I know that Konsole supports an escape code like "\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=0\x7" that will change the cursor shape. I was wondering if any other terminal emulators support changing the cursor shape via an escape code?

The Linux VGA/framebuffer consoles use the Esc[?...c code.

xterm supports the VT520 sequence DECSCUSR Esc[... q since patch 282.

CL: Do you know of anything else besides xterm supporting the VT520 escape codes? – Zameer Manji Sep 30 '12 at 14:42
One would think that other terminals would want to be compatible with xterm, but I haven't found any that document this. – CL. Sep 30 '12 at 15:14
github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/pull/92 mentions that MinTTY/TeraTerm/RLogin support this too. – sendmoreinfo Jan 30 at 21:54
I'd give my left nut for Terminal.app to support this on OS X. – elliottcable Mar 10 at 5:07
