How Terminal and Ghostty native tabs work in TabStack

Published by BetterStage · Instructions for our macOS app; detailed feature reference is linked below.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Terminal or Ghostty in a TabStack pane. Use the app’s own tabs inside that window.

  2. 2

    BetterStage’s tab strip still represents the window. The app’s native tabs stay in the pane BetterStage assigned.

  3. 3

    Switching stages keeps that window in the same pane slot.
