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.

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.
