140     \&\fBrxvt-unicode\fR, version \fB@@RXVT_VERSION@@\fR, is a colour vt102 terminal
141     emulator intended as an \fIxterm\fR(1) replacement for users who do not
142     require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style
143     configurability. As a result, \fBrxvt-unicode\fR uses much less swap space \*(--
144     a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.

146     .IX Header "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS"
147 root 1.12 See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) (try \f(CW\*(C`man 7 @@RXVT_NAME@@\*(C'\fR) for a list of
148     frequently asked questions and answer to them and some common
149     problems. That document is also accessible on the World-Wide-Web at
150     <http://cvs.schmorp.de/browse/*checkout*/rxvt\-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html>.
151 root 1.1 .SH "RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT"
152     .IX Header "RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT"
153     Unlike the original rxvt, \fBrxvt-unicode\fR stores all text in Unicode
154     internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
155     world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
156     especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
157     like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
158     like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
159     scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
160     fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are left-to-right scripts, such
161     as hebrew: \fBrxvt-unicode\fR adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms
162     belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things \*(--
163     such as cursor-movement while editing \*(-- break otherwise), but that might
164     change.
165     .PP
166     If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let
167     me recommend \f(CW\*(C`mlterm\*(C'\fR, which is a very userfriendly, lean and clean
168     terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
169     because the author couldn't get \f(CW\*(C`mlterm\*(C'\fR to use one font for latin1 and
170     another for japanese.
171     .PP
172     Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
173     display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other
174     programs force onto it's users never made sense to me: You should be able
175     to choose any font for any script freely.
176     .PP
177     Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than
178     it's predecessor, supports things such as \s-1XFT\s0 and \s-1ISO\s0 14755 that are handy
179     in i18n\-environments, is faster, and has a lot less bugs than the original
180     rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements.
181     .PP
182     It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean
183     and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode
184     without most of it's features to get a lean binary. It also comes with
185     a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows
186     from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and
187     drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and
188     @@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) (client).
189     .PP
190     It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have
191     been extended) easier accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical
192     reference documentation (escape sequences etc.).
193     .SH "OPTIONS"
194     .IX Header "OPTIONS"
195     The \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR options (mostly a subset of \fIxterm\fR's) are listed
196     below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be
197     eliminated or default values chosen at compile\-time, so options and
198     defaults listed may not accurately reflect the version installed on
199     your system. `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-h' gives a list of major compile-time options on
200     the \fIOptions\fR line. Option descriptions may be prefixed with which
201     compile option each is dependent upon. e.g. `Compile \fI\s-1XIM\s0\fR:' requires
202     \&\fI\s-1XIM\s0\fR on the \fIOptions\fR line. Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-help' gives a list of all
203     command-line options compiled into your version.
204     .PP
205     Note that \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR permits the resource name to be used as a
206     long-option (\-\-/++ option) so the potential command-line options are
207     far greater than those listed. For example: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-\-loginShell \-\-color1
208     Orange'.

518     There are two different methods that @@RXVT_NAME@@ can use to get the

520     Xresources reader (\fB~/.Xdefaults\fR). For the first method (ie.
521     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-h\fR lists \fBXGetDefaults\fR), you can set and change the
522 root 1.12 resources using X11 tools like \fBxrdb\fR. Many distribution do also load
523     settings from the \fB~/.Xresources\fR file when X starts. @@RXVT_NAME@@

537     set in XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile\-time defined: usually

540     Note that when reading X resources, \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR recognizes two
541     class names: \fBXTerm\fR and \fBURxvt\fR. The class name \fBRxvt\fR allows
542     resources common to both \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR and the original \fIrxvt\fR to be
543     easily configured, while the class name \fBURxvt\fR allows resources

1068     This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode.
1069     .Sp
1070     Start by pressing and holding both \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR, then enter
1071     hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR will
1072     commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
1073     \&\f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
1074     \&\f(CW\*(C`Space\*(C'\fR, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new
1075     one.
1076     .Sp
1077     As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e\-mail
1078     address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e\-mail
1079     address printed as hexcodes, e.g. \f(CW\*(C`671d 65e5\*(C'\fR. You can enter this easily
1080     by pressing \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR, followed by \f(CW\*(C`6\-7\-1\-D\-SPACE\-6\-5\-E\-5\*(C'\fR,
1081     followed by releasing the modifier keys.

1083 root 1.1 .IX Item "5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method"
1084     This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of
1085     your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding.
1086     .Sp
1087     Start by pressing \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR together, then releasing
1088     them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not
1089     invoke it's usual function but instead will insert the corresponding
1090     keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been
1091     released, otherwise pressing e.g. \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR would enter the symbol for
1092     \&\f(CW\*(C`ISO Level 2 Switch\*(C'\fR, although your intention might have been to enter a
1093     reverse tab (Shift\-Tab).

1096     While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection

1099 root 1.1 .IX Item "5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input"
1100     This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with
1101     characters already displayed.
1102     .Sp
1103     You enter this mode by holding down \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR together, then
1104     pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode
1105     hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
1106     pointer is displayed until you release \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR.
1107     .Sp
1108     In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
1109     character \- due to implementation reasons, characters combined with
1110     combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will
1111     always be drawn using the built-in support font.
