NAME
xiterm+thai --- VT102 emulator for the X window system with Thai supportSYNOPSIS
xiterm+thai [options] [-e command [args]]DESCRIPTION
xiterm+thai --- version 1.09 --- is a color vt102 terminal emulator intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who do not require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a result, xiterm+thai uses much less swap space --- a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.OPTIONS
The xiterm+thai options (mostly a subset of xterm's) are listed below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be eliminated or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and defaults listed may not accurately reflect the version installed on your system.Note that xiterm+thai permits the resource name to be used as a long-option (--/++ option) so the potential command-line options are far greater than those listed.
For example: `xiterm+thai --loginShell --color1 Orange'.

RESOURCES (available also as long-options)
xiterm+thai accepts application defaults set in XAPPLOADDIR/Xiterm (compile-time defined: usually /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Xiterm) and resources set in ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources. Note that when reading X resources, xiterm+thai recognizes two class names: XTerm and Xiterm. The class name XTerm allows resources common to both xiterm+thai and xterm to be easily configured, while the class name Xiterm allows resources unique to xiterm+thai, notably colors and key-handling, to be shared between different xiterm+thai configurations. If no resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used. Command-line arguments can be used to override resource settings. The following resources are allowed:- geometry: geom
- Create the window with the specified X window geometry [default 80x24]; option -geometry.
- background: color
- Use the specified color as the window's background color [default White]; option -bg.
- foreground: color
- Use the specified color as the window's foreground color [default Black]; option -fg.
- colorn: color
- Use the specified color for the color value n, where 0-7 corresponds to low-intensity (normal) colors and 8-15 corresponds to high-intensity (bold = bright foreground, blink = bright background) colors. The canonical names are as follows: 0=black, 1=red, 2=green, 3=yellow, 4=blue, 5=magenta, 6=cyan, 7=white, but the actual color names used are listed in the COLORS AND GRAPHICS section.
- colorBD: color
- Use the specified color to display bold characters when the foreground color is the default.
- colorUL: color
- Use the specified color to display underlined characters when the foreground color is the default.
- cursorColor: color
- Use the specified color for the cursor. The default is to use the foreground color; option -cr.
- cursorColor2: color
- Use the specified color for the color of the cursor text. For this to take effect, cursorColor must also be specified. The default is to use the background color.
- cursorColorThai: color
- Use the specified color for the cursor while in Thai mode. The default is to use the foreground color.

It may contain escape values (\a: bell, \b: backspace, \e, \E: escape, \n: newline, \r: return, \t: tab, \000: octal number) or control characters (^?: delete, ^@: null, ^A ...) and may enclosed with double quotes so that it can start or end with whitespace. The intervening resource name keysym. cannot be omitted. This resource is only available when compiled with FAKE_RESOURCES.
THE SCROLLBAR
Lines of text that scroll off the top of the xiterm+thai window (resource: saveLines) and can be scrolled back using the scrollbar or by keystrokes. The normal xiterm+thai scrollbar has arrows and its behaviour is fairly intuitive. The xterm-scrollbar is without arrows and its behaviour mimics that of xterm.Scroll down with Button1 (xterm-scrollbar) or Shift-Next.
Scroll up with Button3 (xterm-scrollbar) or Shift-Prior.
Continuous scroll with Button2.
MOUSE REPORTING
To temporarily override mouse reporting, for either the scrollbar or the normal text selection/insertion, hold either the Shift or the Meta (Alt) key while performing the desired mouse action.If mouse reporting mode is active, the normal scrollbar actions are disabled --- on the assumption that we are using a fullscreen application. Instead, pressing Button1 and Button3 sends ESC[6~ (Next) and ESC[5~ (Prior), respectively. Similarly, clicking on the up and down arrows sends ESC[A (Up) and ESC[B (Down), respectively.
TEXT SELECTION AND INSERTION
The behaviour of text selection and insertion mechanism is similar to xterm.- Selection:
- Left click at the beginning of the region, drag to the end of the region and release; Right click to extend the marked region; Left double-click to select a word; Left triple-click to select the entire line.
- Insertion:
- Pressing and releasing the Middle mouse button (or Shift-Insert) in an xiterm+thai window causes the current text selection to be inserted as if it had been typed on the keyboard.
CHANGING FONTS
You can change fonts on-the-fly, which is to say cycle through the default font and others of various sizes, by using Shift-KP_Add and Shift-KP_Subtract. Or, alternatively (if enabled) with Alt-> and Alt-<, where the actual key can be selected using resources smallfont_key/bigfont_key.LOGIN STAMP
xiterm+thai tries to write an entry into the utmp file (usually /etc/utmp), so that it can be seen via the who(1) command, and can accept messages. To allow this feature, xiterm+thai must be installed setuid root.COLORS AND GRAPHICS
If graphics support was enabled at compile-time, xiterm+thai can be queried with ANSI escape sequences and can address individual pixels instead of text characters. Note the graphics support is still considered beta code.In addition to the default foreground and background colors, xiterm+thai can display up to 16 colors (8 ANSI colors plus high-intensity bold/blink versions of the same). Here is a list of the colors with their rgb.txt names.
color0 (black) = Black color1 (red) = Red3 color2 (green) = Green3 color3 (yellow) = Yellow3 color4 (blue) = Blue3 color5 (magenta) = Magenta3 color6 (cyan) = Cyan3 color7 (white) = AntiqueWhite color8 (bright black) = Grey25 color9 (bright red) = Red color10 (bright green) = Green color11 (bright yellow) = Yellow color12 (bright blue) = Blue color13 (bright magenta) = Magenta color14 (bright cyan) = Cyan color15 (bright white) = White foreground = Black background = White
It is also possible to specify the color values of foreground, background, cursorColor, cursorColor2, colorBD, colorUL as a number 0-15, as a convenient shorthand to reference the color name of color0-color15.
Note that -rv (reverseVideo: True) simulates reverse video by always swapping the foreground/background colors. This is in contrast to xterm where the colors are only swapped if they have not otherwise been specified. For example,
- xiterm+thai -fg Black -bg White -rv
- would yield White on Black, while on xterm it would yield Black on White.
ENVIRONMENT
xiterm+thai sets the environment variables TERM, COLORTERM and COLORFGBG. The environment variable WINDOWID is set to the X window id number of the xiterm+thai window and it also uses and sets the environment variable DISPLAY to specify which display terminal to use. xiterm+thai uses the environment variables RXVTPATH and PATH to find XPM files.FILES
- /etc/utmp
- System file for login records.
- /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
- Color names.

Selecting/pasting very large chunks of text is a problem. But as is the case for xterm, it is a bug of the pseudo terminal driver of those systems.xiterm+thai 1.0 has the utmp support cleaned-up and supports utmpx (i.e. Solaris 2.x) but there are still some problems. Please inform the maintainer of the correct solutions to utmp problems since he doesn't have root access of his own to test utmp.
Cursor change support is not yet implemented.
Click-and-drag doesn't work with X11 mouse report overriding.
Graphics support is fairly crude.
For some fonts there are problems with pixel-droppings being left behind when simulated bold (overstrike) precedes a space character. Fixing xiterm+thai to handle these cases requires a lot of energy. So the easiest course by far is to specify a boldFont, specify colorBD or, if it was compiled without NO_BRIGHTCOLOR, to select a foreground color that matches the pixel values of color 0-7 so that overstrike bold won't be used.
Like xterm, xiterm+thai handles mono-space fonts only, and only TIS-620 fonts are supported.
