Description of the new feature/enhancement

image

TUI editors like vim have support for alternate font highlighting using CSI SGR 10-20. Few terminal emulators in linux currently support this, and it would be great to have it in Windows Terminal because Windows really doesn't have many emulator options

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

This is already tracked in issue #6779. But thanks for the vim reference. It's helpful to know that there is actually someone making use of this functionality.

While not having this feature integrated wouldn't be catastrophic, it would be slick to have some extras in terminal emulators, especially for people who use terminal editors. However, I don't foresee it coming to windows terminal anytime soon, as it may not be widely used by many people.
