I tried compiling on macOS Sequoia on Apple Silicon and when I execute edit it just displays a black screen and locks up my terminal window.

@nodesocket I have using MacOS with: Sequoia 15.5 and I can using this with Warp and iTerm2 (ZSH)

Successfully compiled and run but the proviso is you cannot follow compilation instructions without installing rust / rustup without using homebrew. This is a rust / rustup issue. The main issue on MacOS is you have to choose the correct ANSI colors in Terminal to effectively use edit.

Ahh indeed, switching from Ghostty which uses xterm-256color to iTerm which uses xterm worked.

[thomasmuders-imtf]

For me it works without issues both in iTerm and the standard Mac terminal, with TERM=xterm-256color. MacOS Sequoia 15.5.

You can get around this, brother. I bought my first Mac a couple of months ago and almost went nuts because of that. Finally figured it out.

Here you go -- this is from my .zshrc config:

if [[ -n "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]] && [[ "$TERM" == "xterm-ghostty" ]]; then
  export TERM="xterm-256color"
fi

# Remove annoying paste warning during SSH
unset zle_bracketed_paste

Now it is unneeded to tweak the colors in Terminal.app for displaying properly since macOS 26 finally makes it support 24-bit true-color.

Great news. Now all we need is the release.

You unfortunately need to compile it yourself. But it's not complicated, follow the instructions. Install rustup with homebrew and then you can compile it. Worked well for me.

when I launch edit from ghostty I get a blank screen until I resize the window, setting TERM=xterm doesn't help.. any ideas?

edit, it's a bug in ghostty #132

FYI, this is currently being worked on by @Zoobdude:

• https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/225837

The current blocker is fixing the automated test:

test do
  PTY.spawn(bin/"edit", "test.txt") do |r, w, pid|
    w.write "test data"
    sleep 1
    w.write "\u0011" # Ctrl+Q
    sleep 1
    w.write "\r" # Enter key to save
  rescue Errno::EIO
    # Expected error when PTY closes
  end
  assert_match "test data", (testpath/"test.txt").read
end

@cornradio You may try MacPorts.

[mattwaltbriggs]

MacOS 26 has been kind to Microsoft Edit.

[osalbahr]

It has been added to Homebrew!
