You mean if something changes in the buffer and that tab isn't focused, you want some kind of indicator? I like the idea.

Would be really useful!

That's how iTerm does it on mac for example:

I guess it should only appear if a newline has been printed, no need to show the indicator if a progress bar has progressed for example.

I've also got notes and prototypes in https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/7955#issuecomment-1303740796. Nothing that's ready to ship, but if someone was enterprising, we could probably whip that into a PR without too mich work ☺️
