Sorry about this. We just recently added the Cmd-Delete shortcut intended as a force-delete shortcut but didn't know that it conflicts with a macOS text input shortcut, and there's a bug causing it to remain active while the terminal is in focus. It's already fixed in the next version which is being tested and will be released soon.

apple shipping a worse version of @orbstack is nice validation :) we have way lower memory usage and better integrations
honored to have coined the term 'machines' (not VMs) for this type of primitive
One of my personal favorite features announced at WWDC will I suspect be a sleeper hit: container machines, allowing your Mac to run a lightweight, persistent Linux environment with your home directory and repos automatically mounted: github.com/apple/container/b…
orbstack x ghostty!
Yeah! @OrbStack 2.0 embedded Ghostty as their built-in terminal (via libghostty). If you use OrbStack, you're now also using Ghostty. So cool to see this. I think we'll only see more of this when libghostty stabilizes and gets packaged properly.
are you hard-coding IPs of orbstack machines? if so, switch to using orb.local domains. the default IP ranges changed in 2.0

Claude is really good at uninstalling stuff.
Bye Docker, hello @OrbStack

I have been using @OrbStack for more than a month now, and it is a perfect replacement for the Docker Desktop.
It's extremely lightweight and can create VMs along with containers.
.local is supposed to be handled by macOS (mDNSResponder), and that's necessary for OrbStack domains to work. I'd recommend removing the dnsmasq as it could cause issues with other apps too.
You can also choose not to use orb.local domains; port forwards and IPs are supported.
