;;; Commentary:
;;;; Terminals that use XON/XOFF flow control can cause problems with
;;;; GNU Emacs users. This file contains Emacs Lisp code that makes it
;;;; easy for a user to deal with this problem, when using such a
;;;; terminal.
;;;;
;;;; To invoke these adjustments, a user need only invoke the function
;;;; enable-flow-control-on with a list of terminal types in his/her own
;;;; .emacs file. As arguments, give it the names of one or more terminal
;;;; types in use by that user which require flow control adjustments.
;;;; Here's an example:
;;;;
;;;; (enable-flow-control-on "vt200" "vt300" "vt101" "vt131")
;;; Portability note: This uses (getenv "TERM"), and therefore probably
;;; won't work outside of UNIX-like environments.
;;; Code:
;;;###autoload
(defun enable-flow-control ()
"Enable use of flow control; let user type C-s as C-\\ and C-q as C-^."
(interactive)
;; Tell emacs to pass C-s and C-q to OS.
(set-input-mode nil t (nth 2 (current-input-mode)))
;; Initialize translate table, saving previous mappings, if any.
(let ((the-table (make-string 128 0)))
(let ((i 0)
(j (length keyboard-translate-table)))
(while (< i j)

(setq i (1+ i)))
(while (< i 128)
(aset the-table i i)
(setq i (1+ i))))
(setq keyboard-translate-table the-table))
;; Swap C-s and C-\
