  • ANSI Question

    From Beery@21:4/109 to All on Thu Dec 13 09:13:30 2018
    OK,

    I've been doing quite a bit of programming for a terminal emulator and I have not been able to find a piece of information I need.

    When using Mystic on other terminal emulators, I can hit the PageUp or
    PageDown when using the "I" command when viewing messages and the messages
    page up/page down.

    What is the ANSI sequence or the specific character in hex that is sent that Mystic recognizes to scroll a new page of messages?

    Thanks for anyone's help.

    Hi Beery!

    I hope this helps. Take a look here: http://ascii-table.com/ansi-escape-sequences.php

    Thanks for that information. I will have to do some testing as those codes
    are different than some other codes I had tested.

    There are a lot of them that Mystic will recognize. I think:

    PgUp: ESC[5
    PgUp: ESC[V
    PgDown: ESC[U
    PgDown: ESC[6

    It uses standard escape sequences so you can find information if you look at definitions for things like XTERM, VT102, ANSI-BBS, etc

    Thanks for that information. I tried some other options that were suggested and those did not work. Will try these options.

    Thanks for that information. Those ANSI sequences worked.

    Much appreciated.
