        OSC 8 adoption in terminal emulators

====================================

This document tracks in-the-wild support for terminal hyperlinks (a.k.a., [OSC 8](https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda)), primarily amongst [terminal emulators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terminal_emulators).

Testing support

---------------

To determine if your terminal emulator supports hyperlinks, run the following command:

```sh

printf '\033]8;;http://example.com\033\\This is a link\033]8;;\033\\\n'

```

In an OSC 8-compatible terminal, you should see something to the effect of:

> This is a link

[^1]: Use VTE 0.50.4, 0.52.2, or newer to avoid a rare crash.

[^2]: Refers to the "Terminator" program written in Python for Linux, based on GTK+. Not to be confused with the one written in Java [bearing the same name](https://code.google.com/archive/p/jessies/wikis/Terminator.wiki).

[^3]: Requires user to add `set -ga terminal-features "*:hyperlinks"` to their tmux config
