The scaling/positioning commands: `?' = query scale/position `WxH+X+Y' = change scale and position `WxH+X' -> Y = X `WxH' -> Y = X = 50 `W+X+Y' -> H = W `W+X' -> H = W, Y = X `W' -> H = W, X = Y = 50 `=+X+Y' = change position (absolute) `+X+Y' = change position (relative) `=+X' -> Y = X `+X' -> Y = X `Wx0' -> W *= W/100 `0xH' -> H *= H/100 For example: eg. "\E]20;mona.xpm;200" loads the pixmap `mona.xpm' and sets the scaling to 200% or "\E]20;;200;?\a" sets the scaling of the current pixmap to 200% and displays the image tqgeometry in the title. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eterm menuBar -------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the menubar XTerm escape sequence, "ESC ] 10; Pt BEL", the syntax of Pt is as follows: = title set menuBar title +/ access menuBar top level -/ remove menuBar top level NUL remove menuBar top level + [/menu/path/]submenu add/access menu - [/menu/path/]submenu remove menu + [/menu/path/]{item}[{rtext}] [action] add/alter item - [/menu/path/]{item} remove item + [/menu/path/]{-} add separator - [/menu/path/]{-} remove separator + ../ access parent menu (1 level) + ../../ access parent menu (multiple levels) Define menu quick arrows BeginRightLeftUpDownEnd NB: the square brackets indicate optional values. The title may contain the following format specifiers: %% literal '%' character %v Eterm version In the `action' associated with a menu item, special characters must be backslash-escaped: `\a', `\b', `\E `\e', `\n', `\r', `\t', '\octal' or in control-character notation: ^@, ^A .. ^Z .. ^_, ^? If `action' begins with a NUL (^@) character followed by non-NUL characters, the leading NUL is stripped off and the balance is sent back to Eterm. To send a string starting with a NUL (^@) character to the program, start action with a pair of NUL characters (^@^@), the first of which will be stripped off and the balance directed to the program. As a concession and a convenience to the many Emacs work-alike editors, an action string can be be starting with the following: `M-...', eg, `M-$' == `\E$' and for Meta-x commands, a carriage-return will be appended if missing and leading space will be skipped eg, `M-x apropos' == `\Exapropos\r' The option {rtext} will be right-justified. In the absence of a specified action, this text will be as the used. So, for example, Pt = `+{Open}{^X^F}' is equivalent to Pt = `+{Open){^X^F}{^X^F}' To only have the right-justified text, either use the same name for both left and right labels, eg: Pt = `+{Open}{Open} Open-File-Action' or simply hide the left label by preceeding it with a dot, eg: Pt = `+{.anyLabel}{Open} Open-File-Action' Since the left label is used for matching, it is necessary. The menus also provide a hook for `quick arrows' to provide easier user access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to emulate the curror keys. The syntax permits each arrow to be altered individually or all four at once with re-entering their common beginning/end text. For example, to explicitly associate cursor actions with the arrows, any of the following forms could be used: Pt = `\\E[A' Pt = `\\E[B' Pt = `\\E[C' Pt = `\\E[D' or Pt = `\\E[A\\E[B\\E[C\\E[D' or Pt = `\\E[ABCD' It is probably easiest just to see the examples. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mouse reporting -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESC [ M report mouse position The lower 2 bits of indicate the button: Button = & 3 - SPACE 0 = Button1 pressed 1 = Button2 pressed 2 = Button3 pressed 3 = button released (X11 mouse report) The upper bits of indicate the modifiers when the button was pressed and are added together (X11 mouse report only): State = & 28 - SPACE 4 = Shift 8 = Meta 16 = Control Col = - SPACE Row = - SPACE -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eterm special graphics mode: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESC G Q query if graphics are available -> ESC G 0 no graphics available -> ESC G 1 graphics available (color only) Add more documentation here, if anyone actually cares.
