4. VTfm customizing

4.1 Edit some parameters in source code

You can modify the values of the following constants in VTfm source code

  • MAX_COMM_QUA   - maximum number of command lines (def is 64),
  • MAX_COMM_LEN     - maximum length of command line (def is 4096),
  • MAX_DIR_FQUA       - maximum number of files in directory panel (def is 8192),
  • REC_BUFF_SIZE        - I/O buffer size for file coping (def is 127 blocks)

To do this edit file VTFM.C and modify values in the following lines

  • #define MAX_COMM_QUA       64
  • #define MAX_COMM_LEN       4096
  • #define MAX_DIR_FQUA           8192
  • #define REC_BUFF_SIZE            127

4.2 F1-F10 keys instead of F11-F20

The default VTfm operation keys for DEC VT-series terminals are F11-F20. But it is possible to use F1-F10 keys on some keyboards if run VTfm with "F1" argument:

                   $ VTFM F1

For example, if you use PowerTerm terminal emulator then uncheck “Use Emulator Alt Keys” in the PowerTerm “Terminal Setup” window
 


Remember that this VTfm feature is not guaranteed for hardware keyboards.
