Description
I'd find blocking send command functionality useful. So far I've tried waiting for the window title to change back to the shell, waiting for the shell prompt to appear, and waiting for the cursor to move to a new position / the size of the scrollback buffer to increase by a certain amount. Any thoughts on how this could be implemented?
