Ghostty is a terminal emulator that intends to be fully xterm
compatible. Unfortunately, due to disagreements between the ncurses
maintainers and the Ghostty maintainers, it has two TERM values:
"xterm-ghostty" (preferred by ghostty maintainers) and "ghostty"
(preferred by ncurses maintainers). Many people run with TERM set to
"ghostty" because that's what ncurses packages, however that prevents
Emacs from noticing that this terminal is xterm compatible.
Adding ("ghostty" . "xterm") to term-file-aliases enables Emacs to
properly handle this terminal with both values. It's a simple patch:
("vt420" . "vt200")
("alacritty" . "xterm")
("foot" . "xterm")
- ("contour" . "xterm"))
+ ("contour" . "xterm")
+ ("ghostty" . "xterm"))
"Alist of terminal type aliases.
Entries are of the form (TYPE . ALIAS), where both elements are
strings.
This means to treat a terminal of type TYPE as if it were of type
ALIAS."
