|
|
459 | |
|
|
460 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window, |
|
|
461 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
462 | |
|
|
463 | Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
464 | shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
|
|
465 | quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
466 | create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
|
|
467 | |
|
|
468 | The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
|
|
469 | |
|
|
470 | It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
|
|
471 | descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
|
|
472 | can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
473 | terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or |
|
|
474 | not. |
|
|
475 | |
|
|
476 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
477 | used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>): |
|
|
478 | |
|
|
479 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
480 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
481 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
482 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
483 | }); |
|
|
484 | |
|
|
485 | =item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor> |
|
|
486 | |
|
|
487 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
|
|
488 | pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is |
|
|
489 | useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
490 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
491 | |
|
|
492 | If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
|
|
493 | entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
494 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
495 | |
|
|
496 | As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress |
|
|
497 | pty/tty operations. |
|
|
498 | |
|
|
499 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |
|
|
500 | longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>): |
|
|
501 | |
|
|
502 | use IO::Pty; |

|
|
507 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&"; |
|
|
508 | close $pty; |
|
|
509 | |
|
|
510 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|
511 | my $slave = $pty->slave; |
|
|
512 | while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" } |

1125 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
|
|
1126 | will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
|
|
1127 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
|
|
1128 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |

|
|
1163 | |
|
|
1164 | Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using |
|
|
1165 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded |
|
|
1166 | by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For |
|
|
1167 | example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except |
|
|
1168 | C<selection>. |
|
|
1169 | |
|
|
1170 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets |
|
|
1171 | (e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for |
|
|
1172 | searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension |
|
|
1173 | multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to |
|
|
1174 | the extension. |
|
|
1175 | |
|
|
1176 | Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |

|
|
1444 | specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely |
|
|
1445 | transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where |
|
|
1446 | C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of |

1447 | the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy |
