+In modern development workflows, terminal commands are often long,

+package.json files or internal documentation, forcing developers to spend

+ShellBar solves this by centralizing your most frequently used commands
+into a dedicated action bar within the shell, turning them into instant,
+one-click shortcuts.
+
+This becomes especially powerful in monorepos or multi-environment
+projects (local, staging, production), as well as setups that vary by
+platform (web, desktop, mobile). Instead of repeatedly consulting
+documentation or navigating through scripts, developers can immediately
+trigger the right workflow.

+The result is a more focused, efficient, and productive environment where
+operational friction is reduced, allowing developers to concentrate on

-(`libghostty-vt`), with a configurable toolbar that lets you launch
-commands with a single click. It's designed for developers who want a

-**ShellBar is NOT a fork of Ghostty.** It uses `libghostty-vt` as a
-library via CMake `FetchContent` — no patches, no upstream modifications,
-no merge conflicts. This keeps the project independent, lightweight, and
