I really would like to have:
* text folding (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/issues/3 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/..., https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52812618/ansi-escape-sequence-for-collapsing-folding-text-maybe-hierarchically https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52812618/ansi-escape-seq...)
* graphics (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/issues/12 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/-/...)
I wonder a bit why all those next-gen (often HTML-based) terminal attempts have not been successful (e.g. TermKit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30517205 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30517205). Probably because SSH/Mosh/Tmux concepts are difficult to take over there, and those are somewhat crucial. And text folding or graphics also would have issues w.r.t. those (see also the linked discussions).
DomTerm (https://domterm.org https://domterm.org) supports both those features, but it does not work with Mosh+Tmux, which is my main use case.
