+# Unsuitable Terminal
+
+*ghostty* is a new formidable terminal emulator. I wanted to try it out, but when I attempted to SSH to some remote hosts I got the following error:
+
+```text
+missing or unsuitable terminal: xterm-ghostty
+```
+
+I did some _googling_ and found [a blog post][vninja], which suggested 3 different workarounds.
+
+One was updating `term_info` on the remote host, this is somewhat cumbersome and not something I wanted to maintain going forward with updates on the remote host.
+
+Second was by the blog post author and involved changing the `TERM` environment variable to something more recognisable than: `xterm-ghostty`.
+
+```shell
+[[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "ghostty" ]]; then
+    export TERM=xterm-256color
+```
+
+The last one, which I chose to go with was changing my SSH configuration on my local machine, so the environment variable was set as part of the SSH configuration:
+
+```text
+SetEnv TERM=xterm-256color
+```
+
+The last part works like a charm as sort of does the same as the second one.

+# Ghostty Visor
+
+*Ghostty* has a nifty feature of a terminal window you can access easily even if *Ghostty* is not the active application.
+
+I have mapped this to: `<shift>`-`<command>`-`<t>`.
+
+So if *Ghostty* is running, I have an easily accessible terminal (visor). The feature is called quick terminal, but I have seen it referred to as a visor from other applications and in the requests for the feature in *Ghostty*.
