139     .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
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'.

516     There are two different methods that @@RXVT_NAME@@ can use to get the
517     Xresource data: using the X libraries (Xrm*\-functions) or internal
518     Xresources reader (\fB~/.Xdefaults\fR). For the first method (ie.
519     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-h\fR lists \fBXGetDefaults\fR), you can set and change the
520 root 1.12 resources using X11 tools like \fBxrdb\fR. Many distribution do also load
521     settings from the \fB~/.Xresources\fR file when X starts. @@RXVT_NAME@@

533     If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-h\fR

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

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

1068     Start by pressing and holding both \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR, then enter
1069     hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR will
1070     commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
1071     \&\f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
1072     \&\f(CW\*(C`Space\*(C'\fR, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new

1078     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,

1085     Start by pressing \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR together, then releasing
1086     them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not

1089     released, otherwise pressing e.g. \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR would enter the symbol for

1103     hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
