![]() ![]() ![]() xterm terminals also allow the server to interact withĪs all terminal types, xterm is a standard that allows the server to send text to the user's screen.īy embedding special controls in the text, these codes allow control over the placement andĭisplay charachacteristics (location, color, etc.) of the text, rather than merely displaying Terminals, like the placement of the xterm terminal window on the user's screen or setting the title To allow the server to control special characteristics that go beyond the requirements of physical Xterm extends the possibilities of earlier terminal emulation definitions like DEC These codes also allow control over the placement and display charachacteristics (location, color, etc.) Xterm is a standard that allows the server to send text to the user's screen. Screen with the word "error" highlighted, the host would send in order to send the text "this is an error!" to the user's Text from left to right and top to bottom like an old teletype (TTY).Į.g. (xterm controls are actually a superset of these), While the above code actually also works in some (but not all) other terminal types, like Rather than displaying all the text, the xterm terminal will interpretĪs commands that tell it to highlight the text that is received between them. Xterm vastly expands the codes and possibilites over those. ZOC Terminal, a Modern Xterm Emulation for Windows and macOS The codes sent by the terminal, especially in combination with combinations of keyboard modifierĪ fulll list of terminal emulation sequences for xterm can be found on Here is an exceprt from one of the code squences that allow that:ĮSC [ n t n = 13 → Report xterm window position as CSI 3 x yt n = 14 → Report xterm window in pixels as CSI 4 height width t n = 20 → Report xterm window’s icon label as OSC L label ST n = 21 → Report xterm window’s title as OSC l title ST (ESC equals character hex 1B or ^[ )Īnother improvement in the xterm terminal emulation is the strict definition of function keys and Notably, xterm is one of the few terminals, that acknowledges the fact that it lives in anĮmulator and is not a physical terminal (see terminal emulator)Īnd thus includes codes that manipulate the emulator window itself. Today most 'terminals' are simply a software running on a PC. ![]()
