25.6 TUI Configuration Variables
Several configuration variables control the appearance of TUI windows.
set tui border-kind
kind- Select the border appearance for the source, assembly and register windows.
The possible values are the following:
space
- Use a space character to draw the border.
ascii
- Use ascii characters `+', `-' and `|' to draw the border.
acs
- Use the Alternate Character Set to draw the border. The border is
drawn using character line graphics if the terminal supports them.
set tui border-mode
modeset tui active-border-mode
mode- Select the display attributes for the borders of the inactive windows
or the active window. The mode can be one of the following:
normal
- Use normal attributes to display the border.
standout
- Use standout mode.
reverse
- Use reverse video mode.
half
- Use half bright mode.
half-standout
- Use half bright and standout mode.
bold
- Use extra bright or bold mode.
bold-standout
- Use extra bright or bold and standout mode.
set tui tab-width
nchars- Set the width of tab stops to be nchars characters. This
setting affects the display of TAB characters in the source and
assembly windows.
set tui compact-source
[on
|off
]- Set whether the TUI source window is displayed in “compact” form.
The default display uses more space for line numbers and starts the
source text at the next tab stop; the compact display uses only as
much space as is needed for the line numbers in the current file, and
only a single space to separate the line numbers from the source.
Note that the colors of the TUI borders can be controlled using the
appropriate set style
commands. See Output Styling.
