12254 | 338 Cursor style ~ |
12826 | 339 *terminal-cursor-style* |
12254 | 340 By default the cursor in the terminal window uses a not blinking block. The |
341 normal xterm escape sequences can be used to change the blinking state and the | |
342 shape. Once focus leaves the terminal window Vim will restore the original | |
343 cursor. | |
344 | |
345 An exception is when xterm is started with the "-bc" argument, or another way | |
346 that causes the cursor to blink. This actually means that the blinking flag | |
347 is inverted. Since Vim cannot detect this, the terminal window cursor | |
348 blinking will also be inverted. | |
349 | |
350 | |
13437 | 351 Session ~ |
352 *terminal-session* | |
353 A terminal window will be restored when using a session file, if possible and | |
354 wanted. | |
355 | |
356 If "terminal" was removed from 'sessionoptions' then no terminal windows will | |
357 be restored. | |
358 | |
359 If the job in the terminal was finished the window will not be restored. | |
360 | |
361 If the terminal can be restored, the command that was used to open it will be | |
362 used again. To change this use the |term_setrestore()| function. This can | |
363 also be used to not restore a specific terminal by setting the command to | |
364 "NONE". | |
365 | |
366 | |
12826 | 367 Special keys ~ |
368 *terminal-special-keys* | |
369 Since the terminal emulator simulates an xterm, only escape sequences that | |
370 both Vim and xterm recognize will be available in the terminal window. If you | |
371 want to pass on other escape sequences to the job running in the terminal you | |
372 need to set up forwarding. Example: > | |
373 tmap <expr> <Esc>]b SendToTerm("\<Esc>]b") | |
