The feature is already available in development builds on Linux and macOS and can be enabled by adding `scrollbar = system` to the Ghostty config file. Two values are supported: 'system' (desktop environment decides visibility) and 'never'. The release also brings a command palette session search, tab renaming on Linux, and a read-only tab indicator. Ghostty uses GTK4 natively on Linux and a Swift frontend on macOS, avoiding Electron or non-native toolkits. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
