Description

Guacamole's terminal emulator is currently compatible with the Linux console, and thus implements a small but reasonable set of console codes. However, as the xterm terminal emulator is essentially the defacto standard for graphical terminal emulators, we should aim higher.

Though this is a rather large task, support for sets of xterm console codes can be added gradually until we obtain full compatibility.
