Does Ghostty need to be restarted after config changes?

No, Ghostty typically reloads its configuration automatically whenever the config file is saved.

What is the correct format for Ghostty configuration?

Ghostty uses a custom format where settings are defined as `key = value`. Most values do not require quotes, and multiple values (like fonts) are added by repeating the key.

Can I list installed fonts that Ghostty can use?

Yes, use the command `ghostty +list-fonts` to see a complete list of fonts available to the Ghostty terminal.

How do I see all available Ghostty settings?

You can use the command `ghostty +show-config --default --docs` to view the full configuration reference with inline documentation directly in your terminal.
