Sure I'd be willing to look into it although it might end up being an Alpha 48 feature since I am pretty close to releasing A47 I think. Things have been mostly stable so I want to get a release out officially before I start making bigger changes again.
The biggest hurdle is probably that I don't have a Commodore or know too much about PETSCII. Its just something I never look into before as I don't think anyone has asked in the past. I would want a reliable way to test (maybe an emulator could be used since I don't have the hardware?) and one or two people who can test it as well to help provide some feedback.
