current parameter
default parameter
install parameter

Scope

shiftInCharacter is scoped to the current view.
current.shiftInCharacter is scoped to the current view.
default.shiftInCharacter is globally scoped.
install.shiftInCharacter is globally scoped.

Syntax
query shiftInCharacter
set shiftInCharacter { default
                     | [ c ]
                     }
query current.shiftInCharacter
query default.shiftInCharacter
set default.shiftInCharacter { install
                             | [ c ]
                             }
query install.shiftInCharacter 
Parameters

default If you specify the default parameter for the set shiftInCharacter command, the current view will use the value of default.shiftInCharacter to display emulated SI control characters.
c If you specify the c parameter for the set shiftInCharacter command, the character indicated by c will be used for the current view. If you specify the c parameter for the set default.shiftInCharacter command, the character indicated by c will be used for all views that have the shiftInCharacter parameter set to default.

If the c parameter is not a single character, it is interpreted as a decimal, hexadecimal, or octal integer, in one of the formats exemplified here: 110, 0x6E, 0X6e, #6e, 0156. The character used to display emulated SI controls will be the character represented by the value specified.
install If you specify the install parameter for the set default.shiftInCharacter command, all the views that have shiftInCharacter set to default will use the value of install.shiftInCharacter to display emulated SI control characters.

Description

default	If you specify the default parameter for the set shiftInCharacter command, the current view will use the value of default.shiftInCharacter to display emulated SI control characters.
c	If you specify the c parameter for the set shiftInCharacter command, the character indicated by c will be used for the current view. If you specify the c parameter for the set default.shiftInCharacter command, the character indicated by c will be used for all views that have the shiftInCharacter parameter set to default. If the c parameter is not a single character, it is interpreted as a decimal, hexadecimal, or octal integer, in one of the formats exemplified here: 110, 0x6E, 0X6e, #6e, 0156. The character used to display emulated SI controls will be the character represented by the value specified.
install	If you specify the install parameter for the set default.shiftInCharacter command, all the views that have shiftInCharacter set to default will use the value of install.shiftInCharacter to display emulated SI control characters.
