Any plans for Ghostty to have the history of the terminal window reloaded on restart? Like the Mac native terminal app does? I am a heavy terminal user with a lot of tabs open, and after I restart the computer for whatever reason, I would like to have my terminal(s) as I left them.

Use tmux or something like it (I now use zmx[1]).

I am not interested in workarounds.

The feature you're asking for is a terminal multiplexer. You want one built in, but to suggest terminal multiplexers are a workaround to requiring a terminal multiplexer is a stretch.

It is not a terminal multiplexer feature, it is one of the terminal software itself.

I do not know if you read my initial commment, but MacOS Terminal (native app) has this feature. And it is not a terminal multiplexer like tmux or what you proposed.

Why static output history for a session/tab with reload on restart should be a multiplexer feature? I mean, the Ghostty GUI has already multiple tabs and split terminals, aren't those multiplexer features as well? I don't follow you.
