said byte is followed by any number of additional bytes in this range and then a byte in the range 0x30 0x7e these escape sequences are further subcategorised by the low two bits of the first byte e g

clears the screen and on some devices locates the cursor to the y x position 1 1 upper left corner csi 32 m this makes text green the green may be a dark dull green so you may wish to enable bold with the sequence csi 1 m which would make it bright green or combined as csi 32 1 m some implementations use the bold state to make the character bright csi 0 6 8 dir 13 p this reassigns the key f10 to send to the keyboard buffer the string dir and enter which in the dos command line would display the contents of the current directory ms dos ansi sys only this was sometimes used for ansi bombs this is a private use code as indicated by the letter p using a non standard extension to include a string valued parameter following the letter of the standard would consider the sequence to end at the letter d csi s this saves the cursor position using the sequence csi u will restore it to the position say the current cursor position is 7 y and 10 x the sequence csi s will save those two numbers now you can move to a different cursor position such as 20 y and 3 x using the sequence csi 20 3 h or csi 20 3 f now if you use the sequence csi u the cursor position will return to 7 y and 10 x some terminals require the dec sequences esc 7 esc 8 instead which is more widely supported in shell scripting edit ansi escape codes are often used in unix and unix like terminals to provide syntax highlighting for example on compatible terminals the following list command color codes file and directory names by type ls color users can employ escape codes in their scripts by including them as part of standard output or standard error for example the following gnu sed command embellishes the output of the make command by displaying lines containing words starting with warn in reverse video and words starting with err in bright yellow on a dark red background letter case is ignored the representations of the codes are highlighted 61 make 2 1 sed e s bwarn x1b 7m x1b 0m i e s berr x1b 93 41m x1b 0m i the following bash function flashes the terminal by alternately sending reverse and normal video mode codes until the user presses a key 62 it can be used to alert a programmer when a lengthy command terminates such as with make flasher 63 flasher while true do printf e 5h sleep 0 1 printf e 5l read s n1 t1 break done the following command will reset the console similar to the command reset on modern linux systems however it should work even on older linux systems and on other non linux unix variants printf 033c in c edit this following program creates a table of numbers from 0 to 109 each of which is displayed in the format specified by the select graphic rendition escape sequence using that number as the graphic rendition code output of example program on gnome terminal include stdio h int main void int row col n for row 0 row 11 row for col 0 col 10 col n 10 row col if n 109 break printf 033 dm 3d 033 m n n printf n return 0 terminal input sequences edit

newspapers books scholar jstor october 2023 learn how and when to remove this message pressing special keys on the keyboard as well as outputting many xterm csi dcs or osc sequences often produces a csi dcs or osc sequence sent from the terminal to the computer as though the user typed it when typing input on a terminal keypresses outside the normal main alphanumeric keyboard area can be sent to the host as ansi sequences for keys that have an equivalent output function such as the cursor keys these often mirror the output sequences however for most keypresses there isn t an equivalent output sequence to use there are several encoding schemes and unfortunately most terminals mix sequences from different schemes so host software has to be able to deal with input sequences using any scheme to complicate the matter the vt terminals themselves have two schemes of input normal mode and application mode that can be switched by the application draft section char char esc esc esc esc alt esc esc char alt keypress or keycode sequence esc alt esc modifier char keycode sequence modifier is a decimal number and defaults to 1 xterm esc keycode modifier keycode sequence keycode and modifier are decimal numbers and default to 1 vt if the terminating character is the first number must be present and is a keycode number the second number is an optional modifier value if the terminating character is a letter the letter is the keycode value and the optional number is the modifier value the modifier value defaults to 1 and after subtracting 1 is a bitmap of modifier keys being pressed meta ctrl alt shift so for example esc 4 2 is shift end esc 20 is function key f9 esc 5c is ctrl in other words the modifier is the sum of the following numbers key pressed number comment 1 always

always emit the modifier for f1 f4 draft section xterm has a comprehensive documentation page on the various function key and mouse input sequence schemes from dec s vt terminals and various other terminals it emulates 17 thomas dickey has added a lot of support to it over time 64 he also maintains a list of default keys used by other terminal emulators for comparison 65 on the linux console certain function keys generate sequences of the form csi char the csi sequence should terminate on the old versions of terminator generate ss3 1 modifiers char when f1 f4 are pressed with modifiers the faulty behavior was copied from gnome terminal citation needed xterm replies csi row column r if asked for cursor position and csi 1 modifiers r if the f3 key is pressed with modifiers which collide in the case of row 1 this can be avoided by using the private modifier as csi 6 n which will be reflected in the response as csi row column r many terminals prepend esc to any character that is typed with the alt key down this creates ambiguity for uppercase letters and symbols _ which would form c1 codes clarification needed konsole generates ss3 modifiers char when f1 f4 are pressed
