347 -keysym.*sym* *string*
348 Remap a key symbol. See resource keysym.
349
350 -embed *windowid*
351 Tells rxvt to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
352 which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
353
354 Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
355 shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it quite
356 a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
357 create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.
358
359 The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits.
360
361 It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file descriptors
362 passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you can use
363 file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
364 terminal. This works regardless of wether the "-embed" option was
365 used or not.
366
367 Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option
368 can be used (a longer example is in doc/embed):
369
370 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
371 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
372 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
373 system "rxvt -embed $xid &";
374 });
375
376 -pty-fd *file descriptor*
377 Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair
378 but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
379 useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
380 without having to run a program within it.
381
382 If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries
383 and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
384 yourself if you want that.
385
386 As an extremely special case, specifying -1 will completely suppress
387 pty/tty operations.
388
389 Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be
390 used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd):
391
392 use IO::Pty;
393 use Fcntl;
394
395 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
396 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
397 system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
398 close $pty;
399
400 # now communicate with rxvt
401 my $slave = $pty->slave;
402 while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" }

312 411
313 There are two different methods that rxvt can use to get the Xresource
314 data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal Xresources
315 reader (~/.Xdefaults). For the first method (ie. rxvt -h lists
316 XGetDefaults), you can set and change the resources using X11 tools like 412 You can set and change the resources using X11 tools like xrdb. Many

415 later settings overwriting earlier ones:

320 If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. rxvt -h lists 417 1. system-wide app-defaults file, either locale-dependent OR global
321 .Xdefaults) then rxvt accepts application defaults set in 418 2. app-defaults file in $XAPPLRESDIR

728 877
729 The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 878 The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
730 879
731 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \e<M-C-a> 880 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>

734 883
735 If *string* takes the form of "proto:STRING", the specified STRING 884 If *string* takes the form of "command:STRING", the specified STRING
736 is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For example, 885 is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For example
737 "proto:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007" means: change the current locale to 886 the following means "change the current locale to "zh_CN.GBK" when
738 "zh_CN.GBK". 887 Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
888
889 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
890
891 If *string* takes the form "perl:STRING", then the specified STRING
892 is passed to the "on_keyboard_command" perl handler. See the
893 rxvtperl(3) manpage. For example, the selection extension (activated
894 via "rxvt -pe selection") listens for "selection:rot13" events:
895
896 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
897
898 Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key
899 mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are
900 being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are
901 being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will
902 automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on,
903 unless some of those are defined mappings themselves.
904
905 Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
906 if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's
907 "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into
908 the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement:
909
910 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
911 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
912
913 The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination
914 of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
915 "Shift-Insert".
916
917 The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
918 the fonts "suxuseuro" and "9x15bold", so you can have some limited
919 font-switching at runtime:
920
921 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
922 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
923
924 Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see rxvt(7) for more
925 info):
926
927 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
928 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t

931 perl-ext: *string*
932 Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default:
933 "default") to use in this terminal instance; option -pe.
934
935 Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using
936 them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions
937 loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource.
938 For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension
939 except "selection".
940
941 Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle
942 brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey
943 for searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same
944 extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple
945 arguments to the extension.
946
947 Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
948 necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
949
950 If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
951 interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is
952 that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be
953 available to all instances, while perl-ext is used for specific
954 instances.

896ENVIRONMENT 1153ENVIRONMENT
897 rxvt sets the environment variables TERM, COLORTERM and COLORFGBG. The 1154 rxvt sets and/or uses the following environment variables:
898 environment variable WINDOWID is set to the X window id number of the 1155
899 rxvt window and it also uses and sets the environment variable DISPLAY 1156 TERM
900 to specify which display terminal to use. rxvt uses the environment 1157 Normally set to "rxvt-unicode", unless overwritten at configure
901 variables RXVTPATH and PATH to find XPM files. 1158 time, via resources or on the commandline.
1159
1160 COLORTERM
1161 Either "rxvt", "rxvt-xpm", depending on wether rxvt was compiled
1162 with XPM support, and optionally with the added extension "-mono" to
1163 indicate that rxvt-unicode runs on a monochrome screen.
1164
1165 COLORFGBG
1166 Set to a string of the form "fg;bg" or "fg;xpm;bg", where "fg" is
1167 the colour code used as default foreground/text colour (or the
1168 string "default" to indicate that the default-colour escape sequence
1169 is to be used), "bg" is the colour code used as default background
1170 colour (or the string "default"), and "xpm" is the string "default"
1171 if rxvt was compiled with XPM support. Libraries like "ncurses" and
1172 "slang" can (and do) use this information to optimize screen output.
1173
1174 WINDOWID
1175 Set to the (decimal) X Window ID of the rxvt window (the toplevel
1176 window, which usually has subwindows for the scrollbar, the terminal
1177 window and so on).
1178
1179 TERMINFO
1180 Set to the terminfo directory iff rxvt was configured with
1181 "--with-terminfo=PATH".
1182
1183 DISPLAY
1184 Used by rxvt to connect to the display and set to the correct
1185 display in it's child processes.
1186
1187 SHELL
1188 The shell to be used for command execution, defaults to "/bin/sh".
1189
1190 RXVTPATH
1191 The path where rxvt looks for support files such as menu and xpm
1192 files.
1193
1194 PATH
1195 Used in the same way as "RXVTPATH".
1196
1197 RXVT_SOCKET
1198 The unix domain socket path used by rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1).
1199
1200 Default $HOME/.rxvt-unicode-*<nodename*.
1201
1202 HOME
1203 Used to locate the default directory for the unix domain socket for
1204 daemon communications and to locate various resource files (such as
1205 ".Xdefaults")
1206
1207 XAPPLRESDIR
1208 Directory where various X resource files are being located.
1209
1210 XENVIRONMENT
1211 If set and accessible, gives the name of a X resource file to be
1212 loaded by rxvt.
