|

Linux now has some ability to manipulate cursor appearance. Normally, you
|
||||
can set the size of hardware cursor (and also work around some ugly bugs in
|
||||
those miserable Trident cards--see #define TRIDENT_GLITCH in drivers/video/
|
||||
vgacon.c). You can now play a few new tricks: you can make your cursor look
|
||||
those miserable Trident cards [#f1]_. You can now play a few new tricks:
|
||||
you can make your cursor look
|
||||
|
||||
like a non-blinking red block, make it inverse background of the character it's
|
||||
over or to highlight that character and still choose whether the original
|
||||
hardware cursor should remain visible or not. There may be other things I have
|
||||
never thought of.
|
||||
|
||||
The cursor appearance is controlled by a "<ESC>[?1;2;3c" escape sequence
|
||||
The cursor appearance is controlled by a ``<ESC>[?1;2;3c`` escape sequence
|
||||
where 1, 2 and 3 are parameters described below. If you omit any of them,
|
||||
they will default to zeroes.
|
||||
|
||||
Parameter 1 specifies cursor size (0=default, 1=invisible, 2=underline, ...,
|
||||
8=full block) + 16 if you want the software cursor to be applied + 32 if you
|
||||
want to always change the background color + 64 if you dislike having the
|
||||
background the same as the foreground. Highlights are ignored for the last two
|
||||
flags.
|
||||
first Parameter
|
||||
specifies cursor size::
|
||||
|
||||
The second parameter selects character attribute bits you want to change
|
||||
(by simply XORing them with the value of this parameter). On standard VGA,
|
||||
the high four bits specify background and the low four the foreground. In both
|
||||
groups, low three bits set color (as in normal color codes used by the console)
|
||||
and the most significant one turns on highlight (or sometimes blinking--it
|
||||
depends on the configuration of your VGA).
|
||||
0=default
|
||||
1=invisible
|
||||
2=underline,
|
||||
...
|
||||
8=full block
|
||||
+ 16 if you want the software cursor to be applied
|
||||
+ 32 if you want to always change the background color
|
||||
+ 64 if you dislike having the background the same as the
|
||||
foreground.
|
||||
|
||||
The third parameter consists of character attribute bits you want to set.
|
||||
Bit setting takes place before bit toggling, so you can simply clear a bit by
|
||||
including it in both the set mask and the toggle mask.
|
||||
Highlights are ignored for the last two flags.
|
||||
|
||||
second parameter
|
||||
selects character attribute bits you want to change
|
||||
(by simply XORing them with the value of this parameter). On standard
|
||||
VGA, the high four bits specify background and the low four the
|
||||
foreground. In both groups, low three bits set color (as in normal
|
||||
color codes used by the console) and the most significant one turns
|
||||
on highlight (or sometimes blinking -- it depends on the configuration
|

Examples:
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
To get normal blinking underline, use: echo -e '\033[?2c'
|
||||
To get blinking block, use: echo -e '\033[?6c'
|
||||
To get red non-blinking block, use: echo -e '\033[?17;0;64c'
|
||||
To get normal blinking underline, use::
|
||||
|
||||
echo -e '\033[?2c'
|
||||
|
||||
To get blinking block, use::
|
||||
|
||||
echo -e '\033[?6c'
|
||||
|
||||
To get red non-blinking block, use::
|
||||
|
||||
echo -e '\033[?17;0;64c'
