[Bug 96676] Re: [feisty] function keys don't work in gnome-terminal

2008-11-29 Thread Thomas Dickey
At some point gnome-terminal changed its strings for modified function-keys.  I 
documented those
in terminfo.src for ncurses 5.7 (they don't match xterm, of course).

[Bug 259139] Re: Ncurses package does not contain libtinfo

2008-11-29 Thread Thomas Dickey
The entrypoints for libinfo are part of ncurses (whether the ncurses library is 
installed as the
two files is a decision made by the packager, and does not affect the ability 
of applications
to use those entrypoints).  Any build script which looks explicitly for libtinfo
without first trying in the ncurses library should be fixed.

[Bug 187866] Re: 'tput cols' give strange results

2008-11-29 Thread Thomas Dickey
It's expected behavior - in the "80" case, stdout is redirected,
so it's no longer a terminal.  When this happens, the terminal
initialization falls back to the terminfo settings.

xterm could be installed (and configured...) for systems that use setuid, 
setgid.  setuid is rarely used now (was mainly for pre-Unix98 ptys). 
setgid is generally used to provide utmp access for systems without the 
utempter library.

(even when utempter is used, some packagers have odd environments that
confuse the configure script).

No bug here - it's either a fix in gnome-terminal, or the application
using it, e.g., vim.

[Bug 407153] Re: ANSI codes for saving/restoring attributes not supported

2009-08-03 Thread Thomas Dickey
For the record, the vtansi.htm page (originally by Robert M. Free - though I 
don't see his
name on that copy) contains several technical errors - citing it in a bug report
is a nonstarter.

In this instance, it happens to say something which is relevant, but still not
completely true.  In particular, CSI s and CSI u are not vt100 sequences,
but xterm happens to recognize them - because it also recognizes several
sequences from ISO 6429 - this one since 1996.

Saving/restoring attributes on the other hand, is a feature described in 
technical
manuals available at vt100.net - a source with which the vte developers
appear to be unfamiliar.

[Bug 320958] Re: xterm renders some unicode characters incorrectly when using colors (or bold?)

2009-07-30 Thread Thomas Dickey
Whether a character shows up as a box or not depends on whether the font
contains the given glyph.  xterm has separate normal/bold font settings,
and (though it can be configured to use overstriking rather than a bold font)
will choose to use the bold font for bold text.

By the way, on my Debian/testing "ls --color" doesn't show those names
colored.  That's 7.4-2

Doing that would break existing applications (those that use
the terminal description from ncurses and xterm, for example),
and would introduce sequences which correspond to those already
sent by other combinations.   (It's likely that some other users
of Ubuntu would object to this).

[Bug 355883] Re: Jaunty: CTRL-LEFT and CTRL-RIGHT do not work in zsh

2009-07-30 Thread Thomas Dickey
Near the end of this section, there's a table showing the codes sent by
xterm for different modifiers:

http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html#PC-Style Function Keys
Back to the original report - 

A "3" is sent for an "alt" key, a "5" for a control key.
That's not changed in upstream xterm, isn't likely to.
But the report says a "3" is sent with a control key.

However, gnome-terminal has changed several times.
None of this is documented except in bug reports.

For instance, at one point gnome-terminal set its keys based on a termcap entry.
That didn't work well since the termcap entry lacked information on the 
control/cursor-keys.
As I recall, they "fixed" the problem by hardcoding in some behavior.
But in doing so, they neglected to bother to make it compatible.

The (unresolved) problems with gnome-terminal are technically solvable.
For instance, xterm has an option (-kt tcap) which tells it to read the 
"termcap".
But if it is linked with ncurses, it reads the extended information that 
describes these keys.
(If the terminfo doesn't describe the key, xterm's free to use its builtin 
behavior of course).

[Bug 26603] Re: String indexes are inconsistent with other awks

2009-07-26 Thread Thomas Dickey
no - as Aharon Robbins pointed out (and X/Open):

substr(s, m[, n  ])
Return the at most n-character substring of s that begins at position m, 
numbering from 1. If n is omitted, or if n specifies more characters than are 
left in the string, the length of the substring shall be limited by the length 
of the string s.

That's undefined behavior.  It would be nice to match behavior in
various aspects which aren't documented, and fall outside the standard.
But that's a wishlist item rather than a bug.

This would be for xterm with modifyFunctionKeys:0

I made a list in xterm (duplicated in ncurses) called "xterm+pcf0".

The corresponding list is called "xterm+pcf2", and corresponds to the

The terminfo entries are built up in chunks to make it (relatively) simple 
to patch the terminfo to reflect different preferences for 
resource-settings.

Some packagers prefer to number shifted-f1 to shifted-f12 as F10-F22.
Some terminals implement this, some implement F13-F24 (hardcoded).

xterm has a resource-setting to select it -

ctrlFKeys (class CtrlFKeys)
In VT220 keyboard mode (see sunKeyboard resource),
specifies  the  amount  by  which  to shift F1-F12
given a control modifier (CTRL).  This allows  you
to  generate  key  symbols for F10-F20 on a Sun/PC
keyboard.  The default is ``10'', which means that
CTRL F1 generates the key symbol for F11.

which I added in 2000.  The terminfo entries I maintain for ncurses and
xterm reflect the default resource settings.  If you want to change the
resource settings, you need a new terminfo entry (suggest doing it with
a script ;-).

by the way, Debian maintains "xterm-debian" - it won't be in ncurses

I don't use mc, but have read that it stores key-definitions per $TERM
with its learn-keys feature.  That may be what's confusing it.  Also,
recall that I pointed out that some terminals use different numbering
for the shift-F1 to F10 or F12.

gnome-terminal is a different problem since it hardcodes $TERM to "xterm" 
and attempts to read function-key definitions from the termcap interface. 
Note that I said "termcap" - iirc, it's only got one table.  This makes it 
do interesting (buggy) behavior for the shift/control cursor/function 
keys, since it guesses incorrectly on the cases where they're not in 
termcap.

It does sort-of work for the codes in termcap.  (I haven't noticed any
mismatches for the common cases of TERM using tack).

I'm not sure which "#if 1" you're talking about here.

you seem to be referring to here to something like
\E[1;2A

The "1;" is the first parameter in the control sequence.  In my first 
version of function-key modifiers, I did something like
\E[2A

but after some time someone pointed out that it violated the convention
that the cursor key strings could be interpreted the same as the 
corresponding cursor movement controls.  The first parameter for cursor
movements is a repeat-count.  So I added a dummy parameter "1" to fix 
that.

gnome-terminal and konsole copied the first version, did not adapt the
improved version.  (xterm provides both, and more via the modifyXXX
resources).  After some time, gnome-terminal was modified (unsure when -
neither GNOME nor KDE developers document things) to read the termcap.
So it sort-of works.

[Bug 96676] Re: [feisty] function keys don't work in gnome-terminal

2007-08-05 Thread Thomas Dickey
Agree: gnome-terminal has never emulated all of xterm's control sequences, and 
it is unlikely
that it ever will.  That's why there is a separate terminfo entry "gnome" to 
address its actual
behavior.  Set $TERM to "gnome" and report discrepancies there.

For instance, the comment about gnome's bug #337252 points to a change in xterm 
5 years ago.
That's not recent.

By the way - to get correct information (rather than the miscellany of 2-3 year 
old secondary sources,
you might look at the xterm source itself.  gnome-terminal developers do...

hmm - yes.  It's a shame about the termcap package - hasn't been maintained for
several years.  That's using a file that was last updated in March 2000.  I
added the gnome entry late in 1999 - shortly after ncurses 5.0.

Eric Raymond's file is mostly (aside from reordering the entries to assert
"creative" input, and changing the version number) a copy of the ncurses 5.0
file with less than 500 lines added.  At best it's a nuisance.

See

for an authentic up-to-date termcap source.

That's not unexpected, given the history of the feature.

I implemented the original flavor in (xterm of course)
Patch #94 - 1999/3/27 - XFree86 3.9Pf
and made the change which seems to be the root of this discussion in
Patch #167 - 2002/8/24 - XFree86 4.2.0
and documented/extended the permutations in
Patch #216 - 2006/8/3
Patch #223 - 2006/11/30

iirc, konsole is using the original flavor, while as noted, gnome-terminal 
attempts to use the terminfo entry but reportedly is not associating 
things in the same way that I setup for xterm.

Aside from unintentionally changing the default for the behavior that 
corresponds to the modifyCursorKeys resource as noted for #223, I don't 
_recall_ having changed anything in the terminfo which would be 
incompatible - for xterm itself.  gnome-terminal, of course, is expected
to work either way since it reads the terminal description.

Midnight Commander is probably linked with s-lang, which only looks for
"xterm" in $TERM to decide if the terminal supports mouse.  ncurses
looks at the kmous capability (which is more reliable).

btw - the extra key-bindings for alt/shift/control modifiers in the
terminfo descriptions are invisible to s-lang, since it has its own
terminfo reader...  (not really noticeable for Midnight Commander if
you're using the learn-keys feature).

I'm puzzled by the original description, which states that infocmp is
showing \EO rather than \E[ for the control sequence initiator, but am
guessing that Ubuntu is still assigning "xterm" to the 5-year-old version
of xterm.  (While xterm can be configured to match this, that was changed
for a good reason, and it would be nice if we didn't have to deal with
antique bugs).

The way to construct a _terminfo_ entry (I thought Ubuntu is a repackager 
of Debian...), is to make a text file such as

xterm|customized entry,
use=xterm-xf86-v44,

and compile that with tic (noting that if you're not root, then it may
go to $HOME/.terminfo - a bad feature which was depcrecated long ago).

Apparently "most" refers to Redhat, using utempter.  Otherwise, xterm's
installed setgid.  The X libraries (as you should have noted, having
commented "as often reported") for several years have stripped
certain environment variables from setuid and setgid programs.

utempter isn't much of an improvement (read it - or gnome-terminal ;-)

There's other ways to use the linker than by hacking up your filesystem.
Look into rpath, for instance.

setting "*customization:color" does this.

That's set in x11-common.

For some systems (without that detail), I do the same thing by putting the
setting in my $HOME/.Xdefaults; however not all sessions startup using
_that_ value.  (But for Ubuntu, my understanding is that it should work
using the x11-common value - however other comments let me see that KDE 
has added some additional breakage of X-resources which needs to be 
explained).

Debian sets the background color by a modification to

If I had something like that where I could test it, I'd see if I could use 
strace to show which files were opened on startup.  iirc, a setting from 
xrdb wouldn't show up in this way, but resource settings would.

(For this purpose, xterm runs fine without setgid, in case that 
interferes).

something like

strace -tfo foo.out xterm

would show that.  (I expect it to be large - compressed attachments are 
nice ;-).  Tweaking uxterm to get the same information can be done by
editing the last line of the script.

[Bug 464783] Re: gnome-terminal should default to 80x25 for application compatibility

2010-03-02 Thread Thomas Dickey
The report has several problems.  I'll list a few of them.

vte would like to emulate xterm (it's incomplete).
xterm emulates vt100, vt220, etc.  Those are all 24x80.

PC's have 25x80.  But their emulation of vt100 is weak,
with well-known differences.

Terminator isn't relevant to the topic.

Generally speaking, terminal emulators do not pay much attention to the
termcap data.  It's useful (as xterm and gnome-terminal can do) to set function
keys.  For sizing the terminal - the use of that via termcap is an archaic 
feature.

The scrap of termcap in gnome-terminal's source (aside from the fact that an
upstream bug notes that the feature is not working) is purely to enable 
gnome-terminal
to find the data (for some reason its developers did not use the conventional 
terminfo
or termcap interfaces to obtain this information).

The comment about wikipedia
(a) misinterprets what is there and
(b) wikipedia is not a reliable source.

bash (but not dash or csh as far as I recall) contains code which is 
supposed to count the length of the prompt, for positioning the cursor.

The code in bash has been the subject of occasional bug reports for
some time.

gnome-terminal, konsole and xterm all are independent - it's likely that
there is a common cause for this issue which is unrelated to any of these.

You may get some insight on the problem by using "script" to capture the
output of the shell (to see which characters are sent to the terminal).

That may be different between the Linux console and the X applications.

I see - overlooked that.  It could have been set in his .Xdefaults,
though, which would have shown up in the appres listings.

No - since there's no fix released for 8.04 Hardy.  But it's certainly not a

There is a resource setting that can disable it - perhaps someone set

I suppose it's possible that xrdb has different data in gnome/kde.
(It's simple enough to check - look at the control-right-mouse entry
for "Enable Title Ops", which must be enabled to allow this feature).

allowTitleOps doesn't have an effect on retrieving the title.
That's controlled via allowWindowOps:

allowTitleOps (class AllowTitleOps)
Specifies whether control  sequences  that  modify  the  window
title or icon name should be allowed.  The default is "true."

allowWindowOps (class AllowWindowOps)
Specifies whether extended window control sequences (as used in
dtterm) should  be  allowed.   These  include  several  control
sequences which manipulate the window size or position, as well
as reporting these values and the title or icon name.  Each  of
these can be abused in a script; curiously enough most terminal
emulators that implement these restrict only a  small  part  of
the repertoire.  For fine-tuning, see disallowedWindowOps.  The
default is "false."

(my recent changes in-filled some empty slots in the dtterm list, but did
not alter the allowTitleOps feature, since that was separate from dtterm).

I understood the problem statement, and suggested one of the 
possibilities, which could be checked by anyone who's able to reproduce
the problem.  (Another possibility is that he's using patch #243, for
which there was already a fix - but bug reports lacking a version number

If it's the same executable (and unless KDE now has some feature for disabling 
changes
to the  titlebar), then it's probably a difference in X resource settings due 
to starting
xrdb with a slightly different set of files.

If it's X resources, then you should be able to see the "Allow Title Ops" menu

unchecked (control/right mouse menu) when running in KDE.

It would be greyed out if "Allow SendEvents" (control/left/menu) is
enabled (in turn, that could be a resource-difference between GNOME/KDE).

man xterm

   allowSendEvents (class AllowSendEvents)
   Specifies whether or not synthetic key and button events (gen-

[Bug 320388] Re: accentuated characters wrongly displayed (encoding problem) in title bar

2009-11-29 Thread Thomas Dickey
see
   http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_210

man xterm (resource settings):

   utf8Title (class Utf8Title)
   Applications  can  set  xterm's  title  by  writing  a  control
   sequence.  Normally this control  sequence  follows  the  VT220
   convention,  which  encodes the string in ISO-8859-1 and allows
   for an 8-bit string terminator.  If xterm is started in a UTF-8
   locale,  it  translates  the ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 to work
   with the X libraries which assume the string is UTF-8.
   
   However, some users may wish to write a title string encoded in
   UTF-8.   Set  this  resource  to  "true" to allow UTF-8 encoded
   title strings.  That cancels the translation to UTF-8, allowing
   UTF-8 strings to be displayed as is.
   
   The default is "false."

reportedly it works with the fixes I've made since 9.7w, e.g.,

So far, Ubuntu ranks _last_ of all bug-tracking systems that I deal with,

putty isn't xterm.

There is a "putty" terminal description which matches the default settings

gnome-terminal isn't xterm, etc.

The only (upstream) thing that comes to mind is to make the include-structure 
of the uxterm
app-defaults files consistent with xterm.  Doing that will make this user's 
windows both have
a white background.  I'm doing that for patch #256.

I did notice that on my Debian/stable (sarge), that the
"customization:color" is not set in

/etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common

(but my $HOME/.Xdefaults had long had the setting).  I don't see a followup

tell if the setting is missing from his x11-common file.

Reading this bug report, it seems that 20090607 is where karmic is.
20090613 has a build-fix.

There are fixes for ongoing changes between 20090613 and 20090803,
but I didn't note in

http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/NEWS.gz

that any of those were due to changes older than 20090613

(the build-fix in 20090613 wasn't complete - there's some followup 
mentioned for --srcdir in 20090815 and 20090905, however there are
other changes which are less stable - backporting of the 2-3 lines

There's enough information to see the basic problem.
What's lacking is for the package maintainer to follow the thread,
ask questions if they don't follow it.

The essential problem reported is that Ubuntu's customization to change 
kbs (presumably to change it from ^H to \177) did not work for the person 
who reported the problem.  That can be because the screen entries did not 
contain that customization, or due to an error in one of the special 
terminfo entries (even a bug in screen ;-).

ncurses's terminfo database contains some special entries which are 
interpreted by screen, e.g., these listed by toe:

screen.xterm-xfree86screen customized for modern xterm
screen.xterm-r6 screen customized for X11R6 xterm
screen.teraterm disable ncv in teraterm
screen.rxvt screen in rxvt
screen.Etermscreen in Eterm
screen.linuxscreen in linux console
screen.mlterm   screen in mlterm

That is, outside 'screen', if $TERM is "mlterm", for instance, it
would use "screen.mlterm".  Those entries work around various problems
with screen's matching _exactly_ a given terminal entry.

The followup should have been focused on first verifying what the
terminfo entry inside 'screen' was, and what the special entry shows,
to see if one of those displays the problem.  If they're set properly,
then (barring the reporter _wanting_ kbs=^H), then it should have been
reassigned back to screen's maintainer to analyze.

I don't have Ubuntu to compare, but my understanding is that it's largely 
a copy of Debian/testing.  Those entries in Debian/testing would be in the
larger "ncurses-term" package:

/usr/share/terminfo/s/screen.rxvt

ncurses's terminfo.src has kbs=^H.

Since (all but a few) terminfo entries come from ncurses in Debian, etc.,
the change is addressed by a packager's patch (customization).  In 
particular, the Debian package for 'screen' does not install any terminfo
data...

That sounds like a regression which I fixed in

20090815
 + correct use of terminfo capabilities for initializing soft-keys,
   broken in 20090509 merging.

(iirc, Ubuntu bumped up to 20090803)

I haven't disabled it - it should work as it did, for some time.
Packagers do enable/disable.

(more information would help).

[Bug 438850] Re: xterm ignores VT100 widget resources color16 through color255

2009-09-29 Thread Thomas Dickey
Not a bug in xterm, but a limitation of the X libraries.

http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.log.html#xterm_188
Patch #188 - 2004/5/12 - XFree86 4.4.99.6

modify initialization of 256- and 88-colors so that colors beyond 16 are
normally not X resources. This works around a hard-coded limit in Xt
which breaks xterm when 256-colors and luit are both configured (report
by Noah Friedman).

[Bug 400409] Re: RS is readonly

2009-10-11 Thread Thomas Dickey
If the Debian packager were responding, it would be about a week.
However, he's ignored most of my bug reports (aside from the one
about incorrect license).

Look here - I've marked fixed-upstream on the ones that I believe are
done...

There's missing information (since this update is likely to be mixed in 
with other changes):

a) what was the previous version of xterm used?

b) if you install the previous version of xterm in the current 
environment, does it still behave properly?

nor I - no foreground or background strings there.

But that's one of the places I'd look, since #241 comes up with the wrong 
color.  The other would be the output of

appres XTerm
appres UXTerm

which would list _most_ of the resource settings seen by xterm and uxterm 
respectively.  (If it doesn't show up there, it's harder to isolate - 
that's when I give up on the packaged binary and compile xterm with 
debugging traces, so I can see what resources it has ;-).
