To see what this looks like:
1. Open xterm
2. If you use a fancy prompt with colors in it, turn it off (eg with "export PROMPT_COMMAND= PS1='$ '")
3. CTRL+Middleclick on the window, then "Switch to Tek mode" (it's near the bottom). Note that you must keep the mouse button held down and _release_ it over the option you want.
4. Repeatedly press Enter to make the prompt fill the screen; it will sail to the bottom of the left half of the screen (the left page) and then do the same on the right half (the right page).
5. "Page refresh by hand" in xterm means CTRL+middle clicking the Tek window and selecting PAGE or RESET.
Just to clarify, Tektronix 4014 mode uses its own escape sequences that are separate to the VTxxx series. So nothing you have installed will actually "work" in Tek mode. (One of the arguments for removing the code from xterm.)
- tyingq 9y agoYou can download some sample escape sequences to see what it does. Like this one: https://github.com/joejulian/xterm/blob/master/tektests/usmap.tek https://github.com/joejulian/xterm/blob/master/tektests/usma... Download it using the githib raw link and cat it while the xterm is in tek mode.
- Aloha 9y agothat's pretty impressive You can also run aclock on on an emulated tek terminal. https://github.com/tenox7/aclock https://github.com/tenox7/aclock Though you need to download the tek source (its one file) and compile it.
- JdeBP 9y agoYou forgot the step of export TERM=tek4015 With that, various things that I have installed, including the humble clear command and a fair amount of ZLE in the Z Shell, do in fact work. It's not quite nothing.
