+- `cmd+t` new tab, `cmd+w` close surface
+- `cmd+shift+[` previous tab, `cmd+shift+]` next tab
+- `cmd+d` split right, `cmd+shift+d` split down
+- `cmd+alt+arrow` move focus across splits

+- `alt+left/right` word movement
+- `cmd+left/right` line start/end
+- `alt+backspace` delete previous word
+- `cmd+backspace` delete to line start
+- `cmd+delete` delete next word

+# Ghostty Linux macOS-like Keybinds
+
+Date: 2026-02-20
+Task: Add Linux-only Home Manager Ghostty keybindings that mimic macOS defaults for tab/split management, clipboard actions, and text navigation/editing.
+
+## Work Breakdown
+
+1. Reviewed project Nix conventions in `.agents/skills/nix/SKILL.md`.
+2. Located existing Ghostty module in `nix/modules/ghostty.nix`.
+3. Retrieved Ghostty keybinding docs and action reference from ghostty.org to verify syntax and action names.
+4. Added Linux-gated keybindings under `programs.ghostty.settings` using `lib.mkIf pkgs.stdenv.isLinux`.
+
+## Decisions and Reasoning
+
+- Kept configuration in the existing Ghostty Home Manager module to preserve one-file responsibility.
+- Scoped keybindings to Linux only so Darwin behavior remains native/unmodified.
+- Used `cmd` modifier in bindings to mirror macOS muscle memory on Linux (mapped to Super).
+- Included tab traversal mappings (`cmd+shift+[`, `cmd+shift+]`) alongside tab creation/close.
+- Used terminal-safe escape/control sequences for word and line navigation/editing:
+  - `alt+left/right` -> `esc:b` / `esc:f`
+  - `cmd+left/right` -> `Ctrl-A` / `Ctrl-E`
+  - `alt+backspace`, `cmd+backspace`, `cmd+delete` for common shell text edits.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Existing package gating (`package = if pkgs.stdenv.isDarwin then null else pkgs.ghostty`) remains unchanged.
+- Added concise documentation at `docs/ghostty.md`.
+- No formatting/lint/test command run in this step.
