<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1> |
| 51 |
<p><strong>rxvt-unicode</strong>, version <strong>6.0</strong>, is a colour vt102 terminal |
| 52 |
emulator intended as an <em>xterm</em>(1) replacement for users who do not |
| 53 |
require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style |
| 54 |
configurability. As a result, <strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> uses much less swap space -- |
| 55 |
a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.</p> |

<h1><a name="rxvtunicode_vs__rxvt">RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT</a></h1> |
| 68 |
<p>Unlike the original rxvt, <strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> stores all text in Unicode |
| 69 |
internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the |
| 70 |
world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult, |
| 71 |
especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts |
| 72 |
like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules, |
| 73 |
like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these |
| 74 |
scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work |
| 75 |
fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are left-to-right scripts, such |
| 76 |
as hebrew: <strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms |
| 77 |
belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things -- |
| 78 |
such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might |
| 79 |
change.</p> |
| 80 |
<p>If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let |
| 81 |
me recommend <code>mlterm</code>, which is a very userfriendly, lean and clean |
| 82 |
terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely |
| 83 |
because the author couldn't get <code>mlterm</code> to use one font for latin1 and |
| 84 |
another for japanese.</p> |
| 85 |
<p>Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to |
| 86 |
display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other |
| 87 |
programs force onto it's users never made sense to me: You should be able |
| 88 |
to choose any font for any script freely.</p> |
| 89 |
<p>Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than |
| 90 |
it's predecessor, supports things such as XFT and ISO 14755 that are handy |
| 91 |
in i18n-environments, is faster, and has a lot less bugs than the original |
| 92 |
rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements.</p> |
| 93 |
<p>It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean |
| 94 |
and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode |
| 95 |
without most of it's features to get a lean binary. It also comes with |
| 96 |
a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows |
| 97 |
from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and |
| 98 |
drastically reduces memory usage. See <code>rxvtd(1)</code> (daemon) and |
| 99 |
<code>rxvtc(1)</code> (client).</p> |
| 100 |
<p>It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have |
| 101 |
been extended) easier accessible: see <code>rxvt(7)</code> for technical |
| 102 |
reference documentation (escape sequences etc.).</p> |

<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1> |
| 107 |
<p>The <strong>rxvt</strong> options (mostly a subset of <em>xterm</em>'s) are listed |
| 108 |
below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be |
| 109 |
eliminated or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and |
| 110 |
defaults listed may not accurately reflect the version installed on |
| 111 |
your system. `rxvt -h' gives a list of major compile-time options on |
| 112 |
the <em>Options</em> line. Option descriptions may be prefixed with which |
| 113 |
compile option each is dependent upon. e.g. `Compile <em>XIM</em>:' requires |
| 114 |
<em>XIM</em> on the <em>Options</em> line. Note: `rxvt -help' gives a list of all |
| 115 |
command-line options compiled into your version.</p> |
| 116 |
<p>Note that <strong>rxvt</strong> permits the resource name to be used as a |
| 117 |
long-option (--/++ option) so the potential command-line options are |
| 118 |
far greater than those listed. For example: `rxvt --loginShell --color1 |
| 119 |
Orange'.</p> |
| 120 |
<p>The following options are available:</p> |

<h1><a name="resources__available_also_as_longoptions_">RESOURCES (available also as long-options)</a></h1> |
| 627 |
<p>Note: `rxvt --help' gives a list of all resources (long |
| 628 |
options) compiled into your version.</p> |
| 629 |
<p>There are two different methods that rxvt can use to get the |
| 630 |
Xresource data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal |
| 631 |
Xresources reader (<strong>~/.Xdefaults</strong>). For the first method (ie. |
| 632 |
<strong>rxvt -h</strong> lists <strong>XGetDefaults</strong>), you can set and change the |
| 633 |
resources using X11 tools like <strong>xrdb</strong>. Many distribution do also load |
| 634 |
settings from the <strong>~/.Xresources</strong> file when X starts. rxvt |
| 635 |
will consult the following files/resources in order, with later settings |
| 636 |
overwriting earlier ones:</p> |
| 637 |
<pre> |
| 638 |
1. system-wide app-defaults file, either locale-dependent OR global |
| 639 |
2. app-defaults file in $XAPPLRESDIR |
| 640 |
3. RESOURCE_MANAGER property on root-window OR $HOME/.Xdefaults |
| 641 |
4. SCREEN_RESOURCES for the current screen |
| 642 |
5. $XENVIRONMENT file OR $HOME/.Xdefaults-<nodename></pre> |
| 643 |
<p>If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. <strong>rxvt -h</strong> |
| 644 |
lists <strong>.Xdefaults</strong>) then <strong>rxvt</strong> accepts application defaults |
| 645 |
set in XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually |
| 646 |
<strong>/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt</strong>) and resources set in |
| 647 |
<strong>~/.Xdefaults</strong>, or <strong>~/.Xresources</strong> if <strong>~/.Xdefaults</strong> does not exist. |
| 648 |
Note that when reading X resources, <strong>rxvt</strong> recognizes two |
| 649 |
class names: <strong>XTerm</strong> and <strong>URxvt</strong>. The class name <strong>Rxvt</strong> allows |
| 650 |
resources common to both <strong>rxvt</strong> and the original <em>rxvt</em> to be |
| 651 |
easily configured, while the class name <strong>URxvt</strong> allows resources |
| 652 |
unique to <strong>rxvt</strong>, notably colours and key-handling, to be |
| 653 |
shared between different <strong>rxvt</strong> configurations. If no |
| 654 |
resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used. Command-line |
| 655 |
arguments can be used to override resource settings. The following |
| 656 |
resources are allowed:</p> |

<p>Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:</p> |

<p>If <em>string</em> takes the form of <code>command:STRING</code>, the specified <strong>STRING</strong> |
| 1343 |
is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For |
| 1344 |
example the following means ``change the current locale to <code>zh_CN.GBK</code> |

<dd> |

<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
| 1353 |
will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
| 1354 |
no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
| 1355 |
means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide |
| 1356 |
definitions for <code>Meta-a</code>, <code>Shift-a</code> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
| 1357 |
mappings themselves.</p> |

</dd> |
| 1359 |
<dd> |
| 1360 |
<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
| 1361 |
if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's |
| 1362 |
<code>Shift-Insert</code> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke ``holes'' into the |
| 1363 |
user-defined keymap using the <code>builtin:</code> replacement:</p> |

URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:</pre> |

</dd> |
| 1370 |
<dd> |
| 1371 |
<p>The first line defines a mapping for <code>Insert</code> and <em>any</em> combination |
| 1372 |
of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
| 1373 |
<code>Shift-Insert</code>.</p> |
| 1374 |
</dd> |

<dd> |
| 1376 |
<p>The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
| 1377 |
the fonts <code>suxuseuro</code> and <code>9x15bold</code>, so you can have some limited |

font-switching at runtime:</p> |

<h1><a name="changing_fonts">CHANGING FONTS</a></h1> |
| 1454 |
<p>Changing fonts (or font sizes, respectively) via the keypad is not yet |
| 1455 |
supported in rxvt-unicode. Bug me if you need this.</p> |
| 1456 |
<p>You can, however, switch fonts at runtime using escape sequences (and |
| 1457 |
therefore using the menubar), e.g.:</p> |
| 1458 |
<pre> |
| 1459 |
printf '\e]710;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic"</pre> |
| 1460 |
<p>rxvt-unicode will automatically re-apply these fonts to the output so far.</p> |

<h1><a name="iso_14755_support">ISO 14755 SUPPORT</a></h1> |
| 1465 |
<p>ISO 14755 is a standard for entering and viewing unicode characters |
| 1466 |
and character codes using the keyboard. It consists of 4 parts. The |
| 1467 |
first part is available rxvt-unicode has been compiled with |
| 1468 |
<code>--enable-frills</code>, the rest is available when rxvt-unicode was compiled |
| 1469 |
with <code>--enable-iso14755</code>.</p> |
| 1470 |
<ul> |
| 1471 |
<li><strong><a name="item_5_2e1_3a_basic_method">5.1: Basic method</a></strong><br /> |
| 1472 |
</li> |
| 1473 |
This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode. |
| 1474 |
<p>Start by pressing and holding both <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code>, then enter |
| 1475 |
hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code> will |
| 1476 |
commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down |
| 1477 |
<code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing |
| 1478 |
<code>Space</code>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new |
| 1479 |
one.</p> |
| 1480 |
<p>As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail |
| 1481 |
address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail |
| 1482 |
address printed as hexcodes, e.g. <code>671d 65e5</code>. You can enter this easily |
| 1483 |
by pressing <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code>, followed by <code>6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5</code>, |
| 1484 |
followed by releasing the modifier keys.</p> |
| 1485 |

<li><strong><a name="item_5_2e2_3a_keyboard_symbols_entry_method">5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method</a></strong><br /> |
| 1487 |
</li> |
| 1488 |
This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of |
| 1489 |
your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding. |
| 1490 |
<p>Start by pressing <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code> together, then releasing |
| 1491 |
them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not |
| 1492 |
invoke it's usual function but instead will insert the corresponding |
| 1493 |
keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been |
| 1494 |
released, otherwise pressing e.g. <code>Shift</code> would enter the symbol for |
| 1495 |
<code>ISO Level 2 Switch</code>, although your intention might have been to enter a |
| 1496 |
reverse tab (Shift-Tab).</p> |
| 1497 |

<li><strong><a name="item_5_2e3_3a_screen_2dselection_entry_method">5.3: Screen-selection entry method</a></strong><br /> |
| 1499 |
</li> |
| 1500 |
While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection |
| 1501 |
mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map. |
| 1502 |
<p></p> |
| 1503 |
<li><strong><a name="item_5_2e4_3a_feedback_method_for_identifying_displayed">5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input</a></strong><br /> |
| 1504 |
</li> |
| 1505 |
This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with |
| 1506 |
characters already displayed. |
| 1507 |
<p>You enter this mode by holding down <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code> together, then |
| 1508 |
pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode |
| 1509 |
hex <code>code(s)</code> (it might be a combining character) of the character under the |
| 1510 |
pointer is displayed until you release <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code>.</p> |
| 1511 |
<p>In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this |
| 1512 |
character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with |
| 1513 |
combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will |
| 1514 |
always be drawn using the built-in support font.</p> |
| 1515 |
<p></p></ul> |
| 1516 |
<p>With respect to conformance, rxvt-unicode is supposed to be compliant to |
| 1517 |
both scenario A and B of ISO 14755, including part 5.2.</p> |
