.Sh "Control Bytes, Characters, and Sequences"
.LP
ECMA-48 (aka \*(``ISO 6429\*('') documents C1 (8-bit) and C0 (7-bit) codes.
Those are respectively codes 128 to 159 and 0 to 31.
ECMA-48 avoids referring to these codes as characters,
because that term is associated with \fIgraphic characters\fP.
Instead, it uses \*(``bytes\*('' and \*(``codes\*('',
with occasional lapses to \*(``characters\*(''
where the meaning cannot be mistaken.
.LP
Controls (including the escape code 27) are processed once:
.bP
This means that a C1 control can be mistaken for badly-formed UTF-8
when the terminal runs
in UTF-8 mode because C1 controls are valid \fIcontinuation bytes\fP of
a UTF-8 encoded (multibyte) value.
.bP
It is not possible to use a C1 control obtained from decoding the UTF-8 text,
because that would require reprocessing the data.
Consequently there is no ambiguity in the way
this document uses the term \*(``character\*('' to refer to
bytes in a control sequence.
.LP
The order of processing is a necessary consequence of the way ECMA-48
is designed:
.bP
Each byte sent to the terminal can be unambiguously determined to
fall into one of a few categories (C0, C1 and graphic characters).
.bP
ECMA-48 is \fImodal\fP; once it starts processing a control sequence,
the terminal continues until the sequence is complete,
or some byte is found which is not allowed in the sequence.
.bP
Intermediate, parameter and final bytes may
use the same codes as graphic characters,
but they are processed as part of a control sequence and are not actually
graphic characters.
.bP
Eight-bit controls can have intermediate, etc., bytes in the range 160 to 255.
Those can be treated as their counterparts in the range 32 to 127.
.bP
Single-byte controls can be handled separately from multi-byte
control sequences because ECMA-48's rules are unambiguous.
.IP
As a special case, ECMA-48 (section 9) mentions that the control functions
shift-in and shift-out are allowed to occur within a 7-bit multibyte control
sequence because those cannot alter the meaning of the control sequence.
.bP
Some controls (such as \*(Os) introduce a string mode,
which is ended on a \*(ST (string terminator).
.IP
ECMA-48 describes only correct behavior,
telling what types of characters are expected
at each stage of the control sequences.
It says that the action taken in error recovery is implementation-dependent.
\fI\*(XT\fP decodes control sequences using a state machine.
It handles errors in decoding
i.e., unexpected characters,
by resetting to the initial (ground) state.
That is different from the treatment of unimplemented
(but correctly formatted) features.
.IP
If an application does not send the string terminator, that is also an error
from the standpoint of a user.
To accommodate users of those applications, \fI\*(xt\fP has resource
settings which allow workarounds:
.RS
.bP
The Linux console's palette sequences do not use a string terminator.
The \fBbrokenLinuxOSC\fP resource setting tells \fI\*(xt\fP to ignore
those particular sequences.
.bP
The terminal should accept single-byte controls within the string.
But some applications omit a string terminator,
like the Linux console.
The \fBbrokenStringTerm\fP resource setting tells \fI\*(xt\fP to exit
string mode if it decodes a common control character such as carriage return
before the string terminator.
.RE
.
.Sh "C1 (8-Bit) Control Characters"
.LP
The \fI\*(xt\fP 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 equivalent:

.Sh "VT100 Mode"
.LP
In this document, \*(``VT100\*('' refers not only to VT100/VT102,
but also to the succession of upward-compatible terminals produced
by DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation)
from the mid-1970s for about twenty years.
For brevity, the document refers to the related models:
\*(``VT200\*('' as VT220/VT240,
\*(``VT300\*('' as VT320/VT340,
\*(``VT400\*('' as VT420, and
\*(``VT500\*('' as VT510/VT520/VT525.
.LP
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 ECMA-48 and \fIaixterm\fP color controls.
The only VT102 feature not supported is auto-repeat,
since the only way X provides for this will affect all windows.
.LP
There are additional control sequences to provide
\fI\*(xt-\fPdependent functions, such as the scrollbar or window size.
Where the function is specified by DEC or ECMA-48, the code assigned
to it is given in parentheses.
.LP
The escape codes to designate and invoke
character sets are specified by ISO 2022 (see that document for a
discussion of character sets).
.LP
Many of the features are optional;
\fI\*(xt\fP can be configured and built without support for them.

.br
The VT220 character sets,
together with a few others (such as Portuguese) are activated by
the National Replacement Character Set (NRCS) controls.
The term \*(``replacement\*('' says that the character set is formed
by replacing some of the characters in a set
(termed the \fIMultinational Character Set\fP)
with more useful ones for a given language.
The ASCII and DEC Supplemental character sets make up the two
halves of the Multinational Character set,
initially mapped to GL and GR.
.br
The valid final characters \*(Cc for this control are:
\*(Cc = \*A \(-> United Kingdom (UK), VT100.
\*(Cc = \*(cB \(-> United States (USASCII), VT100.
\*(Cc = \*C or \*5 \(-> Finnish, VT200.
\*(Cc = \*H or \*7 \(-> Swedish, VT200.

The current implementation allows reading the graphics sizes,

.bP
Graphics geometry is not necessarily the same as \*(``window size\*(''

For example, \fI\*(xt\fP limits the maximum graphics geometry at compile time
(1000x1000 as of version 328)

While resizing a window will always change the current

.sP
Some of the above note the edition of ECMA-48 which first describes
a feature.
In its successive editions from 1979 to 1991
(\fI2nd\fP 1979, \fI3rd\fP 1984, \fI4th\fP 1986, and \fI5th\fP 1991),
ECMA-48 listed codes through \*6\*5
(skipping several toward the end of the range).
Most of the ECMA-48 codes not implemented in \fI\*(xt\fP
were never implemented in a hardware terminal.
Several (such as \*3\*9 and \*4\*9) are either noted in ECMA-48
as implementation defined, or described in vague terms.
.sP
The successive editions of ECMA-48 give little attention to
changes from one edition to the next,
except to comment on features which have become obsolete.
ECMA-48 1st (1976) is unavailable;
there is no reliable source of information which states whether
\*(``ANSI\*('' color was defined in that edition,
or later (1979).
The VT100 (1978) implemented the most commonly used non-color video attributes
which are given in the 2nd edition.
.sP
While 8-color support is described in ECMA-48 2nd edition,
the VT500 series (introduced in 1993)
were the first DEC terminals implementing \*(``ANSI\*('' color.
The DEC terminal's use of color is known to differ from \fI\*(xt\fP;
useful documentation on this series
became available too late to influence \fI\*(xt\fP.
.sP
If 16-color support is compiled, the following \fIaixterm\fP controls apply.
Assume that \fI\*(xt\fP's resources
are set so that the ISO color codes are the first 8 of a set of 16.
Then the \fIaixterm\fP colors are the bright versions of the ISO colors:
.iP
\*(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\*4 \(-> Set foreground color to Blue.
\*(Ps = \*9\*5 \(-> Set foreground color to Magenta.
\*(Ps = \*9\*6 \(-> Set foreground color to Cyan.
\*(Ps = \*9\*7 \(-> Set foreground color to White.
\*(Ps = \*1\*0\*0 \(-> Set background color to Black.
\*(Ps = \*1\*0\*1 \(-> Set background color to Red.
\*(Ps = \*1\*0\*2 \(-> Set background color to Green.
\*(Ps = \*1\*0\*3 \(-> Set background color to Yellow.
\*(Ps = \*1\*0\*4 \(-> Set background 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.
.sP
If \fI\*(xt\fP is compiled with the 16-color support disabled, it supports
the following, from \fIrxvt\fP:
\*(Ps = \*1\*0\*0 \(-> Set foreground and background color to default.
.sP
\fI\*(XT\fP 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:
.RS
.bP
All parameters are decimal integers.
.bP
RGB values range from zero (0) to 255.
.bP
ISO-8613-6 has been interpreted in more than one way;
\fI\*(xt\fP allows the semicolons separating the subparameters
in this control to be replaced by colons
(but after the first colon, colons must be used).
.RE
.sP
These ISO-8613-6 controls (marked in ECMA-48 5th edition as
\*(``reserved for future standardization\*('')
are supported by \fI\*(xt\fP:
\*(Pm = \*3\*8\*;\*2\*;\*(Pi\*s\*;\*(Pr\*s\*;\*(Pg\*s\*;\*(Pb \(-> Set foreground
color using RGB values.
If \fI\*(xt\fP is not compiled with direct-color support,
it uses the closest match in its palette

The color space identifier \*(Pi is ignored.
\*(Pm = \*3\*8\*;\*5\*;\*(Ps \(-> Set foreground color to \*(Ps,

\*(Pm = \*4\*8\*;\*2\*;\*(Pi\*s\*;\*(Pr\*s\*;\*(Pg\*s\*;\*(Pb \(-> Set background

\*(Pm = \*4\*8\*;\*5\*;\*(Ps \(-> Set background color to \*(Ps,

.sP
This variation on ISO-8613-6 is supported for compatibility with KDE konsole:
\*(Pm = \*3\*8\*;\*2\*;\*(Pr\*s\*;\*(Pg\*s\*;\*(Pb \(-> Set foreground color
using RGB values.
If \fI\*(xt\fP is not compiled with direct-color support,

\*(Pm = \*4\*8\*;\*2\*;\*(Pr\*s\*;\*(Pg\*s\*;\*(Pb \(-> Set background color
using RGB values.
If \fI\*(xt\fP is not compiled with direct-color support,
it uses the closest match in its palette
for the given RGB \*(Pr/\*(Pg/\*(Pb.
.sP
In each case,
if \fI\*(xt\fP is compiled with direct-color support,
and the resource \fBdirectColor\fP is true, then
rather than choosing the closest match,
\fI\*(xt\fP asks the X server to directly render a given color.

.Sh "Alt and Meta Keys"
.LP
Many keyboards have keys labeled \*(``Alt\*(''.
Few have keys labeled \*(``Meta\*(''.
However, \fI\*(xt\fP's default translations use the \fIMeta\fP modifier.
Common keyboard configurations assign the \fIMeta\fP modifier
to an \*(``Alt\*('' key.
By using \fIxmodmap\fP one may have the modifier assigned to a different key,
and have \*(``real\*('' alt and meta keys.
Here is an example:
.ID
.ft CW
! 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
.ft 1
.DE
.LP
The \fBmetaSendsEscape\fP resource
(and \fBaltSendsEscape\fP if \fBaltIsNotMeta\fP is set)
can be used to control the way the \fIMeta\fP modifier applies to ordinary
keys unless the \fBmodifyOtherKeys\fP resource is set:
.bP
prefix a key with the \*(Es character.
.bP
shift the key from codes 0-127 to 128-255 by adding 128.
.LP
When \fBmodifyOtherKeys\fP is set,
ordinary keys may be sent as escape sequences:
.bP
When \fBmodifyOtherKeys\fP is set to 1,
only the alt- and meta-modifiers apply.
For example, \fIalt-Tab\fP sends
\*(Cs\*2\*7\*;\*3\*;\*9\*~
(the second parameter is \*(``3\*('' for \fIalt\fP,
and the third parameter is the ASCII value of tab, \*(``9\*('').
.bP
When \fBmodifyOtherKeys\fP is set to 2,
all of the modifiers apply.
For example, \fIshift-Tab\fP sends
\*(Cs\*2\*7\*;\*2\*;\*9\*~
rather than
\*(Cs\*Z
(the second parameter is \*(``2\*('' for \fIshift\fP).
.LP
The \fBformatOtherKeys\fP resource tells \fI\*n\fP to change the
format of the escape sequences sent when \fBmodifyOtherKeys\fP applies.
When \fBmodifyOtherKeys\fP is set to 1,
for example \fIalt-Tab\fP sends
\*(Cs\*9\*;\*3\*u
(changing the order of parameters).
One drawback to this format is that applications may confuse it with
\*(Cs\*u (restore-cursor).

The codes used for the \fIPC-style function keys\fP were inspired
by a feature of the VT510, referred to in its reference manual as DECFNK.
In the DECFNK scheme, codes 2-8 identify modifiers for function-keys
and cursor-, editing-keypad keys.
Unlike \fI\*(xt\fP, the VT510 limits the modifiers which can be used
with cursor- and editing-keypad keys.
Although the name \*(``DECFNK\*('' implies that it is a mode,
the VT510 manual mentions it only as a feature,
which (like \fI\*(xt\fP) interacts with the DECUDK feature.
Unlike \fI\*(xt\fP, VT510/VT520 provide an extension to DECUDK
(DECPFK and DECPAK)
which apparently was the reason for the feature in those terminals,
i.e., for identifying a programmable key
rather than making it simple for applications to obtain modifier information.
It is not described in the related VT520 manual.
Neither manual was readily available
at the time the feature was added to \fI\*(xt\fP.
.LP
On the other hand, the VT510 and VT520 reference manuals
do document a related feature.
That is its emulation of the SCO console,
which is similar to the \*(``xterm-sco\*('' terminal description.
The SCO console function-keys are less useful to
applications developers than the approach used by \fI\*(xt\fP because
.bP
the relationship between modifiers and the characters sent by function-keys
is not readily apparent, and
.bP
the scheme is not extensible, i.e., it is an \fIad hoc\fP
assignment limited to two modifiers (\fIshift\fP and \fIcontrol\fP).

The \fBtiteInhibit\fP resource removes the \fIti\fP and \fIte\fP strings
from the TERMCAP string which is set in the environment for some platforms.
That is not done when \fI\*(xt\fP 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 terminfo anyway, since terminfo data is not passed
in environment variables;
setting an environment variable in this manner would have no effect on
the application's ability to switch
between \fINormal\fP and \fIAlternate Screen\fP buffers.
Instead, the newer private mode controls
(such as \*1\*0\*4\*9)
for switching between \fINormal\fP
and \fIAlternate Screen\fP buffers simply disable the switching.
They add other features such as clearing the display for the same reason:
to make the details of switching independent of the application that
requests the switch.
.
.Sh "Bracketed Paste Mode"
.LP
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:
\*(Es\*([[\*2\*0\*0\*~,
.br
followed by the pasted text, followed by
\*(Es\*([[\*2\*0\*1\*~.
.
.Sh "Title Modes"
.LP
The window- and icon-labels can be set or queried using control sequences.
As a VT220-emulator, \fI\*(xt\fP \*(``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 applications which still assume that titles are
set using ISO-8859-1.
So that is the default behavior.
.LP
If \fI\*(xt\fP 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.
.LP
The \fButf8Title\fP X resource setting tells \fI\*(xt\fP 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.
.LP
Separate from the ability to set the titles,
\fI\*(xt\fP provides the ability to query the titles,
returning them either in ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8.
This choice is available only while \fI\*(xt\fP is using UTF-8 encoding.
.LP
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,
\fI\*(xt\fP has an optional feature which decodes the string from hexadecimal
(for setting titles) or for encoding the title into hexadecimal when querying
the value.
.
.Sh "Mouse Tracking"
.LP
The VT widget can be set to send the mouse position and other
information on button presses.
These modes are typically used by
editors and other full-screen applications that want to make use of
the mouse.
.LP
There are two sets of mutually exclusive modes:
.bP
mouse protocol
.bP
protocol encoding
.LP
The mouse protocols include
DEC Locator mode, enabled by the
DECELR \*(Cs\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*(qu\*s\*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 \*(Cs\*?\*(Pm\*s\*h\*(''
or
\*(``DECRST \*(Cs\*?\*(Pm\*s\*l\*(''
control sequence.
.LP
Manifest constants for the parameter values
are defined in \fIxcharmouse.h\fP as follows:
.
.ID
.ft CW
#define SET_X10_MOUSE 9
#define SET_VT200_MOUSE 1000
#define SET_VT200_HIGHLIGHT_MOUSE 1001
#define SET_BTN_EVENT_MOUSE 1002

#define SET_URXVT_EXT_MODE_MOUSE 1015
.sP
#define SET_ALTERNATE_SCROLL 1007
.ft 1
.DE
.br
The motion reporting modes are strictly \fI\*(xt\fP extensions, and are not
part of any standard, though they are analogous to the DEC VT200 DECELR
locator reports.
.LP
Normally,
parameters (such as pointer position and button number) for all mouse
tracking escape sequences generated by \fI\*(xt\fP
encode numeric parameters in a single character as
\fIvalue\fP+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.
.Ss X10 compatibility mode
.LP
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, \fI\*(xt\fP sends
\*(Cs\*M\*(Cb\*(Cx\*(Cy (6 characters).
.bP
\*(Cb is \fIbutton\fP\-1, where \fIbutton\fP is 1, 2 or 3.
.bP
\*(Cx and \*(Cy are the \fIx\fP and \fIy\fP coordinates of the mouse when the
button was pressed.
.Ss Normal tracking mode
.LP
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, \fI\*(xt\fP sends
\*(Cs\*M\*(Cb\*(Cx\*(Cy.
.bP
The low two bits of \*(Cb encode button information:
0=MB1 pressed, 1=MB2 pressed, 2=MB3 pressed, 3=release.
.bP
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 \fI\*(xt\fP uses the control modifier with mouse for popup menus,
and the shift modifier is used in the default translations for button events.
The \fIMeta\fP modifier recognized by \fI\*(xt\fP is the \fImod1\fP mask,
and is not necessarily the \*(``Meta\*('' key (see \fBxmodmap\fP(1)).
.bP
\*(Cx and \*(Cy are the x and y coordinates of the mouse event, encoded as
in X10 mode.
.Ss Wheel mice
.LP
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 \fIscroll-back\fP
and \fIscroll-forw\fP actions.
Those actions normally scroll the whole window,
as if the scrollbar was used.
However if \fIAlternate Scroll\fP mode is set,
then cursor up/down controls are sent when the terminal is displaying
the \fIAlternate Screen Buffer\fP.
The initial state of \fIAlternate Scroll\fP mode is set
using the \fBalternateScroll\fP resource.
.Ss Other buttons
.LP
Additional buttons are encoded like the wheel mice,
.bP
by adding 64 (for buttons 6 and 7), or
.bP
by adding 128 (for buttons 8 through 11).
.LP
Past button 11, the encoding is ambiguous because the same code
may correspond to different button/modifier combinations.
It is not possible to use these buttons (6-11) in \fI\*(xt\fP's
\fBtranslations\fP resource because their names are not in the X Toolkit's
symbol table.
.Ss Highlight tracking
.LP
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 button events
can be received.
.sP
\fBWarning\fP:
this mode requires a cooperating program, else \fI\*(xt\fP will hang.
.LP
On button press, the same information as for normal tracking is
generated; \fI\*(xt\fP then waits for the program to send mouse
tracking information.
\fIAll X events are ignored until the proper escape sequence is\fP
\fIreceived from the pty:\fP
.br
\*(Cs\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*T
.LP
The parameters are \fIfunc, startx, starty, firstrow,\fP and \fIlastrow\fP:
.bP
\fIfunc\fP is non-zero to initiate highlight tracking and zero to abort.
.bP
\fIstartx\fP and \fIstarty\fP give the starting x and y location for
the highlighted region.
.bP
The ending location tracks the mouse, but
will never be above row \fIfirstrow\fP and will always be above row
\fIlastrow.\fP
(The top of the screen is row 1.)
.LP
When the button is released, \fI\*(xt\fP reports the ending position
one of two ways:
.bP
if the start and end coordinates are the same locations:
.sP
\*(Cs\*t\*(Cx\*(Cy
.bP
otherwise:
.sP
\*(Cs\*T\*(Cx\*(Cy\*(Cx\*(Cy\*(Cx\*(Cy
.LP
The parameters are \fIstartx, starty, endx, endy, mousex,\fP and \fImousey\fP:
.bP
\fIstartx, starty, endx, \fPand\fI endy\fP give the starting and
ending character positions of the region.
.bP
\fImousex\fP and \fImousey\fP
give the location of the mouse at button up, which may not be over a
character.
.Ss Button-event tracking
.LP
Button-event tracking is essentially the same as normal tracking, but
\fI\*(xt\fP 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, \fI\*(xt\fP sends the same codes used by normal
tracking mode.
.bP
On button-motion events, \fI\*(xt\fP adds 32 to the event code
(the third character, \*(Cb).
.bP
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
.sP
\*(Cs\*M\*@\*(Cx\*(Cy
.sP
(\ \*@ = 32 + 0 (button 1) + 32 (motion indicator)\ ).
Similarly, motion with button 3
down is reported as
.sP
\*(Cs\*M\*(cB\*(Cx\*(Cy
.sP
(\ \*(cB = 32 + 2 (button 3) + 32 (motion indicator)\ ).
.Ss Any-event tracking
.LP
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.
.Ss FocusIn/FocusOut
.LP
FocusIn/FocusOut can be combined with any of the mouse events since
it uses a different protocol.
When set, it causes \fI\*(xt\fP to send
\*(Cs\*I when the terminal gains focus, and
\*(Cs\*O when it loses focus.
.Ss Extended coordinates
.LP
The original X10 mouse protocol limits the \*(Cx and \*(Cy ordinates
to 223 (=255\ -\ 32).
\fI\*(XT\fP supports more than one scheme for extending this range,
by changing the protocol encoding:
.IP "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, positions greater than 95
generate \*(``extra\*('' bytes which will confuse
applications which do not treat their input as a UTF-8 stream.
Likewise, \*(Cb will be UTF-8 encoded,
to reduce confusion with wheel mouse events.
.IP
Under normal mouse mode, positions outside (160,94) result in
byte pairs which can be interpreted as a single UTF-8 character;
applications
which do treat their input as UTF-8 will almost certainly be confused
unless extended mouse mode is active.
.IP
This scheme has the drawback that the encoded coordinates will not
pass through \fBluit\fP(1) unchanged,
e.g., for locales using non-UTF-8 encoding.
.IP "SGR (1006)"
The normal mouse response is altered to use
.RS
.bP
\*(Cs\*<
followed by semicolon-separated
.bP
encoded button value,
.bP
\*(Px and \*(Py ordinates and
.bP
a final character which
is \*M for button press
and \*m for button release.
.RE
.IP
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.
.RS
.bP
The modifiers are encoded in the same way.
.bP
A different final character is used for button release
to resolve the X10 ambiguity regarding which button was released.
.RE
.IP
The highlight tracking responses are also modified to an SGR-like format,
using the same SGR-style scheme and button-encodings.
.IP "URXVT (1015)"
The normal mouse response is altered to use
.RS
.bP
\*(Cs
followed by semicolon-separated
.bP
encoded button value,
.bP
the \*(Px and \*(Py ordinates and final character \*M.
.RE
.IP
This uses the same button encoding as X10, but printing it as
a decimal integer rather than as a single byte.
.IP
However, \*(Cs\*M can be mistaken for DL (delete lines),
while the highlight tracking \*(Cs\*T can be mistaken for SD (scroll down),
and the Window manipulation controls.
For these reasons, the 1015 control is not recommended;
it is not an improvement over 1005.

Most of these sequences are standard Tektronix 4014 control sequences.
Graph mode supports the 12-bit addressing of the Tektronix 4014.

.Sh "Further reading"
.Ss "Technical manuals"
.LP
Manuals for \fIhardware\fP terminals are more readily available than
similarly-detailed documentation for terminal \fIemulators\fP
such as \fIaixterm\fP, \fIshelltool\fP, \fIdtterm\fP.
.LP
However long, the technical manuals have problems:
.bP
DEC's manuals did not provide a comprehensive comparison of the features
in different model.
.IP
Peter Sichel's \fIHost Interface Functions Checklist\fP
spreadsheet is useful for noting
which model introduced a given feature (although there are a few apparent
errors such as the DECRQSS feature cited for VT320
whereas the technical manual omits it).
.bP
Sometimes the manuals disagree.
For example, DEC's standard document (DEC STD 070) for terminals says
that DECSCL performs a \fIsoft\fP reset (DECSTR),
while the VT420 manual says it does a \fIhard\fP reset (RIS).
.bP
Sometimes the manuals are simply incorrect.
For example, testing a DEC VT420 in 1996 showed that the documented
code for a valid or invalid response to DECRQSS was reversed.
.IP
The VT420 test results were incorporated into \fIvttest\fP program.
At the time, DEC STD 070 was not available,
but it also agrees with \fIvttest\fP.
Later, documentation for the DEC VT525 was shown to have the same flaw.
.bP
Not all details are clear even in DEC STD 070
(which is more than twice the length of the
VT520 programmer's reference manual,
and almost three times longer than the VT420 reference manual).
However, as an internal standards document,
DEC STD 070 is more likely to describe the actual behavior of DEC's terminals
than the more polished user's guides.
.LP
That said, here are technical manuals
which have been used in developing \fI\*(xt\fP.
Not all were available initially.
In August 1996 for instance, the technical references were
limited to
EK-VT220-HR-002 and
EK-VT420-UG.002.
Shortly after,
Richard Shuford sent a copy of
EK-VT3XX-TP-001.

.Ss "Standards"
.LP
The DEC terminal family (VT100 through VT525) is upward-compatible,
using standards plus \fIextensions\fP, e.g., \*(``private modes\*(''.
Not all commonly-used features are standard.
For example, scrolling regions are not found in ECMA-48.
.LP
Again, it is possible to find discrepancies in the standards:
.bP
The printed ECMA-48 5th edition (1991)
and the first PDF produced for that edition (April 1998)
state that SD (scroll down) ends with 05/14, i.e., \*^,
which disagrees with DEC's VT420 hardware implementation and
DEC's manuals which use 05/04 \*T.
(A few other terminals such as AT&T 5620 and IBM 5151 also used 05/04,
but the documentation and dates are lacking).
.IP
ECMA created a new PDF in April 2003 which changed that detail to use \*T,
and later in 2008 provided PDFs of the earlier editions which used \*T.
.bP
The VT320, VT420, VT520 manuals claim that DECSCL does a
hard reset (RIS).
.IP
Both the VT220 manual and DEC STD 070 (which documents
levels 1-4 in detail) state that it is a soft reset, e.g., DECSTR.
.LP
Here are the relevant standards:

.Ss "Miscellaneous"
.LP
A few hardware terminals survived into the 1990s only as terminal emulators.
Documentation for these and other terminal emulators
which have influenced \fI\*(xt\fP
are generally available only in
less-accessible and less-detailed manual pages.
.bP
\fI\*(XT\fP supports control sequences for manipulating its \fIwindow\fP
which were implemented by Sun's \fIshelltool\fP program.
This was part of SunView (SunOS 3.0, 1986).
The change-notes for \fI\*(xt\fP's \fIresize\fP program in X10.4 (1986)
mention its use of these \*(``Sun tty emulation escape sequences\*(''
for resizing the window.
The X10.4 \fI\*(xt\fP program recognized these sequences for resizing
the terminal, except for the iconfig/deiconfy pair.
SunView also introduced the SIGWINCH signal,
used by the X10.4 \fI\*(xt\fP and mentioned in its \fICHANGES\fP file:
.iP
.RS
The window size is passed to the operating system via TIOCSWINSZ (4.3) or
TIOCSSIZE (sun).
A SIGWINCH signal is sent if the vtXXX window is resized.
.RE
.IP
While support for the Sun control-sequences remained in \fIresize\fP,
the next release of \fI\*(xt\fP (X11R1 in 1987)
omitted the code for interpreting them.
.IP
Later, the SunView program was adapted for
the \fIOPEN LOOK\fP environment introduced 1988-1990.
.IP
Still later, in 1995, \fIOPEN LOOK\fP was abandoned in favor of \fICDE\fP.
The \fICDE\fP terminal emulator \fIdtterm\fP implemented those controls,
with a couple of additions.
.IP
Starting in July 1996,
\fI\*(xt\fP re-implemented those control sequences
(based on the \fIdtterm\fP manual pages)
and further extended the group of window controls.
.IP
There were two sets of controls
(\*(Cs\*(Ps[\*s\*;\*(Pm\*s\*;\*(Pm]\*t,
and \*(Os\*(Ps\fItext\fP\*(ST) implemented
by \fIshelltool\fP, documented in appendix E of both
\fIPHIGS Programming Manual\fP (1992), and the unpublished
\fIX Window System User's Guide (OPEN LOOK Edition)\fP (1995).
The \fICDE\fP program kept those,
and added a few new ones.

.TE
.br
Besides the Sun-derived OSC controls for setting window title and icon label,
\fIdtterm\fP also supported the \fI\*(xt\fP controls for the same feature.
.IP
The \fICDE\fP source was unavailable for inspection until 2012,
so that clarification of the details of the window operations
relied upon \fIvttest\fP.
.bP
The control sequences for saving/restoring the cursor and
for saving/restoring \*(``DEC Private Mode Values\*('' may appear to be
related (since the \*(``save\*('' controls both end with \*(cs),
but that is coincidental.
The latter was introduced in X10.4:
.iP
.RS
.ft C
.na
.hy 0
Most Dec Private mode settings can be save away internally using \\E[?ns,
where n is the same number to set or reset the Dec Private mode. The
mode can be restored using \\E[?nr. This can be used in termcap for vi, for
example, to turn off saving of lines, but restore whatever the original
state was on exit.

while the SCOSC/SCORC pair was added in 1995 by XFree86
(and documented long afterwards).
.bP
The \fIaixterm\fP manual page gives the format of the control sequence
for foreground and background colors 8-15,
but does not specify what those colors are.
That is implied by the description's mention of \fIHFT\fP:
.iP
.RS
.na
.hy 0
.ft C
The aixterm command provides a standard terminal type for programs that
do not interact directly with Enhanced X-Windows.
This command provides
an emulation for a VT102 terminal or a high function terminal (HFT).
The VT102 mode is activated by the -v flag.
.ft R
.ad
.RE
.hy
.IP
Unlike \fI\*(xt\fP, there are no resource names for the 16 colors,
leaving the reader to assume that the mapping is hard-coded.
The control sequences for colors 8-15 are not specified by ECMA-48,
but rather (as done in other instances by \fI\*(xt\fP) chosen to
not conflict with current or future standards.
