Subject: vi: How to type S and ^Q in ascii file?
|
||
Date: Wed, 22 Jul 1992 20:34:18 GMT
|
||
|
||
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.
