CSI u is a mechanism for reporting keystrokes that is more powerful than
the standard used in Unix.
The specification is detailed at:
http://www.leonerd.org.uk/hacks/fixterms/
The specification is implemented by iTerm2, which is a popular
GPL-licensed terminal for macOS:
https://iterm2.com/documentation-csiu.html
A variant of the specification is implemented by kitty, another
GPL-licensed terminal on Linux and macOS:
https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/#comprehensive-keyboard-handling-in-terminals
The GPL-licensed mintty terminal for Windows also has support:
https://github.com/mintty/mintty/wiki/Keycodes
Emacs contains code in xterm.el that can handle a subset of the possible
key combinations encoded to this specification, but not all of them.
For example, iTerm2 is able to send an encoding for Ctrl-Shift-n (aka
C-N),
but Emacs is unable to recognized the CSI u encoding for this key
combination.
My feature request is to implement full support for the encoding, so
that users using a supported terminal can send the full range of
key combinations to an Emacs running in a terminal.
