444 | |
|

445 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window, |
|
|
446 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
447 | |
|
|
448 | Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
449 | shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
|
|
450 | quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
451 | create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
|
|
452 | |
|
|
453 | The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
|
|
454 | |
|
|
455 | It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
|
|
456 | descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
|
|
457 | can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
458 | terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or |
|
|
459 | not. |
|
|
460 | |
|
|
461 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
462 | used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>): |
|
|
463 | |
|
|
464 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
465 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
466 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
467 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
468 | }); |
|
|
469 | |
|
|
470 | =item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor> |
|
|
471 | |
|
|
472 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
|
|
473 | pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is |
|
|
474 | useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
475 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
476 | |
|
|
477 | If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
|
|
478 | entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
479 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
480 | |
|
|
481 | As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress |
|
|
482 | pty/tty operations. |
|
|
483 | |
|
|
484 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |
|
|
485 | longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>): |
|
|
486 | |
|
|
487 | use IO::Pty; |

|
|
493 | close $pty; |
|
|
494 | |
|
|
495 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|

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

361 | resources using X11 tools like B<xset>. Many distribution do also load |

|
|
1056 | |

|
1057 | The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or |

1058 | searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and |

1070 | Please note that you need to double the C<\> in resource files, as |

|
1071 | Xlib itself does its own de-escaping (you can use C<\033> instead of |

|
|
1073 | processing). |
|
|
1074 | |
|
|
1075 | You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
|
|
1076 | with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' |
|
|
1077 | should be a character not used by the strings. |
|
|
1078 | |
|
|
1079 | Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: |
|
|
1080 | |
|
|
1081 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> |
|
|
1082 | |
|
|
1083 | The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: |
|
|
1084 | |
|
|
1085 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> |

|
|
1088 | |
|
|
1089 | If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
1090 | is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |
|
|
1091 | example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> |
|
|
1092 | when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |
|
|
1093 | |
|
|
1094 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 |
|
|
1095 | |
|
|
1096 | If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
1097 | is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) |
|
|
1098 | manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via |
|
|
1099 | C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events: |
|
|
1100 | |
|
|
1101 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 |
|
|
1102 | |
|
|
1103 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
|
|
1104 | will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
|
|
1105 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
|
|
1106 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
|
|
1107 | definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
|
|
1108 | mappings themselves. |
|
|
1109 | |
|
|
1110 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
1111 | if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |
|
|
1112 | C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the |
|
|
1113 | user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: |
|
|
1114 | |
|
|
1115 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
1116 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
1117 | |
|
|
1118 | The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination |
|
|
1119 | of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
|
|
1120 | C<Shift-Insert>. |
|
|
1121 | |
|
|
1122 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
|
|
1123 | the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
|
|
1124 | font-switching at runtime: |
|
|
1125 | |
|
|
1126 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
|
|
1127 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
|
|
1128 | |
|
|
1129 | Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more |
|
|

1139 | Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: C<default>) to |
|
|
1140 | use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>. |
|
|
1141 | |
|
|
1142 | Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using |
|
|
1143 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded |
|
|
1144 | by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For |
|
|
1145 | example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except |
|
|
1146 | C<selection>. |
|
|
1147 | |
|
|
1148 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets |
|
|
1149 | (e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for |
|
|
1150 | searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension |
|
|
1151 | multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to |
|
|
1152 | the extension. |
|
|
1153 | |
|
|
1154 | Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |
|
|
1155 | necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. |

1156 | |

|
1157 | If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl |
|

1412 | =head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT |
|
|
1413 | |
|
|
1414 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |
|
|
1415 | their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> |
|
|
1416 | (recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications, |
|
|
1417 | in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component |
|
|
1418 | specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely |
|
|
1419 | transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where |
|
|
1420 | C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of |
|
|
1421 | the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy |
|
|
1422 | opaque. |
|
|
1423 | |
|
|
1424 | You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that |
|
|
1425 | your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting |
|
|
1426 | ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
|
|
1427 | |
|
|
1428 | For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red |
|
|
1429 | background, and an almost opaque pink foreground: |
|
|
