root |
1.3 |
B<rxvt-unicode>, version B<@@RXVT_VERSION@@>, is a colour vt102 terminal |
12 |
root |
1.1 |
emulator intended as an I<xterm>(1) replacement for users who do not |
13 |
|
|
require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style |
14 |
|
|
configurability. As a result, B<rxvt-unicode> uses much less swap space -- |
15 |
|
|
a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions. |

=head1 RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT |
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
|
|
Unlike the original rxvt, B<rxvt-unicode> stores all text in Unicode |
25 |
|
|
internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the |
26 |
|
|
world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult, |
27 |
|
|
especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts |
28 |
|
|
like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules, |
29 |
|
|
like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these |
30 |
|
|
scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work |
31 |
|
|
fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are left-to-right scripts, such |
32 |
|
|
as hebrew: B<rxvt-unicode> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms |
33 |
|
|
belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things -- |
34 |
root |
1.30 |
such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might |
35 |
root |
1.12 |
change. |
36 |
root |
1.5 |
|
37 |
root |
1.12 |
If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let |
38 |
|
|
me recommend C<mlterm>, which is a very userfriendly, lean and clean |
39 |
|
|
terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely |
40 |
|
|
because the author couldn't get C<mlterm> to use one font for latin1 and |
41 |
|
|
another for japanese. |
42 |
|
|
|
43 |
|
|
Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to |
44 |
|
|
display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other |
45 |
|
|
programs force onto it's users never made sense to me: You should be able |
46 |
|
|
to choose any font for any script freely. |
47 |
root |
1.5 |
|
48 |
|
|
Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than |
49 |
|
|
it's predecessor, supports things such as XFT and ISO 14755 that are handy |
50 |
|
|
in i18n-environments, is faster, and has a lot less bugs than the original |
51 |
|
|
rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements. |
52 |
|
|
|
53 |
|
|
It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean |
54 |
|
|
and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode |
55 |
|
|
without most of it's features to get a lean binary. It also comes with |
56 |
|
|
a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows |
57 |
|
|
from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and |
58 |
|
|
drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and |
59 |
|
|
@@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) (client). |
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
|
|
It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have |
62 |
|
|
been extended) easier accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical |
63 |

1.30 |
reference documentation (escape sequences etc.). |

67 |
root |
1.2 |
The B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> options (mostly a subset of I<xterm>'s) are listed |
68 |
root |
1.1 |
below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be |
69 |
|
|
eliminated or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and |
70 |
|
|
defaults listed may not accurately reflect the version installed on |
71 |
root |
1.3 |
your system. `@@RXVT_NAME@@ -h' gives a list of major compile-time options on |
72 |
root |
1.1 |
the I<Options> line. Option descriptions may be prefixed with which |
73 |
|
|
compile option each is dependent upon. e.g. `Compile I<XIM>:' requires |
74 |
root |
1.3 |
I<XIM> on the I<Options> line. Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ -help' gives a list of all |
75 |
root |
1.1 |
command-line options compiled into your version. |
76 |
|
|
|
77 |
root |
1.2 |
Note that B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> permits the resource name to be used as a |
78 |
root |
1.1 |
long-option (--/++ option) so the potential command-line options are |
79 |
root |
1.3 |
far greater than those listed. For example: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ --loginShell --color1 |
80 |
root |
1.1 |
Orange'. |

Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ --help' gives a list of all resources (long |

There are two different methods that @@RXVT_NAME@@ can use to get the |
358 |
root |
1.1 |
Xresource data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal |
359 |
|
|
Xresources reader (B<~/.Xdefaults>). For the first method (ie. |
360 |
root |
1.2 |
B<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -h> lists B<XGetDefaults>), you can set and change the |
361 |
root |
1.1 |
resources using X11 tools like B<xset>. Many distribution do also load |
362 |
|
|
settings from the B<~/.Xresources> file when X starts. |
363 |
|
|
|
364 |
root |
1.2 |
If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. B<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -h> |
365 |
|
|
lists B<.Xdefaults>) then B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> accepts application defaults |
366 |
root |
1.1 |
set in XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually |
367 |
|
|
B</usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt>) and resources set in |
368 |
|
|
B<~/.Xdefaults>, or B<~/.Xresources> if B<~/.Xdefaults> does not exist. |
369 |
root |
1.2 |
Note that when reading X resources, B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> recognizes two |
370 |
root |
1.1 |
class names: B<XTerm> and B<URxvt>. The class name B<Rxvt> allows |
371 |
root |
1.2 |
resources common to both B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> and the original I<rxvt> to be |
372 |
root |
1.1 |
easily configured, while the class name B<URxvt> allows resources |
373 |
root |
1.2 |
unique to B<@@RXVT_NAME@@>, notably colours and key-handling, to be |
374 |
|
|
shared between different B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> configurations. If no |
375 |
root |
1.1 |
resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used. Command-line |
376 |
|
|
arguments can be used to override resource settings. The following |

specifies five fonts to be used. The first one is C<9x15bold> (actually |
538 |
|
|
the iso8859-1 version of the second font), which is the base font (because |
539 |
|
|
it is named first) and thus defines the character cell grid to be 9 pixels |
540 |
|
|
wide and 15 pixels high. |
541 |
|
|
|
542 |
|
|
the second font is just used to add additional unicode characters not in |
543 |
|
|
the base font, likewise the third, which is unfortunately non-bold, but |
544 |
|
|
the bold version of the font does contain less characters, so this is a |
545 |
|
|
useful supplement. |
546 |
|
|
|
547 |
|
|
The third font is an Xft font with aliasing turned off, and the characters |
548 |
|
|
are limited to the B<JIS 0208> codeset (i.e. japanese kanji). The font |
549 |
|
|
contains other characters, but we are not interested in them. |
550 |

|
|
(Alt) key while performing the desired mouse action. |
829 |
|

830 |
|
|
If mouse reporting mode is active, the normal scrollbar actions are |
831 |
|
|
disabled -- on the assumption that we are using a fullscreen |
832 |
|
|
application. Instead, pressing Button1 and Button3 sends B<ESC[6~> |
833 |
|
|
(Next) and B<ESC[5~> (Prior), respectively. Similarly, clicking on the |
834 |
|

up and down arrows sends B<ESC[A> (Up) and B<ESC[B> (Down), |

respectively. |

Changing fonts (or font sizes, respectively) via the keypad is not yet |

supported in rxvt-unicode. Bug me if you need this. |
867 |
|
|
|
868 |

You can, however, switch fonts at runtime using escape sequences (and |
869 |
|

therefore using the menubar), e.g.: |
870 |
|
|
|
871 |
|
|
printf '\e]701;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
872 |

rxvt-unicode will automatically re-apply these fonts to the output so far. |

and character codes using the keyboard. It consists of 4 parts. The |

first part is available rxvt-unicode has been compiled with |

=item 5.1: Basic method |
886 |
|
|
|
887 |
|
|
This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode. |
888 |
root |
1.2 |
|
889 |
root |
1.12 |
Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter |
890 |
|
|
hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will |
891 |
|
|
commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down |
892 |
|
|
C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing |
893 |
|
|
C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new |
894 |
|
|
one. |
895 |
|
|
|
896 |
|
|
As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail |
897 |
|
|
address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail |
898 |
|
|
address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily |
899 |
|
|
by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>, |
900 |
|
|
followed by releasing the modifier keys. |

|
|

|
=item 5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method |
903 |
|
|
|
904 |
|
|
This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of |
905 |
|
|
your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding. |
906 |
|
|
|
907 |
|
|
Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing |
908 |
|
|
them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not |
909 |
|
|
invoke it's usual function but instead will insert the corresponding |
910 |
|
|
keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been |
911 |
|
|
released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for |
912 |
root |
1.30 |
C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a |
913 |
root |
1.12 |
reverse tab (Shift-Tab). |

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

mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map. |

920 |
|
|
=item 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input |
921 |
|
|

922 |
|

This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with |
923 |
|
|
characters already displayed. |
924 |
|
|
|
925 |
|
|
You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then |
926 |
|
|
pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode |
927 |
|
|
hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the |
928 |
|
|
pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>. |
929 |
|
|
|
930 |
root |
1.22 |
In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this |
931 |
|
|
character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with |
932 |
|
|
combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will |
933 |
|
|
always be drawn using the built-in support font. |

It is also possible to specify the colour values of B<foreground>, |
978 |

B<background>, B<cursorColor>, B<cursorColor2>, B<colorBD>, B<colorUL> as |
979 |
|

a number 0-15, as a convenient shorthand to reference the colour name of |

color0-color15. |

Note that B<-rv> (B<"reverseVideo: True">) simulates reverse video by |

always swapping the foreground/background colours. This is in contrast to |
984 |
|
|
I<xterm>(1) where the colours are only swapped if they have not otherwise |

been specified. For example, |
