Spatial memory is really underutilised in computing.

When libghostty[0] releases maybe you could use that so you don't have to build everything from scratch.

libghostty already powers quite a few alternate terminals:

This project uses alacritty-terminal, so it's also very much 'not from scratch', just using a Rust library to that effect.

libghostty looks really promising! I went with Alacritty as the terminal backend because its core is written in pure rust.
