06:08 <krobelus> I wonder how to query for OSC 52 paste support, it seems like some client implementations use a timeout instead (to fail gracefully if a terminal doesn't support it)

06:17 <dnkl> check the Ms terminfo capability?

06:23 <krobelus> dnkl: ok thanks, I see that one is documented at https://invisible-island.net/xterm/terminfo.html

06:24 <krobelus> it might be better not to rely on terminfo (because it could be misconfigured) but it should work in most cases

06:24 <krobelus> is there a way to query terminfo capabilities by directly asking the terminal (without looking at a terminfo database)

06:38 <dnkl> sort of. it's fairly new, and not supported by many terminals

06:39 <dnkl> xterm implements a limited version, kitty a slighty less limited version, and foot allows access to the entire terminfo

06:39 <dnkl> not sure about others

06:40 <dnkl> search for XTEGTTCAP

06:40 <dnkl> XTGETTCAP

06:40 <dnkl> there's an example client in foot's sources

06:51 <dnkl> some info here as well

06:51 <dnkl> https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot/src/branch/master/README.md#xtgettcap

06:52 <dnkl> (info on other terminals may be outdated)

06:52 <krobelus> awesome. I'm not an expert but this seems like a sane way forward

14:50 <rockorager> dnkl: re: your response awhile back to sixels and kitty graphics. what would you think about a “kitty lite” protocol? I agree that it is bloated when it comes to timing controls, etc. but the base protocol (transfer, display) are pretty good IMO
