Using this escape sequence:
printf "\x1b]9;4;1;70\a"Sets the progress to 70% for example.

printf "\x1b]9;4;0\a"I discovered it with neovim using it to show progress of updating plugins with vim.pack
The feature is called OSC 9;4 if you want to get more info about it.

Need to remember it. Let's test the bookmark feature for the first time!
Seems to work in vte terminals (gnome-terminal & ptyxis), but it was a little bit fiddly. I had to use
echo -ne "\e]9;4;1;75\e\\"State 3, the indeterminate/pulsing state doesn't seem to be implemented though.

echo -ne "\e]9;4;1;75\e\\"Hm, I wonder why you are using \e\\ in the end? According to various sources it should be BEL so \a?
UPDATE:
Oh, it also supports ESC there. BEL didn't work for you?
