Description Christian Persch 2015-01-19 15:17:27 UTC 
xterm 314 adds OSC 6 as complement to OSC 5 (which we don't implement atm), which however is already in use by us (and OSX terminal before us) for a different purpose, namely set-current-file-uri (as complement to OSC 7 set-current-directory-uri).
Comment 1 Egmont Koblinger 2015-01-19 16:06:46 UTC 
Oops.  This sucks.

I think the best would be if xterm reverted this change, or went for a different escape.

Did you notify Thomas?  Shall I?
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2015-01-19 17:16:59 UTC 
You appear to have good working relations with him, so please do :-)
Comment 3 Egmont Koblinger 2015-01-19 23:37:27 UTC 
Thomas said he'll add another escape as a synonym for xterm's osc6, and if Apple released any official docs about their terminal he'd even consider deprecating his osc6 :)

Btw what's the point in Mac's osc6? Does it use it for anything? For what? Are there any apps supporting it? Any plans of us ever using it? Or is it just a placeholder for possible future enhancements?
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2015-01-20 09:15:24 UTC 
The only info I had on that was in the link in bug 675987 comment 9, https://superuser.com/questions/79972/set-the-title-of-the-terminal-window-to-the-current-directory/321733#321733 .
Comment 5 Egmont Koblinger 2015-03-03 14:37:17 UTC 
xterm-315 introduced OSC 106 as a synonym for its OSC 6.
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2018-03-27 17:55:57 UTC 
Nothing to do here on the vte side; and we've decided to not implement OSC 106.
Comment 7 Egmont Koblinger 2018-03-27 19:39:51 UTC 
> and we've decided to not implement OSC 106.

For the record: bug 722751.
