       I had a request for #procps watch to support OSC 8 escape sequences, these will give a link in a text screen. At the moment, they'll appear something like ^]e8;blahThe issue is watch uses #ncurses and I'm pretty sure that doesn't support OSC 8 so I'm left with having to just strip out the escape sequences and URL possibly.

       It's the same issue with supporting large numbers of colours; #ncurses just doesn't do anything much beyond the ANSI colours.The solution to both is to drop one level down and use the tinfo library, the main issue with that is ncurses "remembers" where characters are so updates and marking changes are easier, tinfo doesn't.
