25853 | 1 This file describes what you must or might want to do to termcap entries |
2 to make terminals work properly and efficiently with Emacs. Information | |
3 on likely problems with specific types of terminals appears at the end | |
4 of the file. | |
5 | |
6 *** What you want in a terminal *** | |
7 | |
8 Vital | |
9 1. Easy to compute suitable padding for. | |
10 2. Never ever sends ^S/^Q unless you type them, at least in one mode. | |
11 | |
12 Nice for speed | |
13 1. Supports insert/delete of multiple lines in one command. | |
14 2. Same for multiple characters, though doing them one by | |
15 one is usually fast enough except on emulators running on | |
16 machines with bitmap screens. | |
17 | |
18 Nice for usability | |
19 1. Considerably more than 24 lines. | |
20 2. Meta key (shift-like key that controls the 0200 bit | |
21 in every character you type). | |
22 | |
23 *** New termcap strings *** | |
24 | |
25 Emacs supports certain termcap strings that are not described in the | |
26 4.2 manual but appear to be standard in system V. The one exception | |
27 is `cS', which I invented. | |
28 | |
29 `AL' insert several lines. Takes one parameter, the number of | |
30 lines to be inserted. You specify how to send this parameter | |
31 using a %-construct, just like the cursor positions in the `cm' | |
32 string. | |
33 | |
34 `DL' delete several lines. One parameter. | |
35 | |
36 `IC' insert several characters. One parameter. | |
37 | |
38 `DC' delete several characters. One parameter. | |
39 | |
40 `rp' repeat a character. Takes two parameters, the character | |
41 to be repeated and the number of times to repeat it. | |
42 Most likely you will use `%.' for sending the character | |
43 to be repeated. Emacs interprets a padding spec with a * | |
44 as giving the amount of padding per repetition. | |
45 | |
46 WARNING: Many terminals have a command to repeat the | |
47 *last character output* N times. This means that the character | |
48 will appear N+1 times in a row when the command argument is N. | |
49 However, the `rp' string's parameter is the total number of | |
50 times wanted, not one less. Therefore, such repeat commands | |
51 may be used in an `rp' string only if you use Emacs's special | |
52 termcap operator `%a-c\001' to subtract 1 from the repeat count | |
53 before substituting it into the string. It is probably safe | |
54 to use this even though the Unix termcap does not accept it | |
55 because programs other than Emacs probably won't look for `rp' | |
56 anyway. | |

57 |
25853 | 58 `cs' set scroll region. Takes two parameters, the vertical |
59 positions of the first line to include in the scroll region | |
60 and the last line to include in the scroll region. | |
61 Both parameters are origin-zero. The effect of this | |
62 should be to cause a following insert-line or delete-line | |
63 not to move lines below the bottom of the scroll region. | |
64 | |
65 This is not the same convention that Emacs version 16 used. | |
66 That is because I was led astray by unclear documentation | |
67 of the meaning of %i in termcap strings. Since the termcap | |
68 documentation for `cs' is also unclear, I had to deduce the | |
69 correct parameter conventions from what would make the VT-100's | |
70 `cs' string work properly. From an incorrect assumption about | |
71 %i, I reached an incorrect conclusion about `cs', but the result | |
72 worked correctly on the VT100 and ANSII terminals. In Emacs | |
73 version 17, both `cs' and %i work correctly. | |
74 | |
75 The version 16 convention was to pass, for the second parameter, | |
76 the line number of the first line beyond the end of the | |
77 scroll region. | |
78 | |
79 `cS' set scroll region. Differs from `cs' in taking parameters | |
80 differently. There are four parameters: | |
81 1. Total number of lines on the screen. | |
82 2. Number of lines above desired scroll region. | |
83 3. Number of lines below (outside of) desired scroll region. | |
84 4. Total number of lines on the screen, like #1. | |
85 This is because an Ambassador needs the parameters like this. | |
86 | |
87 `cr', `do', `le' | |
88 Emacs will not attempt to use ^M, ^J or ^H for cursor motion | |
89 unless these capabilities are present and say to use those | |
90 characters. | |
91 | |
92 `km' Says the terminal has a Meta key. | |
93 | |
94 Defining these strings is important for getting maximum performance | |
95 from your terminal. | |
96 | |
97 Make sure that the `ti' string sets all modes needed for editing | |
98 in Emacs. For example, if your terminal has a mode that controls | |
99 wrap at the end of the line, you must decide whether to specify | |
100 the `am' flag in the termcap entry; whichever you decide, the `ti' | |
101 string should contain commands to set the mode that way. | |
102 (Emacs also sends the `vs' string after the `ti' string. | |
103 You can put the mode-setting commands in either one of them.) | |
104 | |
105 *** Specific Terminal Types *** | |
106 | |
107 Watch out for termcap entries for Ann Arbor Ambassadors that | |
108 give too little padding for clear-screen. 7.2 msec per line is right. | |
109 These are the strings whose padding you probably should change: | |
110 :al=1*\E[L:dl=1*\E[M:cd=7.2*\E[J:cl=7.2*\E[H\E[J: | |
111 I have sometimes seen `\E[2J' at the front of the `ti' string; | |
112 this is a clear-screen, very slow, and it can cause you to get | |
113 Control-s sent by the terminal at startup. I recommend removing | |
114 the `\E[2J' from the `ti' string. | |
115 The `ti' or `vs' strings also usually need stuff added to them, such as | |
116 \E[>33;52;54h\E[>30;37;38;39l | |
117 You might want to add the following to the `te' or `ve' strings: | |
118 \E[>52l\E[>37h | |
119 The following additional capabilities will improve performance: | |
120 :AL=1*\E[%dL:DL=1*\E[%dM:IC=4\E[%d@:DC=4\E[%dP:rp=1*%.\E[%a-c\001%db: | |
121 If you find that the Meta key does not work, make sure that | |
122 :km: | |
123 is present in the termcap entry. | |
124 | |
125 Watch out for termcap entries for VT100's that fail to specify | |
126 the `sf' string, or that omit the padding needed for the `sf' and `sr' | |
127 strings (2msec per line affected). What you need is | |
128 :sf=2*^J:sr=2*\EM:cs=\E[%i%d;%dr: | |
129 | |
130 The Concept-100 and Concept-108 have many modes that `ti' strings | |
131 often fail to initialize. If you have problems on one of these | |
132 terminals, that is probably the place to fix them. These terminals | |
133 can support an `rp' string. | |
134 | |
135 Watch out on HP terminals for problems with standout disappearing on | |
136 part of the mode line. These problems are due to the absence of | |
137 :sg#0: which some HP terminals need. | |
138 | |
139 The vi55 is said to require `ip=2'. | |
140 | |
141 The Sun console should have these capabilities for good performance. | |
142 :AL=\E[%dL:DL=\E[%dM:IC=\E[%d@:DC=\E[%dP: | |
143 | |
144 The vt220 needs to be set to vt220 mode, 7 bit, space parity | |
145 in order to work fully with TERM=vt220. | |
146 | |
147 If you are using a LAT terminal concentrator, you need to issue these | |
148 commands to turn off flow control: | |
149 | |
150 set port flow control disable | |
151 define port flow control disable | |
152 | |
153 On System V, in the terminfo database, various terminals may have | |
154 the `xt' flag that should not have it. `xt' should be present only | |
155 for the Teleray 1061 or equivalent terminal. | |
156 | |
157 In particular, System V for the 386 often has `xt' for terminal type | |
158 AT386 or AT386-M, which is used for the console. You should delete | |
159 this flag. Here is how: | |
160 | |
161 You can get a copy of the terminfo "source" for at386 using the | |
162 command: `infocmp at386 >at386.tic'. Edit the file at386.tic and remove | |
163 the `xt' flag. Then compile the new entry with: `tic at386.tic'. | |
164 | |
165 It is also reported that these terminal types sometimes have the wrong | |
166 reverse-scroll string. It should be \E[T, but sometimes is given as \E[S. | |
167 | |
168 Here is what watserv1!maytag!focsys!larry recommends for these terminals: | |
