This list here was compiled from the lists we could find. Most notably Rob Elliott's 'Selected ANSI Escape codes'; the Villanova list; and the ANSI_X3.64-tables-from-BYTE list. We'd much rather have a reference manual, but if anyone can tell us what's missing or incorrect in this list, it would be greatly appreciated. start of list ---------------------------------------------- Control Characters ------------------ Char Name Dec Hex Action Taken ------------------------------------------------------------------ NUL 0 0x00 ignored; Null SOH 1 0x01 ignored; Start of heading STX 2 0x02 ignored; Start of text ETX 3 0x03 ignored; End of text EOT 4 0x04 ignored; End of transmission ENQ 5 0x05 Transmit answerback message ACK 6 0x06 ignored; Acknowledge BEL 7 0x07 Ring the bell BS 8 0x08 Move cursor left HT 9 0x09 Move cursor to next tab stop; Horizontal tab LF 10 0x0A Line feed; causes print if in autoprint VT 11 0x0B Same as LF; Vertical tab FF 12 0x0C Same as LF; Form feed CR 13 0x0D Move cursor to left margin or newline; Carriage return SO 14 0x0E Invoke G1 character set SI 15 0x0F Invoke G0 character set DC1 16 0x10 ignored; Device control 1 XON 17 0x11 Resume transmission; Device control 2 DC3 18 0x02 ignored; Device control 3 XOFF 19 0x13 Halt transmission; Device control 4 NAK 20 0x14 ignored; Negative acknowledge SYN 21 0x15 ignored; Syncronous idle ETB 22 0x16 ignored; End of transmission block CAN 23 0x17 ignored; Cancel EM 24 0x18 Cancel escape sequence and display checkerboard SUB 26 0x1A Same as CAN ESC 27 0x1B Introduce a control sequence FS 28 0x1C ignored; File separator GS 29 0x1D ignored; Group separator RS 30 0x1E ignored; Record separator US 31 0x1F ignored; Unit separator DEL 127 0x7F ignored; Delete Control Sequences ----------------- Action VT52 mode ANSI (VT100) ---------------------------------------------------- Cursor up Esc A Esc [ Pn A Cursor down Esc B Esc [ Pn B Cursor right Esc C Esc [ Pn C Cursor left Esc D Esc [ Pn D Cursor home Esc H Cursor address Esc Y Pl Pc Esc [ Pn(row);Pn(col);H or Esc [ Pn(row);Pn(col);f Cursor position report Esc [ 6 n returns: Esc [ Pn(row);Pn(col) R Index Esc D Newline Esc E Reverse newline Esc I Esc M Save cursor & attr Esc 7 Restore cursor & attr Esc 8 Insert line Esc [ Pn L Delete line Esc [ Pn M Delete character Esc [ Pn P Define scrolling region Esc [ Pn(top);Pn(bot) r Erase cursor to EOL Esc K Esc [ K Erase BOL to cursor Esc [ 1 K Erase entire line Esc [ 2 K Erase cursor to EOS Esc J Esc [ J Erase BOS to cursor Esc [ 1 J Erase entire screen Esc [ 2 J Print screen or region Esc ] Esc [ i (region in ANSI only) Print cursor line Esc V Esc [ ? 1 i Enter print controller Esc W Esc [ 5 i Exit print controller Esc X Esc [ 4 i Enter auto print Esc ^ Esc [ ? 5 i Exit auto print Esc - Esc [ ? 4 i Set tab at current col Esc H Clr tab at current col Esc [ g Clear all tabs Esc [ 3 g Enter ANSI mode Esc < Application keypad Esc = Esc = Numeric kyepad Esc > Esc > Fill screen with 'E's Esc # 8 Reset Esc c Identify Esc Z Esc Z returns: Esc/Z returns: Esc [ ? 6 c Device attr report Esc [ c returns: Esc [ ? 6 c Device status report Esc [ 5 n returns: Esc [ O n Request term params Esc [ 1 x returns: Esc[3;;;;;1;0x Mode name Ps Set (Esc [ Ps h) Reset (Esc [ Ps l) VT100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keyboard action 2 Locked Unlocked reset Insertion 4 Insert Overwrite reset Duplex 12 Full Half (echo) available Linefeed/Newline 20 Newline Linefeed available Cursor key ?1 Application Cursor available ANSI/VT52 ?2 ANSI VT52 available Column width ?3 132 80 available Scolling method ?4 Smooth Jump available Screen ?5 Reverse Normal available Origin ?6 Relative Absolute available Wraparound ?7 Wrap Truncate available Key auto repeat ?8 Repeating No repeat available Print formfeed ?18 Yes No available Print extent ?19 Full screen Scolling region available Character set VT52 VT100 (G0) VT100 (G1) -------------------------------------------------------- United Kingdom (UK) Esc ( A Esc ) A United States (US) Esc G Esc ( B Esc ) B Graphics Esc F Esc ( 0 Esc ) 0 Default ROM Esc ( 1 Esc ) 1 Alternate ROM Esc ( 2 Esc ) 2 Switch to G0/G1 Esc O Esc N Character attributes Ps (Esc [ Ps;Ps;Ps;...Psm) --------------------------------------------------- Normal (attr off) 0 Note: Ps=3 4 or 6 are unknown and Bold on 1 probably redundant.

Even if you had one, it wouldn't list them all. A couple of examples: (Genuine vt100, imitators probably get them wrong. (Dec never was good at imitating their own terminals.)) Esc [ 2 ; 8 y Wait for poweroff. Esc [ 2 ; 15 y Flashing background mode. Also puts terminal in local. Also, many sequences produced different results at different speeds. The original VT100 terminal has many undocumented modes such as 24 duplicate lines, linefeed goes up, etc. -- blarson@usc.edu usc!blarson blarson@zog C news and rn for os9/68k! \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
