Quick Terminal: Add global macOS keyboard shortcut without asking Accessibility permission

[zhangtai]

In my work laptop I can't set the global shortcut to trigger the Quick Terminal because it is asking permission for Accessibility but I can't grant due to lacking admin account.

However I found kitty is able to register itself into the "Service" catalog, so I can just assign shortcut to it in the system without admin permission. Can you please review and suggest if this is possible in Ghostty? Thanks!~

In kitty, run the above command to show the quick access window, then close it by running the command again or pressing ctrl+d. Now go to System Preferences->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts->Services->General and set a shortcut for the Quick access to kitty entry.

Just chiming in that Kitty's code is GPL licensed, so the maintainers can't really use any of their code as reference due to licensing conflicts, but this is a valid question about the possibility of adding similar functionality, if maintainers are interested & have time
