Terminfo differences that aren't really handled in terminfo include:
- Precise mechanisms of setaf/setbf
- Whether ANSI 39 "Default foreground color" / ANSI 49 "Default background color" can be used distinctly (you just get op, often defined as op=\E[39;49m
- Strikethrough (sgr 9)
- Kitty's weird replacement of RGB matching the default background color
- Ordering of x/y coordinates when retrieving cursor location
Some things I'd like to see added:
- A string which can match the terminal's reply to XTVERSION, to test whether we've got a terminfo database which doesn't correspond to the terminal we're actually using.
