Description
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
- OS version and name: macOS 13.2
- Hyper.app version: V3.4.1
- The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes
Issue
The ANSI Escape Code for an audible beep (Bell Code) does not work with Hyper on macOS. It is working with macOS's native Terminal.app. To test it: echo -ne "\007"
It seems like Hyper does not support many default ANSI Escape Codes, including the text blinking style (#6992). Is it planned to support more ANSI Escape Codes in the future? Especially blinking and beeps are very basic functionalities, that should not be missing.
I'm using zsh. It also doesn't work with sh/bash.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in vanilla Hyper on macOS with echo -ne "\007", comparing its behavior with Terminal.app. Then trace Hyper's ANSI escape-code handling and determine where the audible bell is omitted. Done means the documented test command produces an audible beep in Hyper; support for blinking and other codes may require separate scope clarification.
