Setting hterm preferences?

[rafi]

I'm getting VM217:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: term_ is not defined
For example:

term_.prefs_.set('pref-name', 'pref-value')
term_.prefs_.set('background-color', '#002B36')
term_.prefs_.set('foreground-color', '#839496')
term_.prefs_.set('font-family', 'Menlo')
term_.prefs_.set('font-size', 12)
term_.prefs_.set('font-smoothing', 'subpixel-antialiased')

As per https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/assets/+/factory-3004.B/chromeapps/hterm/doc/faq.txt#234

Are you doing this in javascript console of the browser? This is not supported as the hterm instance is not public.

I'm planning to add command-line options for setting hterm preference on the server side, the client interface is ok(receive options from websocket), but server side is not done currently.

[rafi]

Yes, I tried in the js console of browser as mentioned in the hterm docs.
Thank you for this project, it's awesome!

Hi @rafi , I've added command-line option (--client-option, -t) for sending hterm preferences to the client, try the latest master branch.

The -t option can be used like this:

• -t font-size=20
• -t foreground-color=blue
• -t keybindings='{ "Ctrl-Alt-K": "clearScrollback","Ctrl-Shift-L": "PASS"}'
• -t cursor-blink-cycle="[1000, 500]"

The option value can be a json string, or plain value. Use -t multiple times to send more options.

The examples you provided do not work for me. I get the following error:

Uncaught Error: No option with key "font-size"
at s.setOption ((index):11)
at (index):20
at Array.forEach ()
at WebSocket.i.onmessage ((index):20)

I tried each of your examples verbatim and I get the same error each time.

I also visited the xterm manual link that you posted in response to a different issue.

Can you please provide a list of all the option keys as well as the type and range of values expected for each?

@oneleft ttyd uses xterm.js now, please view the link below to get the available options:

example:

ttyd -t 'fontSize=30' bash

I really appreciate the quick response. Thank you. Unfortunately, I am getting the same error and I copied the example you provided directly onto my bash command line. Also, I did not find a list of key values for the options on the page you linked me to.
