Xterm Control Sequences .AU Edward Moy .AI University of California, Berkeley Revised by .AU Stephen Gildea .AI X Consortium (1994) .AU Thomas Dickey .AI XFree86 Project (1996-2006) invisible-island.net (2006-2010) .AU . .am BT \" add page numbers after first page .. .Sh "Definitions" The literal character c. A single (required) character. A single (usually optional) numeric parameter, composed of one of more digits. A multiple numeric parameter composed of any number of single numeric parameters, separated by \*; character(s). Individual values for the parameters are listed with \*(Ps . A text parameter composed of printable characters. . .Sh "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 equivalent: .St

Index (\*(ID is 0x84). Next Line (\*(Nl is 0x85). Tab Set (\*(Ht is 0x88). Reverse Index (\*(RI is 0x8d). Single Shift Select of G2 Character Set (\*(S2 is 0x8e). This affects next character only. Single Shift Select of G3 Character Set (\*(S3 is 0x8f). This affects next character only. Device Control String (\*(Dc is 0x90). Start of Guarded Area (\*(Sg is 0x96). End of Guarded Area (\*(Eg is 0x97). Start of String (\*(SS is 0x98). Return Terminal ID (DECID is 0x9a). Obsolete form of \*(Cs\*c (DA). Control Sequence Introducer (\*(Cs is 0x9b). String Terminator (\*(ST is 0x9c). Operating System Command (\*(Os is 0x9d). Privacy Message (\*(PM is 0x9e). Application Program Command (\*(AP is 0x9f). .Ed

These control characters are used in the vtXXX emulation. . .Sh "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 feature 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 discussion of character sets. . .St
.Ss Single-character functions

Bell (Ctrl-G). . Backspace (Ctrl-H). . Carriage Return (Ctrl-M). . Return Terminal Status (Ctrl-E). Default response is an empty string, but may be overridden by a resource answerbackString. . Form Feed or New Page (NP). Ctrl-L is treated the same as LF. . Line Feed or New Line (NL). (LF is Ctrl-J). . Shift In (Ctrl-O) \(-> Switch to Standard Character Set. This invokes the G0 character set (the default). . Shift Out (Ctrl-N) \(-> Switch to Alternate Character Set. This invokes the G1 character set. . Space. . Horizontal Tab (HT) (Ctrl-I). . Vertical Tab (Ctrl-K). This is treated the same as LF. .Ed


.St .Ss 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).

7-bit controls (S7C1T). . 8-bit controls (S8C1T). . Set ANSI conformance level 1 (dpANS X3.134.1). . Set ANSI conformance level 2 (dpANS X3.134.1). . Set ANSI conformance level 3 (dpANS X3.134.1). . DEC double-height line, top half (DECDHL). . DEC double-height line, bottom half (DECDHL). . DEC single-width line (DECSWL). . DEC double-width line (DECDWL). . DEC Screen Alignment Test (DECALN). . Select default character set. That is ISO 8859-1 (ISO 2022). . Select UTF-8 character set (ISO 2022). . Designate G0 Character Set (ISO 2022, VT100).

Final character \*(Cc for designating 94-character sets. In this list, \*0, \*A and \*(cB apply to VT100 and up, the remainder to VT220 and up: \*(Cc = \*0 \(-> DEC Special Character and Line Drawing Set. \*(Cc = \*A \(-> United Kingdom (UK). \*(Cc = \*(cB \(-> United States (USASCII). \*(Cc = \*4 \(-> Dutch. \*(Cc = \*C or \*5 \(-> Finnish. \*(Cc = \*R \(-> French. \*(Cc = \*Q \(-> French Canadian. \*(Cc = \*K \(-> German. \*(Cc = \*Y \(-> Italian. \*(Cc = \*E or \*6 \(-> Norwegian/Danish. \*(Cc = \*Z \(-> Spanish. \*(Cc = \*H or \*7 \(-> Swedish. \*(Cc = \*= \(-> Swiss. VT3xx and VT5xx (see vttest) add more selections, not implemented here.

Designate G1 Character Set (ISO 2022, VT100).

The same character sets apply as for \*(Es\*(((\*(Cc. .

Designate G2 Character Set (ISO 2022, VT220).

The same character sets apply as for \*(Es\*(((\*(Cc. .

Designate G3 Character Set (ISO 2022, VT220).

The same character sets apply as for \*(Es\*(((\*(Cc. .

Designate G1 Character Set (VT300).

The same character sets apply as for \*(Es\*(((\*(Cc. .

Designate G2 Character Set (VT300).

The same character sets apply as for \*(Es\*(((\*(Cc. .

Designate G3 Character Set (VT300).

These work for 96-character sets only. \*(Cc = \*A \(-> ISO Latin-1 Supplemental. VT5xx would implement these:
\*(Cc = \*F \(-> ISO Greek Supplemental
\*(Cc = \*H \(-> ISO Hebrew Supplemental
\*(Cc = \*M \(-> ISO Latin-5 Supplemental
\*(Cc = \*L \(-> ISO Latin-Cyrillic
.

Save Cursor (DECSC). . Restore Cursor (DECRC). . Application Keypad (DECPAM). . Normal Keypad (DECPNM). . Cursor to lower left corner of screen. This is enabled by the hpLowerleftBugCompat resource. . Full Reset (RIS). . Memory Lock (per HP terminals). Locks memory above the cursor. . Memory Unlock (per HP terminals). . Invoke the G2 Character Set as GL (LS2). . Invoke the G3 Character Set as GL (LS3). . Invoke the G3 Character Set as GR (LS3R). . Invoke the G2 Character Set as GR (LS2R). . Invoke the G1 Character Set as GR (LS1R). .Ed . .St .Ss Application Program-Control functions None. xterm implements no \*(AP functions; \*(Pt is ignored. \*(Pt need not be printable characters. .Ed . .St .Ss Device-Control functions 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). .

Request Status String (DECRQSS). The string following the "q" is one of the following: \*(c"\*q \(-> DECSCA \*(c"\*p \(-> DECSCL \*r \(-> DECSTBM \*m \(-> SGR

xterm responds with \*(Dc\*1\*$\*r\*(Pt\*s\*(ST for valid requests, replacing the \*(Pt with the corresponding \*(Cs string, or \*(Dc\*0\*$\*r\*(Pt\*s\*(ST for invalid requests. .

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. . 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.

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 \*(Dc\*1\*+\*r\*(Pt\*s\*(ST for valid requests, adding to \*(Pt an \*=, and the value of the corresponding string that xterm would send, or \*(Dc\*0\*+\*r\*(Pt\*s\*(ST for invalid requests. The strings are encoded in hexadecimal (2 digits per character). .Ed

Scroll down \*(Ps lines (default = 1) (SD). . Initiate highlight mouse tracking. Parameters are [func;startx;starty;firstrow;lastrow]. See the section Mouse Tracking. . Reset one or more features of the title modes to the default value. Normally, "reset" disables the feature. It is possible 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 hexadecimal. \*(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"). . Erase \*(Ps Character(s) (default = 1) (ECH). . Cursor Backward Tabulation \*(Ps tab stops (default = 1) (CBT). . Character Position Absolute [column] (default = [row,1]) (HPA). . Repeat the preceding graphic character \*(Ps times (REP). . Send Device Attributes (Primary DA). \*(Ps = \*0 or omitted \(-> request attributes from terminal. The response depends on the decTerminalID resource setting. \(-> \*(Cs\*?\*1\*;\*2\*c (``VT100 with Advanced Video Option'') \(-> \*(Cs\*?\*1\*;\*0\*c (``VT101 with No Options'') \(-> \*(Cs\*?\*6\*c (``VT102'') \(-> \*(Cs\*?\*6\*0\*;\*1\*;\*2\*;\*6\*;\*8\*;\*9\*;\*1\*5\*;\*c (``VT220'')

The VT100-style response parameters do not mean anything by themselves. VT220 parameters do, telling the host what features the terminal supports: \*(Ps = \*1 \(-> 132-columns. \*(Ps = \*2 \(-> Printer. \*(Ps = \*6 \(-> Selective erase. \*(Ps = \*8 \(-> User-defined keys. \*(Ps = \*9 \(-> National replacement character sets. \*(Ps = \*1\*5 \(-> Technical characters. \*(Ps = \*2\*2 \(-> ANSI color, e.g., VT525. \*(Ps = \*2\*9 \(-> ANSI text locator (i.e., DEC Locator mode). .

Send Device Attributes (Secondary DA). \*(Ps = \*0 or omitted \(-> request the terminal's identification code. The response depends on the decTerminalID resource setting. It should apply only to VT220 and up, but xterm extends this to VT100. \(-> \*(Cs\*s\*>\*(Pp\*s\*;\*(Pv\*s\*;\*(Pc\*s\*c

where \*(Pp denotes the terminal type \*(Pp = \*0 \(-> ``VT100''. \*(Pp = \*1 \(-> ``VT220''.

and \*(Pv is the firmware version (for xterm, this was originally the XFree86 patch number, starting with 95). In a DEC terminal, \*(Pc indicates the ROM cartridge registration number and is always zero. .

- prefix a key with the \*(Es character. - shift the key from codes 0-127 to 128-255 by adding 128. .lP 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:

key altSendsEscape metaSendsEscape result

x off off x

Meta-x off off shift

Alt-x off off shift

Alt+Meta-x off off shift

x ON off x

Meta-x ON off shift

Alt-x ON off \*(Es x

Alt+Meta-x ON off \*(Es shift

x off ON x

Meta-x off ON \*(Es x

Alt-x off ON shift

Alt+Meta-x off ON \*(Es shift

x ON ON x

Meta-x ON ON \*(Es x

Alt-x ON ON \*(Es x

Alt+Meta-x ON ON \*(Es x

.Sh "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. .lP 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. .lP The cursor keys transmit the following escape sequences depending on the mode specified via the DECCKM escape sequence.

Key Normal Application

Cursor Up \*(Cs\*A \*(S3\*A

Cursor Down \*(Cs\*(cB \*(S3\*(cB

Cursor Right \*(Cs\*C \*(S3\*C

Cursor Left \*(Cs\*D \*(S3\*D

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 also controlled by the DECCKM escape sequence:

Key Normal Application

Home \*(Cs\*H \*(S3\*H

End \*(Cs\*F \*(S3\*F

.lP The application keypad transmits the following escape sequences depending on the mode specified via the DECPNM and DECPAM escape sequences. Use the NumLock key to override the application mode. .lP Not all keys are present on the Sun/PC keypad (e.g., PF1, Tab), but are supported by the program.

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. .lP The VT102/VT220 application keypad transmits unique escape sequences in application mode, which are distinct from the cursor and scrolling keypad:

.Sh "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. .lP Only function keys are altered; keypad and cursor keys are the same. The emulation responds identically. See the xterm-sun terminfo entry for details. .Sh "HP-Style Function Keys"

Similarly, xterm can be compiled to support HP keyboards. See the xterm-hp terminfo entry for details. .Sh "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. .lP 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 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 normal and alternate screen buffers. Instead, the newer private mode controls (such as \*1\*0\*4\*9) for switching between normal and alternate screen 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"

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 ~. . .Sh "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 applications which still assume that titles are set using ISO-8859-1. So that is the default behavior. .lP 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. .lP 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. .lP 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. .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, 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. . .Sh "Mouse Tracking"

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 six mutually exclusive modes. One is DEC Locator mode, enabled by the DECELR \*(Cs\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*s\*(qu\*s\*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 the "DECSET \*(Cs\*?\*(Pm\*s\*h" or "DECRST \*(Cs\*?\*(Pm\*s\*l" control sequence. .lP Manifest constants for the parameter values are defined in xcharmouse.h as follows: . B #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

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. .lP 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. .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, xterm sends \*(Cs\*M\*(Cb\*(Cx\*(Cy (6 characters). .bP \*(Cb is button-1. .bP \*(Cx and \*(Cy are the x and y coordinates of the mouse when the button was pressed. .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, xterm 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 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). .bP \*(Cx and \*(Cy are the x and y coordinates of the mouse event, encoded as in X10 mode. .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. .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 Warning: use of this mode requires a cooperating program or it will hang xterm. .sP On button press, the same information 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: \*(Cs\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*;\*(Ps\*s\*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: .bP if the start and end coordinates are the same locations:

\*(Cs\*t\*(Cx\*(Cy. .bP otherwise:

\*(Cs\*T\*(Cx\*(Cy\*(Cx\*(Cy\*(Cx\*(Cy.

The parameters are startx, starty, endx, endy, mousex, and mousey.

.lP 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. .bP On button-motion events, xterm 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 \*(Cs\*M\*@\*(Cx\*(Cy. ( \*@ = 32 + 0 (button 1) + 32 (motion indicator) ). Similarly, motion with button 3 down is reported as \*(Cs\*M\*(cB\*(Cx\*(Cy. ( \*(cB = 32 + 2 (button 3) + 32 (motion indicator) ). .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. .lP FocusIn/FocusOut can be combined with any of the mouse events since it uses a different protocol. When set, it causes xterm to send \*(Cs\*I when the terminal gains focus, and \*(Cs\*O when it loses focus. .lP Extended mouse mode 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. .lP NOTE: 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. . .Sh "Tektronix 4014 Mode"
