- ;;; 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:
-
- (defvar flow-control-c-s-replacement ?\034
- "Character that replaces C-s, when flow control handling is enabled.")
- (defvar flow-control-c-q-replacement ?\036
- "Character that replaces C-q, when flow control handling is enabled.")
-
- ;;;###autoload
- (defun enable-flow-control (&optional argument)
- "Toggle flow control handling.
- When handling is enabled, user can type C-s as C-\\, and C-q as C-^.
- With arg, enable flow control mode if arg is positive, otherwise disable."
- (interactive "P")
- (if (if argument
- ;; Argument means enable if arg is positive.
- (<= (prefix-numeric-value argument) 0)
- ;; No arg means toggle.
- (nth 1 (current-input-mode)))

- ;; Turn flow control off, and stop exchanging chars.
