Definitions
|
|
|
|
c The literal character c.
|
|
|
|
C A single (required) character.
|
|
|
|
Ps A single (usually optional) numeric parameter, composed of one of
|
|
more digits.
|
|
|
|
Pm A multiple numeric parameter composed of any number of single
|
|
numeric parameters, separated by ; character(s). Individual val-
|
|
ues for the parameters are listed with Ps .
|
|
|
|
Pt A text parameter composed of printable characters.
|
|
|
|
C1 (8-Bit) Control Characters
|
|
|
|
The xterm program recognizes both 8-bit and 7-bit control characters.
|
|
It generates 7-bit controls (by default) or 8-bit if S8C1T is enabled.
|
|
The following pairs of 7-bit and 8-bit control characters are equiva-
|
|
lent:
|
|
|
|
ESC D
|
|
Index (IND is 0x84)
|
|
ESC E
|
|
Next Line (NEL is 0x85)
|
|
ESC H
|
|
Tab Set (HTS is 0x88)
|
|
ESC M
|
|
Reverse Index (RI is 0x8d)
|
|
ESC N
|
|
Single Shift Select of G2 Character Set (SS2 is 0x8e): affects
|
|
next character only
|
|
ESC O
|
|
Single Shift Select of G3 Character Set (SS3 is 0x8f): affects
|
|
next character only
|
|
ESC P
|
|

|
|
ESC V
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
|
|
These control characters are used in the vtXXX emulation.
|
|
|
|
VT100 Mode
|
|
Most of these control sequences are standard VT102 control sequences,
|
|
but there is support for later DEC VT terminals (i.e., VT220, VT320,
|
|
VT420), as well as ISO 6429 and aixterm color controls. The only VT102
|
|
features not supported is auto-repeat, since the only way X provides for
|
|
this will affect all windows. There are additional control sequences to
|
|
provide xterm-dependent functions, such as the scrollbar or window size.
|
|
Where the function is specified by DEC or ISO 6429, the code assigned to
|
|
it is given in parentheses. The escape codes to designate and invoke
|
|
character sets are specified by ISO 2022; see that document for a dis-
|
|
cussion of character sets.
|
|
|
|

Application Program-Control functions
|
|
APC Pt ST xterm implements no APC functions; Pt is ignored. Pt
|
|
need not be printable characters.
|
|
|
|
Device-Control functions
|
|
DCS Ps; Ps| Pt ST
|
|
User-Defined Keys (DECUDK). The first parameter:
|
|
Ps = 0 -> Clear all UDK definitions before starting
|
|
(default)
|
|
Ps = 1 -> Erase Below (default)
|
|
The second parameter:
|
|
Ps = 0 -> Lock the keys (default)
|
|
Ps = 1 -> Do not lock.
|
|
The third parameter is a ';'-separated list of strings
|
|
denoting the key-code separated by a '/' from the hex-
|
|
encoded key value. The key codes correspond to the DEC
|
|
function-key codes (e.g., F6=17).
|
|
DCS $ q Pt ST Request Status String (DECRQSS). The string following
|
|
the "q" is one of the following:
|
|
" q -> DECSCA
|
|
" p -> DECSCL
|
|
r -> DECSTBM
|
|
m -> SGR
|
|
xterm responds with DCS 1 $ r Pt ST for valid requests,
|
|
replacing the Pt with the corresponding CSI string, or
|
|
DCS 0 $ r Pt ST for invalid requests.
|
|
DCS + q Pt ST Request Termcap/Terminfo String (xterm, experimental).
|
|
The string following the "q" is a list of names encoded
|
|
in hexadecimal (2 digits per character) separated by ;
|
|
which correspond to termcap or terminfo key names.
|
|
xterm responds with DCS 1 + r Pt ST for valid requests,
|
|
adding to Pt an = , and the value of the corresponding
|
|
string that xterm would send, or DCS 0 + r Pt ST for
|
|
invalid requests. The strings are encoded in hexadecimal
|
|
(2 digits per character).

|
|
The VT100-style response parameters do not mean anything
|
|
by themselves. VT220 parameters do, telling the host
|
|
what features the terminal supports:
|
|
-> 1 132-columns
|
|
-> 2 Printer
|
|
-> 6 Selective erase
|
|
-> 8 User-defined keys
|
|
-> 9 National replacement character sets
|
|
-> 1 5 Technical characters
|
|
-> 2 2 ANSI color, e.g., VT525
|
|
-> 2 9 ANSI text locator (i.e., DEC Locator mode)
|
|
CSI > Ps c Send Device Attributes (Secondary DA)
|
|
Ps = 0 or omitted -> request the terminal's identifi-
|
|
cation code. The response depends on the decTerminalID
|
|
resource setting. It should apply only to VT220 and up,
|
|
but xterm extends this to VT100.
|
|
-> CSI > Pp ; Pv ; Pc c
|
|
where Pp denotes the terminal type
|
|
-> 0 (``VT100'')
|
|
-> 1 (``VT220'')
|
|
and Pv is the firmware version (for xterm, this is the
|
|
XFree86 patch number, starting with 95). In a DEC termi-
|
|
nal, Pc indicates the ROM cartridge registration number
|
|
and is always zero.

If 16-color support is compiled, the following apply.
|
|
Assume that xterm's resources are set so that the ISO
|
|
color codes are the first 8 of a set of 16. Then the
|

|
|
Ps = 1 0 7 -> Set background color to White
|
|
|

|
|
it supports the following, from rxvt:
|
|
Ps = 1 0 0 -> Set foreground and background color to
|
|
default
|
|
|
|
If 88- or 256-color support is compiled, the following

|
|
Enable Filter Rectangle (DECEFR)
|
|
Parameters are [top;left;bottom;right].
|
|
Defines the coordinates of a filter rectangle and acti-
|
|
vates it. Anytime the locator is detected outside of the
|
|
filter rectangle, an outside rectangle event is generated
|
|
and the rectangle is disabled. Filter rectangles are
|
|
always treated as "one-shot" events. Any parameters that
|
|
are omitted default to the current locator position. If
|
|
all parameters are omitted, any locator motion will be
|
|
reported. DECELR always cancels any prevous rectangle
|
|
definition.
|
|
CSI Ps x Request Terminal Parameters (DECREQTPARM)
|
|
if Ps is a "0" (default) or "1", and xterm is emulating
|
|
VT100, the control sequence elicits a response of the
|
|
same form whose parameters describe the terminal:
|
|
Ps -> the given Ps incremented by 2.
|
|
1 -> no parity
|
|
1 -> eight bits

Valid values for the first (and any additional parame-
|
|
ters) are:
|
|
Ps = 0 -> only respond to explicit host requests
|
|
(DECRQLP)
|
|
(default) also cancels any filter rectangle
|
|

CSI Pt; Pl; Pb; Pr$ {
|
|
Selective Erase Rectangular Area (DECSERA).
|
|
Pt; Pl; Pb; Pr denotes the rectangle.
|
|
CSI Ps ' | Request Locator Position (DECRQLP)
|
|
Valid values for the parameter are:
|
|
Ps = 0 , 1 or omitted -> transmit a single DECLRP loca-
|
|
tor report
|
|
|
|
If Locator Reporting has been enabled by a DECELR, xterm
|
|
will respond with a DECLRP Locator Report. This report
|
|
is also generated on button up and down events if they
|
|
have been enabled with a DECSLE, or when the locator is
|
|
detected outside of a filter rectangle, if filter rectan-
|
|
gles have been enabled with a DECEFR.
|
|
|
|
-> CSI Pe ; Pb ; Pr ; Pc ; Pp & w
|
|
|
|
Parameters are [event;button;row;column;page].
|
|
Valid values for the event:
|
|

|
|
sent
|
|
Pe = 1 -> request - xterm received a DECRQLP
|
|
Pe = 2 -> left button down
|
|
Pe = 3 -> left button up
|
|
Pe = 4 -> middle button down
|
|
Pe = 5 -> middle button up

|
Pe = 6 -> right button down
|
|
Pe = 7 -> right button up
|
|
Pe = 8 -> M4 button down
|
|
Pe = 9 -> M4 button up
|
|
Pe = 1 0 -> locator outside filter rectangle
|
|
``button'' parameter is a bitmask indicating which but-
|
|
tons are pressed:
|
|
Pb = 0 -> no buttons down
|
|
Pb & 1 -> right button down
|
|
Pb & 2 -> middle button down
|
|
Pb & 4 -> left button down
|
|
Pb & 8 -> M4 button down
|
|
``row'' and ``column'' parameters are the coordinates of
|
|
the locator position in the xterm window, encoded as
|
|
ASCII decimal.
|
|
The ``page'' parameter is not used by xterm, and will be
|
|
omitted.

Operating System Controls
|
|
OSC Ps ; Pt ST
|
|
OSC Ps ; Pt BEL
|
|
Set Text Parameters. For colors and font, if Pt is a
|
|
"?", the control sequence elicits a response which con-
|
|
sists of the control sequence which would set the corre-
|
|
sponding value. The dtterm control sequences allow you
|
|
to determine the icon name and window title.
|
|
Ps = 0 -> Change Icon Name and Window Title to Pt
|
|
Ps = 1 -> Change Icon Name to Pt
|
|
Ps = 2 -> Change Window Title to Pt
|
|
Ps = 3 -> Set X property on top-level window. Pt
|
|
should be in the form "prop=value", or just "prop" to
|
|
delete the property
|
|
Ps = 4 ; c ; spec -> Change Color Number c to the
|
|
color specified by spec, i.e., a name or RGB specifica-
|
|
tion as per XParseColor. Any number of c name pairs may
|
|
be given. The color numbers correspond to the ANSI col-
|
|
ors 0-7, their bright versions 8-15, and if supported,
|
|
the remainder of the 88-color or 256-color table.
|
|
|
|
If a "?" is given rather than a name or RGB specifica-
|
|
tion, xterm replies with a control sequence of the same
|
|
form which can be used to set the corresponding color.
|
|
Because more than one pair of color number and specifica-
|
|
tion can be given in one control sequence, xterm can make
|
|
more than one reply.
|
|
|
|
The 8 colors which may be set using 1 0 through 1 7 are
|
|
denoted dynamic colors, since the corresponding control
|
|
sequences were the first means for setting xterm's colors
|
|
dynamically, i.e., after it was started. They are not
|
|
the same as the ANSI colors. One or more parameters is
|
|
expected for Pt. Each successive parameter changes the
|
|
next color in the list. The value of Ps tells the start-
|
|
ing point in the list. The colors are specified by name
|
|
or RGB specification as per XParseColor.
|
|
|
|
If a "?" is given rather than a name or RGB specifica-
|
|
tion, xterm replies with a control sequence of the same
|
|
form which can be used to set the corresponding dynamic
|
|
color. Because more than one pair of color number and
|
|
specification can be given in one control sequence, xterm
|
|
can make more than one reply.
|
|
|
|
Ps = 1 0 -> Change VT100 text foreground color to Pt
|
|
Ps = 1 1 -> Change VT100 text background color to Pt
|
|
Ps = 1 2 -> Change text cursor color to Pt
|
|
Ps = 1 3 -> Change mouse foreground color to Pt
|
|
Ps = 1 4 -> Change mouse background color to Pt

Ps = 1 8 -> Change Tektronix cursor color to Pt
|
|
|
|
Ps = 4 6 -> Change Log File to Pt (normally disabled
|
|
by a compile-time option)
|
|
|
|
Ps = 5 0 -> Set Font to Pt If Pt begins with a "#",
|
|
index in the font menu, relative (if the next character
|
|
is a plus or minus sign) or absolute. A number is
|
|
expected but not required after the sign (the default is
|
|
the current entry for relative, zero for absolute index-
|
|
ing).
|
|
|
|
Ps = 5 1 (reserved for Emacs shell)
|
|
|
|
Ps = 5 2 -> Manipulate Selection Data. These controls
|
|
may be disabled using the allowWindowOps resource. The
|
|
parameter Pt is parsed as
|
|
Pc; Pd
|
|
The first, Pc, may contain any character from the set c
|
|
p s 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 . It is used to construct a
|
|
list of selection parameters for clipboard, primary,
|
|
select, or cut buffers 0 through 8 respectively, in the
|
|
order given. If the parameter is empty, xterm uses s 0 ,
|
|
to specify the configurable primary/clipboard selection
|
|
and cut buffer 0.
|
|
The second parameter, Pd, gives the selection data. Nor-
|
|
mally this is a string encoded in base64. The data
|
|
becomes the new selection, which is then available for
|
|
pasting by other applications.
|
|
If the second parameter is a ? , xterm replies to the
|
|
host with the selection data encoded using the same pro-
|
|
tocol.

need not be printable characters.
|
|
|
|
PC-Style Function Keys
|
|
If xterm does minimal translation of the function keys, it usually does
|
|
this with a PC-style keyboard, so PC-style function keys result. Sun
|
|
keyboards are similar to PC keyboards. Both have cursor and scrolling
|
|
operations printed on the keypad, which duplicate the smaller cursor and
|
|
scrolling keypads.
|
|
X does not predefine NumLock (used for VT220 keyboards) or Alt (used as
|
|
an extension for the Sun/PC keyboards) as modifiers. These keys are
|
|
recognized as modifiers when enabled by the numLock resource, or by the
|
|
DECSET 1 0 3 5 control sequence.
|
|
The cursor keys transmit the following escape sequences depending on the
|
|
mode specified via the DECCKM escape sequence.

The home- and end-keys (unlike PageUp and other keys also on the 6-key

editing keypad) are considered "cursor keys" by xterm. Their mode is

|
|
In normal mode, i.e., a Sun/PC keyboard when the sunKeyboard resource is
|
|
false, xterm recognizes function key modifiers which are parameters
|
|
appended before the final character of the control sequence.

6 Shift + Control
|
|
7 Alt + Control

---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For example, shift-F5 would be sent as CSI 1 5 ; 2 ~
|
|
If the alwaysUseMods resource is set, the Meta modifier also is recog-
|
|
nized, making parameters 9 through 16.

|
VT220-Style Function Keys
|
|
However, xterm is most useful as a DEC VT102 or VT220 emulator. Set the
|
|
sunKeyboard resource to true to force a Sun/PC keyboard to act like a
|
|
VT220 keyboard.
|
|
|
|
The VT102/VT220 application keypad transmits unique escape sequences in
|
|
application mode, which are distinct from the cursor and scrolling key-
|
|

The VT220 provides a 6-key editing keypad, which is analogous to that on
|
|
the PC keyboard. It is not affected by DECCKM or DECPNM/DECPAM:

VT52-Style Function Keys
|
|
A VT52 does not have function keys, but it does have a numeric keypad
|
|
and cursor keys. They differ from the other emulations by the prefix.
|
|
Also, the cursor keys do not change:

Sun-Style Function Keys
|
|
The xterm program provides support for Sun keyboards more directly, by a
|
|
menu toggle that causes it to send Sun-style function key codes rather
|
|
than VT220. Note, however, that the sun and VT100 emulations are not
|
|
really compatible. For example, their wrap-margin behavior differs.
|
|
Only function keys are altered; keypad and cursor keys are the same.
|
|
The emulation responds identically. See the xterm-sun terminfo entry
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
HP-Style Function Keys
|
|
Similarly, xterm can be compiled to support HP keyboards. See the
|
|
xterm-hp terminfo entry for details.
|
|
|
|
The Alternate Screen Buffer
|
|
Xterm maintains two screen buffers. The normal screen buffer allows you
|
|
to scroll back to view saved lines of output up to the maximum set by
|
|
the saveLines resource. The alternate screen buffer is exactly as large
|
|
as the display, contains no additional saved lines. When the alternate
|
|
screen buffer is active, you cannot scroll back to view saved lines.
|
|
Xterm provides control sequences and menu entries for switching between
|
|
the two.
|
|
|
|
Most full-screen applications use terminfo or termcap to obtain strings
|
|
used to start/stop full-screen mode, i.e., smcup and rmcup for terminfo,
|
|
or the corresponding ti and te for termcap. The titeInhibit resource
|
|
removes the ti and te strings from the TERMCAP string which is set in
|
|
the environment for some platforms. That is not done when xterm is
|
|
built with terminfo libraries because terminfo does not provide the
|
|
whole text of the termcap data in one piece. It would not work for ter-
|
|
minfo anyway, since terminfo data is not passed in environment vari-
|
|
ables; setting an environment variable in this manner would have no
|
|
effect on the application's ability to switch between normal and alter-
|
|
nate screen buffers. Instead, the newer private mode controls (such as
|
|
1 0 4 9 ) for switching between normal and alternate screen buffers sim-
|
|
ply disable the switching. They add other features such as clearing the
|
|
display for the same reason: to make the details of switching indepen-
|
|
dent of the application that requests the switch.
|
|
|
|
Bracketed Paste Mode
|
|
When bracketed paste mode is set, pasted text is bracketed with control
|
|
sequences so that the program can differentiate pasted text from typed-
|
|
in text. When bracketed paste mode is set, the program will receive:
|
|
ESC [ 200 ~, followed by the pasted text, followed by ESC [ 201 ~.
|
|
|
|
Mouse Tracking
|
|
The VT widget can be set to send the mouse position and other informa-
|
|
tion on button presses. These modes are typically used by editors and
|
|
other full-screen applications that want to make use of the mouse.
|
|
|
|
There are six mutually exclusive modes. One is DEC Locator mode,
|
|
enabled by the DECELR CSI Ps ; Ps ' z control sequence, and is not
|
|
described here (control sequences are summarized above). The remaining
|
|
five modes are each enabled (or disabled) by a different parameter in
|
|
DECSET CSI ? Pm h or DECRST CSI ? Pm l control sequence.
|
|
|
|
Manifest constants for the parameter values are defined in xcharmouse.h
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
#define SET_X10_MOUSE 9
|
|
#define SET_VT200_MOUSE 1000
|
|
#define SET_VT200_HIGHLIGHT_MOUSE 1001
|
|
#define SET_BTN_EVENT_MOUSE 1002
|
|
#define SET_ANY_EVENT_MOUSE 1003
|
|
|
|
The motion reporting modes are strictly xterm extensions, and are not
|
|
part of any standard, though they are analogous to the DEC VT200 DECELR
|
|
locator reports.
|
|
|
|
Parameters (such as pointer position and button number) for all mouse
|
|
tracking escape sequences generated by xterm encode numeric parameters
|
|
in a single character as value+32. For example, ! specifies the value
|
|
1. The upper left character position on the terminal is denoted as 1,1.
|
|
|
|
X10 compatibility mode sends an escape sequence only on button press,
|
|
encoding the location and the mouse button pressed. It is enabled by
|
|
specifying parameter 9 to DECSET. On button press, xterm sends CSI M
|
|
CbCxCy (6 characters). Cb is button-1. Cx and Cy are the x and y coor-
|
|
dinates of the mouse when the button was pressed.
|
|
|
|
Normal tracking mode sends an escape sequence on both button press and
|
|
release. Modifier key (shift, ctrl, meta) information is also sent. It
|
|
is enabled by specifying parameter 1000 to DECSET. On button press or
|
|
release, xterm sends CSI M CbCxCy. The low two bits of Cb encode button
|
|
information: 0=MB1 pressed, 1=MB2 pressed, 2=MB3 pressed, 3=release.
|
|
The next three bits encode the modifiers which were down when the button
|
|
was pressed and are added together: 4=Shift, 8=Meta, 16=Control. Note
|
|
however that the shift and control bits are normally unavailable because
|
|
xterm uses the control modifier with mouse for popup menus, and the
|
|
shift modifier is used in the default translations for button events.
|
|
The Meta modifier recognized by xterm is the mod1 mask, and is not nec-
|
|
essarily the "Meta" key (see xmodmap). Cx and Cy are the x and y coor-
|
|
dinates of the mouse event, encoded as in X10 mode.
|
|
|
|
Wheel mice may return buttons 4 and 5. Those buttons are represented by
|
|
the same event codes as buttons 1 and 2 respectively, except that 64 is
|
|
added to the event code. Release events for the wheel buttons are not
|
|
reported.
|
|
|
|
Mouse highlight tracking notifies a program of a button press, receives
|
|
a range of lines from the program, highlights the region covered by the
|
|
mouse within that range until button release, and then sends the program
|
|
the release coordinates. It is enabled by specifying parameter 1001 to
|
|
DECSET. Highlighting is performed only for button 1, though other but-
|
|
ton events can be received. Warning: use of this mode requires a coop-
|
|
erating program or it will hang xterm. On button press, the same infor-
|
|
mation as for normal tracking is generated; xterm then waits for the
|
|
program to send mouse tracking information. All X events are ignored
|
|
until the proper escape sequence is received from the pty: CSI Ps ; Ps ;
|
|
Ps ; Ps ; Ps T . The parameters are func, startx, starty, firstrow, and
|
|
lastrow. func is non-zero to initiate highlight tracking and zero to
|
|
abort. startx and starty give the starting x and y location for the
|
|
highlighted region. The ending location tracks the mouse, but will
|
|
never be above row firstrow and will always be above row lastrow. (The
|
|
top of the screen is row 1.) When the button is released, xterm reports
|
|
the ending position one of two ways: if the start and end coordinates
|
|
are valid text locations: CSI t CxCy. If either coordinate is past the
|
|
end of the line: CSI T CxCyCxCyCxCy. The parameters are startx, starty,
|
|
endx, endy, mousex, and mousey. startx, starty, endx, and endy give the
|
|
starting and ending character positions of the region. mousex and
|
|
mousey give the location of the mouse at button up, which may not be
|
|
over a character.
|
|
|
|
Button-event tracking is essentially the same as normal tracking, but
|
|
xterm also reports button-motion events. Motion events are reported
|
|
only if the mouse pointer has moved to a different character cell. It
|
|
is enabled by specifying parameter 1002 to DECSET. On button press or
|
|
release, xterm sends the same codes used by normal tracking mode. On
|
|
button-motion events, xterm adds 32 to the event code (the third charac-
|
|
ter, Cb). The other bits of the event code specify button and modifier
|
|
keys as in normal mode. For example, motion into cell x,y with button 1
|
|
down is reported as CSI M @ CxCy. ( @ = 32 + 0 (button 1) + 32 (motion
|
|
indicator) ). Similarly, motion with button 3 down is reported as CSI M
|
|
B CxCy. ( B = 32 + 2 (button 3) + 32 (motion indicator) ).
|
|
|
|
Any-event mode is the same as button-event mode, except that all motion
|
|
events are reported, even if no mouse button is down. It is enabled by
|
|
specifying 1003 to DECSET.
|
|

Tektronix 4014 Mode
|
|
Most of these sequences are standard Tektronix 4014 control sequences.
|
|
Graph mode supports the 12-bit addressing of the Tektronix 4014. The
|
|
major features missing are the write-through and defocused modes. This
|
|
document does not describe the commands used in the various Tektronix
|
