Actually xTerm has SOME of the mappings defined by default, does anyone have a decent .xtermrc file for all of them?

Everything works correct for me.
I don't have any .xtermrc. Didn't even know it used one...

However, I start xterm with the following:

---8<---
#!/bin/tcsh
unsetenv LC_CTYPE
unsetenv LANG
xterm +sf +sp -aw -ut -132 -ti vt220 -sb -sl 500 -name rsx &
---8<---

And my X resources:
iMac:/Users/bqt> cat .Xresources
! *.hold: true
*.vt100.decTerminalID: 220
*.vt100.c132: true
! *.vt100.deleteIsDEL: true
*.vt100.saveLines: 1000
*.ptyInitialErase: true
*.backarrowKeyIsErase: true
*.backarrowKey: false
*.sunKeyboard: true
*.rightScrollBar: true

xterm.vt100.activeIcon: false
xterm.vt100.multiScroll: true

local.utmpInhibit: false
local.title: Terminal
local.vt100.loginShell: false
local.vt100.scrollBar: true

remote.utmpInhibit: false
remote.title: Terminal
remote.vt100.loginShell: true
remote.vt100.scrollBar: true

xunix.utmpInhibit: true
xunix.title: Xunix terminal
xunix.vt100.loginShell: false
xunix.vt100.scrollBar: true

rsx.utmpInhibit: true
rsx.title: RSX terminal
rsx.vt100.loginShell: false
rsx.vt100.scrollBar: true
rsx.sunKeyboard: true

vms.utmpInhibit: true
vms.title: VMS terminal
vms.vt100.loginShell: false
vms.vt100.scrollBar: true

Been playing remapping some "slime slim, full size Apple" kbd but the results aren't great. Does anybody have a canonical list of VT220 escape codes, preferably in hex (I think my term's escape sequence is broken)..

Why don't you use xterm? The mappings are already correct. And as a bonus, you actually get a VT100 emulation with less bugs.


Where are the config files for xterm stored? I want it to look less 1982 and have a font that doesn't require a microscope to read.
