Which terminal control/escape sequences need to be supported?

[davidanthoff]

ProgressMeter used in the native VS Code Julia notebook does not look good because it just prints new bars on new lines. Essentially neither the escape sequences nor the IJulia workaround work in the VS Code native notebook solution.

I think the VS Code folks are considering supporting at least some escape sequences in the notebook rendering, which of course would be ideal. They asked me which ones we would need. Am I right that it is essentially ESC [K, ESC [An (where n is a number) and ESC [A and then we would be good? And support for \r I guess? Anything else?

Friendly bump. As of now ProgressMeter is unusable in vscode Jupyter notebooks because of this.

Those indeed cover our apparent needs. Thanks for helping with this.

Is there an issue opened in IJulia for this ? offsets don't work because of it (#238)

@davidanthoff Do you know if has been any update on this? Is there an issue on VS Code where this is tracked?

Replying to myself, I think the VS Code issue is this one: microsoft/vscode#118833
