onDidWrite property

Event<String> get onDidWrite

An event that when fired will write data to the terminal. Unlike {@link Terminal.sendText} which sends text to the underlying child pseudo-device (the child), this will write the text to parent pseudo-device (the terminal itself).

Note writing \n will just move the cursor down 1 row, you need to write \r as well to move the cursor to the left-most cell.

Events fired before {@link Pseudoterminal.open} is called will be be ignored.

Example: Write red text to the terminal

const writeEmitter = new vscode.EventEmitter<string>();
const pty: vscode.Pseudoterminal = {
  onDidWrite: writeEmitter.event,
  open: () => writeEmitter.fire('\x1b[31mHello world\x1b[0m'),
  close: () => {}
};
vscode.window.createTerminal({ name: 'My terminal', pty });

Example: Move the cursor to the 10th row and 20th column and write an asterisk

writeEmitter.fire('\x1b[10;20H*');

Implementation

_i3.Event<_i2.String> get onDidWrite => _i5.getProperty(
      this,
      'onDidWrite',
    );

set onDidWrite (Event<String> value)

Implementation

set onDidWrite(_i3.Event<_i2.String> value) {
  _i5.setProperty(
    this,
    'onDidWrite',
    value,
  );
}
