shiftOutCharacter is scoped to the current view.
current.shiftOutCharacter is scoped to the current view.
default.shiftOutCharacter is globally scoped.
install.shiftOutCharacter is globally scoped.
query shiftOutCharacter set shiftOutCharacter { default | [ c ] } query current.shiftOutCharacter query default.shiftOutCharacter set default.shiftOutCharacter { install | [ c ] } query install.shiftOutCharacter
default | If you specify the default parameter for the set shiftOutCharacter command, the current view will use the value of default.shiftOutCharacter to display emulated SO control characters. |
c | If you specify the c parameter for the
set shiftOutCharacter command, the character indicated by c
will be used for the current view.
If you specify the c parameter for the set default.shiftOutCharacter
command, the character indicated by c will be used for all views that have
the shiftOutCharacter parameter set to default.
If the c parameter is not a single character, it is interpreted as a decimal, hexadecimal, or octal integer, in one of the formats exemplified here: 110, 0x6E, 0X6e, #6e, 0156. The character used to display emulated SO controls will be the character represented by the value specified. |
install | If you specify the install parameter for the set default.shiftOutCharacter command, all the views that have shiftOutCharacter set to default will use the value of install.shiftOutCharacter to display emulated SO control characters. |
If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set shiftOutCharacter command, default is assumed. If you do not specify any of the parameters for the set default.shiftOutCharacter command, install is assumed.
The query current.shiftOutCharacter command returns the character used to display emulated SO control characters in the current view.
