<p> <h3>Nomenclature & Command Types</h3>
Escape sequences can be divided based on their first character and structure. Most common types are:
</p>
<ul> <p>Examples on this help page use the following symbols for special characters and command types:
<li>CSI commands: <code>\e[</code> followed by 1 optional leading character, multiple numbers divided by (spaces are for clarity only, DO NOT include them in the commands!)</p>
semicolons, and one or two trailing characters. Those control the cursor, set attributes and manipulate screen content. E.g. <code>\e[?7;10h</code>, <code>\e[2J</code></li>
<li>SGR commands: CSI terminated by <code>m</code>. Those set text attributes and colors. E.g. <code>\e[</code></li> <table>
<li>OSC commands: <code>\e]</code> followed by any number of UTF-8 characters (ESPTerm supports up to 64) <thead><tr><th>Name</th><th>Symbol</th><th>ASCII</th><th>C string</th><th>Function</th></tr></thead>

<li>There are a few other commands that don't follow this pattern, such as <code>\e7</code> or <tr>

ESPTerm in the current version does not implement standard mouse input. Instead, clicks/taps produce CSI sequences ESPTerm implements standard mouse tracking schemes based on Xterm. Mouse tracking can be used to add
<code>\e[<i>r</i>;<i>c</i>M</code> (row, column). You can use this for virtual on-screen buttons. powerful user interactions such as on-screen buttons, draggable on-screen sliders or dials, menus etc.
