MacOS Zoom Accessibility Support

[Acrylic125]

I rely on magnifying tools to do my work due to me being visually impaired. I primarily work on MacOS so I use the inbuilt Zoom Accessibility feature.

One of the key features of this tool is to follow my text cursor. This is incredibly useful for my terminal based workflows (including using neovim) since I only need to type on my keyboard without having to move my mouse to focus in on the parts I am typing.

Unfortunately, unlike other terminals like Mac's inbuilt terminal and iTerm, the default Ghostty setup does not seem to provide such support.

Any workarounds to support this use case?

Is this the same as relying on cmd + + to zoom in? that's what I rely on to change the size of the font in the terminal and noticed it doesn't work in Ghostty

Nope, it is different!

if enabled, the default hotkey is CMD + Opt + +/-. It zooms in your entire screen without affecting the zoom state of the app. https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/mac-help/mchl779716b8/mac

Anyways, CMD + +/- works for me tho on a clean install of Ghostty.
