This is the whole truth: <http://www.xfree86.org/current/ctlseqs.html>.

Be aware that there are a lot of terminal programs (xterm, KDE,
Gnome, Xfce4, aterm, wterm, ...) and not everything is implemented
everywhere.

If you like to track what escape sequences some programs write
you can use the script command.
