		27	=head1 RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT
		28
		29	Unlike the original rxvt, B<rxvt-unicode> stores all text in Unicode
		30	internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
		31	world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
		32	especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
		33	like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
		34	like tibetan or devanagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
		35	scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
		36	fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are right-to-left scripts, such
		37	as hebrew: B<rxvt-unicode> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms
		38	belong in the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things --
		39	such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might
		40	change.
		41
		42	If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let
		43	me recommend C<mlterm>, which is a very user friendly, lean and clean
		44	terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
		45	because the author couldn't get C<mlterm> to use one font for latin1 and
		46	another for japanese.
		47
		48	Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
		49	display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other
		50	programs force onto its users never made sense to me: You should be able
		51	to choose any font for any script freely.
		52
		53	Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than
		54	its predecessor, supports things such as XFT and ISO 14755 that are handy
		55	in i18n-environments, is faster, and has a lot bugs less than the original
		56	rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements.
		57
		58	It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean
		59	and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode
		60	without most of its features to get a lean binary. It also comes with
		61	a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows
		62	from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and
		63	drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and
		64	@@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) (client).
		65
		66	It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have
		67	been extended) more accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical
		68	reference documentation (escape sequences etc.).

		493	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		494	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it

		496	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		497
		498	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		499
		500	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		501	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		502	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		503	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		504	not.
		505
		506	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		507	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		508
		509	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		510	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		511	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		516
		517	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		518	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		519	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		520	without having to run a program within it.
		521
		522	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		523	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		524	yourself if you want that.
		525
		526	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		527	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		528	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		529
		530	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		531	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		532
		533	use IO::Pty;
		534	use Fcntl;
		535

702	KEYSYM_RESOURCE.	1145	The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be
		1146	any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>,
		1147	B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>,
		1148	and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>, B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>,
		1149	B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1150
		1151	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1152	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1153	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1154	current application keymap mode state.
		1155
		1156	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		1157	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
		1158	omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
		1159	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		1160	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1161
		1162	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
		1163	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
		1164
		1165	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1166	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1167	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1168
		1169	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1170
		1171	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
		1172
		1173	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1174
		1175	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a>
		1176	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<b>
		1177	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c>
		1178
		1179	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1180	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1181	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1182	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1183
		1184	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1185
		1186	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1187	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1188	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1189	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1190
		1191	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1192
		1193	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1194	will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1195	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1196	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1197	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1198	mappings themselves.
		1199
		1200	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1201	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1202	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1203	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1204
		1205	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1206	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1207
		1208	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1209	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1210	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1211
		1212	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1213	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1214	font-switching at runtime:
		1215
		1216	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1217	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1218
		1219	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1220	info):
		1221
		1222	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1233	them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
		1234	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1235	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1236	C<selection>.
		1237
		1238	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1239	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for

		1387
		1388	=item * 5.1: Basic method
		1389
		1390	This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode.
		1391
		1392	Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter
		1393	hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will
		1394	commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
		1395	C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
		1396	C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new
		1397	one.
		1398
		1399	As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail
		1400	address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail
		1401	address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily
		1402	by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>,
		1403	followed by releasing the modifier keys.
		1404
		1405	=item * 5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method
		1406
		1407	This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of
		1408	your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding.
		1409
		1410	Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing
		1411	them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not
		1412	invoke its usual function but instead will insert the corresponding
		1413	keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been
		1414	released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for
		1415	C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a
		1416	reverse tab (Shift-Tab).
		1417
		1418	=item * 5.3: Screen-selection entry method
		1419
		1420	While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection
		1421	mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map.
		1422
		1423	=item * 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input
		1424
		1425	This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with
		1426	characters already displayed.
		1427
		1428	You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then
		1429	pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode
		1430	hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
		1431	pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>.
		1432
		1433	In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
		1434	character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with
		1435	combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will
		1436	always be drawn using the built-in support font.

		1523	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1524	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1525	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1526	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1527	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1528	all ways to specify a colour.
		1529
		1530	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1531	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1532	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1533	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1534	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1535	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1536	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1537
		1538	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1539	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1540	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1541	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1542
		1543	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1544	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1545
		1546	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1547
		1548	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1549	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1550	transparency of course).
		1551
		1552	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1553	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1554	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1555	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1556	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1557	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1558
		1559	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1560	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1561	extension.
