  • OSC 8 detection / support

    From Rob Swindell@1:103/705 to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Thu Feb 13 18:13:44 2025

    Clickable URIs/links in terminals is a standardized thing: https://github.com/Alhadis/OSC8-Adoption

    Detect that support (e.g. using ANSI cursor position request) and set a console flag for the session. Then allow custom strings when supported or use @-codes to do the special expansion when displaying URLs.

    Actually, reading the spec again, there is no way to detect if it's implemented. :(

    But on the plus side, it should also be transparent when the client doesn't support it (assuming the client isn't broken)
