Escape Sequence Support

This list includes all escape sequences Alacritty currently supports.

Legend

The available statuses are PARTIAL, IMPLEMENTED and REJECTED. While a status of PARTIAL means there is still work left to be done, a status of IMPLEMENTED for something partially implemented means all other features were rejected.

All whitespace in escape sequences is solely for formatting purposes and all relevant spaces are denoted as SP. The escape parameters are omitted for brevity.
