Escape sequences - current state of support #2

Open pzmarzly opened 4 weeks ago

Does ht interpret ANSI escape codes? There are many protocols that I think ht could interpret and transform into JSON messages. Or if not, then explicitly forward them further over getView API (or a new getUnsanitizedView / getRawView).

Some protocols that are somewhat important for modern terminal experience:

colors,
clickable links,
mouse integration,
clipboard copy/paste,
setting title and cwd

Yeah, @ku1ik and I have discussed this this as a future feature to add. Agree that supporting this will be useful!
