Drag and drop support for URLs

[HakonHarnes]

Description

Ghostty currently supports drag and drop for files (e.g., from Finder), but URLs dragged from browsers like Safari do not work as expected. When dragging a URL, the cursor changes to “+”, but nothing is pasted into the terminal.

Expanding drag-and-drop support for URLs would align Ghostty with common terminal behavior and unlock additional use cases. Here's an overview of other terminal emulators' drag and drop capabilities.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Ghostty.
2. Drag a URL (e.g., an image link) from Safari into the terminal.
3. Observe that the “+” cursor appears, but no action occurs.

Expected behavior

Dragged URLs should be pasted into the terminal, similar to how file paths are handled.

Demonstration

drag-and-drop.mov

Apple Terminal (top) vs. Ghostty (bottom). Observe that the URL is pasted in Apple Terminal but not in Ghostty.

Environment

• MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1
• Ghostty 0.1.0-main+ae2cf8dc
• Safari 18.1.1 (20619.2.8.11.12)

I'd also love this for files drag'n dropped from my file manager. Konsole and Kitty also allow this.
