I was wondering if there is way to type Q ( Cntrl-Q ) and S ( Cntrl-S )
|
|||
|
|
in an ascii file. ( I can type other charecters like , , etc. )
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Thanks in advance.

Seems to me he asked especially about Control-Q and Control-S, not about your

average Control character. Try it on a Sun, in vi with Control-S. I posted this
|
|||
|
|
as a question here some time ago and it seems it's NOT possible on HP's and
|
|||
|
|
Sun's for Control-S. Some machines will do it though. The Sun will do
|

|
|
it in the csh and sh (don't know about other shells) but not in vi, the
|
|||
|
|
HP won't do it at all.

go into insert mode and type
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
^V^[
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
every time you want to place the escape character
|
|||
|
|
in your text. '^V' means CTRL-V and '^[' is the Escape key.

Type a control-V before the escape.

That won't work on most terminals. Most terminals want something
|
|||
|
|
like ESC[7m . If you want to write something that works on many
|
|||
|
|
terminals, you'll have to extract the appropriate escape sequence
|
|||
|
|
from the termcap (or terminfo) database. Or put a _ and a backspace
|
|||
|
|
in front of every highlighted character, and let a program like more
|
|||
|
|
(or ul, or less) figure it out.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To put a backspace in a file using vi, you have to type a control-V
|
|||
|
|
before the backspace.

This is the vary standard way to include any unprintable character in a
|
|||
|
|
vi file. While in the input mode, enter a Control-V, followed by the
|
|||
|
|
charater you wish to enter. For your example:
|
|||
|
|
Control-V ESC &dA
|
|||
|
|
and it will look like
|
|||
|
|
^[&dA

Control-V will tell vi to take the next character as is. This is how
|
|||
|
|
you can enter the ESC character.
