# Terminal dimensions

Get the default size of the terminal. For resizeable terminals (e.g., `xterm`), these may not correspond to the actual dimensions.

termLines :: Capability Int Source #

termColumns :: Capability Int Source #

# Cursor flags

autoRightMargin :: Capability Bool Source #

This flag specifies that the cursor wraps automatically from the last column of one line to the first column of the next.

autoLeftMargin :: Capability Bool Source #

This flag specifies that a backspace at column 0 wraps the cursor to the last column of the previous line.

wraparoundGlitch :: Capability Bool Source #

This flag specifies that the terminal does not perform `autoRightMargin`-style wrapping when the character which would cause the wraparound is a control character. This is also known as the "newline glitch" or "magic wrap".

For example, in an 80-column terminal with this behavior, the following will print single-spaced instead of double-spaced:

    replicateM_ 5 $ putStr $ replicate 80 'x' ++ "\n"

# Scrolling

carriageReturn :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

The `cr` capability, which moves the cursor to the first column of the current line.

newline :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

The `nel` capability, which moves the cursor to the first column of the next line. It behaves like a carriage return followed by a line feed.

If `nel` is not defined, this may be built out of other capabilities.

scrollForward :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

scrollReverse :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

# Relative cursor movements

The following functions for cursor movement will combine the more primitive capabilities. For example, `moveDown` may use either `cursorDown` or `cursorDown1` depending on the parameter and which of `cud` and `cud1` are defined.

moveDown :: TermStr s => Capability (Int -> s) Source #

moveLeft :: TermStr s => Capability (Int -> s) Source #

moveRight :: TermStr s => Capability (Int -> s) Source #

moveUp :: TermStr s => Capability (Int -> s) Source #

## Primitive movement capabilities

These capabilities correspond directly to `cub`, `cud`, `cub1`, `cud1`, etc.

cursorDown1 :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

cursorLeft1 :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

cursorRight1 :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

cursorUp1 :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

cursorDown :: TermStr s => Capability (Int -> s) Source #

cursorLeft :: TermStr s => Capability (Int -> s) Source #

cursorRight :: TermStr s => Capability (Int -> s) Source #

cursorUp :: TermStr s => Capability (Int -> s) Source #

cursorHome :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

cursorToLL :: TermStr s => Capability s Source #

# Absolute cursor movements

cursorAddress :: TermStr s => Capability (Point -> s) Source #

data Point Source #
