Discrepancy about tabs

[huseyinbabal]

Hi all,
When I open a window and create tabs inside it, I expected to see only one instance when I right click on Ghosty in the dock. However, I see separate item for each tab. Additionally, when I try to close tab via Cmd+w, it prompts as "Close terminal", but actually I am about to close tab not entire terminal. So, am I missing some terminology in Ghosty?

Tabs (Not instances of Ghosty) in Dock

Prompt after CMD+w

what version?
I believe ctrl+opt+w is to close tab only on tip release of ghostty (not stable)

I am not using unstable version, I use 1.0.1 on Mac

And I can verify it is same for unstable version.

This prompt seems to be incorrect; I also get "Close Terminal" when I attempt to close a tab on Linux.

The prompt I get when I attempt to close the window appears to be different:

I think the reason for the discrepancy is that Ghostty uses macOS native tabs, which are really just fully-fledged windows smashed together into one object — see https://ghostty.org/docs/help/macos-tiling-wms. We couldn't really do anything about that other than rolling our own tabbing solution, which might happen eventually since native tabs are very buggy.

For the prompt, terminal = split = surface in this instance. There definitely should be a clean up of our terminology.
