I was hoping to see a more modern alternative to the VTE terminal protocol and its derivatives. Does anybody have any good suggestions and possible implementations?
The intention is to document them well enough that other terminal emulators can implement them (which some have).
Among those is a graphics protocol, which is actually (optionally) used by chafa. Another is a keyboard protocol extension: which has been implemented by a number of editors and other terminals: notably neovim, kakoune, helix, wezterm, and foot.
