.SH "RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT" |

.IX Header "RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT" |
| 155 |
Unlike the original rxvt, \fBrxvt-unicode\fR stores all text in Unicode |
| 156 |
internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the |
| 157 |
world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult, |
| 158 |
especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts |
| 159 |
like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules, |
| 160 |
like tibetan or devanagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these |
| 161 |
scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work |
| 162 |
fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are right-to-left scripts, such |
| 163 |
as hebrew: \fBrxvt-unicode\fR adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms |
| 164 |
belong in the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things \*(-- |
| 165 |
such as cursor-movement while editing \*(-- break otherwise), but that might |
| 166 |
change. |
| 167 |
.PP |
| 168 |
If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let |
| 169 |
me recommend \f(CW\*(C`mlterm\*(C'\fR, which is a very user friendly, lean and clean |
| 170 |
terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely |
| 171 |
because the author couldn't get \f(CW\*(C`mlterm\*(C'\fR to use one font for latin1 and |
| 172 |
another for japanese. |
| 173 |
.PP |
| 174 |
Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to |
| 175 |
display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other |
| 176 |
programs force onto its users never made sense to me: You should be able |
| 177 |
to choose any font for any script freely. |
| 178 |
.PP |
| 179 |
Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than |
| 180 |
its predecessor, supports things such as \s-1XFT\s0 and \s-1ISO\s0 14755 that are handy |
| 181 |
in i18n\-environments, is faster, and has a lot bugs less than the original |
| 182 |
rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements. |
| 183 |
.PP |
| 184 |
It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean |
| 185 |
and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode |
| 186 |
without most of its features to get a lean binary. It also comes with |
| 187 |
a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows |
| 188 |
from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and |
| 189 |
drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and |
| 190 |
@@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) (client). |
| 191 |
.PP |
| 192 |
It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have |
| 193 |
been extended) more accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical |
| 194 |
reference documentation (escape sequences etc.). |

.IX Header "OPTIONS" |
| 197 |
The \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR options (mostly a subset of \fIxterm\fR's) are listed |
| 198 |
below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be |
| 199 |
eliminated or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and |
| 200 |
defaults listed may not accurately reflect the version installed on |
| 201 |
your system. `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-h' gives a list of major compile-time options on |
| 202 |
the \fIOptions\fR line. Option descriptions may be prefixed with which |
| 203 |
compile option each is dependent upon. e.g. `Compile \fI\s-1XIM\s0\fR:' requires |
| 204 |
\&\fI\s-1XIM\s0\fR on the \fIOptions\fR line. Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-help' gives a list of all |
| 205 |
command-line options compiled into your version. |
| 206 |
.PP |
| 207 |
Note that \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR permits the resource name to be used as a |
| 208 |
long-option (\-\-/++ option) so the potential command-line options are |
| 209 |
far greater than those listed. For example: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-\-loginShell \-\-color1 |

Orange'. |

Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window, |

which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |

.Sp |
| 552 |
Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
| 553 |
shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
| 554 |
quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |

create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |

.Sp |

The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |

.Sp |
| 559 |
It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
| 560 |
descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
| 561 |
can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |

| 563 |
not. |

| 566 |
used (a longer example is in \fIdoc/embed\fR): |
| 567 |
.Sp |

.IP "\fB\-pty\-fd\fR \fIfile descriptor\fR" 4 |

| 577 |
Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ \s-1NOT\s0 to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
| 578 |
pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is |
| 579 |
useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
| 580 |
without having to run a program within it. |
| 581 |
.Sp |
| 582 |
If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |

| 584 |
yourself if you want that. |
| 585 |
.Sp |
| 586 |
As an extremely special case, specifying \f(CW\*(C`\-1\*(C'\fR will completely suppress |

pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some |
| 588 |
perl extension that manages the terminal. |

.IP "\fBfont:\fR \fIfontlist\fR" 4 |

Select the fonts to be used. This is a comma separated list of font names |

that are checked in order when trying to find glyphs for characters. The |

font list is always appended to it; option \fB\-fn\fR. |

| 857 |
the iso8859\-1 version of the second font), which is the base font (because |
| 858 |
it is named first) and thus defines the character cell grid to be 9 pixels |
| 859 |
wide and 15 pixels high. |
| 860 |
.Sp |

The second font is just used to add additional unicode characters not in |
| 862 |
the base font, likewise the third, which is unfortunately non-bold, but |
| 863 |
the bold version of the font does contain fewer characters, so this is a |
| 864 |
useful supplement. |
| 865 |
.Sp |
| 866 |
The third font is an Xft font with aliasing turned off, and the characters |
| 867 |
are limited to the \fB\s-1JIS\s0 0208\fR codeset (i.e. japanese kanji). The font |
| 868 |
contains other characters, but we are not interested in them. |

Enables \*(L"insecure\*(R" mode. Rxvt-unicode offers some escape sequences that |

.Sp |
| 1161 |
The \fBNumLock\fR, \fBMeta\fR and \fBISOLevel3\fR modifiers are usually aliased to |
| 1162 |
whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or \s-1ISO\s0 Level3 Shift/AltGr |
| 1163 |
keys are being mapped. \fBAppKeypad\fR is a synthetic modifier mapped to the |

current application keymap mode state. |

.Sp |

The spellings of \fIkey\fR can be obtained by using \fBxev\fR(1) command or |

searching keysym macros from \fB/usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h\fR and |
| 1168 |
omitting the prefix \fB\s-1XK_\s0\fR. Alternatively you can specify \fIkey\fR by its hex |
| 1169 |
keysym value (\fB0x0000 \- 0xFFFF\fR). Note that the lookup of \fIsym\fRs is not |
| 1170 |
performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured. |

\&\fIstring\fR may contain escape values (\f(CW\*(C`\en\*(C'\fR: newline, \f(CW\*(C`\e000\*(C'\fR: octal |

.Sp |
| 1175 |
You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a \fIstring\fR |
| 1176 |
with pattern \fBlist/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX\fR, where the delimiter `/' |
| 1177 |
should be a character not used by the strings. |

Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: |

.Vb 3 |

If \fIstring\fR takes the form of \f(CW\*(C`command:STRING\*(C'\fR, the specified \fB\s-1STRING\s0\fR |
| 1194 |
is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |

example the following means "change the current locale to \f(CW\*(C`zh_CN.GBK\*(C'\fR |
| 1196 |
when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |

.Sp |

.Ve |

| 1202 |
If \fIstring\fR takes the form \f(CW\*(C`perl:STRING\*(C'\fR, then the specified \fB\s-1STRING\s0\fR |
| 1203 |
is passed to the \f(CW\*(C`on_user_command\*(C'\fR perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@\fIperl\fR\|(3) |
| 1204 |
manpage. For example, the \fIselection\fR extension (activated via |
| 1205 |
\&\f(CW\*(C`@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-pe selection\*(C'\fR) listens for \f(CW\*(C`selection:rot13\*(C'\fR events: |

Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
| 1212 |
will match if \fIat least\fR the specified identifiers are being set, and |
| 1213 |
no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
| 1214 |
means that defining a key map for \f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fR will automatically provide |
| 1215 |
definitions for \f(CW\*(C`Meta\-a\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`Shift\-a\*(C'\fR and so on, unless some of those are defined |
| 1216 |
mappings themselves. |
| 1217 |
.Sp |
| 1218 |
Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
| 1219 |
if you overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`Insert\*(C'\fR key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |
| 1220 |
\&\f(CW\*(C`Shift\-Insert\*(C'\fR mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke \*(L"holes\*(R" into the |
| 1221 |
user-defined keymap using the \f(CW\*(C`builtin:\*(C'\fR replacement: |
| 1222 |
.Sp |

.Vb 2 |
| 1224 |
\& URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
| 1225 |
\& URxvt.keysym.S\-Insert: builtin: |
| 1226 |
.Ve |
| 1227 |
.Sp |
| 1228 |
The first line defines a mapping for \f(CW\*(C`Insert\*(C'\fR and \fIany\fR combination |
| 1229 |
of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
| 1230 |
\&\f(CW\*(C`Shift\-Insert\*(C'\fR. |
| 1231 |
.Sp |
| 1232 |
The following example will map Control\-Meta\-1 and Control\-Meta\-2 to |
| 1233 |
the fonts \f(CW\*(C`suxuseuro\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`9x15bold\*(C'\fR, so you can have some limited |
| 1234 |
font-switching at runtime: |

Extension names can be prefixed with a \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR sign to prohibit using |

by default, or specified via the \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR resource. For |

Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets |

searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta\-s). Mentioning the same extension |

multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to |

Start by pressing and holding both \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR, then enter |

hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing \f(CW\*(C`Control\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Shift\*(C'\fR will |

commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down |

If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |

.PP |

You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in |

brackets, i.e. \f(CW\*(C`[percent]\*(C'\fR, where \f(CW\*(C`percent\*(C'\fR is a decimal percentage |
| 1525 |
(0\-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where \f(CW0\fR is completely |
| 1526 |
transparent and \f(CW100\fR is completely opaque. For example, \f(CW\*(C`[50]red\*(C'\fR is a |
| 1527 |
half-transparent red, while \f(CW\*(C`[95]#00ff00\*(C'\fR is an almost opaque green. This |
| 1528 |
is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with |
| 1529 |
all ways to specify a colour. |
| 1530 |
.PP |
| 1531 |
For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports |
| 1532 |
\&\f(CW\*(C`rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa\*(C'\fR (exactly four hex digits/component) colour |
| 1533 |
specifications, where the additional \f(CW\*(C`aaaa\*(C'\fR component specifies opacity |
| 1534 |
(alpha) values. The minimum value of \f(CW0000\fR is completely transparent, |
| 1535 |
while \f(CW\*(C`ffff\*(C'\fR is completely opaque). The two example colours from |
| 1536 |
earlier could also be specified as \f(CW\*(C`rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000\*(C'\fR and |
| 1537 |
\&\f(CW\*(C`rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332\*(C'\fR. |

You probably need to specify \fB\*(L"\-depth 32\*(R"\fR, too, to force a visual with |
