- The page says each GPU cell uses 20 bytes and unchanged rows are reused rather than redrawn.
Field notes
The two integration routes make different tradeoffs: the xterm-compatible route retains xterm’s parser and buffer, while the native route puts Ghostty terminal semantics in a worker. The page also describes Kitty keyboard encoding and reflow on the native path, and lists search, themes, Unicode 11, serialize, and web links among compatible addons. Its benchmark notes distinguish GPU-completed updates from display frames.
