bug#57866: [PATCH] Extend comint-osc-handlers to support OSC 2

[Matthias Meulien]

Tags: patch

The attached patch adds support for OSC 2 escape sequences in comint buffers.

To test one can update `frame-title-format' with something like:

(setq frame-title-format
      '("%b"
        (:eval
         (when (and
              comint-osc-window-title
              (not (string-empty-p comint-osc-window-title)))
             (concat " - " comint-osc-window-title)))
        (:eval
         (if multiple-frames
             ""
           (concat " - GNU Emacs at " system-name)))))

After M-x shell call a command (like flatpak-builder) that emits OSC 2
commands, the frame title is updated while the command runs.

Note that one is expected to extend Bash prompt command to print an OSC
2 command to clear the title:

set -x

osc_clear() {
  printf "\e]2;\e\\"
}

PROMPT_COMMAND=${PROMPT_COMMAND:+$PROMPT_COMMAND; }osc_clear

set +x
