screen: Special Capabilities
16.5 Special Terminal Capabilities
==================================
The following table describes all terminal capabilities that are
recognized by 'screen' and are not in the termcap manual (Termcap
(termcap)Top.). You can place these capabilities in your termcap
entries (in '/etc/termcap') or use them with the commands 'termcap',
'terminfo' and 'termcapinfo' in your 'screenrc' files. It is often not
possible to place these capabilities in the terminfo database.
'LP'
(bool)
Terminal has VT100 style margins ('magic margins'). Note that this
capability is obsolete -- 'screen' now uses the standard 'xn'
instead.
'Z0'
(str)
Change width to 132 columns.
'Z1'
(str)
Change width to 80 columns.
'WS'
(str)
Resize display. This capability has the desired width and height
as arguments. SunView(tm) example: '\E[8;%d;%dt'.
'NF'
(bool)
Terminal doesn't need flow control. Send ^S and ^Q direct to the
application. Same as 'flow off'. The opposite of this capability
is 'nx'.
'G0'
(bool)
Terminal can deal with ISO 2022 font selection sequences.
'S0'
(str)
Switch charset 'G0' to the specified charset. Default is '\E(%.'.
'E0'
(str)
Switch charset 'G0' back to standard charset. Default is '\E(B'.
'C0'
(str)
Use the string as a conversion table for font 0. See the 'ac'
capability for more details.
'CS'
(str)
Switch cursor-keys to application mode.

(str)
Switch cursor-keys to cursor mode.
'AN'

'KJ'
(str)
Set the encoding of the terminal. See the 'encoding' command
(Character Processing) for valid encodings.
'AF'
(str)
Change character foreground color in an ANSI conform way. This
capability will almost always be set to '\E[3%dm' ('\E[3%p1%dm' on
terminfo machines).
'AB'
(str)
Same as 'AF', but change background color.
'AX'
(bool)
Does understand ANSI set default fg/bg color ('\E[39m / \E[49m').

current font. (Character Translation).
'XT'
(bool)
Terminal understands special xterm sequences (OSC, mouse tracking).
'C8'
