Vimscript-equivalence?

[egberts]

Is there going to be a vim script equivalence to this?

[rocky]

Depends if someone is up for writing it. Hey, how about you?

(I use GNU Emacs)

It's a battle. Some think that ANSI Operating System Command (OSC) should be exchanged below the terminal at VTE-level; other thinks, it should be at application-level doing side-checking with window-manager or OS directly.

No clear winner there.

No clear winner there.

Suggestion: pick whichever one you prefer, and do it.

If it happens to piss off someone in the other camp suficiently, then maybe that person can come up with the other solution and there can be a flag that suggests which method (or both) should be tried. And if it doesn't piss off the other half sufficently, that's good too.

At the moment, there's documented efforts to get many other terminal authors on board to using certain subsets of OSC (Esc-]), but not all. The VTE and libvte got the biggest traction (which has the most number of terminal programs). Apple isn't on board yet. Nor is BSD.

Sticking point is 'paste', do we want terminal program to perform auto-paste in response to what they see? (Imagine executing rm -rf / <enter> just by reading a certain file, escaped OSC-style)?
