- 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>`__.
