I genuinely appreciate these details and the clarification that I had overlooked.

I will now discuss this information with our project team to determine the best way to incorporate it. This includes considering presenting the idea to our management and potentially engaging a qualified third party to design a prototype. The goal would be to further develop these features beyond the initial stage, so that the PuTTY project team can seamlessly integrate them (ideally in the form of a ready-to-use patch).
