  1. iterm2

    [0] https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/10994 the discussion in there makes it seem like it's okay because many schemes that aren't http[s] cause the browser to open a dialog box

    Features of iTerm2 I use:

      - fullscreen without using MacOS's spaces implementation of fullscreen

  3. skopeo

    Work with remote images registries - retrieving information, images, signing content

  4. coreutils

    upstream mirror (by coreutils)

    AFAIK, the remote applications simply do an isatty() check on the stdout and that's it; a proper terminal is then apparently expected to correctly skip and quietly ignore any OSC sequence it does not understand. See the source of ls [0], for example.
