Also, the xterm-color (Konsole) tput colors only reports 8 even if that terminal is fully capable of presenting 16 million colors (and all 256 colors, of course). And no, no tmux or screen that may "color" :-) (change that is) the results (I was aware of that detail). In short: your code may fail in some terminal/consoles. | |

| Mar 11, 2016 at 19:22 | history | edited | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | CC BY-SA 3.0 | might as well show a way that works in bash; add a timeout to make this more robust on terminals that don't support the escape sequence |
