import VTMode from "@/components/VTMode";

# Select 80 or 132 Columns per Page (DECCOLM)

<VTMode value={3} />

Sets the screen to 132 columns if set or 80 columns if unset.

This requires [`132COLS` (DEC mode 40)](/vt/modes/132cols) to be set
to have any effect. If `132COLS` is not set, then setting or unsetting
this mode does nothing.

When this mode changes, the screen is resized to the given column amount,
performing reflow if necessary. If the GUI window is too narrow or too wide,
it is typically resized to fit the explicit column count or a scrollbar is
used. If the GUI window is manually resized (i.e. with the mouse), the column
width of DECCOLM is not enforced.

The scroll margins are reset to their default values given the new screen size.
The cursor is moved to the top-left. The screen is erased using
[erase display (ED) with command 2](/vt/ed).

## Validation

### DECCOLM V-1: Disabled

```bash
printf "ABC\n"
printf "\033[?40l" # disable mode 3
printf "\033[?3h"
printf "X"
```

```
|ABC_____|
|Xc______|
|________|
```

The command should be completely ignored.

### DECCOLM V-2: Unset (80 Column)

```bash
printf "ABC\n"
printf "\033[?40h" # enable mode 3
printf "\033[?3l" # unset the mode
printf "X"
```

```
|X_______|
```

The screen should be 80 columns wide.

### DECCOLM V-3: Set (132 Column)

```bash
printf "ABC\n"
printf "\033[?40h" # enable mode 3
printf "\033[?3h"
printf "X"
```

```
|X_______|
```

The screen should be 132 columns wide.
