cleanly. To erase server status, enter the following command before
restarting the application:
% /usr/bin/X11/kb_indicator -clear
If your language is set to Hebrew, the Keyboard Manager application
(/usr/bin/X11/decwkm) provides the same function as the Keyboard
Indicator application provides for Asian languages.
2.3 Using Terminal Interface Features for Asian Languages
The Asian terminal driver (atty) and the Thai terminal driver (ttty)
support input and output of English and other language characters over
asynchronous terminal lines. When one or both of these drivers are installed,
you can set terminal line characteristics to be appropriate for the language
you are using. The driver’s local language capabilities are supported in the
following terminal configurations:
• Terminal connected directly to the host machine by means of a serial line
• Terminal connected through LAT to the host system
• Terminal connected through TCP/IP to the host system
See atty
(7) and ttty
(7) for more information about these terminal drivers.
The stty command can enable support for multibyte codesets and special
character manipulation capabilities, such as the following:
• Automatic codeset conversion between terminal and application
(Section 2.3.1)
• Line editing of multibyte characters (Section 2.3.2)
• Japanese input method (Kana-Kanji conversion) (Section 2.3.3)
• Thai terminal support (Section 2.3.4)
• Phrase input (Appendix B)
This section provides general information about using the stty command to
enable features added to the terminal subsystem for Asian languages.
The stty utility sets or reports on terminal input and output characteristics
of the device that is the utility’s standard input. Table 2–1 describes the
stty options that set line discipline for Asian languages.
