Wrong. Vt* terminals, xterm, konsole, uterm all have ESC Z query. Vim makes use of ESC Z query. But there's more to it. konsole and uterm have more query sequences. You can query colors and current codepage.But Vim does not implement terminal-specific quering currently. Maybe somebody can make plugin or patch to define and use terminal-specific queries, especially for konsole and uterm. If vim had support for terminal-specific queries (even if by vimscript), vim would automatically run better in those terminals. It is pity that vim does not make use of terminal-specific queries. That would give terminal developers incentive to standardize and expand, queries. Yakov [1] And even switch codepages. Thst makes it possible to automatically synchronize vim's encoding and terminals codepage. Or at least detect and report inconsistency to the user. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
