In addition to that, kitty keyboard protocol will be nice to have: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol.html

@vlisivka Do you have an idea of how many libraries or applications actually support kitty's keyboard protocol?

vlisivka commented 3 years ago

@sedwards2009 About 1, my guess. It's quite new, but long awaited feature.

vlisivka commented 3 years ago

To clarify, kitty keyboard protocol is based on fixterms protocol proposed above:

The new protocol has been implemented in master and will be in the next kitty release. The spec for the protocol is: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol.html The new escape code is based on the proposal in http://www.leonerd.org.uk/hacks/fixterms/ however, it is more general and fixes various bugs in that proposal.

Xterm's modifyOtherKeys is supported by vim, Emacs, and iTerm2, mintty, at least.
