SetProfile esc code doesn't work - probably disabled.

[Piotr Kolasiński]

I try to change current profile by using ESC sequence 

When I first time run it - the question about access was displayed - but unfortunately I probably clicked "No".

Now when I try to send this sequence -m nothing happens.

Could someone tell  me how to enable this feature?  Or maybe some other reason exists why it doesn't work?

Additionally the description  is probably wrong - there are not semicolons between OSC 1337, SetProfile and \a, like in other cases.

1. Open Settings > Advanced (the gear icon, then the "Advanced" tab).

2. In the search box at the top, type "Prevent control sequences from changing the current profile".

3. Set that option to No.

You're right that it doesn't use semicolons as separators between the parts. The actual format is:

ESC ] 1337 ; SetProfile=ProfileName BEL

or written out: \033]1337;SetProfile=ProfileName\007

There is exactly one semicolon, the standard one right after 1337. After that it's a single key=value pair (SetProfile=ProfileName) terminated by BEL (\a) or ST (ESC \). So unlike OSC sequences that take multiple semicolon-separated arguments, this one has no internal semicolons. A quick test from the shell:

printf '\033]1337;SetProfile=Default\007'

Replace Default with the exact name of the profile you want to switch to.
