Terminal protocol extensions
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
|kitty| has extensions to the legacy terminal protocol, to enable advanced
|
|
features. These are typically in the form of new or re-purposed escape codes.
|
|
While these extensions are currently |kitty| specific, it would be nice to get
|
|
some of them adopted more broadly, to push the state of terminal emulators
|
|
forward.
|
|
|
|
The goal of these extensions is to be as small and unobtrusive as possible,
|
|
while filling in some gaps in the existing xterm protocol. In particular, one of
|
|
the goals of this specification is explicitly not to "re-imagine" the TTY. The
|
|
TTY should remain what it is -- a device for efficiently processing text
|
|
received as a simple byte stream. Another objective is to only move the minimum
|
|
possible amount of extra functionality into the terminal program itself. This is
|
|
to make it as easy to implement these protocol extensions as possible, thereby
|
|
hopefully encouraging their widespread adoption.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to discuss these extensions, propose additions or changes to them,
|
|
please do so by opening issues in the `GitHub bug tracker
|
|
<https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues>`__.
