OSC catalog

Every OSC selector TDN knows about, in numeric order, with its origin and the page that documents it. The selector space has no registry; xterm's ctlseqs is the closest thing to one, and the numbers above 100 that are not resets were chosen by individual vendors, sometimes colliding.

Status uses the conventions vocabulary. "Origin" names the document that first defined the selector, which is not always the emulator most associated with it today.

Collisions

• OSC 6 means "current document" to Apple Terminal and "enable special color" to xterm. Neither reads the other's syntax successfully; emulators pick one.
• OSC 9 is an iTerm2 notification unless the first field is a small integer followed by ;, which is ConEmu syntax. Windows Terminal and WezTerm implement the ConEmu subset; kitty and iTerm2 the notification.
• OSC 22 in xterm is the pointer shape; older mintty releases used 22 for something else and now follow xterm.
• Every selector from a single vendor above 1000 (1337, 7704, 777x, 9001) was chosen to avoid collision by being unlikely; there is no coordination.

Not documented

Rows marked "not documented" are selectors an emulator implements that TDN has no page for. They are listed so a parser author knows the number is taken. A page is warranted when a second emulator adopts one.
