Fixed with the merge of #63 in 9170bfd7. Thanks @kylecarbs!

Nothing specific really, just that it would be nice if it visually was similar to Ghostty's own split support. But since boo is useable in any terminal emulator that doesn't necessarily made sense. So any design you come up with will work, I'm sure.

libghostty does not provide this, but it wouldn't be particularly difficult to add.

Could you expand on the desired UX here? I'm not opposed to adding splits, but it would need to be in a simple way.

I'll get the build to be more portable. I'm happy you're enjoying Boo!

After spending some effort getting a machine running macOS sequoia usable, it turns out I just ran into #62 again. Building an older Zig version without homebrew, on a platform I don't really use, is a path I will not follow.

I did verify that the values of `std.c.T.`{`IOCGWINSZ`, `IOCSWINSZ` and `IOCSCTTY`} are indeed `0x40087468`, `0x80087467` and `0x20007461` respectively and thus pushed #63.
