ANSI escape sequences are a standard for in-ring signaling to control cursor location, color, font styling, and other options on video text terminals and terminal emulators. Certain sequences of bytes, most starting with an ASCII escape character and a subclass character, are embedded into text. The final interprets these sequences as commands, rather than text to display verbatim.

ANSI sequences were introduced in the 1970s to supplant vendor-specific sequences and became widespread in the computer equipment market by the early 1980s. They are used in development, scientific, commercial text-based applications equally well equally bulletin lath systems to offer standardized functionality.

Although hardware text terminals have get increasingly rare in the 21st century, the relevance of the ANSI standard persists considering a great majority of terminal emulators and control consoles interpret at least a portion of the ANSI standard.

History [edit]

Almost all manufacturers of video terminals added vendor-specific escape sequences to perform operations such as placing the cursor at arbitrary positions on the screen. I example is the VT52 terminal, which allowed the cursor to be placed at an 10,y location on the screen past sending the ESC character, a Y character, then ii characters representing with numerical values equal to the x,y location plus 32 (thus starting at the ASCII space character and avoiding the control characters). The Hazeltine 1500 had a like feature, invoked using ~, DC1 and then the X and Y positions separated with a comma. While the two terminals had identical functionality in this regard, different control sequences had to exist used to invoke them.

As these sequences were dissimilar for different terminals, elaborate libraries such as termcap ("terminal capabilities") and utilities such as tput had to exist created so programs could use the same API to work with any concluding. In addition, many of these terminals required sending numbers (such every bit row and column) as the binary values of the characters; for some programming languages, and for systems that did not utilise ASCII internally, it was ofttimes hard to turn a number into the correct character.

The ANSI standard attempted to address these problems by making a command set up that all terminals would use and requiring all numeric information to be transmitted as ASCII numbers. The commencement standard in the series was ECMA-48, adopted in 1976.[ane] Information technology was a continuation of a series of grapheme coding standards, the beginning ane existence ECMA-vi from 1965, a seven-bit standard from which ISO 646 originates. The name "ANSI escape sequence" dates from 1979 when ANSI adopted ANSI X3.64. The ANSI X3L2 committee collaborated with the ECMA committee TC 1 to produce nearly identical standards. These 2 standards were merged into an international standard, ISO 6429.[ane] In 1994, ANSI withdrew its standard in favor of the international standard.

DEC VT100 terminal

The December VT100 video display terminal.

The beginning popular video terminal to support these sequences was the Digital VT100, introduced in 1978.[2] This model was very successful in the market place, which sparked a variety of VT100 clones, amongst the earliest and most popular of which was the much more than affordable Zenith Z-19 in 1979.[3] Others included the Qume QVT-108, Televideo TVI-970, Wyse WY-99GT besides as optional "VT100" or "VT103" or "ANSI" modes with varying degrees of compatibility on many other brands. The popularity of these gradually led to more than and more software (especially bulletin board systems and other online services) assuming the escape sequences worked, leading to most all new terminals and emulator programs supporting them.

In 1981, ANSI X3.64 was adopted for apply in the US government by FIPS publication 86. Subsequently, the Usa regime stopped duplicating industry standards, and then FIPS pub. 86 was withdrawn.[4]

ECMA-48 has been updated several times and is currently at its 5th edition, from 1991. It is likewise adopted past ISO and IEC every bit standard ISO/IEC 6429.[v] A version is adopted equally a Japanese Industrial Standard, as JIS X 0211.

Related standards include ITU T.61, the Teletex standard, and the ISO/IEC 8613, the Open Document Architecture standard (mainly ISO/IEC 8613-6 or ITU T.416). The two systems share many escape codes with the ANSI system, with extensions that are not necessarily meaningful to computer terminals. Both systems chop-chop fell into disuse, merely ECMA-48 does marker the extensions used in them as reserved.

Platform support [edit]

Unix-like systems [edit]

Xterm terminal emulator

The Xterm terminal emulator.

On these systems the last (or emulator) self-identifies using the $TERM environment variable. A database library such equally termcap or terminfo would perform a lookup to derive the capabilities of the terminal and specific escape sequences to use the capabilities, which may deviate from ANSI in early days.

Although such libraries were primarily developed on and for Unix, past the mid-1980s programs running on Unix-like operating systems could about always assume they were using a terminal or emulator that supported ANSI sequences;[ citation needed ] this led to widespread use of ANSI by programs running on those platforms. For instance, many games and shell scripts, and utilities such as color directory listings, directly write the ANSI sequences and thus cannot be used on a last that does non interpret them. Many programs, including text editors such as vi and GNU Emacs, apply termcap or terminfo, or employ libraries such as curses that use termcap or terminfo, and thus in theory support not-ANSI terminals, but this is so rarely tested nowadays that they are unlikely to work with those terminals.[ commendation needed ]

Terminal emulators for communicating with local programs also every bit remote machines and the text arrangement panel almost always support ANSI escape codes. This includes concluding emulators such as xterm, rxvt, GNOME Terminal, and Konsole on systems with X11-based or Wayland-based window systems, and Last.app and third-party terminal emulators such as iTerm2 on macOS.

CP/1000 [edit]

A 1980s Kaypro II, a CP/Yard-eighty PC. It natively emulated ADM-3A and also supported a concluding mode (being demonstrated).

CP/Thou machines varied and several competing terminals existed, like for printers, each with their own command sequences. Some early systems were headless (needing an external terminal) and personal computers with a native screen typically emulated a terminal. Application developers had to back up diverse popular terminals and to provide an installation program to configure them. Despite the CP/M hardware brainchild layer (BIOS), fifty-fifty for the aforementioned microprocessor, vendors provided platform-specific versions due to the competing deejay formats, that would as well be preconfigured for the native terminal (for example, various machine-specific WordStar adaptations were released).

The headless Altair 8800 was typically connected to a teletype such equally the Model 33 ASR or to an external last similar the TeleVideo 920C, needing to output their respective sequences.[six] The Osborne one and Kaypro II computers natively emulated a subset of the TeleVideo 920C and ADM-3A command codes, respectively.[7] [eight] The TRS-80 Model 4 and the Xerox 820 also emulated the Lear Siegler ADM-3A.[nine] [10] The Zenith Z-89, Heathkit H8 and Amstrad PCW CP/Grand-80 computers implemented the Zenith Z19 (Heathkit H19) concluding codes, mostly compatible with VT52, the Z-89 manual also describes it every bit supporting ANSI.[xi] [12]

The Microsoft Z-fourscore SoftCard for the Apple tree Two emulated a limited subset of the Videx Videoterm, corresponding to the Datamedia 1520 sequences that the UCSD-based Apple Pascal supported. Its CP/M had the CONFIGIO control to adapt external terminals or run local applications that issued other control codes. Supported external terminals were the Soroc IQ 120/140 and Hazeltine 1500/1510.[xiii] [14]

DOS, Bone/2, and Windows [edit]

MS-DOS 1.x did non support the ANSI or any other escape sequences. Only a few control characters (BEL, CR, LF, BS) were interpreted by the underlying BIOS, making information technology near[a] impossible to do any kind of full-screen awarding. Any display effects had to be washed with BIOS calls, which were notoriously slow, or by directly manipulating the IBM PC hardware.

DOS 2.0 introduced the ability to add a device commuter for the ANSI escape sequences – the de facto standard being ANSI.SYS, but others like ANSI.COM,[15] NANSI.SYS [16] and ANSIPLUS.EXE are used every bit well (these are considerably faster as they bypass the BIOS). Slowness and the fact that it was not installed past default made software rarely take advantage of information technology; instead, applications continued to directly dispense the hardware to get the text brandish needed.[ commendation needed ] ANSI.SYS and similar drivers continued to work in Windows 9x upward to Windows Me, and in NT-derived systems for 16-scrap legacy programs executing nether the NTVDM.

Many clones of DOS were able to interpret the sequences and do not require a separate ANSI driver to exist loaded. PTS-DOS[17] [18] as well as Concurrent DOS, Multiuser DOS[19] and REAL/32 have built-in support (plus a number of extensions). Os/2 had an ANSI control that enabled the sequences.

The Windows Console did not support ANSI escape sequences, nor did Microsoft provide any method to enable them. Some replacements or additions for the console window such as JP Software'south TCC (formerly 4NT), Michael J. Mefford's ANSI.COM, Jason Hood'due south ANSICON [20] and Maximus5's ConEmu interpreted ANSI escape sequences printed past programs. A Python package named colorama [21] internally interpretes ANSI escape sequences in text being printed, translating them to win32 calls to modify the land of the terminal, to make information technology easier to port Python lawmaking using ANSI to Windows. Cygwin performs similar translation to all output written to the console using Cygwin file descriptors, the filtering is done by the output functions of cygwin1.dll, to allow porting of POSIX C code to Windows.

In 2016, Microsoft released the Windows 10 version 1511 update which unexpectedly implemented support for ANSI escape sequences, over two decades after the debut of Windows NT.[22] This was done alongside Windows Subsystem for Linux, allowing Unix-like terminal-based software to apply the sequences in Windows Console. Unfortunately this defaults to off, but Windows PowerShell 5.1 enabled information technology. PowerShell 6 made it possible to embed the necessary ESC grapheme into a cord with `e.[23] Windows Terminal, introduced in 2019, supports the sequences by default, and Microsoft intends to replace the Windows Console with Windows Terminal.[24]

Atari ST [edit]

The Atari ST used the command system adapted from the VT52 with some expansions for colour support,[25] rather than supporting ANSI escape codes.

AmigaOS [edit]

AmigaOS non only interprets ANSI code sequences for text output to the screen, the AmigaOS printer driver also interprets them (with extensions proprietary to AmigaOS) and translates them into the codes required for the particular printer that is really attached.[26]

ESC [ n t Sets maximum number of lines in window to n.
ESC [ n 10 Starts text northward pixels from left edge of window.
ESC [ n y Starts text northward pixels from superlative edge of window.

VMS / OpenVMS [edit]

VMS was designed to be controlled using Digital's text-based video terminals such as the aforementioned VT100; thus software tends to write the ANSI escape sequences direct (and will not work on non-ANSI terminals).[27] [ failed verification ]

Description [edit]

C0 control codes [edit]

Almost all users assume some functions of some single-byte characters. Initially defined as part of ASCII, the default C0 command lawmaking set is now defined in ISO 6429 (ECMA-48), making it office of the same standard equally the C1 set invoked by the ANSI escape sequences (although ISO 2022 allows the ISO 6429 C0 set to be used without the ISO 6429 C1 set, and vice versa, provided that 0x1B is always ESC). This is used to shorten the corporeality of information transmitted, or to perform some functions that are unavailable from escape sequences:

Popular C0 command codes (non an exhaustive list)
^ C0 Abbr Name Result
^G 7 BEL Bong Makes an audible racket.
^H 8 BS Backspace Moves the cursor left (merely may "backwards wrap" if cursor is at start of line).
^I ix HT Tab Moves the cursor right to next multiple of 8.
^J 0x0A LF Line Feed Moves to side by side line, scrolls the display up if at lesser of the screen. Commonly does not motion horizontally, though programs should non rely on this.
^L 0x0C FF Grade Feed Move a printer to top of next page. Usually does not move horizontally, though programs should not rely on this. Effect on video terminals varies.
^Grand 0x0D CR Carriage Return Moves the cursor to cavalcade zero.
^[ 0x1B ESC Escape Starts all the escape sequences

Escape sequences vary in length. The general format for an ANSI-compliant escape sequence is defined by ANSI X3.41 (equivalent to ECMA-35 or ISO/IEC 2022).[28] : 13.1 The escape sequences consist simply of bytes in the range 0x20—0x7F (all the non-command ASCII characters), and can be parsed without looking alee. The beliefs when a control graphic symbol, a byte with the high bit set up, or a byte that is not part of any valid sequence, is encountered before the terminate is undefined.

Fe Escape sequences [edit]

If the ESC is followed by a byte in the range 0x40 to 0x5F, the escape sequence is of type Fe. Its interpretation is delegated to the applicable C1 control lawmaking standard.[28] : 13.two.1 Accordingly, all escape sequences corresponding to C1 control codes from ANSI X3.64 / ECMA-48 follow this format.[5] : 5.3.a

The standard says that, in eight-bit environments, the command functions corresponding to blazon Fe escape sequences (those from the set of C1 command codes) tin can exist represented every bit single bytes in the 0x80–0x9F range.[five] : 5.three.b This is possible in character encodings conforming to the provisions for an viii-bit code made in ISO 2022, such as the ISO 8859 serial. Nonetheless, in graphic symbol encodings used on modern devices such as UTF-8 or CP-1252, those codes are oftentimes used for other purposes, so merely the two-byte sequence is typically used. In the instance of UTF-viii, representing a C1 command code via the C1 Controls and Latin-i Supplement block results in a different two-byte lawmaking (due east.g. 0xC2,0x8E for U+008E), but no space is saved this fashion.

CSI (Command Sequence Introducer) sequences [edit]

For Command Sequence Introducer, or CSI, commands, the ESC [ is followed by any number (including none) of "parameter bytes" in the range 0x30–0x3F (ASCII 0–nine:;<=>?), then past any number of "intermediate bytes" in the range 0x20–0x2F (ASCII space and !"#$%&'()*+,-./), then finally past a single "final byte" in the range 0x40–0x7E (ASCII @A–Z[\]^_`a–z{|}~).[5] : 5.4

All common sequences but use the parameters equally a series of semicolon-separated numbers such as 1;two;3. Missing numbers are treated as 0 (i;;three acts like the middle number is 0, and no parameters at all in ESC[chiliad acts like a 0 reset code). Some sequences (such as CUU) care for 0 every bit 1 in order to brand missing parameters useful.[5] : F.4.2

A subset of arrangements was alleged "private" so that terminal manufacturers could insert their own sequences without conflicting with the standard. Sequences containing the parameter bytes <=>? or the final bytes 0x70–0x7E (p–z{|}~) are individual.

The beliefs of the final is undefined in the case where a CSI sequence contains any graphic symbol outside of the range 0x20–0x7E. These illegal characters are either C0 control characters (the range 0–0x1F), DEL (0x7F), or bytes with the high bit set. Possible responses are to ignore the byte, to process it immediately, and furthermore whether to go along with the CSI sequence, to arrest information technology immediately, or to ignore the rest of it.[ citation needed ]

If n is ii, articulate unabridged screen (and moves cursor to upper left on DOS ANSI.SYS). If n is 3, clear entire screen and delete all lines saved in the scrollback buffer (this feature was added for xterm and is supported by other final applications).
CSI n Chiliad EL Erase in Line Erases part of the line. If n is 0 (or missing), clear from cursor to the terminate of the line. If n is 1, articulate from cursor to outset of the line. If north is ii, articulate entire line. Cursor position does not modify.

SGR (Select Graphic Rendition) parameters [edit]

The control sequence CSI northward m, named Select Graphic Rendition (SGR), sets display attributes. Several attributes can be set in the aforementioned sequence, separated by semicolons.[37] Each display attribute remains in outcome until a following occurrence of SGR resets it.[5] If no codes are given, CSI 1000 is treated every bit CSI 0 m (reset / normal).

Colors [edit]

3-scrap and 4-bit [edit]

The original specification but had 8 colors, and just gave them names. The SGR parameters 30–37 selected the foreground color, while 40–47 selected the background. Quite a few terminals implemented "bold" (SGR code i) every bit a brighter color rather than a unlike font, thus providing 8 additional foreground colors. Usually you could non get these as groundwork colors, though sometimes changed video (SGR code 7) would allow that. Examples: to get black letters on white background use ESC[thirty;47m, to become crimson use ESC[31m, to get brilliant red use ESC[1;31m. To reset colors to their defaults, utilise ESC[39;49m (not supported on some terminals), or reset all attributes with ESC[0m. Later terminals added the ability to straight specify the "bright" colors with 90–97 and 100–107.

When hardware started using 8-fleck digital-to-analog converters (DACs) several pieces of software assigned 24-bit color numbers to these names. The chart below shows the default values sent to the DAC for some common hardware and software; in nearly cases they are configurable.[ citation needed ]

8-bit [edit]

As 256-colour lookup tables became common on graphic cards, escape sequences were added to select from a pre-defined set of 256 colors:[ citation needed ]

There has also been a similar merely incompatible 88-colour encoding using the same escape sequence, seen in rxvt and xterm-88color. Not much is known nearly the scheme besides the colour codes. It uses a 4×iv×iv colour cube.

24-bit [edit]

Every bit "true color" graphic cards with 16 to 24 $.25 of color became common, applications began to support 24-bit colors. Terminal emulators supporting setting 24-chip foreground and groundwork colors with escape sequences include Xterm,[29] KDE'south Konsole,[48] [49] and iTerm, as well equally all libvte based terminals,[l] including GNOME Terminal.[ citation needed ]

ESC[ 38;ii;⟨r⟩;⟨k⟩;⟨b⟩ thousand Select RGB foreground colour ESC[ 48;ii;⟨r⟩;⟨m⟩;⟨b⟩ m Select RGB groundwork color        

The syntax is probable based on the ITU'southward T.416 Open Document Architecture (ODA) and interchange format: Character content architectures,[47] which was adopted as ISO/IEC 8613-6 merely ended upwardly equally a commercial failure.[ citation needed ] The ODA version is more elaborate and thus incompatible:

  • The parameters later the '2', i.e. even the r,thou,b are optional.
  • Semicolons are replaced past colons, every bit in a higher place.
  • There is a leading "colorspace ID".[29] The definition of the colorspace ID is not included in that document and then it may exist blank to correspond the unspecified default.
  • In add-on to the '2' value afterwards 48 to specify a Cherry-Green-Blue format (and the 'v' above for a 0-255 indexed color), in that location are alternatives of '0' for implementation divers and '1' for transparent - neither of which accept whatsoever further parameters; '3' specifies colors using a Cyan-Magenta-Yellowish scheme, and 'iv' for a Cyan-Magenta-Yellowish-Blackness one, the latter using the position marked as "unused" for the Black component:[47]

The ITU-RGB variation is supported past xterm, with the colorspace ID and tolerance parameters ignored. The simpler scheme using semicolons is initially found in Konsole.[29] : Tin I set up a color by its number?

Unix environment variables relating to colour back up [edit]

Earlier termcap and terminfo could indicate support for colors, the Due south-Lang library used $COLORTERM to indicate whether a terminal emulator could use colors at all (after reinterpreted as 256-colors)[51] and whether it supports 24-bit color.[52] [53] This organization, although poorly documented, became widespread enough for Fedora and RHEL to consider using it equally a simpler and more than universal detection machinery compared to querying the now-updated libraries.[54] Even so, gnome-concluding 3.14 dropped this variable every bit its authors considered it incorrect and no longer necessary.[51]

Some final emulators (urxvt, konsole) set $COLORFGBG to report the color scheme of the terminal (mainly light vs. nighttime background). This behavior originated in S-Lang[53] and is used by vim. Again, gnome-terminal refuses to add together this behavior, as the more "proper" xterm OSC 4/10/11 sequences already be.[55]

OSC (Operating System Command) sequences [edit]

About Operating System Control sequences were defined past Xterm, merely many are besides supported past other terminal emulators. For historical reasons, Xterm tin can stop the control with BEL likewise every bit the standard ST.[29] For example, Xterm allows the window championship to be set up by ESC ]0;this is the window championship BEL.

A non-xterm extension is the hyperlink, ESC ]8;;link ST from 2017, used by VTE,[56] [discuss] iTerm2,[56] and mintty.[57]

The Linux console uses ESC ] P n rr gg bb to change the palette, which, if difficult-coded into an awarding, may hang other terminals.[58] However, appending ST volition be ignored by Linux and form a proper, ignorable sequence for other terminals.[ commendation needed ]

Fs Escape sequences [edit]

If the ESC is followed past a byte in the range 0x60—0x7E, the escape sequence is of type Fs. This blazon is used for control functions individually registered with the ISO-IR registry[59] and, consequently, bachelor even in contexts where a different C1 command code set up is used. Specifically, they stand for to single control functions approved past ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2 and standardized by ISO or an ISO-recognised torso.[28] : 6.5.1 Some of these are specified in ECMA-35 (ISO 2022 / ANSI X3.41), others in ECMA-48 (ISO 6429 / ANSI X3.64).[28] : 6.5.four ECMA-48 refers to these as "independent control functions".[5] : 5.5

ESC 8 DECRC DEC Restore Cursor Restores the cursor position, encoding shift state and formatting attributes from the previous DECSC if any, otherwise resets these all to their defaults.[61] [29]

nF Escape sequences [edit]

If the ESC is followed by a byte in the range 0x20—0x2F, the escape sequence is of type nF. Said byte is followed by whatsoever number of additional bytes in this range, so a byte in the range 0x30-0x7E. These escape sequences are farther subcategorised past the low iv bits of the start byte, e.g. "type 2F" for sequences where the commencement byte is 0x22; and past whether the final byte is in the range 0x30—0x3F indicating private use (due east.g. "type 2Fp") or not (east.m. "blazon 2Ft").[28] : thirteen.two.one

Escape sequences of this type are mostly used for ANSI/ISO code-switching mechanisms such equally those used by ISO-2022-JP, except for blazon 3F sequences (those where the get-go intermediate byte is 0x23), which are used for individual control functions. Blazon 3Ft sequences are reserved for boosted ISO-IR registered individual control functions,[28] : 6.five.ii while type 3Fp sequences are available for private-use command functions.[28] : six.v.3 Different type Fs sequences, no type 3Ft sequences are presently registered.[59]

Examples [edit]

CSI 2 J — This clears the screen and, on some devices, locates the cursor to the y,10 position ane,ane (upper left corner).

CSI 32 1000 — This makes text green. The green may be a dark, dull green, then you may wish to enable Bold with the sequence CSI 1 g which would go far bright green, or combined as CSI 32 ; 1 m. Some implementations apply the Assuming country to make the character Bright.

CSI 0 ; 6 8 ; "DIR" ; 13 p — This reassigns the key F10 to transport to the keyboard buffer the cord "DIR" and ENTER, which in the DOS command line would brandish the contents of the current directory. (MS-DOS ANSI.SYS only) This was sometimes used for ANSI bombs. This is a private-utilise code (as indicated by the letter p), using a non-standard extension to include a cord-valued parameter. Following the letter of the standard would consider the sequence to end at the letter of the alphabet 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 x(10). The sequence CSI s volition relieve those two numbers. Now y'all can motility to a unlike cursor position, such as xx(y) and 3(x), using the sequence CSI 20 ; iii H or CSI xx ; three f. Now if y'all use the sequence CSI u the cursor position will return to seven(y) and x(ten). Some terminals require the DEC sequences ESC 7 / ESC viii instead which is more widely supported.

In shell scripting [edit]

ANSI escape codes are oftentimes used in UNIX and UNIX-similar terminals to provide syntax highlighting. For example, on compatible terminals, the following list control color-codes file and directory names by blazon.

ls --color

Users tin employ escape codes in their scripts past including them equally part of standard output or standard error. For example, the following GNU sed command embellishes the output of the make command past 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.[65]

          make 2>&1 | sed -east 'due south/.*\bWARN.*/\x1b[7m&\x1b[0m/i' -e 's/.*\bERR.*/\x1b[93;41m&\x1b[0m/i'        

The following Bash function flashes the terminal (past alternately sending opposite and normal video fashion codes) until the user presses a key.[66]

          flasher () { while truthful; do printf            \\eastward[?5h; sleep 0.1; printf            \\e[?5l; read -south -n1 -t1 && suspension; done; }        

This can exist used to alert a programmer when a lengthy control terminates, such as with make ; flasher .[67]

printf \\033c        

This will reset the console, similar to the command reset on modern Linux systems; however it should piece of work even on older Linux systems and on other (non-Linux) UNIX variants.

Final input sequences [edit]

Pressing special keys on the keyboard, equally well as outputting many xterm CSI, DCS, or OSC sequences, often produces a CSI, DCS, or OSC sequence, sent from the final to the computer equally 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 role, 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 well-nigh terminals mix sequences from unlike schemes, so host software has to be able to bargain with input sequences using whatever scheme. To complicate the matter, the VT terminals themselves have two schemes of input, normal mode and application mode that tin can be switched by the application.

<char>                                         -> char <esc> <nochar>                                 -> esc <esc> <esc>                                    -> esc <esc> <char>                                   -> Alt-keypress or keycode sequence <esc> '[' <nochar>                             -> Alt-[ <esc> '[' (<modifier>) <char>                  -> keycode sequence, <modifier> is a decimal number and defaults to ane (xterm) <esc> '[' (<keycode>) (';'<modifier>) '~'      -> keycode sequence, <keycode> and <modifier> are decimal numbers and default to one (vt)        

If the terminating character is '~', the first number must exist present and is a keycode number, the 2d number is an optional modifier value. If the terminating graphic symbol 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. Then, for example, <esc>[4;2~ is Shift-End, <esc>[20~ is function cardinal 9, <esc>[5C is Ctrl-Right.

In other words, the modifier is the sum of the following numbers:

Key pressed Number Comment
ane ever added, the rest are optional
Shift one
(Left) Alt two
Control 4
Meta 8
vt sequences: <esc>[i~    - Dwelling house        <esc>[16~   -             <esc>[31~   - F17 <esc>[two~    - Insert      <esc>[17~   - F6          <esc>[32~   - F18 <esc>[three~    - Delete      <esc>[18~   - F7          <esc>[33~   - F19 <esc>[4~    - End         <esc>[19~   - F8          <esc>[34~   - F20 <esc>[5~    - PgUp        <esc>[twenty~   - F9          <esc>[35~   -  <esc>[vi~    - PgDn        <esc>[21~   - F10          <esc>[7~    - Home        <esc>[22~   -              <esc>[viii~    - End         <esc>[23~   - F11          <esc>[9~    -             <esc>[24~   - F12          <esc>[x~   - F0          <esc>[25~   - F13          <esc>[eleven~   - F1          <esc>[26~   - F14          <esc>[12~   - F2          <esc>[27~   -              <esc>[13~   - F3          <esc>[28~   - F15          <esc>[fourteen~   - F4          <esc>[29~   - F16          <esc>[15~   - F5          <esc>[30~   -  xterm sequences: <esc>[A     - Up          <esc>[K     -             <esc>[U     - <esc>[B     - Down        <esc>[Fifty     -             <esc>[V     - <esc>[C     - Correct       <esc>[Grand     -             <esc>[W     - <esc>[D     - Left        <esc>[N     -             <esc>[10     - <esc>[E     -             <esc>[O     -             <esc>[Y     - <esc>[F     - End         <esc>[1P    - F1          <esc>[Z     - <esc>[G     - Keypad 5    <esc>[1Q    - F2        <esc>[H     - Home        <esc>[1R    - F3        <esc>[I     -             <esc>[1S    - F4        <esc>[J     -             <esc>[T     -        

<esc>[A to <esc>[D are the same as the ANSI output sequences. The <modifier> is commonly omitted if no modifier keys are pressed, only most implementations e'er emit the <modifier> for F1-F4. (typhoon section)

Xterm has a comprehensive documentation folio on the various function-primal and mouse input sequence schemes from DEC's VT terminals and various other terminals it emulates.[29] Thomas Dickey has added a lot of back up to it over time;[68] he also maintains a listing of default keys used by other final emulators for comparison.[69]

  • On the Linux panel, sure 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 Final.[ citation needed ]
  • xterm replies CSI row ; cavalcade R if asked for cursor position and CSI ane ; modifiers R if the F3 key is pressed with modifiers, which collide in the instance of row == i. This can exist avoided by using the ? private modifier every bit CSI ? 6 n, which will exist reflected in the response as CSI ? row ; column R.
  • many terminals prepend ESC to whatever character that is typed with the alt key downward. This creates ambivalence for upper-case letter messages and symbols @[\]^_, which would form C1 codes.[ clarification needed ]
  • Konsole generates SS3 modifiers char when F1–F4 are pressed with modifiers.[ description needed ]

Notes [edit]

  1. ^ The screen display could be replaced by drawing the entire new screen'due south contents at the bottom, scrolling the previous screen up sufficiently to erase all the old text. The user would meet the scrolling, and the hardware cursor would be left at the very bottom. Some early on batch files accomplished rudimentary "full screen" displays in this way.
  2. ^ Typical colors that are used when booting PCs and leaving them in text mode, which used a 16-entry color tabular array. The colors are dissimilar in the EGA/VGA graphic modes.
  3. ^ Seen in Windows XP through Windows 8.1
  4. ^ Until PowerShell 6
  5. ^ Debug console, "Dark+" theme
  6. ^ Campbell theme, used as of Windows 10 version 1709. Likewise used by PowerShell 6.
  7. ^ For virtual terminals, from /etc/vtrgb.
  8. ^ On terminals based on CGA compatible hardware, such as ANSI.SYS running on DOS, this normal intensity foreground colour is rendered every bit Orange. CGA RGBI monitors contained hardware to modify the dark xanthous color to an orangish/brown colour past reducing the light-green component.
