							<p>Virtual terminal sequences are control character sequences that can control cursor movement, color/font mode, and other operations when written to the output stream. Sequences may also be received on the input stream in response to an output stream query information sequence or as an encoding of user input when the appropriate mode is set.</p>
<p>You can use <a href="getconsolemode" data-linktype="relative-path"><strong>GetConsoleMode</strong></a> and <a href="setconsolemode" data-linktype="relative-path"><strong>SetConsoleMode</strong></a> functions to configure this behavior. A sample of the suggested way to enable virtual terminal behaviors is included at the end of this document.</p>
<p>The behavior of the following sequences is based on the VT100 and derived terminal emulator technologies, most specifically the xterm terminal emulator. More information about terminal sequences can be found at <a href="http://vt100.net" data-linktype="external">http://vt100.net</a> and at <a href="http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html" data-linktype="external">http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html</a>.</p>
<h2 id="output-sequences"><span id="Output_Sequences"></span><span id="output_sequences"></span><span id="OUTPUT_SEQUENCES"></span>Output Sequences</h2>
<p>The following terminal sequences are intercepted by the console host when written into the output stream, if the ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING flag is set on the screen buffer handle using the <a href="setconsolemode" data-linktype="relative-path"><strong>SetConsoleMode</strong></a> function. Note that the DISABLE_NEWLINE_AUTO_RETURN flag may also be useful in emulating the cursor positioning and scrolling behavior of other terminal emulators in relation to characters written to the final column in any row.</p>
<h2 id="simple-cursor-positioning"><span id="Simple_Cursor_Positioning"></span><span id="simple_cursor_positioning"></span><span id="SIMPLE_CURSOR_POSITIONING"></span>Simple Cursor Positioning</h2>
<p>In all of the following descriptions, ESC is always the hexadecimal value 0x1B. No spaces are to be included in terminal sequences. For an example of how these sequences are used in practice, please see the <a href="#example" data-linktype="self-bookmark">example</a> at the end of this topic.</p>
<p>The following table describes simple escape sequences with a single action command directly after the ESC character. These sequences have no parameters and take effect immediately.</p>
<p>All commands in this table are generally equivalent to calling the <a href="setconsolecursorposition" data-linktype="relative-path"><strong>SetConsoleCursorPosition</strong></a> console API to place the cursor.</p>
<p>Cursor movement will be bounded by the current viewport into the buffer. Scrolling (if available) will not occur.</p>

<p><strong>Note</strong><br/>
* If there are scroll margins set, RI inside the margins will scroll only the contents of the margins, and leave the viewport unchanged. (See Scrolling Margins)</p>
<p>**There will be no value saved in memory until the first use of the save command. The only way to access the saved value is with the restore command.</p>

<p>The following tables encompass Control Sequence Introducer (CSI) type sequences. All CSI sequences start with ESC (0x1B) followed by [ (left bracket, 0x5B) and may contain parameters of variable length to specify more information for each operation. This will be represented by the shorthand &lt;n&gt;. Each table below is grouped by functionality with notes below each table explaining how the group works.</p>
<p>For all parameters, the following rules apply unless otherwise noted:</p>
<ul>
<li>&lt;n&gt; represents the distance to move and is an optional parameter</li>
<li>If &lt;n&gt; is omitted or equals 0, it will be treated as a 1</li>
<li>&lt;n&gt; cannot be larger than 32,767 (maximum short value)</li>
<li>&lt;n&gt; cannot be negative</li>
</ul>
<p>All commands in this section are generally equivalent to calling the <a href="setconsolecursorposition" data-linktype="relative-path"><strong>SetConsoleCursorPosition</strong></a> console API.</p>
<p>Cursor movement will be bounded by the current viewport into the buffer. Scrolling (if available) will not occur.</p>

<p>All commands in this section are generally equivalent to calling <a href="scrollconsolescreenbuffer" data-linktype="relative-path"><strong>ScrollConsoleScreenBuffer</strong></a> console API to move the contents of the console buffer.</p>
<p><strong>Caution</strong>  The command names are misleading. Scroll refers to which direction the text moves during the operation, not which way the viewport would seem to move.</p>

<p>The text is moved starting with the line the cursor is on. If the cursor is on the middle row of the viewport, then scroll up would move the bottom half of the viewport, and insert blank lines at the bottom. Scroll down would move the top half of the viewport’s rows, and insert new lines at the top.</p>
<p>Also important to note is scroll up and down are also affected by the scrolling margins. Scroll up and down won’t affect any lines outside the scrolling margins.</p>

<h2 id="scrolling-margins"><span id="Scrolling_Margins"></span><span id="scrolling_margins"></span><span id="SCROLLING_MARGINS"></span>Scrolling Margins</h2>
<p>The following sequences allow a program to configure the “scrolling region” of the screen that is affected by scrolling operations. This is a subset of the rows that are adjusted when the screen would otherwise scroll, for example, on a ‘\n’ or RI. These margins also affect the rows modified by Insert Line (IL) and Delete Line (DL), Scroll Up (SU) and Scroll Down (SD).</p>
<p>The scrolling margins can be especially useful for having a portion of the screen that doesn’t scroll when the rest of the screen is filled, such as having a title bar at the top or a status bar at the bottom of your application.</p>
<p>For DECSTBM, there are two optional parameters, &lt;t&gt; and &lt;b&gt;, which are used to specify the rows that represent the top and bottom lines of the scroll region, inclusive. If the parameters are omitted, &lt;t&gt; defaults to 1 and &lt;b&gt; defaults to the current viewport height.</p>
<p>Scrolling margins are per-buffer, so importantly, the Alternate Buffer and Main Buffer maintain separate scrolling margins settings (so a full screen application in the alternate buffer will not poison the main buffer’s margins).</p>

<p>Alt is treated by prefixing the sequence with an escape: ESC &lt;c&gt; where &lt;c&gt; is the character passed by the operating system. Alt+Ctrl is handled the same way except that the operating system will have pre-shifted the &lt;c&gt; key to the appropriate control character which will be relayed to the application.</p>
<p>Ctrl is generally passed through exactly as received from the system. This is typically a single character shifted down into the control character reserved space (0x0-0x1f). For example, Ctrl+@ (0x40) becomes NUL (0x00), Ctrl+[ (0x5b) becomes ESC (0x1b), etc. A few Ctrl key combinations are treated specially according to the following table:</p>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><strong>Note</strong>  Left Ctrl + Right Alt is treated as AltGr. When both are seen together, they will be stripped and the Unicode value of the character presented by the system will be passed into the target. The system will pre-translate AltGr values according to the current system input settings.</p>

<p>The following code provides an example of the recommended way to enable virtual terminal processing for an application. The intent of the sample is to demonstrate:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>The existing mode should always be retrieved via GetConsoleMode and analyzed before being set with SetConsoleMode.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Checking whether SetConsoleMode returns <code>0</code> and GetLastError returns STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER is the current mechanism to determine when running on a down-level system. An application receiving STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER with one of the newer console mode flags in the bit field should gracefully degrade behavior and try again.</p>
