OpenWindows.KeyboardCommands

All of the OpenWindows.KeyboardCommand resource mappings may be modified

by users, or by specifying one of three values for OpenWindows.KeyboardCom-

mands. See the description for the Mouseless model in Chapter 6, Handling Input, in

the XView Programming Manual.

Values: Sunview1, Basic, or Full.

OpenWindows.MonospaceFont

Compatibility is maintained with the older resources Font.Name and Win-

dow.Scale. This sets the font used by cmdtool, shelltool and any text subwindow or

text editor that uses a fixed width font. If -font is specified on the command line, then

it will override the font set by OpenWindows.MonospaceFont. To find out what

fonts are available, use the xlsfonts command. This is a string. The default is Null.

Values: font name

OpenWindows.MouseChordMenu

Turns on the mouse chording mechanism. Mouse chording allows XView to work with

two button mice. Holding the SELECT and the ADJUST buttons together will act as

MENU button.

Values: Boolean (False)

OpenWindows.MouseChordTimeout

Mouse chording time-out value.

Values: Integer in microseconds (100)

264 XView Reference Manual

OpenWindows.multiClickTimeout (Props)

Specifies a “click”, which is button-down, button-up pair.

Values: N (4)

Where N is an integer greater than 2. Set the number of tenths

of a second between clicks for a multi-click.

OpenWindows.popupJumpCursor(Props)

When False, do not warp the mouse to the notice when it appears.

Values: True, False (False)

OpenWindows.RegularFont

Sets the font used by panels, menus and notices. If -font is specified on the command

line, then it will override the font set by Openwindows.RegularFont. To find out

what fonts are available, use the xlsfonts command. The Default is Null.

Values: font name

OpenWindows.windowColor(Props)

Specifies the base color for control areas for a 3-D look. Takes hexadecimal represen-

tation. Three other colors used for shading and highlighting are calculated based upon

the value of the specified control color. The actual calculated values are done by the

OLGX library to provide a consistent color calculation between XView and OLWM.

The desktop properties program allows a full range of customization and previews

what the chosen 3-D look will look like. Does not apply to monochrome displays.

Values: Any valid X11 color specification (#cccccc — 80% gray)

OpenWindows.workspaceColor(Props)

Specifies the color for the root window and the background color for icons that blend

into the desktop.

not scrollable.

Values: True, False (True)

term.inverseStyle

Specifies the text inverting style for a terminal-based window.

Values: Enable, Disable, Same_as_bold (Enable)

266 XView Reference Manual

Values: Enable, Disable, Same_as_bold (Enable)

term.useAlternateTtyswrc

When True, and a $HOME/.ttyswrc is not found, look for an alternate .ttyswrc file.

When False, do not look for an alternate file if one is not found in the home directory,

$HOME/.ttyswrc.

Values: True, False (True)

text.againLimit

Number of operations the “again history” remembers for a textsw.

Values: N (1)

Where N is an integer between 0 and 500.

Text.DeleteReplacesClipboard

This resource controls whether text that has been selected and then deleted by the

delete key or replaced by any other keystroke will be copied to the clipboard. If the

value is True, then the selected text will be copied to the clipboard. If the value is

False, then the text selected will not be copied to the clipboard. The default value is

False, do not replace the contents of the clipboard.

This resource also applies to the text selected for the filter function. If the resource is

True, then the text selected for a filter function will replace the clipboard when the fil-

ter successfully finishes. If the resource is False, then the text selected does not replace

the clipboard. The default value is False, do not replace the contents of the clipboard.

(in XView V3.0.1, the value for this resource was effectively True, the text selected

always replaced the clipboard.)

Values: True, False (False)

Command-line Arguments

and XView Resources

Command-line Arguments and XView Resources 267

text.delimiterChars

This resource allows the user to select the delimiter characters that are used when do-

ing word level selections in the XView package. It was added because of the needs of

the international marketplace, and it allows the user to define the local delimiters for

the character set that is being used with the current keyboard and Sun workstation.

The selection of delimiters will be automatically available to the user once the SunOS

4.1 becomes the default operating system environment, however this resource is used

as a bridge during that period.

Note that the octal characters can be scrambled by Xrm during a rewrite of the value of

text.delimiterChars. Xrm interprets the text.delimiterChar string

when it is loaded. Specifically it will decode the backslashed portions of the string and

convert them to octal representations. When this is passed to the client application, the

logic will function correctly. However, this misbehavior of Xrm causes the string to be

stored incorrectly if the user saves the string. The specific problem(s) that occur are

the stripping of the backslash characters and the expansion of the tab character (11).

To correct this problem, one can put the text.delimiterChars entry into an

.Xdefaults file that will not be overwritten when saving the workspace properties (for

example, a system-wide defaults file). Or a copy of the text.delimiterChars

entry can be inserted after .Xdefaults file saves.

Values: string

The default follows:

\t,.:;?!’"‘*/–+=(){}[ ]<>\|˜@#$%ˆ&

text.displayControlChars

When False, use an up arrow plus a letter to display the control character instead of the

character that is available for the current font.

Values: True, False (True)

text.enableScrollbar

When False, do not put a scrollbar on the text window.

Values: True, False (True)

text.extrasMenuFilename

The file specified by this resource is used for the text package’s Extras menu. This

resource can be specified with or without

.<locale>

appended to the resource name.

text.extrasMenuFilename.<

locale

> will take precedence over

text.extrasMenuFilename, where

<locale>

is the current locale value of the

display lang category (XV_LC_DISPLAY/LC_MESSAGES). A command executed in the

extras menu is applied to the contents of the current selection in the textsw window.

The results are inserted at the current insertion point.

Values: Filename (/usr/lib/.text_extras_menu) where filename is an

absolute pathname of a file.
