- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;;;; Terminals that use XON/XOFF flow control can cause problems with
- ;;;; GNU Emacs users. This file contains Emacs Lisp code that makes it
- ;;;; easy for a user to deal with this problem, when using such a
- ;;;; terminal.
- ;;;;
- ;;;; To invoke these adjustments, a user need only invoke the function
- ;;;; enable-flow-control-on with a list of terminal types in his/her own
- ;;;; .emacs file. As arguments, give it the names of one or more terminal
- ;;;; types in use by that user which require flow control adjustments.
- ;;;; Here's an example:
- ;;;;
- ;;;; (enable-flow-control-on "vt200" "vt300" "vt101" "vt131")
-
- ;;; Portability note: This uses (getenv "TERM"), and therefore probably
- ;;; won't work outside of UNIX-like environments.
-
- ;;; Code:
-
- ;;;###autoload
- (defun enable-flow-control ()
- "Enable use of flow control; let user type C-s as C-\\ and C-q as C-^."
- (interactive)
- ;; Tell emacs to pass C-s and C-q to OS.
- (set-input-mode nil t (nth 2 (current-input-mode)))
- ;; Initialize translate table, saving previous mappings, if any.
- (let ((the-table (make-string 128 0)))
- (let ((i 0)
- (j (length keyboard-translate-table)))
- (while (< i j)
- (aset the-table i (elt keyboard-translate-table i))
- (setq i (1+ i)))
- (while (< i 128)
- (aset the-table i i)
- (setq i (1+ i))))
- (setq keyboard-translate-table the-table))
- ;; Swap C-s and C-\
- (aset keyboard-translate-table ?\034 ?\^s)
- (aset keyboard-translate-table ?\^s ?\034)
- ;; Swap C-q and C-^
- (aset keyboard-translate-table ?\036 ?\^q)
- (aset keyboard-translate-table ?\^q ?\036)
- (message (concat
- "XON/XOFF adjustment for "
- (getenv "TERM")
- ": use C-\\ for C-s and use C-^ for C-q."))
- (sleep-for 2)) ; Give user a chance to see message.
