Description
I have a profile which is used for SSH. When the connection is lost, I get a message saying the process has terminated and I am to press ENTER to restart. It's not always easy to spot this message, since it can appear at the top or middle of the screen (wherever the cursor happened to be). I propose that at this time (optionally) dim the entire window. This way it will be easier to notice the app termination and hit ENTER before continuing.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify how the optional dimming should be enabled and how it interacts with the process-terminated prompt; done means the entire window is visibly dimmed when the app terminates and the ENTER-to-restart flow remains usable.
