TTE: Terminal Text Effects
> (There’s precisely one thing like this I’m aware of terminal emulators adding in recent memory: clickable links, ca. six years ago.)
And they are often disabled by default, as a potential security risk. We don't get to have fun things, do we? (also worth read: CVE-2003-0063, abusing escape seq is unfortunately a valid concern against adding more stuff).
On other hand, more and more emulators are adding support for various graphic protocols (sixel, iTerm2 format, kitty format).
> I’ve been waiting for one or more terminal emulators to get together and add some ridiculous new escape codes[...]
Well, it's not much, but mintty apparently has some interesting stuff like audio support[0], and codes for font size and font family[1][2].
iTerm2 also has a bunch of custom escape sequences of varying level of usefulness starting from displaying fireworks animation on cursor position to sending system notifications (although sadly I could not get the last one to work for me).
For some semblance of forms, you can check bubbles[4] and gum[5] (binary to easily incorporate the components into shell scripts).

Install Tmux on Git for Windows
Since you have updated the files in the running Git Bash session, you will need to close the Git Bash prompt and open a new session. (Note: Tmux only works with the MinTTY version of Git Bash (git-bash.exe). If you usually use the native bash.exe or git-cmd.exe Git prompts, you'll get the error open terminal failed: not a terminal when trying to run Tmux.)
