## Terminal Emulation

The Terminal view is an ANSI-conformant terminal emulator. You can use the Terminal view to telnet into a remote UNIX host.

To do so, set the TERM environment variable on the remote host to ansi. This enables programs on the remote host, such as vi and Emacs, to display text properly. The Terminal view does not currently support other emulation modes, such as VT100.

The size of the terminal window as understood by the remote is automatically adjusted as the size of your Terminal view changes. The colors and font used by the Terminal can be configured in the Eclipse Preferences, Appearance section. A separate Terminal Preference Page allows inverting the terminal colors easily if desired.

#### Optional Command Input Field

The optional Command Input Field can be enabled when sending commands to a dumb terminal that does not support cursor keys for editing. In such a case, the Command Input Field provides a full editor that supports cursor navigation, copy and paste, as well as a history of previous commands that can be accessed by Ctrl+Space content assist.

If more space than the default single editing line is needed for very complex commands, the Command Input Field can be enlarged by dragging its upper handle up with the mouse.
