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 ?

NAME
Tk::Scrolled - Create a widget with attached scrollbar(s) SYNOPSIS
$whatever = $parent->Scrolled(Whatever ?,-scrollbars=>where? ?,...?); DESCRIPTION
To stop a flood of ScrlWhatever widgets Perl/Tk introcuded the special constructor Scrolled. Scrolled creates a widget of the given Class Whatever with attached scrollbar(s). OPTIONS
All options beside -scrollbars explained below are passed to the Whatever widget constructor. -scrollbars Expects as argument the position where the scrollbars should be created: w, e or n, s or a combination of them. If the one or both positions are prefixed with o the scrollbar will only show up if there is a 'real' need to scroll. ADVERTISED SUBWIDGETS
See "Subwidget" in Tk::mega how to use advertised widgets. scrolled the scrolled widget widget same as scrolled above. widget is the kind of widget passed to scrolled as first argument in all lowercase. xscrollbar the Scrollbar widget used for horizontal scrolling (if it exists) yscrollbar the Scrollbar widget used for vertical scrolling (if it exists) corner a frame in the corner between the vertical and horizontal scrolbar BUGS
If a widget does not support -{x,y}scrollcommand options, Scrolled does not complain if the specified widget class does not support them. E.g., $parent->Scrolled('Button', ...) One does not get an error message or warning when one tries to configure scrollbars after the widget construction: $ascrolled->configure(-scrollbars => 'e'); SEE ALSO
