PROFILE

David Keegan

During July 2025, David Keegan developed a configurable behavior for folder drops on the macOS Dock in the ghostty-org/ghostty repository, allowing users to specify whether dropped folders open in a new tab or a new window. He implemented this feature by introducing the macos-dock-drop-folder-behavior configuration option and integrating it into the existing configuration management system. Using Swift and Zig, David ensured the solution aligned with macOS development best practices and supported future extensibility for OS-specific behaviors. This work enhanced user customization, streamlined dock-based workflows, and laid the groundwork for additional platform-specific features within the Ghostty application.
