447 | =item B<-embed> I<windowid> |
|
|
448 | |
|
|
449 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window, |
|
|
450 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
451 | |
|
|
452 | Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
453 | shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
|
|
454 | quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
455 | create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
|
|
456 | |
|
|
457 | The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
|
|
458 | |
|
|
459 | It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
|
|
460 | descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
|
|
461 | can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
462 | terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or |
|
|
463 | not. |
|
|
464 | |
|
|
465 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
466 | used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>): |
|
|
467 | |
|
|
468 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
469 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
470 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
471 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
472 | }); |
|
|
473 | |
|
|
474 | =item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor> |
|
|
475 | |
|
|
476 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
|
|
477 | pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is |
|
|
478 | useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
479 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
480 | |
|
|
481 | If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
|
|
482 | entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
483 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
484 | |
|
|
485 | As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress |
|
|
486 | pty/tty operations. |
|
|
487 | |
|
|
488 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |
|
|
489 | longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>): |
|
|
490 | |
|
|
491 | use IO::Pty; |

496 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&"; |
|
|
497 | close $pty; |
|
|
498 | |
|
|
499 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|
500 | my $slave = $pty->slave; |
|

1116 | If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
1117 | is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) |
|
|
1118 | manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via |

1123 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
|
|
1124 | will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
|
|
1125 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
|
|
1126 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
|
|
1127 | definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
|
|
1128 | mappings themselves. |
|
|
1129 | |
|
|
1130 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
1131 | if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |
|
|
1132 | C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the |
|
|
1133 | user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: |
|
|
1134 | |
|
|
1135 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
1136 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
1137 | |
|
|
1138 | The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination |
|
|
1139 | of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
|
|
1140 | C<Shift-Insert>. |

|
|
1161 | |
|
|
1162 | Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using |
|
|
1163 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded |
|
|
1164 | by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For |
|
|
1165 | example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except |
|
|
1166 | C<selection>. |
|
|
1167 | |
|
|
1168 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets |
|
|
1169 | (e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for |
|
|
1170 | searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension |
|
|
1171 | multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to |
|
|
1172 | the extension. |
|
|
1173 | |
|
|
1174 | Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |
|
|
1175 | necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. |

1440 | (recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications, |
|
|
1441 | in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component |
|
|
1442 | specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely |
|
|
1443 | transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where |
|
|
1444 | C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of |
|
|
1445 | the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy |
|
|
1446 | opaque. |
