 ### Fixed
 
 - Fixed IME hardware cursor positioning in the custom extension editor (`ctx.ui.editor()` / extension editor dialog) by propagating focus to the internal `Editor`, preventing the terminal cursor from getting stuck at the bottom-right during composition.
+- Added OSC 133 semantic zone markers around rendered user messages to support terminal navigation between prompts in iTerm2, WezTerm, Kitty, Ghostty, and other compatible terminals ([#1805](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1805))

 - Fixed TUI width calculation for regional indicator symbols (e.g. partial flag sequences like `🇨` during streaming) to prevent wrap drift and stale character artifacts in differential rendering.
 - Fixed Kitty CSI-u handling to ignore unsupported modifiers so modifier-only events do not insert stray printable characters ([#1807](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1807))
 - Fixed single-line paste performance by inserting pasted text atomically instead of character-by-character, preventing repeated `@` autocomplete scans during paste ([#1812](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1812))
+- Fixed `visibleWidth()` to ignore generic OSC escape sequences (including OSC 133 semantic prompt markers), preventing width drift when terminals emit semantic zone markers ([#1805](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/issues/1805))
