Note that allowing such events would create a very large security hole, therefore enabling this resource forcefully disables the allowXXXOps resources. This is a constant, depending on how it is compiled, typically It does not change if you alter resource settings, e. Reporting control- and alt-modifiers is a feature that relies on the ncurses extended naming. 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. Your keyboard may happen to be configured so they are the same. But if they are not, this allows you to use the same prefix- and shifting operations with the Alt-key as with the Meta-key.
See altSend- sEscape and metaSendsEscape. It is only available if the altIsNotMeta resource is set. This applies as well to function key control sequences, unless xterm sees that Alt is used in your key translations. If "false", Alt characters input from the keyboard cause a shift to 8-bit characters just like metaSendsEscape.
By combining the Alt- and Meta- modifiers, you can create corresponding combinations of ESC-prefix and 8-bit characters. If this resource is true, xterm does not make the check for distinct fonts when deciding how to handle the bold- Mode resource.
By default if this resource is false , a hollow text cursor is dis- played whenever the pointer moves out of the window or the window loses the input focus. Normally xterm checks if Alt or Meta is used in a translation that would conflict with function key modifiers, and will ignore these modifiers in that special case.
The default is a blank string, i. A hardware VT implements this feature as a setup option. The default backspace is "true. The default is "XtDefaultBackground. Default is If set non-zero, additional bells will also be suppressed until the server reports that processing of the first bell has been com- pleted; this feature is most useful with the visible bell.
These normally are the brighter versions of the first 8 colors, hence bold. There is no default for this resource. X Version 11 Last change: xterm 30 User Commands XTERM 1 boldMode class BoldMode This specifies whether or not text with the bold attribute should be overstruck to simulate bold fonts if the resolved bold font is the same as the normal font.
It may be desirable to disable bold fonts when color is being used for the bold attribute. Note that xterm has one bold font which you may set explicitly. Xterm attempts to derive a bold font for the other font selections font1 through font6.
If it cannot find a bold font, it will use the nor- mal font. In each case whether the explicit resource or the derived font , if the normal and bold fonts are distinct, this resource has no effect. Although xterm attempts to derive a bold font for other font selections, the font server may not coop- erate. Since X11R6, bitmap fonts have been scaled. The font server claims to provide the bold font that xterm requests, but the result is not always read- able.
XFree86 provides a feature which can be used to suppress the scaling. In the X server's configu- ration file e. The same ":unscaled" can be added to its configuration file at the end of the directory specification for "misc".
The bitmap scaling feature is also used by xterm to implement VT double-width and double-height char- acters. Setting this resource to "true" violates the ICCCM; it may, however, be use- ful for interacting with some broken X clients. Set this to "true" if xterm appears to freeze when connecting. Ordinary control characters found within the string are not ignored; they are processed without inter- fering with the process of accumulating the control string's content.
Xterm recognizes these controls in all modes, although some of the functions may be suppressed after parsing the control. Set this to zero to disable double-sized fonts alto- gether. These are used in determining which sets of characters should be treated the same when doing cut and paste.
You may have to set this option to "true" if you have some old East Asian terminal based programs that assume that line- drawing characters have a column width of 2. If this resource is false, the mkWidth resource con- trols the choice between the system's wcwidth and xterm's built-in tables. The defaults are, respectively, black, red3, green3, yellow3, a customizable dark blue, magenta3, cyan3, and gray The default shades of color are chosen to allow the colors to be used as brighter ver- sions.
The default resource values are respectively, gray30, red, green, yellow, a customizable light blue, magenta, cyan, and white. The default resource values are for colors 16 through to make a 6x6x6 color cube, and colors through to make a grayscale ramp. Resources past color15 are available as a compile- time option. Due to a hardcoded limit in the X libraries on the total number of resources to , the resources for colors are omitted when wide- character support and luit are enabled.
Besides inconsistent behavior if only part of the resources were allowed, determining the exact cutoff is diffi- cult, and the X libraries tend to crash if the num- ber of resources exceeds the limit. The color palette is still initialized to the same default values, and can be modified via control sequences.
On the other hand, the resource limit does permit including the entire range for colors. If not, these are displayed only when no ANSI colors have been set for the corresponding position. Note that setting colorMode off disables all colors, including bold. Note that setting colorMode off disables all colors, including this. Note that setting colorMode off disables all colors, including underlining. This can be set to val- ues in the range 0 to 4.
See the -cu option for details. The same restriction applies to control sequences which may change this color. Setting this resource overrides most of xterm's adjustments to cursor color. It will still use reverse-video to disallow some cases, such as a black cursor on a black background.
The same timer is used for text blinking. If "true", the Newline is selected. If "true", the entire line is selected. Leading non-digit characters are ignored, e. The default is " " a single pound sign. If the undisplayable text would be double-width, xterm will add a space after the " " character, to give roughly the same layout on the screen as the original text.
The default is "false," for the latter. This is a comma-separated list of names. SetColor Set a specific dynamic color. SetFont Set the specified font. GetFont Report the specified font. SetTcap not implemented GetTcap Report specified function- and other special keys.
This is a comma-separated list of names, or for the controls adapted from dtterm the operation number. Where a number can be used as an alternative, it is given in parentheses after the name.
GetScreenSizeChars 19 Report the size of the screen in characters as numbers. GetSelection Report selection data as a base64 string. GetWinPosition 13 Report xterm window position as numbers. GetWinSizeChars 18 Report the size of the text area in characters as numbers. GetWinSizePixels 14 Report xterm window in pixels as numbers. GetWinState 11 Report xterm window state as a number. GetWinTitle 21 Report xterm window's title as a string. LowerWin 6 Lower the xterm window to the bottom of the stacking order.
MaximizeWin 9 Maximize window i. FullscreenWin 10 Use full screen i. MinimizeWin 2 Iconify window. PopTitle 23 Pop title from internal stack. PushTitle 22 Push title to internal stack. RaiseWin 5 Raise the xterm window to the front of the stacking order. RefreshWin 7 Refresh the xterm window. SetSelection Set selection data. SetWinLines Resize to a given number of lines, at least SetWinPosition 3 Move window to given coordinates. SetWinSizeChars 8 Resize the text area to given size in charac- ters.
SetWinSizePixels 4 Resize the xterm window to given size in pix- els. SetXprop Set X property on top-level window. The terminal is put into 8-bit mode. If "false", Meta characters are con- verted into a two-character sequence with the char- acter itself preceded by ESC.
On startup, xterm tries to put the terminal into 7-bit mode. The metaSendsEscape and altSendsEscape resources may override this. If they were synony- mous, it would have been reasonable to name this resource "altSendsEscape", reversing its sense. For more background on this, see the meta function in curses.
X defines modifiers for shift, caps lock and control, as well as 5 additional modifiers which are generally used to configure key modifiers. It also looks for the NumLock key, to recognize the modifier which is associated with that.
If your xmodmap configuration uses the same keycodes for Alt- and Meta-keys, xterm will only see the Alt- key definitions, since those are tested before Meta- keys. NumLock is tested first.
It is important to keep these keys distinct; otherwise some of xterm's functionality is not available. The default is "true," which means that they are accepted as is. The default is an empty string, i. There is no default value. If not specified, or if there is no match for both normal and bold fonts, xterm uses the bitmap font and related resources.
It is possible to select suitable bitmap fonts using a script such as this:! If the application uses double-wide characters and this resource is not given, xterm will use a scaled version of the font given by faceName. The default is " Although the default is " For example, the "fixed" font usually has a pointsize of "8.
If you set faceSize to match the size of the bitmap font, then switching between bitmap and TrueType fonts via the font menu will give comparable sizes for the window. You can specify the pointsize for TrueType fonts selected with the other size-related menu entries such as Medium, Huge, etc.
If you do not specify a value, they default to "0. If any are not set, xterm will use only the areas of the bitmap fonts. The default is "fixed. For instance, cat'ing a large file to the screen does this.
Some older font servers cannot do this properly, will return misleading font metrics. If disabled, xterm will simulate double-sized charac- ters by drawing normal characters with spaces between them.
The default is "1". Other fixed-pitch fonts may be more attractive, but lack these glyphs. If "false", xterm checks for missing glyphs in the font and makes line-drawing characters directly as needed.
If "true", xterm assumes the font does not contain the line-drawing characters, and draws them directly. Use the maximum width to help with propor- tional fonts. The default is "true," denoting the minimum width. Setting the class name instead of the instance name is an easy way to have everything that would normally appear in the text color change color. If "false", xterm compares them and will reject choices of bold fonts that do not match the size of the nor- mal font.
The default is "false", which means that the comparison is performed. If not specified i. The default is "XtDefaultFore- ground. The default is unspecified: at startup, xterm checks if those resources are set to something other than the default foreground and background colors. Setting this resource disables the check. If "true", xterm reverses the colors, If "false", xterm does not reverse colors, The default is "true.
If "true", xterm highlights only the positions that contain text that can be selected. Xterm stores data as it is shown on the screen. Erasing the display changes the internal state of each cell so it is not considered a blank for the purpose of selection. Blanks written since the last erase are selectable. If you do not wish to have trailing blanks in a selection, use the trimSelec- tion resource. Not all window managers will make the icon border visible. Not all window managers will make the border visible.
The default is "nil2". Values are the same as for the set-vt-font action. The default is "d", i. There is no default method.
It is implemented only for TrueType fonts. The value given is the same as the final character in the control sequences which change character sets. For other locales, xterm will use conventional 8bit mode. If so, it checks if the character encoding for the current locale is POSIX, Latin-1 or Latin-9, uses the appropriate mapping to support those with the Unicode font.
For other encodings, xterm assumes that UTF-8 encoding is required. Any other value, e. The actual list of sup- ported encodings depends on luit. The default is "medium". Regardless of your locale and encoding, you need an ISO font to display the result.
Your con- figuration may not include this font, or locale-sup- port by xterm may not be needed. At startup, xterm uses a mechanism equivalent to the load-vt- fonts utf8Fonts, Utf8Fonts action to load font name subresources of the VT widget. The resource files distributed with xterm use ISO fonts, but do not rely on them unless you are using the locale mechanism.
The help message shown by "xterm -help" lists the default value, which depends on your system configuration. If the encoding converter requires command-line parameters, you should put those within a shell script to execute the converter, and set this resource to point to the shell script.
This applies as well to function key control sequences, unless xterm sees that Meta is used in your key translations. If "false", Meta characters input from the keyboard are handled according to the eightBitInput resource. It tests the first mkSampleSize character values, and allows up to mkSamplePass mismatches before the test fails.
The default for the allowed number of mis- matches is The default number of characters to check is See also the cjkWidth resource which can override this. The default is "2": Set it to -1 to disable it. Set it to 1 to prefix modified sequences with CSI.
Set it to 2 to force the modifier to be the second parameter if it would otherwise be the first. The resource values are similar to modifyCursorKeys: Set it to -1 to permit the user to use shift- and control-modifiers to construct function-key strings using the normal encoding scheme.
If modifyFunctionKeys is zero, xterm uses Control- and Shift-modifiers to allow the user to construct numbered function-keys beyond the set provided by the keyboard: Control adds the value given by the ctrlFKeys resource. As a special case, legacy when oldFunctionKeys is true or vt when sunKeyboard is true keyboards interpret only the Control-modifier when construct- ing numbered function-keys. This feature does not apply to function keys and well- defined keys such as ESC or the control keys.
The default is "0": 0 disables this feature. The default is "" milliseconds. If so, this modifier is used to simplify the logic when implementing special NumLock for the sunKeyboard resource. Multiple mouse clicks using the button which activates the select-start action are interpreted according to the resource values of on2Clicks, etc. The resource value can be one of these: word Select a "word" as determined by the charClass resource.
The selection stops on a blank line, and does not extend outside the current page. For example, you may use it to disable triple and higher clicking by setting on3Clicks to "none".
The default values for on2Clicks and on3Clicks are "word" and "line", respectively. There is no default value for on4Clicks or on5Clicks, making those inactive. On startup, xterm determines the maximum number of clicks by the onXClicks resource values which are set.
It will be redisplayed if the user moves the mouse, or clicks one of its buttons. This is the default. The default is "xterm. However, the zIconBeep resource provides you with the ability to see which iconified windows have sounded a bell. The default is "OverTheS- pot,Root".
A real DEC VTxxx terminal will print the underline, highlighting codes but your printer may not handle these. Set this resource to the prefix of the filename a time- stamp will be appended to the actual name. To enable the feature, set this resource to the pre- fix of the filename a timestamp will be appended to the actual name. However, when the print-on- error action is invoked, if the string is empty, then "XTermError" is used.
You can use the printModeImmediate resource to tell it to use escape sequences to reconstruct the video attributes and colors. This uses the same values as the printAttributes resource. The default is "0". You can use the printModeOnXEr- ror resource to tell it to use escape sequences to reconstruct the video attributes and colors. In that case, only the alternate screen is selectd.
The default is "9", which selects the current visi- ble screen plus saved lines, with no special case for the alternated screen. The resource value is interpreted the same as in print- OptsImmediate. A "1" selects autoprint mode, which causes xterm to print a line from the screen when you move the cursor off that line with a line feed, form feed or vertical tab character, or an autowrap occurs.
Autoprint mode is overridden by printer controller mode a "2" , which causes all of the output to be directed to the printer. The default is "default. If there is no value for faceName, disable the feature and use the normal bitmap font. If there is no faceName resource set, then run- time switching to TrueType fonts is disabled.
Xterm has a separate compiled-in value for faceName for the special case where renderFont is "default". That is normally "mono". NorthWest specifies that the top line of text on the screen stay fixed. If the window is made shorter, lines are dropped from the bottom; if the window is made taller, blank lines are added at the bottom. This is compatible with the behavior in R4. SouthWest the default speci- fies that the bottom line of text on the screen stay fixed.
If the window is made taller, additional saved lines will be scrolled down onto the screen; if the window is made shorter, lines will be scrolled off the top of the screen, and the top saved lines will be dropped. This is a different issue than unsupported preedit type, etc. You may encounter retries if your X configuration and its libraries are missing pieces.
Xterm's command-line options set resource values. In particular, the X Toolkit sets the reverseVideo resource when the -rv option is used. Instead, it examines the resource values to reconstruct the command-line options, and determine which of the colors is the user's intended foreground, etc.
Their actual values are irrelevant to the reverse video function; some users prefer the X defaults black text on a white background , others prefer white text on a black background.
This exchanges the current foreground and background colors of the VT widget, and repaints the screen. Because of the X resource hierarchy, the reverseVideo resource applies to more than the VT widget. Programs running in an xterm can also use control sequences to enable the VT reverse video mode.
These are independent of the reverseVideo resource and the menu entry. Xterm exchanges the current foreground and background colors when drawing text affected by these control sequences. Other control sequences can alter the foreground and background colors which are used: o Programs can also use the ANSI color control sequences to set the foreground and background colors. This corresponds to xterm's private mode Note that this is drawn to overlap the border of the xterm window.
Modifying the scrollbar's border affects only the line between the VT widget and the scrollbar. The default value is 1. The set-select action can change this at runtime, allow- ing the user to work with programs that handle only one of these mechanisms. If xterm has not been configured to support blinking text, the default is "true. The mark shows which lines have the flag set. This is useful when running xterm on displays with small screens. This is only in effect if titeInhibit is "true", because the intent of this option is to provide a picture of the full-screen application's display on the scrollback without wip- ing out the text that would be shown before the application was initialized.
The default for this resource is "false. If set, xterm also ignores the escape sequence to switch to the alternate screen.
Xterm supports terminfo in a different way, supporting composite control sequences also known as private modes , and which have the same effect as the original 47 control sequence. Either can be encoded in hexadecimal. The default for this resource is "0". Each bit bit "0" is 1, bit "1" is 2, etc. The transla- tions resource, which provides much of xterm's con- figurability, is a feature of the X Toolkit Intrin- sics library Xt.
Clearing the screen or a line resets it to a state containing no spaces. Some lines may contain trail- ing spaces when an application writes them to the screen.
However, you may not wish to paste lines with trailing spaces. If this resource is true, xterm will trim trailing spaces from text which is selected. It does not affect spaces which result in a wrapped line, nor will it trim the trailing new- line from your selection. Origi- nally used to work around for overstriking effects, this is also needed to work with some incorrectly- sized fonts. If you set this resource, xterm also sets the wideChars resource as a side-effect. The resource can be set via the menu entry "UTF-8 Encoding".
It is changed during initialization depending on whether the locale resource was set, to false 0 or always 2. See the locale resource for addi- tional discussion of non-UTF-8 locales. If you want to set the value of utf8, it should be in this range. Other nonzero values are treated the same as "1", i.
The resource can be set via the menu entry "UTF-8 Fonts". The menu entry is enabled, allowing the choice of fonts to be changed at runtime.

The easiest way is to just use ssh -X or -Y, see man ssh 1 as client : ssh -Y solaris in order to connect to the remote machine; you need login info too This just sets up an X connection, tunneled through ssh. Charlie Martin Charlie Martin k 23 23 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Thought it would; I use it all the time to work on my Solaris box from my Mac desktop. Annoyingly, there are versions of ssh around that want the -X argument instead; keep that in mind.
As Charlie mentioned, use ssh -X hostname when connecting. Hope that helps. Eric Wendelin Eric Wendelin Set the display to your linux IP address, not localhost. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password. Post as a guest Name.
