Same sup- | | | | | ported values for C as in G0. | +----------+---------+--------+---------------------------------------+ CSI All sequences begin with \E[, sometimes abbreviated "CSI". Spaces are used in the sequence strings to make them easier to read, but are not actually part of the string (i.e. \E[ 1 m is really \E[1m). SGR All SGR sequences are in the form \E[ N m, where N is a decimal number - the parameter. Multiple parameters can be combined in a single CSI sequence by separating them with semicolons: \E[ 1;2;3 m. +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | Parameter | Description | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 0 | Reset all attributes | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 1 | Bold | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 2 | Dim | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 3 | Italic | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 4 | Underline, including styled underlines | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 5 | Blink | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 7 | Reverse video; swap foreground and background colors | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 8 | Conceal; text is not visible, but is copiable | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 9 | Crossed-out/strike | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 21 | Double underline | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 22 | Disable bold and dim | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 23 | Disable italic | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 24 | Disable underline | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 25 | Disable blink | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 27 | Disable reverse video | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 28 | Disable conceal | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 29 | Disable crossed-out | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 30-37 | Select foreground color (using regularN in foot.ini(5)) | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 38 | Select foreground color, see "indexed and RGB colors" | | | below | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 39 | Use the default foreground color (foreground in | | | foot.ini(5)) | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 40-47 | Select background color (using regularN in foot.ini(5)) | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 48 | Select background color, see "indexed and RGB colors" | | | below | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 49 | Use the default background color (background in | | | foot.ini(5)) | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 58 | Select underline color, see "indexed and RGB colors" | | | below | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 59 | Use the default underline color | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 90-97 | Select foreground color (using brightN in foot.ini(5)) | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ | 100-107 | Select background color (using brightN in foot.ini(5)) | +-----------+---------------------------------------------------------+ Indexed and RGB colors (256-color palette and 24-bit colors) Foot supports both the new sub-parameter based variants, and the older parameter based variants for setting foreground and background colors. Indexed colors: • \E[ 38 : 5 : idx m • \E[ 38 ; 5 ; idx m RGB colors: • \E[ 38 : 2 : cs : r : g : b m • \E[ 38 : 2 : r : g : b m • \E[ 38 ; 2 ; r ; g ; b m The first variant is the "correct" one (and foot also recognizes, but ignores, the optional tolerance parameters). The second one is allowed since many programs "forget" the color space ID, cs. The sub-parameter based variants are preferred, and are what foot's terminfo(5) entry uses. Private Modes There are several Boolean-like "modes" that affect certain aspects of the terminal's behavior. These modes can be manipulated with the fol- lowing 4 escape sequences: +------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+ | Sequence | Name | Description | +------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------+ | \E[ ?
