ghostty/example/c-vt-paste/README.md

Example: ghostty-vt Paste

This contains a simple example of how to paste into a ghostty-vt terminal with ghostty_terminal_paste: plain and bracketed (mode 2004) text pastes, the unsafe-paste confirmation flow, and Kitty clipboard protocol paste events (mode 5522) including the program's follow-up clipboard read. It also shows the terminal-free building blocks for checking paste safety and encoding paste data.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
