README.md

Example: ghostty-vt Selection

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt terminal, grid reference, selection, and formatter APIs to derive selections such as a word, semantic command line, command output, and all visible content.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
