Operating Systems AIX Enable scrollbar on all aixterm windows ? Post 302406937 by Browser_ice on Wednesday 24th of March 2010 08:01:11 AM

Question Enable scrollbar on all aixterm windows ?

There is this workstations that I sometimes work on and it annoys me because it does not have any vertical scrollbar enabled.

I did a Google on activating scroll bar but they talk about escape sequences that I have no clue on how to do this:

CSI ? P m h DEC Private Mode Set (DECSET)
P s = 3 0 → Show scrollbar (rxvt).


I tried rebooting the workstation to maybe boot into somekind of menu but it does not. I tried logging with root but it just stays in textless mode. Using the general logon id simply winds up with an aixterm window + clock on the desktop.

I do not know enough about aix to go any further.

How can I enable all new aix term windows to have the vertical scrollbar ?

Or, how can I do that escape sequence to enable it on any term windows ?

Additional modifiers can be used to force a scrollbar to be shown or hidden. For example, "auto -y" means the horizontal scrollbar should be shown when needed but the vertical scrollbar should always be hidden; "auto +x" means the vertical scrollbar should be shown when needed but the hori- zontal scrollbar should always be shown, and so on. both Both scrollbars are shown none The scrollbars are never shown. x Only the horizontal scrollbar is shown; y Only the vertical scrollbar is shown.

Name: hsb Class: Scrollbar The horizontal scrollbar subwidget. Name: text Class: Text The Text subwidget inside the ScrolledText widget. Name: vsb Class: Scrollbar The vertical scrollbar subwidget. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The tixScrolledText command creates a new window (given by the pathName argument) and makes it into a ScrolledText widget. Additional options, described above, may be specified on the command line or in the option database to configure aspects of the ScrolledText widget such as its cursor and relief. WIDGET COMMANDS
The tixScrolledText command creates a new Tcl command whose name is the same as the path name of the ScrolledText widget's window. This command may be used to invoke various operations on the widget. It has the following general form: pathName option ?arg arg ...? PathName is the name of the command, which is the same as the ScrolledText widget's path name. Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command. The following commands are possible for ScrolledText widgets: pathName cget option Returns the current value of the configuration option given by option. Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixScrolledText command. pathName configure ?option? ?value option value ...? Query or modify the configuration options of the widget. If no option is specified, returns a list describing all of the available options for pathName (see Tk_ConfigureInfo for information on the format of this list). If option is specified with no value, then the command returns a list describing the one named option (this list will be identical to the corresponding sublist of the value returned if no option is specified). If one or more option-value pairs are specified, then the command modifies the given widget option(s) to have the given value(s); in this case the command returns an empty string. Option may have any of the values accepted by the tixScrolledText command. pathName subwidget name ?args? When no additional arguments are given, returns the pathname of the subwidget of the specified name. When no additional arguments are given, the widget command of the specified subwidget will be called with these parameters. KEYWORDS
