VT2xx Controls

Options are: 7 BIT or 8 BIT control characters. This field is ignored if terminal emulation is
not DEC VT2xx.

Tab Motion

Options are DIRECT or SPACE FILLED tabs. SPACE FILLED causes tab characters to be
executed as though they consisted of the appropriate number of space characters.

Auto Wrap

Options are:

• ENABLE causes the cursor to move to the first position of the next line when a character

is entered in the last position of a line.

• DISABLE allows a character to be entered on the last position of a line, at which point

the cursor will stop. The user must then manually move the cursor to the next line, in
order to continue entering characters.

Newline

Options are:

• DISABLE allows carriage return and line feed characters be processed independently.

• ENABLE causes a carriage return or a line feed to be interpreted as a carriage return

followed by a line feed.

Cursor Keys

Options are:

• NORMAL causes the cursor keys to generate standard ANSI control codes that

correspond to Cursor Up, Cursor Down, Cursor Left and Cursor Right.

• APPLICATION causes the cursor keys to generate escape sequences defined by

the application mode. See ASCII Keyboard Codes for more information about
escape sequences.

Keypad Mode

Options are:

• NUMERIC is the default, where the numeric keypad keys generates ASCII characters

that match the numeric characters, comma, period and minus sign keys. Control functions
are generated by the PF1 through PF4 keys.

• APPLICATION causes the keypad to generate the escape sequences defined by the

application mode. See “VT1xx/VT2xx ANSI Mode Control Sequences”.
