xterm

I have the following line in my .bashrc: set -o vi And I want my cursor to have a pipe shape when I am in insert mode and a block shape when I am in command mode, like what I would have in Vim if I placed the following in my .vimrc: let &t_SI = "\e[6 q" let &t_SR = "\e[4 q" let &t_EI = "\e[2 q" Except in this case I want to have the equivalent behavior on the command line. I found a partial answer to my question here - https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/22527/change-cursor-shape-or-color-to-indicate-vi-mode-in-bash - written by @gogolb. Here is the answer, copied: #!/bin/bash # Script

Vim has the ability to correctly guess the background color of an Xterm in order to set its internal option bg to either dark or white according to the terminal's one. Vim is able to do that correctly only when TERM is set to either xterm {, -color , -256color } or linux but no others like tmux or screen . How does Vim to guess that? I've found that most people forces setting up the background option to either dark or light in their .vimrc file; but I'd like a way to guess the same way Vim does, independently of the terminal being xterm , tmux , screen . osgx The default setting is defined

I use vim in Cygwin terminal. It was working fine. Recently, I added a package in Cygwin which caused update of vim and some other components. Now when I open any file in vim, the first character in the file gets replaced with character 'g'. I tried removing .vimrc and all files in .vim folder in my home folder. But the problem persists. To understand the problem, I opened a file using 'vim -E'. On opening, I see the following at the bottom of the window: Entering Ex mode. Type "visual" to go to Normal mode. :]11;rgb:0000/0000/0000\ The key sequence rgb in vim would replace the first character

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 QX11EmbedContainer, but it does not work. The problem is that I can't put the xterm into the QX11EmbedContainer, the only thing I obtain is an xterm window (unfortunately separated from my QDialog). Does anybody got the same problem? Sorry, I've tried your solution before posting oh

I'm writing a command line tool with Swift and I'm having trouble displaying colors in my shell. I'm using the following code: println("\033[31;32mhey\033[39;39m") or even NSFileHandle.fileHandleWithStandardOutput().writeData("\033[31;32mhey\033[39;39m".dataUsingEncoding(NSASCIIStringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: true)!) It works when I use a simple echo in php (the text is displayed in green) but is there a reason it doesn't work in a Swift command line tool? Thanks! cyt Swift has built in unicode support. This invalidates using of back slash. So that I use color codes with "\u{}" syntax.

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>/ with the mouse. 2. use some combination of head / tail / awk / sed / perl / cut /etc... to extract only what I need from the output and then use that inside backticks. Is there any way to copy text without using the mouse? The example that comes to mind is visual mode
