I second this question. Perhaps there will only be support for vt100/vt220?

- lokedhs 8y agoThat would be sad, as there is already far too much software out there that hard-codes escape sequences, completely ignoring the TERM environment variable. Even worse, sometimes they won't even disable escape codes when they should not be displayed. I've posted bug reports for very popular software packages whose commandline always output vt102, even when TERM is set to dumb or when run through pipes. That makes grepping for error messages somewhat annoying. In at least some cases these reports were ignored.
