| 11 | #Another alternative is to send the ti string at startup time (and, I
|
|---|
| 12 | #guess, the te string at exit time); that is how vi works in a cmdtool.
|
|---|
| 13 | #The best reason to not do this is that this also disables scrolling
|
|---|
| 14 | #which, as I understand it, is why anyone would use cmdtool in the
|
|---|
| 15 | #first place. Sending the ti string at startup time would do strange
|
|---|
| 16 | #things on other systems too; in xterm it would use the alternate
|
|---|
| 17 | #screen.
|
|---|
| 18 | #
|
|---|
| 19 | #The problem with cmdtool, in case that is less than obvious, is that
|
|---|
| 20 | #almost none of the capabilities advertised in /etc/termcap are enabled
|
|---|
| 21 | #while scrolling is enabled. It has other problems too, like being
|
|---|
| 22 | #part of an outdated proprietary windowing system, but there's probably
|
|---|
| 23 | #no need to dwell on that. In a sense, though, the sun-cmd termcap
|
|---|
| 24 | #entry doesn't lie about the capabilities; I think the termcap man page
|
|---|
| 25 | #does warn about some terminals having cursor motion capabilities only
|
|---|
| 26 | #in the "ti/te window".
|
|---|
| 27 | #
|
|---|
| 28 | #A general solution to this problem would require a termcap capability
|
|---|
| 29 | #which somehow tells which features are available outside of the ti/te
|
|---|
| 30 | #window. There is no such capability in termcap now, of course.
