|
|
343 | |
|
|
344 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option |
|
|
345 | can be used (a longer example is in doc/embed): |
|
|
346 | |
|
|
347 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
348 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
349 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
350 | system "rxvt -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
351 | }); |
|
|
352 | |
|
|
353 | -pty-fd *fileno* |
|
|
354 | Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair |
|
|
355 | but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is |
|
|
356 | useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
357 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
358 | |
|
|
359 | If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries |
|
|
360 | and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
361 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
362 | |
|
|
363 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
364 | used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd): |
|
|
365 | |
|
|
366 | use IO::Pty; |
|
|
367 | use Fcntl; |
|
|
368 | |
|

369 | my $pty = new IO::Pty; |
|
|
370 | fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec |
|
|
371 | system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&"; |
|
|
372 | close $pty; |
|
|
373 | |
|
|
374 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|

856 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key |
|
|
857 | mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are |
|
|
858 | being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are |
|
|
859 | being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will |
|
|
860 | automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on, |
|
|
861 | unless some of those are defined mappings themselves. |
|
|
862 | |
|
|
863 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
864 | if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's |
|
|
865 | "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into |
|
|
866 | the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement: |
|
|
867 | |
|
|
868 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
869 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
870 | |
|
|
871 | The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination |

873 | "Shift-Insert". |
