When I am using Bitvise Tunnelier and I spawn a new xterm window connecting to our sun station everything works nicely. We have visual slick edit installed on the sun station and I have been instructed to open it using the command vs&. When I do this I get the following: fbm240-1:/home/users/ajahn 1 % vs& [1] 4716 fbm240-1:/home/users/a...
I swear there used to be a way in X to start capturing all terminal traffic to a file on your host. It may have been a HummingBird extension, but I thought it was standard. Now, I can't find the trick. Am I hallucinating (happens when you get old), or is it possible?I'm not talking about 'tee'. I want to be able to send a xterm control-s...
Hello folks, I am writing a QT application and I need to embed a terminal (we say,xterm) within a QDialog, like some KDE application (see kdevelop/kate/...). I've been trying with: - QX11EmbedContainer placed into the QLayout of my QDialog - QProcess for the program I want to excecute I expect the QProcess running within the QX11Emb...
I want to use part of the output of a command run from the command line in another xterm, or as part of a different command. For instance: > grep error error.log error: can't find file ~/<some very long path>/thisfile and I want to do this: >ls ~/<some very long path>/ I know two ways to do this: 1. copy ~/<some very long path>/...
My cygwin xterm is not responding to the keyboard. I am able to run rxvt, but when I start other X applications I have the same problem. From the rxvt command prompt, I get the following: $ xterm xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0 The contents of my XWin.0.log are: $ cat XWin.0.log Welcome to the XWin X Server Vendor: The Cygw...
I just had my desktop computer replaced. Both my previous computer and this one have Windows XP. In order to work with the many Linux servers we have, I installed Cygwin along with its xterm package. However, I cannot run startx to start the X-window server as I did with my previous computer. I've been looking online to see why start...
I'm using emacs in a console window both on my local Linux box and on the login node of a remote cluster. I use emacs regularly, and I've got the foreground color set to white in my .emacs file like so: (set-foreground-color "white") (set-background-color "black") However, when I run emacs, the foreground isn't white; it's grey and v...
When I run emacs -nw in an X terminal window, and I ask for M-x list-colors-display, I am offered a paltry palette: black red green yellow blue magenta cyan white I am told it is possible to get 265 colors. Setting the TERM environment variable to xterm-256color does n...
I've used Hummingbird Exceed as my Xserver on my windows box for years. I've almost always worked out of xterms, but at times the number of open windows can get a bit out of control and hard to manage. Wondering if there is a terminal emulator that runs on WinXP that supports tabbed windows, similar to Konsole on KDE. ...
My xterm $prompt variable in my .tcshrc is: set prompt="%{\033]0;%m:%~\007%}%{^[[;37;1m%}%B%{^[[;34;1m%}%m%{^[[;34;1m%}:%b%c%# " The highlighted part above (%{\033]0;%m:%~\007%}) puts the hostname (%m) and the current directory (%~) in the title bar. (At least I think that that's what puts it in the title bar; it's been a while since ...
Hi, Is there any 256 color xterm for MacOS x? Like the one described below? http://www.frexx.de/xterm-256-notes/ Thank you. ...

I can only hope that, if successful, the question(s) and the answers may help others in Unicode madness. Here goes. I have read all the usually ...
Greetings, while porting old Solaris 2.4 code to CentOS 5.3 I came across an invocation like /usr/bin/xterm -S%s%d ... where %s is a two-character digit sequence XX like 00, 01 and %d is a numeric file descriptor. This was apparently a way to tell xterm to use /dev/ttypXX (a pseudo terminal slave) but the code does not seem to bother ...
Is it possible to have a block (as in "rectangular") selection in xterm? If yes, is it assigned by default to a key/mouse binding or does it have to be assigned separately? Thanks :) Sorin ...
Is there a gem like 'Term::ANSIColor' which works with 256 color terminals? The perl script 256colors2.pl works great in my terminal, and I'd like to use some of these colors in my ruby scripts without manually inserting the ANSI codes. ...
Hi, i use vim in screen for development and if i quit vim, the current screen-content stays there... outside the screen (xterm), exiting vim will restore the previous buffer (like: [ server1 ]~$ cmd some stuff, some stuff [ server1 ]~$ cmd [ server1 ]~$ cmd ) But not inside screen. I tried to use xterm as terminal inside scr...
Hi, is it possible to set the Screen-Title with an shellscript? i thought about something like sending the key commands "Strg+A Shift-A Name " I searched for about an hour only how to emulate keystrokes in an shell-script - but didnt find the answer. Thanks for Help! Beerweasle ...
C-h is correctly interpreted has 'help' in Carbon Emacs.app and using /usr/bin/emacs in Terminal.app. I'm sure I'm missing something simple here. Emacs describe-bindings shows c-h is rightly mapped to help. So it seems like xterm or X11 sees a c-h keypress and then sends a backspace to emacs. Can this behavior be changed? ...
I'm using Vim 6.3.81 on a x-term through putty. I wanted to map mouse events (like wheel-button click , double click) to specific events using my .vimrc . I've looked at the vim wiki and based on it, defined the following map in my .vimrc: :nnoremap <2-LeftMouse> :set invnumber<CR> However , it is not working - double-click is not tog...
