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). This
|
|
affects next character only.
|
|
ESC O
|
|
Single Shift Select of G3 Character Set (SS3 is 0x8f). This
|
|
affects next character only.
|
|
ESC P
|
|
Device Control String (DCS is 0x90).
|
|
ESC V
|
|
Start of Guarded Area (SPA is 0x96).
|
|
ESC W
|
|
End of Guarded Area (EPA is 0x97).
|
|
ESC X
|
|
Start of String (SOS is 0x98).
|
|
ESC Z
|
|
Return Terminal ID (DECID is 0x9a). Obsolete form of CSI c (DA).
|
|
ESC [
|
|
Control Sequence Introducer (CSI is 0x9b).
|
|
ESC \
|
|
String Terminator (ST is 0x9c).
|
|
ESC ]
|
|
Operating System Command (OSC is 0x9d).
|
|
ESC ^
|
|
Privacy Message (PM is 0x9e).
|
|
ESC _
|
|
Application Program Command (APC is 0x9f).
|
|
|
|
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, VT510), as well as ISO 6429 and aixterm color controls. The only
|
|
VT102 feature not supported is auto-repeat, since the only way X pro-
|
|
vides for this will affect all windows.
|
|
There are additional control sequences to provide xterm-dependent func-
|
|
tions, 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 paren-
|
|
theses.
|
|
The escape codes to designate and invoke character sets are specified by
|
|
ISO 2022 (see that document for a discussion of character sets).
|
|
Many of the features are optional; xterm can be configured and built
|
|
without support for them.
|
|
|
|
Single-character functions
|
|
BEL Bell (Ctrl-G).
|
|
BS Backspace (Ctrl-H).
|
|
CR Carriage Return (Ctrl-M).
|
|
ENQ Return Terminal Status (Ctrl-E). Default response is an empty
|
|
string, but may be overridden by a resource answerbackString.
|
|
FF Form Feed or New Page (NP). Ctrl-L is treated the same as LF.
|
|
LF Line Feed or New Line (NL). (LF is Ctrl-J).
|
|
SI Shift In (Ctrl-O) -> Switch to Standard Character Set. This
|
|
invokes the G0 character set (the default).
|
|
SO Shift Out (Ctrl-N) -> Switch to Alternate Character Set. This
|
|
invokes the G1 character set.
|
|
SP Space.
|
|
TAB Horizontal Tab (HT) (Ctrl-I).
|
|
VT Vertical Tab (Ctrl-K). This is treated the same as LF.
|
|
|
|
Controls beginning with ESC
|
|
This excludes controls where ESC is part of a 7-bit equivalent to 8-bit
|
|
C1 controls, ordered by the final character(s).
|
|
ESC SP F 7-bit controls (S7C1T).
|
|
ESC SP G 8-bit controls (S8C1T).
|
|
ESC SP L Set ANSI conformance level 1 (dpANS X3.134.1).
|
|
ESC SP M Set ANSI conformance level 2 (dpANS X3.134.1).
|
|
ESC SP N Set ANSI conformance level 3 (dpANS X3.134.1).
|
|
ESC # 3 DEC double-height line, top half (DECDHL).
|
|
ESC # 4 DEC double-height line, bottom half (DECDHL).
|
|
ESC # 5 DEC single-width line (DECSWL).
|
|
ESC # 6 DEC double-width line (DECDWL).
|
|
ESC # 8 DEC Screen Alignment Test (DECALN).
|
|
ESC % @ Select default character set. That is ISO 8859-1 (ISO 2022).
|
|
ESC % G Select UTF-8 character set (ISO 2022).
|
|
ESC ( C Designate G0 Character Set (ISO 2022, VT100).
|
|
Final character C for designating 94-character sets. In this
|
|
list, 0 , A and B apply to VT100 and up, the remainder to
|
|
VT220 and up. The VT220 character sets, together with the
|
|
Portuguese character set are activated by the National
|
|
Replacement Character controls. The A is a special case,
|
|
since it is also activated by the VT300-control for British
|
|
Latin-1 separately from the National Replacement Character
|
|
controls.

|
Application Program-Control functions
|
|
APC Pt ST None. 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 denot-
|
|
ing 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
|
|
SP q -> DECSCUSR
|
|
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 + p Pt ST
|
|
Set Termcap/Terminfo Data (xterm, experimental). The string
|
|
following the "p" is a name to use for retrieving data from
|
|
the terminal database. The data will be used for the "tcap"
|
|
keyboard configuration's function- and special-keys, as well
|
|
as by the Request Termcap/Terminfo String control.
|
|
DCS + q Pt ST
|
|
Request Termcap/Terminfo String (xterm, experimental). The
|
|
string following the "q" is a list of names encoded in hexa-
|
|
decimal (2 digits per character) separated by ; which corre-
|
|
spond to termcap or terminfo key names.
|
|
Two special features are also recognized, which are not key
|
|
names: Co for termcap colors (or colors for terminfo colors),
|
|
and TN for termcap name (or name for terminfo name).
|
|
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 charac-
|
|
ter).
|
|
|
|

CSI Ps M Delete Ps Line(s) (default = 1) (DL).
|
|
CSI Ps P Delete Ps Character(s) (default = 1) (DCH).
|
|
CSI Ps S Scroll up Ps lines (default = 1) (SU).
|
|
CSI ? Pi; Pa; Pv S
|
|
If configured to support either Sixel Graphics or ReGIS Graph-
|
|
ics, xterm accepts a three-parameter control sequence, where
|
|
Pi, Pa and Pv are the item, action and value.
|
|
Pi = 1 -> item (color registers)
|
|
Pa = 1 -> read the number of color registers
|
|
Pa = 2 -> reset the number of color registers
|
|
Pa = 3 -> set the number of color registers to the value Pv
|
|
The control sequence returns a response using the same form:
|
|
|
|
CSI ? Pi; Ps; Pv S
|
|
|
|
where Ps is the status:
|
|
Ps = 0 -> success
|
|
Ps = 3 -> failure
|
|
CSI Ps T Scroll down Ps lines (default = 1) (SD).
|
|
CSI Ps ; Ps ; Ps ; Ps ; Ps T
|
|
Initiate highlight mouse tracking. Parameters are
|
|
[func;startx;starty;firstrow;lastrow]. See the section Mouse
|
|
Tracking.
|
|
CSI > Ps; Ps T
|
|
Reset one or more features of the title modes to the default
|
|
value. Normally, "reset" disables the feature. It is possi-
|
|
ble to disable the ability to reset features by compiling a
|
|
different default for the title modes into xterm.
|
|
Ps = 0 -> Do not set window/icon labels using hexadecimal.
|
|
Ps = 1 -> Do not query window/icon labels using hexadeci-
|
|
mal.
|
|
Ps = 2 -> Do not set window/icon labels using UTF-8.
|
|
Ps = 3 -> Do not query window/icon labels using UTF-8.
|
|
(See discussion of "Title Modes").
|
|
CSI Ps X Erase Ps Character(s) (default = 1) (ECH).
|
|
CSI Ps Z Cursor Backward Tabulation Ps tab stops (default = 1) (CBT).
|
|
CSI Pm ` Character Position Absolute [column] (default = [row,1])
|
|

|
|
CSI Pm a Character Position Relative [columns] (default = [row,col+1])
|
|
(HPR).
|
|
CSI Ps b Repeat the preceding graphic character Ps times (REP).
|
|
CSI Ps c Send Device Attributes (Primary DA).
|
|
Ps = 0 or omitted -> request attributes from terminal. The
|
|
response depends on the decTerminalID resource setting.
|
|
-> CSI ? 1 ; 2 c (``VT100 with Advanced Video Option'')
|
|

|
|
-> CSI ? 6 3 ; Psc (``VT320'')
|
|
-> CSI ? 6 4 ; Psc (``VT420'')
|
|
The VT100-style response parameters do not mean anything by
|
|
themselves. VT220 (and higher) parameters do, telling the
|
|
host what features the terminal supports:
|
|
Ps = 1 -> 132-columns.
|
|
Ps = 2 -> Printer.
|
|
Ps = 3 -> ReGIS graphics.
|
|
Ps = 4 -> Sixel graphics.
|
|
Ps = 6 -> Selective erase.
|
|
Ps = 8 -> User-defined keys.
|
|
Ps = 9 -> National Replacement Character sets.
|
|
Ps = 1 5 -> Technical characters.
|
|
Ps = 1 8 -> User windows.
|
|
Ps = 2 1 -> Horizontal scrolling.
|
|
Ps = 2 2 -> ANSI color, e.g., VT525.
|
|
Ps = 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 identification
|
|
code. The response depends on the decTerminalID resource set-
|
|
ting. It should apply only to VT220 and up, but xterm extends
|
|
this to VT100.
|
|

where Pp denotes the terminal type
|

|
Pp = 2 -> ``VT240''.
|

|
|
and Pv is the firmware version (for xterm, this was originally
|
|
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 aixterm colors are the
|
|
bright versions of the ISO colors:
|
|
Ps = 9 0 -> Set foreground color to Black.
|
|
Ps = 9 1 -> Set foreground color to Red.
|
|
Ps = 9 2 -> Set foreground color to Green.
|
|
Ps = 9 3 -> Set foreground color to Yellow.
|
|
Ps = 9 4 -> Set foreground color to Blue.
|

|
|
Ps = 1 0 5 -> Set background color to Magenta.
|
|
Ps = 1 0 6 -> Set background color to Cyan.
|
|
Ps = 1 0 7 -> Set background color to White.
|
|
|
|
If xterm is compiled with the 16-color support disabled, it
|
|
supports the following, from rxvt:
|
|
Ps = 1 0 0 -> Set foreground and background color to
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
Xterm maintains a color palette whose entries are identified
|
|
by an index beginning with zero. If 88- or 256-color support
|
|
is compiled, the following apply:
|
|
o All parameters are decimal integers.
|
|
o RGB values range from zero (0) to 255.
|
|
o ISO-8613-3 can be interpreted in more than one way; xterm
|
|
allows the semicolons in this control to be replaced by
|
|
colons (but after the first colon, colons must be used).
|
|
|
|
These ISO-8613-3 controls are supported:
|
|
Ps = 3 8 ; 2 ; Pr ; Pg ; Pb -> Set foreground color to the
|
|
closest match in xterm's palette for the given RGB Pr/Pg/Pb.
|
|
Ps = 3 8 ; 5 ; Ps -> Set foreground color to the second
|
|
Ps.
|
|
Ps = 4 8 ; 2 ; Pr ; Pg ; Pb -> Set background color to the
|
|
closest match in xterm's palette for the given RGB Pr/Pg/Pb.
|
|
Ps = 4 8 ; 5 ; Ps -> Set background color to the second
|
|
Ps.
|
|
|
|
CSI > Ps; Ps m
|
|
Set or reset resource-values used by xterm to decide whether
|
|
to construct escape sequences holding information about the
|
|
modifiers pressed with a given key. The first parameter iden-
|
|
tifies the resource to set/reset. The second parameter is the
|
|
value to assign to the resource. If the second parameter is
|
|
omitted, the resource is reset to its initial value.
|
|
Ps = 0 -> modifyKeyboard.
|
|
Ps = 1 -> modifyCursorKeys.
|
|
Ps = 2 -> modifyFunctionKeys.
|
|
Ps = 4 -> modifyOtherKeys.
|
|
If no parameters are given, all resources are reset to their
|
|
initial values.
|
|
CSI Ps n Device Status Report (DSR).
|
|
Ps = 5 -> Status Report. Result (``OK'') is
|
|
CSI 0 n
|
|
Ps = 6 -> Report Cursor Position (CPR) [row;column].
|
|
Result is
|
|
CSI r ; c R
|
|
|
|
Note: it is possible for this sequence to be sent by a func-
|
|
tion key. For example, with the default keyboard configura-
|
|
tion the shifted F1 key may send (with shift-, control-, alt-
|
|
modifiers)
|
|
CSI 1 ; 2 R , or
|
|
CSI 1 ; 5 R , or
|
|
CSI 1 ; 6 R , etc.
|
|
The second parameter encodes the modifiers; values range from
|
|
2 to 16. See the section PC-Style Function Keys for the
|
|
codes. The modifyFunctionKeys and modifyKeyboard resources
|
|
can change the form of the string sent from the modified F1
|
|
key.
|
|
|
|
CSI > Ps n
|
|
Disable modifiers which may be enabled via the CSI > Ps; Ps m
|
|
sequence. This corresponds to a resource value of "-1", which
|
|
cannot be set with the other sequence. The parameter identi-
|
|
fies the resource to be disabled:
|
|
Ps = 0 -> modifyKeyboard.
|
|
Ps = 1 -> modifyCursorKeys.
|
|
Ps = 2 -> modifyFunctionKeys.
|
|
Ps = 4 -> modifyOtherKeys.
|
|
If the parameter is omitted, modifyFunctionKeys is disabled.
|
|
When modifyFunctionKeys is disabled, xterm uses the modifier
|
|
keys to make an extended sequence of functions rather than
|
|
adding a parameter to each function key to denote the modi-
|
|
fiers.
|

CSI Pt ; Pl ; Pb ; Pr ' w
|
|
Enable Filter Rectangle (DECEFR), VT420 and up.
|
|
Parameters are [top;left;bottom;right].
|
|
Defines the coordinates of a filter rectangle and activates
|
|
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 omit-
|
|
ted, any locator motion will be reported. DECELR always can-
|
|
cels 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.
|
|
Pn = 1 <- no parity.
|
|
Pn = 1 <- eight bits.
|
|
Pn = 1 <- 2 8 transmit 38.4k baud.
|
|
Pn = 1 <- 2 8 receive 38.4k baud.
|
|
Pn = 1 <- clock multiplier.
|
|
Pn = 0 <- STP flags.
|
|
CSI Ps * x
|
|
Select Attribute Change Extent (DECSACE).
|
|
Ps = 0 -> from start to end position, wrapped.
|
|
Ps = 1 -> from start to end position, wrapped.
|
|
Ps = 2 -> rectangle (exact).
|
|
CSI Pi ; Pg ; Pt; Pl; Pb; Pr * y
|
|
Request Checksum of Rectangular Area (DECRQCRA), VT420 and up.
|
|
Response is
|
|
DCS Pt ! x x x x ST
|
|
Pi is the request id.
|
|
Pg is the page number.
|
|
Pt; Pl; Pb; Pr denotes the rectangle.
|
|
The x's are hexadecimal digits 0-9 and A-F.
|
|
CSI Pc ; Pt ; Pl ; Pb ; Pr $ x
|
|
Fill Rectangular Area (DECFRA), VT420 and up.
|
|
Pc is the character to use.
|
|
Pt; Pl; Pb; Pr denotes the rectangle.
|
|
CSI Ps ; Pu ' z
|
|
Enable Locator Reporting (DECELR).
|
|
Valid values for the first parameter:
|
|
Ps = 0 -> Locator disabled (default).
|
|
Ps = 1 -> Locator enabled.
|
|
Ps = 2 -> Locator enabled for one report, then disabled.
|
|
The second parameter specifies the coordinate unit for locator
|
|
reports.
|
|
Valid values for the second parameter:
|
|
Pu = 0 <- or omitted -> default to character cells.
|
|
Pu = 1 <- device physical pixels.
|
|
Pu = 2 <- character cells.
|
|
CSI Pt; Pl; Pb; Pr$ z
|
|
Erase Rectangular Area (DECERA), VT400 and up.
|
|
Pt; Pl; Pb; Pr denotes the rectangle.
|
|
CSI Pm ' {
|
|
Select Locator Events (DECSLE).
|
|
Valid values for the first (and any additional parameters)
|
|
are:
|
|
Ps = 0 -> only respond to explicit host requests (DECRQLP).
|
|
(This is default). It also cancels any filter
|
|
rectangle.
|
|
Ps = 1 -> report button down transitions.
|
|
Ps = 2 -> do not report button down transitions.
|
|
Ps = 3 -> report button up transitions.

|
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 locator
|
|
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 rectangles 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:
|
|
Pe = 0 -> locator unavailable - no other parameters 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.
|
|

``button'' parameter is a bitmask indicating which buttons 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 deci-
|
|
mal.
|
|
The ``page'' parameter is not used by xterm, and will be omit-
|
|
ted.
|

|
|
|
|
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 consists of the con-
|
|
trol sequence which would set the corresponding 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 prop-
|
|
erty
|
|
Ps = 4 ; c ; spec -> Change Color Number c to the color
|
|
specified by spec. This can be a name or RGB specification as
|
|
per XParseColor. Any number of c name pairs may be given.
|
|
The color numbers correspond to the ANSI colors 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 specification,
|
|
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 specification can be given in one
|
|
control sequence, xterm can make more than one reply.
|
|
|
|
Ps = 5 ; c ; spec -> Change Special Color Number c to the
|
|
color specified by spec. This can be a name or RGB specifica-
|
|
tion as per XParseColor. Any number of c name pairs may be
|
|
given. The special colors can also be set by adding the maxi-
|
|
mum number of colors to these codes in an OSC 4 control:
|
|
|
|
Pc = 0 <- resource colorBD (BOLD).
|
|
Pc = 1 <- resource colorUL (UNDERLINE).
|
|
Pc = 2 <- resource colorBL (BLINK).
|
|
Pc = 3 <- resource colorRV (REVERSE).
|
|
|
|
The 10 colors (below) which may be set or queried using 1 0
|
|
through 1 9 are denoted dynamic colors, since the correspond-
|
|
ing 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. These controls may be disabled
|
|
using the allowColorOps resource. At least one parameter is
|
|
expected for Pt. Each successive parameter changes the next
|
|
color in the list. The value of Ps tells the starting point
|
|
in the list. The colors are specified by name or RGB specifi-
|
|
cation as per XParseColor.
|
|
|
|
If a "?" is given rather than a name or RGB specification,
|
|
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 5 -> Change Tektronix foreground color to Pt.
|
|
Ps = 1 6 -> Change Tektronix background color to Pt.
|
|
Ps = 1 7 -> Change highlight background color to Pt.
|
|
Ps = 1 8 -> Change Tektronix cursor color to Pt.
|
|
Ps = 1 9 -> Change highlight foreground color to Pt.
|
|
|
|
Ps = 4 6 -> Change Log File to Pt. (This is normally dis-
|
|
abled by a compile-time option).
|
|
|
|
Ps = 5 0 -> Set Font to Pt. These controls may be disabled
|
|
using the allowFontOps resource. 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 indexing).
|
|
The same rule (plus or minus sign, optional number) is used
|
|
when querying the font. The remainder of Pt is ignored.
|
|
A font can be specified after a "#" index expression, by
|
|
adding a space and then the font specifier.
|
|
If the "TrueType Fonts" menu entry is set (the renderFont
|
|
resource), then this control sets/queries the faceName
|
|
resource.
|
|
|
|
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 zero or more characters 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 7 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. Normally
|
|
this is a string encoded in base64. The data becomes the new
|
|
selection, which is then available for pasting by other appli-
|
|
cations.
|
|
If the second parameter is a ? , xterm replies to the host
|
|
with the selection data encoded using the same protocol.
|
|
If the second parameter is neither a base64 string nor ? ,
|
|
then the selection is cleared.
|
|
|
|
Ps = 1 0 4 ; c -> Reset Color Number c. It is reset to the
|
|
color specified by the corresponding X resource. Any number
|
|
of c parameters may be given. These parameters correspond to
|
|
the ANSI colors 0-7, their bright versions 8-15, and if sup-
|
|
ported, the remainder of the 88-color or 256-color table. If
|
|
no parameters are given, the entire table will be reset.
|
|
|
|
Ps = 1 0 5 ; c -> Reset Special Color Number c. It is
|
|
reset to the color specified by the corresponding X resource.
|
|
Any number of c parameters may be given. These parameters
|
|
correspond to the special colors which can be set using an OSC
|
|
5 control (or by adding the maximum number of colors using an
|
|
OSC 4 control).
|
|
|
|
The dynamic colors can also be reset to their default
|
|
(resource) values:
|
|
Ps = 1 1 0 -> Reset VT100 text foreground color.
|
|
Ps = 1 1 1 -> Reset VT100 text background color.
|
|
Ps = 1 1 2 -> Reset text cursor color.
|
|
Ps = 1 1 3 -> Reset mouse foreground color.
|
|
Ps = 1 1 4 -> Reset mouse background color.
|
|
Ps = 1 1 5 -> Reset Tektronix foreground color.
|
|
Ps = 1 1 6 -> Reset Tektronix background color.
|
|
Ps = 1 1 7 -> Reset highlight color.
|
|
Ps = 1 1 8 -> Reset Tektronix cursor color.
|
|
Ps = 1 1 9 -> Reset highlight foreground color.

|
|

|
Alt and Meta Keys
|
|
Many keyboards have keys labeled "Alt". Few have keys labeled "Meta".
|
|
However, xterm's default translations use the Meta modifier. Common
|
|
keyboard configurations assign the Meta modifier to an "Alt" key. By
|
|
using xmodmap one may have the modifier assigned to a different key, and
|
|
have "real" alt and meta keys. Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
! put meta on mod3 to distinguish it from alt
|
|
keycode 64 = Alt_L
|
|
clear mod1
|
|
add mod1 = Alt_L
|
|
keycode 115 = Meta_L
|
|
clear mod3
|
|
add mod3 = Meta_L
|
|
|
|
|
|
The metaSendsEscape resource (and altSendsEscape if altIsNotMeta is set)
|
|
can be used to control the way the Meta modifier applies to ordinary
|
|
keys unless the modifyOtherKeys resource is set:
|
|
- prefix a key with the ESC character.
|
|
- shift the key from codes 0-127 to 128-255 by adding 128.
|
|
|
|
The table shows the result for a given character "x" with modifiers
|
|
according to the default translations with the resources set on or off.
|
|
This assumes altIsNotMeta is set:

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.

|
nal, they have been deprecated. (The DEC VT220 reserves F1 through F5

|
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-
|
|
pad:

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 [ 2 0 0 ~ ,
|
|
followed by the pasted text, followed by
|
|
ESC [ 2 0 1 ~ .
|
|
|
|
Title Modes
|
|
The window- and icon-labels can be set or queried using control
|
|
sequences. As a VT220-emulator, xterm "should" limit the character
|
|
encoding for the corresponding strings to ISO-8859-1. Indeed, it used
|
|
to be the case (and was documented) that window titles had to be
|
|
ISO-8859-1. This is no longer the case. However, there are many appli-
|
|
cations which still assume that titles are set using ISO-8859-1. So
|
|
that is the default behavior.
|
|
|
|
If xterm is running with UTF-8 encoding, it is possible to use window-
|
|
and icon-labels encoded using UTF-8. That is because the underlying X
|
|
libraries (and many, but not all) window managers support this feature.
|
|
|
|
The utf8Title X resource setting tells xterm to disable a reconversion
|
|
of the title string back to ISO-8859-1, allowing the title strings to be
|
|
interpreted as UTF-8. The same feature can be enabled using the title
|
|
mode control sequence described in this summary.
|
|
|
|
Separate from the ability to set the titles, xterm provides the ability
|
|
to query the titles, returning them either in ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8. This
|
|
choice is available only while xterm is using UTF-8 encoding.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the characters sent to, or returned by a title control are less
|
|
constrained than the rest of the control sequences. To make them more
|
|
manageable (and constrained), for use in shell scripts, xterm has an
|
|
optional feature which decodes the string from hexadecimal (for setting
|
|
titles) or for encoding the title into hexadecimal when querying the
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
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 two sets of mutually exclusive modes:
|
|
o mouse protocol
|
|
o protocol encoding
|
|
|
|
The mouse protocols include 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 of the mouse
|
|
protocols are each enabled (or disabled) by a different parameter in the
|
|
"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
|
|
|
|
#define SET_FOCUS_EVENT_MOUSE 1004
|
|
|
|
#define SET_EXT_MODE_MOUSE 1005
|
|
#define SET_SGR_EXT_MODE_MOUSE 1006
|
|
#define SET_URXVT_EXT_MODE_MOUSE 1015
|
|
|
|
#define SET_ALTERNATE_SCROLL 1007
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Normally, 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. This scheme dates back to X10, though the normal mouse-
|
|
tracking (from X11) is more elaborate.
|
|
X10 compatbility mode
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
o Cb is button-1.
|
|
o Cx and Cy are the x and y coordinates of the mouse when the button was
|
|
pressed.
|
|
Normal tracking mode
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
o The low two bits of Cb encode button information: 0=MB1 pressed, 1=MB2
|
|
pressed, 2=MB3 pressed, 3=release.
|
|
o The next three bits encode the modifiers which were down when the but-
|
|
ton 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 necessarily the "Meta" key (see xmodmap).
|
|
o Cx and Cy are the x and y coordinates of the mouse event, encoded as
|
|
in X10 mode.
|
|
Wheel mice
|
|
|
|
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. By default, the wheel mouse events are translated to scroll-
|
|
back and scroll-forw actions. Those actions normally scroll the whole
|
|
window, as if the scrollbar was used. However if Alternate Scroll mode
|
|
is set, then cursor up/down controls are sent when the terminal is dis-
|
|
playing the alternate screen. The initial state of Alternate Scroll
|
|
mode is set using the alternateScroll resource.
|
|
Highlight tracking
|
|
|
|
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 cooperating program or it will hang
|
|
xterm.
|
|
|
|
On button press, the same information as for normal tracking is gener-
|
|
ated; xterm then waits for the program to send mouse tracking informa-
|
|
tion. 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:
|
|
o if the start and end coordinates are the same locations:
|
|
CSI t CxCy.
|
|
o otherwise:
|
|
CSI T CxCyCxCyCxCy.
|
|
The parameters are startx, starty, endx, endy, mousex, and mousey.
|
|
- startx, starty, endx, and endy give the starting and ending charac-
|
|
ter 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
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
o On button-motion events, xterm adds 32 to the event code (the third
|
|
character, Cb).
|
|
o 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 tracking
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
FocusIn/FocusOut
|
|
|
|
FocusIn/FocusOut can be combined with any of the mouse events since it
|
|
uses a different protocol. When set, it causes xterm to send CSI I
|
|
when the terminal gains focus, and CSI O when it loses focus.
|
|
Extended coordinates
|
|
|
|
The original X10 mouse protocol limits the Cx and Cy ordinates to 223
|
|
(=255 - 32). Xterm supports more than one scheme for extending this
|
|
range, by changing the protocol encoding:
|
|
UTF-8 (1005)
|
|
This enables UTF-8 encoding for Cx and Cy under all tracking
|
|
modes, expanding the maximum encodable position from 223 to
|
|
2015. For positions less than 95, the resulting output is
|
|
identical under both modes. Under extended mouse mode, posi-
|
|
tions greater than 95 generate "extra" bytes which will con-
|
|
fuse applications which do not treat their input as a UTF-8
|
|
stream. Likewise, Cb will be UTF-8 encoded, to reduce confu-
|
|
sion with wheel mouse events.
|
|
Under normal mouse mode, positions outside (160,94) result in
|
|
byte pairs which can be interpreted as a single UTF-8 charac-
|
|
ter; applications which do treat their input as UTF-8 will
|
|
almost certainly be confused unless extended mouse mode is
|
|
active.
|
|
This scheme has the drawback that the encoded coordinates will
|
|
not pass through luit unchanged, e.g., for locales using non-
|
|
UTF-8 encoding.
|
|
SGR (1006)
|
|
The normal mouse response is altered to use CSI < followed by
|
|
semicolon-separated encoded button value, the Cx and Cy ordi-
|
|
nates and a final character which is M for button press and m
|
|
for button release.
|
|
o The encoded button value in this case does not add 32 since
|
|
that was useful only in the X10 scheme for ensuring that the
|
|
byte containing the button value is a printable code.
|
|
o The modifiers are encoded in the same way.
|
|
o A different final character is used for button release to
|
|
resolve the X10 ambiguity regarding which button was
|
|
released.
|
|
The highlight tracking responses are also modified to an SGR-
|
|
like format, using the same SGR-style scheme and button-encod-
|
|
ings.
|
|
URXVT (1015)
|
|
The normal mouse response is altered to use CSI followed by
|
|
semicolon-separated encoded button value, the Cx and Cy ordi-
|
|
nates and final character M .
|
|
This uses the same button encoding as X10, but printing it as
|
|
a decimal integer rather than as a single byte.
|
|
However, CSI M can be mistaken for DL (delete lines), while
|
|
the highlight tracking CSI T can be mistaken for SD (scroll
|
|
down), and the Window manipulation controls. For these rea-
|
|
sons, the 1015 control is not recommended; it is not an
|
|
improvement over 1005.

Sixel Graphics
|
|
If xterm is configured as VT240, VT241, VT330, VT340 or VT382 using the
|
|
decTerminalID resource, it supports Sixel Graphics controls, a palleted
|
|
bitmap graphics system using sets of six vertical pixels as the basic
|
|
element.
|
|
|
|
CSI Ps c xterm responds to Send Device Attributes (Primary DA) with
|
|
these additional codes:
|
|
Ps = 4 -> Sixel graphics.
|
|
CSI ? Pm h
|
|
xterm has these additional private Set Mode values:
|
|
Ps = 8 0 -> Sixel scrolling.
|
|
Ps = 1 0 7 0 -> use private color registers for each
|
|
graphic.
|
|
Ps = 8 4 5 2 -> Sixel scrolling leaves cursor to right of
|
|
graphic.
