Default: This value may also be set via environment variables

EXTRASMENU.<locale> or EXTRASMENU. If neither resource

or environment variable exist, the text package will try to

locate an Extras menu in one of the following:

$(HOME)/.text_extras_menu[.<locale>]

$(OPENWINHOME)/lib/locale/<locale>/xview/.text_extras_menu

$(OPENWINHOME)/lib/locale/C/xview/.text_extras_menu

/usr/lib/.text_extras_menu.

Text.FilterReplacesClipboard.

If the value is True, then the text selected for a filter command (e.g. the Extras->Format

menu item from the textsw menu) will replace the contents of the clipboard after the

filter has successfully completed. If the value is False, then the text selected will not

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

contents of the clipboard.

Values: True, False (False)

text.insertMakesCaretVisible

Determines how the textsw treats file lines when they are too big to fit on one display

line.

Values: Clip, Wrap_char, Wrap_word (Wrap_word)

text.lineSpacing

This resource takes an integer value which is the percentage of the maximum height of

a character in the textsw window font to use as interline spacing. For example, the

maximum character height in the textsw window font is 10. Setting

Text.LineSpacing to 15 will cause 2 pixels (1.5 pixels rounded up) of white

space to appear between each line in the textsw.

Values: integer (0)

text.margin.bottom

Specifies the minimum number of lines to maintain between insertion point and bottom

of view. A value of –1 turns auto scrolling off.

Values: N (0)

Where N is an integer between –1 and 50.

text.margin.left

Specifies the margin in pixels that the text should maintain between the left-hand

border of the window and the first character on each line.

Values: N (8)

Where N is an integer between 0 and 2000.

text.maxDocumentSize

Once this limit is exceeded, the text package will send a notice to the user to tell them

that no more insertions are possible. If the file being edited is saved to a file, or it is a

disk file being edited, then the limit does not apply.

Values: N (20000)

Where N specifies the bytes used in memory before a text file is

saved to a file on disk.

tty.yieldModifiers

Any semantic meaning, mouseless command or keyboard accelerator, that would nor-

mally be associated with the listed modifiers when the keyboard focus is in a ttysw or a

termsw would be removed. The default is to not remove any semantic meaning from

any modifiers.

Values: List of modifier keys

Alt and Meta are the only two keys currently supported.

window.synchronous, +sync -sync

Useful when debugging or tracking down a problem since the error codes emitted from

Xlib will correspond to the immediate request made. Running in a synchronous mode

will cause the application to run significantly slower.

Values: True, False (False)

Window.Depth

Specifies the window’s depth. Use an integer.

Window.visual

Resource specifies the visual used for the window.

xview.icccmcompliant

When False, XView will set window manager hints in a way that was used before the
