--- Comment #13 from David Marker <[email protected]> ---
I never install ghostty on my FreeBSD systems, but use it from macos and ssh
into my FreeBSD systems.

I missed when it changed, but contrib/ncurses/misc/terminfo.src now has a
ghostty entry (and its all the way back to stable/14 as well):

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/74f75000499001ea7e8e8261b56f2b0538e2125c/contrib/ncurses/misc/terminfo.src#L8534

That was back in January for
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commit/297d5bf8906

If I simply remove the `xterm-ghostty` entry in `/usr/share/misc/termcap` it
gets the correct information from terminfo. Maybe the right thing is just not
have ghostty in termcap?
