(self-reply) This is basically the Microsoft Word bloat problem. NOBODY needs all the features, but everyone has 10 niche features they want, and nobody wants the same 10. So to get 10 niche features, you accept bloat.

That sounds incredible, is there any terminal that supports it on Linux?

Meanwhile zellij just supports this natively if your terminal supports the right OSC thingy. Which it does if you're in this thread.

edit: rough, my bad. missed the via "in irc" part.

Reread my comment.

Yes 100%. This is a superb UI/UX feature once you see it in action.

i've been using iterm for... years and had never noticed this setting. Which is a killer feature for my use of emacs.

thanks!
