[Konsole-devel] escape sequences to control encoding, and to query encoding

[Yakov Lerner]

Thanks Robert.
The use case is switching the encodings in vim. Sometimes, I
want utf8 in vim, sometimes latin1. Ideally, I want to
vim and konsole be synchronized automatically. Two cases here:

(1) change of encoding via vim setting (utf8<->latin1) would change
encoding of the konsole tab

(2) change of encoding in konsole (utf8<->latin1) tab would
vim to detect it and to set correct it's vim setting of encoding (via quering).

The escape sequences that you gave me, they allow for case (1)
but not for case (2) (querying is missing).

BTW do I understand it correct that different tabs of konsole can
have different encodings ? If this is correct, I don't follow logic of
'current system locale' that you mention. Different tabs can have
different LANG setting and correspondingly different konsole encodings,
correct ? The 'current system locale' is per-process, no ?

When you mean  'current system locale', do yuo mean $LANG
at the time when konsole process was started ? Can't it's
subshells subsequently change their $LANG ?

Thanks
Yakov
