Now it is possible by using -e /bin/sh -c.
- Now that glyphs can be modified it is obviously a suboptimal method.
General font loading could work, it may be worth checking older standard

- Eventually provide a way to query terminal specific settings that can be
altered using sequences and develop a live configuration utility that can
also store settings.
- The custom ATC sequences code is messy especially because of the
- indentation. Eventually cleanup.
-- Now that blinking speed can be configured via a special ATC sequence,

- block cursor.

- On RPI when omxplayer is launched directly from analogterm2 and bash, it
does not behave exactly like under xterm or urxvt: keys sent to omxplayer
may either still be sent to analogterm2 or the terminal may be in another

- Verify if dead key support is incomplete for ISO-8859-4 and ISO-8859-10.
There were special characters that were unicode since the start but also
could have punctuation. And others that used two at a time... It might
from the X11 window/user and from applications, but we don't really want the
user to have to type those. Another idea may be a signature CSI parameter
but that too is inconvenient for users without a tool.
-- Maybe support a configuration menu, possibly using curses.

- Alt/Meta now sends ESC, but it's unsure yet if that will work properly
on most systems. The old XScreenSaver based AnalogTerm code was more
complex to detect what keys were meta using X11 mapping functions.
- Full screen refresh
- We should probably avoid reallocating everything while the window is being
resized and thus perhaps disable refresh during resize until it's done...
-- Optional multicolor (7/14) support.
-- Will be interesting to work on decent text cursors.
+- Optional half-bright in color mode (14 vs 7) support.
+- Perhaps allow more configurable cursors, like some based on custom shapes,
+ glyphs or not using XOR. Underline/bar/block are supported already.
- C cedilla characters look strange. These could be improved if the font was
eventually one pixel wider vertically.
- Maybe detect and record ourselves shift/ctrl to avoid using the
key mappings that present themselves with shift/ctrl always
pressed.
- Maybe eventual support for a completely retro-like vector custom font.
-- Perhaps consider xvideo hardware scaling support
- 2.5 vertical zooming vs 2, an alternative to play with the character ratio.
- Set ERASE. If automatically detecting it from terminfo, there's the mess of
using either BSD terminfo or ncurses', and on Linux systems the
sets ERASE to ^?, it still issues ^H meaning that ERASE really must be ^H.
This supposes that the terminal should also send the key that corresponds to
the TERM entry. Or that it should simply keep issuing ^H for the BackSpace
- key, keep setting ^H for ERASE and it's solved. Except perhaps with some
+ key, keep setting ^H for ERASE and it's solved. Except with some
particular applications that'd expect ^? or use the kbs entry, perhaps.
- Perhaps reserve a status line at the top or bottom and use it for various
state information, maybe even some optional effects.
than vttest.
- Maybe include ffmpeg recording as part of analogterm. This would be easier
of already supporting YUV internally for xvideo(4).
-- Maybe consider xvideo(4) zooming. If YUV was native, it'd be useful for xvideo

- Maybe an alternative VT52 or ADM-3A emulation mode for use with old CP/M
systems and emulators.
- Maybe make a telnet+modem emulator mode. This would be like telnet and
modemu, interpreting some AT commands, or directly connected to a real modem
as a terminal rather than for a shell...
+- Some unicode characters are double-width. This is not currently supported.
