This sounds kinda like a commandline ask, but not necessarily a Terminal ask. I don't think it's a bad idea, but it's also not necessarily home on this repo. However, I'm not sure there is a better home for this. This set of asks kinda fits with colortool if you ask me - things that improve the commandline experience on Windows that we track as a part of this repo. |
This might be a good idea for powertoys, like new commandline tool / powershell module to show toast messages, manipulate windows or what not. |
That kind of misses the point. The strength of this feature set is to allow CLI tool/library developers to provide a richer experience to their users by integrating with engaging OS features. |
Then I guess you can always call Windows APIs in said CLI tool/library, rundll32.exe can also be useful sometimes. |
So as much as a VT sequence could work in this scenario, I think a separate standalone commandline application for sending a notification might be a better solution for at least the sending a notification bit here. That way, we wouldn't need to rely on the Windows Terminal handling that VT sequence - users using any terminal on Windows could still send notifications from the commandline by calling that standalone exe. That's my 2c on the matter at least. |
Would be nice if commands that are done in background (when other app is active and terminal works, e.g. on |
More integration with Windows features
