Because dtterm only emulates
a terminal, your control characters might not be what you are used
to on a physical terminal. The ttyModes
resource enables you to set control characters for your terminal
emulator.
By default, Login Manager sets the control characters listed
in Table 12-1 “Terminal Control
Characters”
Table 12-1 Terminal Control
Characters
Control Name | Character | Definition |
|---|
erase | Control+H | Backspace
erases characters |
intr | Control+C | Interrupt:
Cancel the current operation andredisplay the command-line prompt. |
kill | Control+U | Stop an
operation or application. |
start | Control+Q | Accept
keyboard input: Used to continue an application that has been paused. |
stop | Control+S | Do not
accept keyboard input: Used to pause an application. |
swtch | Control+@ | Switch
between layers in a shell. |
For example, to interrupt an operation in progress, you press
Control+C.
The syntax for the ttyModes
resource is:
ttyModes: Control+C
name
where name
is the control, and C is the character. (^
is another way of expressing Control.) For example, the default
value of ttyModes describing
the preceding list is:
ttyModes: erase ^H intr ^C kill ^U start ^Q stop ^S swtch ^@ |
