Ghostel.el brings Ghostty's VT engine to Emacs
Ghostel.el is a terminal emulator for Emacs powered by libghostty-vt, the same VT engine used by Ghostty. It uses a native module for terminal state, rendering, and local PTY I/O, while Elisp handles keymaps, buffers, commands, and remote process integration. The project highlights support for modern terminal features such as Kitty graphics, OSC 8 links, and synchronized output.
