Screen readers announce them with labels such as \"needs you:\" and \"working:\". A new server-controlled switch is read as well.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese look like pieces of a way to show at a glance which sessions are busy and which are waiting on you.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
