PROFILE

Cj Van Den Berg

Over a two-month period, CJ contributed to the ghostty-org/ghostty repository by developing features that enhance both user experience and interface consistency. CJ implemented terminal color theming by propagating OSC10/11 codes, ensuring that foreground and background colors remain synchronized between the terminal and its UI. Additionally, CJ introduced color change notifications to improve feedback when themes are reset. In a separate update, CJ enabled back and forward navigation using mouse buttons 8 and 9, streamlining navigation for power users. These features were engineered in Zig, leveraging event-driven programming and system-level input processing to deliver cohesive, maintainable improvements without introducing bugs.
