Warp gives Ghostty users a fast path to bring over themes, fonts, and keybindings, plus native equivalents for the Ghostty features you rely on, from the quick terminal to native tabs and splits.

## What Warp can help transfer

Warp doesn't have a one-click Ghostty importer. Because Ghostty stores its configuration in a plain-text key-value file at `~/.config/ghostty/config`, Warp's Agent can read that file and translate matching values into Warp's `settings.toml`.

## Use Warp's Agent to migrate your settings (recommended)

The fastest way to bring over your Ghostty setup is to ask Warp's Agent to translate your config directly. Warp ships a [`settings.toml` file](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/settings/) and a bundled `modify-settings` skill that lets the Agent read your existing config and write equivalent values into Warp's settings, including translating your Ghostty theme into a Warp [custom theme](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/appearance/custom-themes/).

1. In the Warp app, open a new tab and switch to [Agent Mode](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/agents/local-agents/interacting-with-agents/terminal-and-agent-modes/) with `⌘+I` (macOS) or `Ctrl+I` (Linux/Windows).
2. Paste this prompt into Agent Mode, then press `Enter`.

   > Read my Ghostty config at `~/.config/ghostty/config` and any referenced theme files in `~/.config/ghostty/themes/`. Port the equivalent settings (theme, font, keybindings, shell) into my Warp `settings.toml` using the `modify-settings` skill, and create a matching custom theme. Show me a diff before applying.

3. Review the proposed diff, then approve the changes. Warp hot-reloads `settings.toml`, so changes take effect immediately.

If you'd rather configure each setting manually through the Settings UI, the steps below cover the most common cases.

## What to reconfigure manually

### Theme and colors

1. In the Warp app, open **Settings** > **Appearance** > **Themes**.
2. Choose a built-in theme that matches your Ghostty setup, or [create a custom theme](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/appearance/custom-themes/) by translating your Ghostty colors into a YAML theme file.
3. If your Ghostty config references a custom theme, open the matching file in `~/.config/ghostty/themes/` and copy the foreground, background, and 16 ANSI color values.

### Font and text

1. In the Warp app, open **Settings** > **Appearance** > **Text, fonts, & cursor** and match your Ghostty `font-family` and `font-size` values.
2. If you use font ligatures, toggle **Ligatures** on.

### Keybindings

Warp's [default keyboard shortcuts](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/getting-started/keyboard-shortcuts/) cover most Ghostty bindings. For custom bindings from your Ghostty `keybind` lines, open **Settings** > **Keyboard shortcuts** in the Warp app and add them manually.

### Shell and prompt

Warp detects your login shell automatically. To override it, open **Settings** > **Features** > **Session** in the Warp app and choose a shell from **Startup shell for new sessions**.

For prompts, choose between Warp's [native prompt](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/appearance/prompt/#warp-prompt) (drag-and-drop context chips) or the [shell prompt (PS1)](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/appearance/prompt/#shell-prompt-ps1) if you want to keep your existing prompt configuration.

### Quick terminal (Quake mode)

In the Warp app, configure Warp's equivalent from **Settings** > **Features** > **Window** > **Global hotkey**. See [global hotkey](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/windows/global-hotkey/) for the full configuration.

## Warp-native equivalents

Use this table to find the closest Warp equivalent for Ghostty features you might look for after switching:

| From Ghostty | In Warp |
| --- | --- |
| Quick terminal / dropdown window | [Global hotkey](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/windows/global-hotkey/) |
| Native tabs and splits | [Tabs](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/windows/tabs/), [vertical tabs](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/windows/vertical-tabs/), [split panes](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/windows/split-panes/) |
| Command palette | [Command Palette](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/command-palette/) (`⌘+P` on macOS, `Ctrl+Shift+P` on Linux/Windows) |
| GPU-accelerated rendering | GPU-rendered natively on all supported platforms |
| Kitty graphics protocol | Image rendering for most common workflows (see [more features](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/more-features/)) |
| Shaders and custom visual effects | Not supported; closest: [size, opacity, and blurring](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/appearance/size-opacity-blurring/) + [pane dimming](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/terminal/appearance/pane-dimming/) |

Beyond parity, Warp adds [Agent Mode](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/agents/), [Code Review](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/code/code-review/), and [Warp Drive](https://funcoding.ai/agents/warp/knowledge-and-collaboration/warp-drive/) for AI-assisted development and team collaboration.
