xterm

I am trying to automate xterm window using Expect (though I already knew Expect cant control such GUI applications, but there is a tweaked mechanism explained in Exploring Expect ) package require Expect spawn -pty stty raw -echo < $spawn_out(slave,name) regexp ".*(.)(.)" $spawn_out(slave,name) dummy c1 c2 if {[string compare $c1 "/"] == 0} { set c1 "0" } set xterm_pid [exec xterm -S$c1$c2$spawn_out(slave,fd) &] close -slave expect "\n" ;# match and discard X window id set xterm $spawn_id spawn $env(SHELL) Don Libes mentioned that from this point, xterm can be automated and he has given

I want to embed an xterm into a pyqt4 widget and communicate with it. Especially I want to be able to print to it and execute commands on it (such that it returns to normal user prompt after executing the command just like a normal shell would do). Consider the following minimal example. How can I make it work? #!/usr/bin/env python #-*- coding:utf-8 -*- import sys from PyQt4.QtCore import * from PyQt4.QtGui import * class embedxterm(QWidget): def __init__(self): QWidget.__init__(self) self.setMinimumWidth(900) self.setMinimumHeight(400) self.process = QProcess(self) self.terminal = QWidget

Setting terminal title is easy with echo -e "\e]0;some title\007" . Works with pretty much every terminal program. What I want is to set terminal title when some program starts - and restore old one when it finishes. Is this possible? On xterm, the terminal control sequences 22 and 23 work fine, as in #!/bin/sh /bin/echo -ne '\033[22;0t' # Save title on stack /bin/echo -ne "\033]0;$(date)\007" sleep 1 /bin/echo -ne '\033[23;0t' # Restore title from stack It looks like this isn't supported in the Mac OS X Terminal.App though. There are some terminal programs that supporting it (xterm has

I've implemented a terminal emulator and a corresponding terminfo entry that allows me to run ncurses programs like emacs , mc (midnight commander) or tig (git browser). I want to add mouse support to the terminal , most notably to position the cursor in emacs by clicking into the window. After a lot of googling and some help on stackoverflow I learned about the required terminfo fields (most notably kmous ) and control (e.g. \E[?1000h ) and "key" ( \E[M... ) sequences and implemented mouse button events in my terminal. I've written a small ncurses program that goes something like this:
