Show progress bars on tabs
# Feature Request ## Summary I'd like to add OSC 9;4 progress bars to tabs instead of the session window. Especially when working with multiple coding agents it's very helpful to see which tabs are actively working and which ones are finished. I had an agent [build a PoC](https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/pull/645/changes) you can see in the attachments. It simply reuses the existing ProgressBar that was already present and adds it to the respective tab. ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-04-08 um 10.51.43.png](/uploads/82405299371482b03eeb164d1fda4647/Bildschirmfoto_2026-04-08_um_10.51.43.png){width="900" height="578"} ![Bildschirmfoto 2026-04-08 um 10.51.57.png](/uploads/b7721d345b7fd4c327f139f8629a46c9/Bildschirmfoto_2026-04-08_um_10.51.57.png){width="900" height="474"} ## Alternatives \- ## Concerns * It will add complexity because it will need a new setting to switch between showing progress bars on tabs vs session view. * If only one tab is opened there is no place for the progress bar to appear, so it would need to be shown in session view again. ---
