*term.txt* For Vim version 8.2. Last change: 2021 Dec 21 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar Terminal information *terminal-info* Vim uses information about the terminal you are using to fill the screen and recognize what keys you hit. If this information is not correct, the screen may be messed up or keys may not be recognized. The actions which have to be performed on the screen are accomplished by outputting a string of characters. Special keys produce a string of characters. These strings are stored in the terminal options, see |terminal-options|. NOTE: Most of this is not used when running the |GUI|. 1. Startup |startup-terminal| 2. Terminal options |terminal-options| 3. Window size |window-size| 4. Slow and fast terminals |slow-fast-terminal| 5. Using the mouse |mouse-using| ============================================================================== 1. Startup *startup-terminal* When Vim is started a default terminal type is assumed. For the Amiga this is a standard CLI window, for MS-Windows the pc terminal, for Unix an ansi terminal. A few other terminal types are always available, see below |builtin-terms|. You can give the terminal name with the '-T' Vim argument. If it is not given Vim will try to get the name from the TERM environment variable. *termcap* *terminfo* *E557* *E558* *E559* On Unix the terminfo database or termcap file is used. This is referred to as "termcap" in all the documentation. At compile time, when running configure, the choice whether to use terminfo or termcap is done automatically. When running Vim the output of ":version" will show |+terminfo| if terminfo is used. Also see |xterm-screens|. On non-Unix systems a termcap is only available if Vim was compiled with TERMCAP defined. *builtin-terms* *builtin_terms* Which builtin terminals are available depends on a few defines in feature.h, which need to be set at compile time: define output of ":version" terminals builtin ~ NO_BUILTIN_TCAPS -builtin_terms none SOME_BUILTIN_TCAPS +builtin_terms most common ones (default) ALL_BUILTIN_TCAPS ++builtin_terms all available You can see a list of available builtin terminals with ":set term=xxx" (when not running the GUI). Also see |+builtin_terms|. If the termcap code is included Vim will try to get the strings for the terminal you are using from the termcap file and the builtin termcaps. Both are always used, if an entry for the terminal you are using is present. Which one is used first depends on the 'ttybuiltin' option: 'ttybuiltin' on 1: builtin termcap 2: external termcap 'ttybuiltin' off 1: external termcap 2: builtin termcap If an option is missing in one of them, it will be obtained from the other one. If an option is present in both, the one first encountered is used. Which external termcap file is used varies from system to system and may depend on the environment variables "TERMCAP" and "TERMPATH". See "man tgetent". Settings depending on terminal *term-dependent-settings* If you want to set options or mappings, depending on the terminal name, you can do this best in your .vimrc. Example: > if &term == "xterm" ... xterm maps and settings ... elseif &term =~ "vt10." ... vt100, vt102 maps and settings ... endif < *raw-terminal-mode* For normal editing the terminal will be put into "raw" mode. The strings defined with 't_ti', 't_TI' and 't_ks' will be sent to the terminal. Normally this puts the terminal in a state where the termcap codes are valid and activates the cursor and function keys. When Vim exits the terminal will be put back into the mode it was before Vim started. The strings defined with 't_te', 't_TE' and 't_ke' will be sent to the terminal. On the Amiga, with commands that execute an external command (e.g., "!!"), the terminal will be put into Normal mode for a moment. This means that you can stop the output to the screen by hitting a printing key. Output resumes when you hit
. Note: When 't_ti' is not empty, Vim assumes that it causes switching to the alternate screen. This may slightly change what happens when executing a shell command or exiting Vim. To avoid this use 't_TI' and 't_TE'. *xterm-bracketed-paste* When the 't_BE' option is set then 't_BE' will be sent to the terminal when entering "raw" mode and 't_BD' when leaving "raw" mode. The terminal is then expected to put 't_PS' before pasted text and 't_PE' after pasted text. This way Vim can separate text that is pasted from characters that are typed. The pasted text is handled like when the middle mouse button is used, it is inserted literally and not interpreted as commands. When the cursor is in the first column, the pasted text will be inserted before it. Otherwise the pasted text is appended after the cursor position. This means one cannot paste after the first column. Unfortunately Vim does not have a way to tell where the mouse pointer was. Note that in some situations Vim will not recognize the bracketed paste and you will get the raw text. In other situations Vim will only get the first pasted character and drop the rest, e.g. when using the "r" command. If you have a problem with this, disable bracketed paste by putting this in your .vimrc: > set t_BE= If this is done while Vim is running the 't_BD' will be sent to the terminal to disable bracketed paste. If your terminal supports bracketed paste, but the options are not set automatically, you can try using something like this: > if &term =~ "screen" let &t_BE = "\e[?2004h" let &t_BD = "\e[?2004l" exec "set t_PS=\e[200~" exec "set t_PE=\e[201~" endif < *tmux-integration* If you experience issues when running Vim inside tmux, here are a few hints. You can comment-out parts if something doesn't work (it may depend on the terminal that tmux is running in): > if !has('gui_running') && &term =~ '^\%(screen\|tmux\)' " Better mouse support, see :help 'ttymouse' set ttymouse=sgr " Enable true colors, see :help xterm-true-color let &termguicolors = v:true let &t_8f = "\
[38;2;%lu;%lu;%lum" let &t_8b = "\
[48;2;%lu;%lu;%lum" " Enable bracketed paste mode, see :help xterm-bracketed-paste let &t_BE = "\
[?2004h" let &t_BD = "\
[?2004l" let &t_PS = "\
[200~" let &t_PE = "\
[201~" " Enable focus event tracking, see :help xterm-focus-event let &t_fe = "\
[?1004h" let &t_fd = "\
[?1004l" execute "set
=\
[I" execute "set
=\
[O" " Enable modified arrow keys, see :help arrow_modifiers execute "silent! set
=\
[@;*A" execute "silent! set
=\
[@;*B" execute "silent! set
=\
[@;*C" execute "silent! set
=\
[@;*D" endif < *cs7-problem* Note: If the terminal settings are changed after running Vim, you might have an illegal combination of settings. This has been reported on Solaris 2.5 with "stty cs8 parenb", which is restored as "stty cs7 parenb". Use "stty cs8 -parenb -istrip" instead, this is restored correctly. Some termcap entries are wrong in the sense that after sending 't_ks' the cursor keys send codes different from the codes defined in the termcap. To avoid this you can set 't_ks' (and 't_ke') to empty strings. This must be done during initialization (see |initialization|), otherwise it's too late. Some termcap entries assume that the highest bit is always reset. For example: The cursor-up entry for the Amiga could be ":ku=\E[A:". But the Amiga really sends "\233A". This works fine if the highest bit is reset, e.g., when using an Amiga over a serial line. If the cursor keys don't work, try the entry ":ku=\233A:". Some termcap entries have the entry ":ku=\E[A:". But the Amiga really sends "\233A". On output "\E[" and "\233" are often equivalent, on input they aren't. You will have to change the termcap entry, or change the key code with the :set command to fix this. Many cursor key codes start with an
. Vim must find out if this is a single hit of the
key or the start of a cursor key sequence. It waits for a next character to arrive. If it does not arrive within one second a single
is assumed. On very slow systems this may fail, causing cursor keys not to work sometimes. If you discover this problem reset the 'timeout' option. Vim will wait for the next character to arrive after an
. If you want to enter a single
you must type it twice. Resetting the 'esckeys' option avoids this problem in Insert mode, but you lose the possibility to use cursor and function keys in Insert mode. On the Amiga the recognition of window resizing is activated only when the terminal name is "amiga" or "builtin_amiga". Some terminals have confusing codes for the cursor keys. The televideo 925 is such a terminal. It sends a CTRL-H for cursor-left. This would make it impossible to distinguish a backspace and cursor-left. To avoid this problem CTRL-H is never recognized as cursor-left. *vt100-cursor-keys* *xterm-cursor-keys* Other terminals (e.g., vt100 and xterm) have cursor keys that send
OA,
OB, etc. Unfortunately these are valid commands in insert mode: Stop insert, Open a new line above the new one, start inserting 'A', 'B', etc. Instead of performing these commands Vim will erroneously recognize this typed key sequence as a cursor key movement. To avoid this and make Vim do what you want in either case you could use these settings: > :set notimeout " don't timeout on mappings :set ttimeout " do timeout on terminal key codes :set timeoutlen=100 " timeout after 100 msec This requires the key-codes to be sent within 100 msec in order to recognize them as a cursor key. When you type you normally are not that fast, so they are recognized as individual typed commands, even though Vim receives the same sequence of bytes. *vt100-function-keys* *xterm-function-keys* An xterm can send function keys F1 to F4 in two modes: vt100 compatible or not. Because Vim may not know what the xterm is sending, both types of keys are recognized. The same happens for the
and
keys. normal vt100 ~

-xterm* When Vim starts,
is mapped to
,
to
etc. This means that by default both codes do the same thing. If you make a mapping for
, because your terminal does have two keys, the default mapping is overwritten, thus you can use the
and
keys for something different. *xterm-shifted-keys* Newer versions of xterm support shifted function keys and special keys. Vim recognizes most of them. Use ":set termcap" to check which are supported and what the codes are. Mostly these are not in a termcap, they are only supported by the builtin_xterm termcap. *xterm-modifier-keys* Newer versions of xterm support Alt and Ctrl for most function keys. To avoid having to add all combinations of Alt, Ctrl and Shift for every key a special sequence is recognized at the end of a termcap entry: ";*X". The "X" can be any character, often '~' is used. The ";*" stands for an optional modifier argument. ";2" is Shift, ";3" is Alt, ";5" is Ctrl and ";9" is Meta (when it's different from Alt). They can be combined. Examples: > :set
=^[[19;*~ :set
=^[[1;*H Another speciality about these codes is that they are not overwritten by another code. That is to avoid that the codes obtained from xterm directly |t_RV| overwrite them. Another special value is a termcap entry ending in "@;*X". This is for cursor keys, which either use "CSI X" or "CSI 1 ; modifier X". Thus the "@" stands for either "1" if a modifier follows, or nothing. *arrow_modifiers* Several terminal emulators (alacritty, gnome, konsole, etc.) send special codes for keys with modifiers, but these do not have an entry in the termcap/terminfo database. You can make them work by adding a few lines in your vimrc. For example, to make the Control modifier work with arrow keys for the gnome terminal: > if &term =~ 'gnome' execute "set
=\
[@;*A" execute "set
=\
[@;*B" execute "set
=\
[@;*C" execute "set
=\
[@;*D" endif < *xterm-scroll-region* The default termcap entry for xterm on Sun and other platforms does not contain the entry for scroll regions. Add ":cs=\E[%i%d;%dr:" to the xterm entry in /etc/termcap and everything should work. *xterm-end-home-keys* On some systems (at least on FreeBSD with XFree86 3.1.2) the codes that the
and
keys send contain a
character. To make these keys send the proper key code, add these lines to your ~/.Xdefaults file: *VT100.Translations: #override \n\
Home: string("0x1b") string("[7~") \n\
End: string("0x1b") string("[8~") *xterm-8bit* *xterm-8-bit* Xterm can be run in a mode where it uses 8-bit escape sequences. The CSI code is used instead of
[. The advantage is that an
can quickly be recognized in Insert mode, because it can't be confused with the start of a special key. For the builtin termcap entries, Vim checks if the 'term' option contains "8bit" anywhere. It then uses 8-bit characters for the termcap entries, the mouse and a few other things. You would normally set $TERM in your shell to "xterm-8bit" and Vim picks this up and adjusts to the 8-bit setting automatically. When Vim receives a response to the |t_RV| (request version) sequence and it starts with CSI, it assumes that the terminal is in 8-bit mode and will convert all key sequences to their 8-bit variants. ============================================================================== 2. Terminal options *terminal-options* *termcap-options* *E436* The terminal options can be set just like normal options. But they are not shown with the ":set all" command. Instead use ":set termcap". It is always possible to change individual strings by setting the appropriate option. For example: > :set t_ce=^V^[[K (CTRL-V,
, [, K) The options are listed below. The associated termcap code is always equal to the last two characters of the option name. Only one termcap code is required: Cursor motion, 't_cm'. The options 't_da', 't_db', 't_ms', 't_xs', 't_xn' represent flags in the termcap. When the termcap flag is present, the option will be set to "y". But any non-empty string means that the flag is set. An empty string means that the flag is not set. 't_CS' works like this too, but it isn't a termcap flag.

And vice versa. The same is done for "se" and "me". If your terminal supports both inversion and standout mode, you can see two different modes. If your terminal supports only one of the modes, both will look the same. *keypad-comma* The keypad keys, when they are not mapped, behave like the equivalent normal key. There is one exception: if you have a comma on the keypad instead of a decimal point, Vim will use a dot anyway. Use these mappings to fix that: > :noremap
, :noremap!
, < *xterm-codes* There is a special trick to obtain the key codes which currently only works for xterm. When |t_RV| is defined and a response is received which indicates an xterm with patchlevel 141 or higher, Vim uses special escape sequences to request the key codes directly from the xterm. The responses are used to adjust the various t_ codes. This avoids the problem that the xterm can produce different codes, depending on the mode it is in (8-bit, VT102, VT220, etc.). The result is that codes like
are no longer needed. One of the codes that can change is 't_Co', the number of colors. This will trigger a redraw. If this is a problem, reset the 'xtermcodes' option as early as possible: > set noxtermcodes Note: Requesting the key codes is only done on startup. If the xterm options are changed after Vim has started, the escape sequences may not be recognized anymore. *xterm-true-color* Vim supports using true colors in the terminal (taken from |highlight-guifg| and |highlight-guibg|), given that the terminal supports this. To make this work the 'termguicolors' option needs to be set. See https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728 for a list of terminals that support true colors. Sometimes setting 'termguicolors' is not enough and one has to set the |t_8f| and |t_8b| options explicitly. Default values of these options are "^[[38;2;%lu;%lu;%lum" and "^[[48;2;%lu;%lu;%lum" respectively, but it is only set when `$TERM` is `xterm`. Some terminals accept the same sequences, but with all semicolons replaced by colons (this is actually more compatible, but less widely supported): > let &t_8f = "\
[38:2:%lu:%lu:%lum" let &t_8b = "\
[48:2:%lu:%lu:%lum" These options contain printf strings, with |printf()| (actually, its C equivalent hence `l` modifier) invoked with the t_ option value and three unsigned long integers that may have any value between 0 and 255 (inclusive) representing red, green and blue colors respectively. *xterm-resize* Window resizing with xterm only works if the allowWindowOps resource is enabled. On some systems and versions of xterm it's disabled by default because someone thought it would be a security issue. It's not clear if this is actually the case. To overrule the default, put this line in your ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources: > XTerm*allowWindowOps: true And run "xrdb -merge .Xresources" to make it effective. You can check the value with the context menu (right mouse button while CTRL key is pressed), there should be a tick at allow-window-ops. *xterm-focus-event* Some terminals including xterm support the focus event tracking feature. If this feature is enabled by the 't_fe' sequence, special key sequences are sent from the terminal to Vim every time the terminal gains or loses focus. Vim fires focus events (|FocusGained|/|FocusLost|) by handling them accordingly. Focus event tracking is disabled by a 't_fd' sequence when exiting "raw" mode. If you would like to disable this feature, add the following to your .vimrc: `set t_fd=` `set t_fe=` If your terminal does support this but Vim does not recognize the terminal, you may have to set the options yourself: > let &t_fe = "\
[?1004h" let &t_fd = "\
[?1004l" execute "set
=\
[I" execute "set
=\
[O" If this causes garbage to show when Vim starts up then it doesn't work. *termcap-colors* Note about colors: The 't_Co' option tells Vim the number of colors available. When it is non-zero, the 't_AB' and 't_AF' options are used to set the color. If one of these is not available, 't_Sb' and 't_Sf' are used. 't_me' is used to reset to the default colors. Also see 'termguicolors'. When the GUI is running 't_Co' is set to 16777216. *termcap-cursor-shape* *termcap-cursor-color* When Vim enters Insert mode the 't_SI' escape sequence is sent. When Vim enters Replace mode the 't_SR' escape sequence is sent if it is set, otherwise 't_SI' is sent. When leaving Insert mode or Replace mode 't_EI' is used. This can be used to change the shape or color of the cursor in Insert or Replace mode. These are not standard termcap/terminfo entries, you need to set them yourself. Example for an xterm, this changes the color of the cursor: > if &term =~ "xterm" let &t_SI = "\
]12;purple\x7" let &t_SR = "\
]12;red\x7" let &t_EI = "\
]12;blue\x7" endif NOTE: When Vim exits the shape for Normal mode will remain. The shape from before Vim started will not be restored. {not available when compiled without the |+cursorshape| feature} *termcap-title* The 't_ts' and 't_fs' options are used to set the window title if the terminal allows title setting via sending strings. They are sent before and after the title string, respectively. Similar 't_IS' and 't_IE' are used to set the icon text. These are Vim-internal extensions of the Unix termcap, so they cannot be obtained from an external termcap. However, the builtin termcap contains suitable entries for xterm and iris-ansi, so you don't need to set them here. *hpterm* If inversion or other highlighting does not work correctly, try setting the 't_xs' option to a non-empty string. This makes the 't_ce' code be used to remove highlighting from a line. This is required for "hpterm". Setting the 'weirdinvert' option has the same effect as making 't_xs' non-empty, and vice versa. *scroll-region* Some termcaps do not include an entry for "cs" (scroll region), although the terminal does support it. For example: xterm on a Sun. You can use the builtin_xterm or define t_cs yourself. For example: > :set t_cs=^V^[[%i%d;%dr Where ^V is CTRL-V and ^[ is
