(if configured to do so),

whereas \fIxterm\ -e\fP does not.

.TP 8

696

.B -maximized

697

This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should ask the window manager to

698

maximize its layout on startup.

699

This corresponds to the \fBmaximized\fP resource.

700

701

Maximizing is not the reverse of iconifying;

702

it is possible to do both with certain window managers.

703

.TP 8

705

This option indicates that \fIxterm\fP should ask the window manager to

706

maximize its layout on startup.

.B +ls

This option indicates that the shell that is started should not be a login

\fBminBufSize\fP resource values to achieve better performance

if the operating system prefers larger buffer sizes.

1231

.B "maximized (\fPclass\fB Maximized)"

1232

Specifies whether or not \fIxterm\fP should ask the window manager to

maximize its layout on startup.

1234

The default is

1235

``false.''

.SS VT100 Widget Resources

1425

1443

.PP

1426

1444

The following resources are specified as part

1427

of the \fIvt100\fP widget (class \fIVT100\fP):

1428

These are specified by patterns such as "\fBXTerm.vt100.\fP\fINAME\fP":

1445

of the \fIvt100\fP widget (class \fIVT100\fP).

1446

They are specified by patterns such as "\fBXTerm.vt100.\fP\fINAME\fP".

1447

.PP

1448

If your \fIxterm\fP is configured to support the "toolbar", then those

1449

patterns need an extra level for the form-widget which holds the

1450

toolbar and vt100 widget. A wildcard between the top-level

1451

"XTerm" and the "vt100" widget makes the resource settings work for

1452

either, e.g., "\fBXTerm*vt100.\fP\fINAME\fP".

1429

.B "activeIcon (\fPclass\fB ActiveIcon)"

1431

1455

Specifies whether or not active icon windows are to be used when the

1462

1486

Specifies whether control sequences that query the terminal's

1463

1487

notion of its function-key strings, as termcap or terminfo capabilities

1464

1488

should be allowed.

1465

The default is ``true.''

1489

The default is ``false.''

1490

.IP

1491

A few programs, e.g,. \fIvim\fP, use this feature to get an accurate

1492

description of the terminal's capabilities,

1493

independent of the termcap/terminfo setting:

1494

.RS

1495

.TP 3

1496

1497

\fIxterm\fP can tell the querying program how many colors it supports.

1498

This is a constant, depending on how it is compiled, typically 16.

1499

It does not change if you alter resource settings,

1500

e.g., the \fBboldColors\fP resource.

1501

.TP 3

1502

1503

\fIxterm\fP can tell the querying program what strings are sent by modified

1504

(shift-, control-, alt-) function- and keypad-keys.

1505

Reporting control- and alt-modifiers is a feature that relies on the

1506

\fIncurses\fP extended naming.

.TP

1467

1509

.B "allowTitleOps (\fPclass\fB AllowTitleOps)"

1468

1510

2246

2288

Values are the same as for the \fIset-vt-font\fP action.

2247

2289

The default is ``d'', i.e., "default".

2248

2290

.TP 8

2291

.B "inputMethod (\fPclass\fB XtCInputMethod)"

2292

Tells \fIxterm\fP which type of input method to use.

2293

There is no default method.

2294

.TP 8

2249

2295

.B "internalBorder (\fPclass\fB BorderWidth)"

2250

2296

Specifies the number of pixels between the characters and the window border.

2251

2297

The default is 2.

2559

2605

On startup, \fIxterm\fP determines the maximum number of clicks

2560

2606

by the \fBon\fP\fIX\fP\fBClicks\fP resource values which are set.

2561

2607

.TP 8

2608

.B "openIm (\fPclass\fB XtCOpenIm)"

2609

Tells \fIxterm\fP whether to open the input method at startup.
