Hello,
Graphical terminal emulator have a useful specific feature that other do not
have: the window title. But here again, they use different control sequence to
access to it. I think this makes this feature a good candidate for terminfo,
but there exist no capability related to ???window title???.
Fortunately, the graphical terminal emulator often miss another feature, the
status line, which has a function very close to the window title. In fact the
The status capabilities are documented (and standardized) to use a
parameter (the starting column at which to begin writing).
xterm's title control sequence doesn't honor that parameter.
Therefore any use of that would have to be via an extension entry.
