crazy issue thread. It's a terminal emulator and that's the whole fucking point of terminfo in the first place. #ghostty #terminfo #terminalnerd
