Somebody asked how to turn on wrap at end of line, in case it somehow got turned off. The major cause of reboots on my system is that the console gets into a wierd mode and I can't figure out how to get it out. So I've been collecting ways of getting out of things. Every time I find a funny mode I put the command to get out of it into is2 (the termcap string for resetting the terminal). I have a script "reset" that undoes everything I know how to undo, including stuff you can set with stty and terminal modes. I include below both my termcap entry for the console and the reset script. To use the termcap entry, you have to be root and do "tic xxx" where xxx is the file you put this into. I'm fairly sure that one of the magic strings in is2 turns on wrap mode again. One thing I don't know how to get out of is when the special function keys stop doing their special functions. This happens when you use ESC c, which is the documented way of returning the terminal to its power-up state. I find it somewhat mysterious that uport is unable to come up with a set of escape sequences to reset the terminal. I know they plan to do something about all of this for the next release, so maybe that means it is imminent. Here's the termcap entry: ansi|ansi-24|ansi-s-bot|ansi-bot-s|ansi with bottom status line (for sysline), am, hs, mir, msgr, eslok, xon, cols#80, lines#24, wsl#80, cbt=\E[Z, bel=^G, cr=\r, csr=\E[%i%p1%d;%p2%dr, clear=\E[H\E[J\E[3;2m, el=\E[K, ed=\E[J, hpa=\E[%i%p1%dG, cup=\E[%i%p1%d;%p2%dH, cud1=\n, home=\E[H, civis=\E[25;27m, cub1=\b, cnorm=\E[23;27m, cuf1=\E[C, cuu1=\E[A, dch1=\E[P, dl1=\E[M, dsl=\E7\E[?6l\E[25;1H\E[K\E8, smacs=\E[12m, blink=\E[5;3;1m, bold=\E[1m, smir=\E[4h, invis=\E[8m, rev=\E[7m, smso=\E[42m, smul=\E[4m, ech=\E[%p1%dX, rmacs=\E[10m, sgr0=\E[0;47m, rmir=\E[4l, rmso=\E[47m, rmul=\E[m, fsl=\E8, is1=\E[=h, is2=\E7\E[1;24r\E8\E[4l\E[?6l\E[?7l\E[A\n, il1=\E[L, kbs=\b, kdch1=\E[P, kdl1=\E[M, kcud1=\E[B, kf1=\EOP, kf10=\EOY, kf2=\EOQ, kf3=\EOR, kf4=\EOS, kf5=\EOT, kf6=\EOU, kf7=\EOV, kf8=\EOW, kf9=\EOX, khome=\E[H, kich1=\E[@, kil1=\E[L, kcub1=\E[D, knp=\E[V, kpp=\E[U, kcuf1=\E[C, kcuu1=\E[A, dch=\E[%p1%dP, dl=\E[%p1%dM, cud=\E[%p1%dB, ich=\E[%p1%d@, indn=\E[%p1%dS, il=\E[%p1%dL, cub=\E[%p1%dD, cuf=\E[%p1%dC, rin=\E[%p1%dT, cuu=\E[%p1%dA, pfkey=\E[%p1%d;%p2%l%dq%p2%s, pfx=\E[%p1%d;%p2%l%dq%p2%s, rc=\E8, vpa=\E[%p1%dd, sc=\E7, ind=\ED, ri=\EM, ht=\t, tsl=\E7\E[?6l\E[25;%p1%dH\E[7;1;55m\E[K, Here's reset: #! stty sane stty clocal stty intr '^c' erase '^?' kill '^u' eof '^d' eol '^`' stty icrnl ixon -ixany onlcr stty isig icanon echo echoe echok tput rs1 tput rs2 tput rs3 # should also print contents of file `tput rf` tput is1 tput is2 tput is3 # should also print contents of file `tput if`
