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

		478
		479	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		480
		481	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file

		486
		487	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be

		501	without having to run a program within it.
		502
		503	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp

		507	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		508	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some

		1105	B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1106
		1107	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1108	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1109	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1110	current application keymap mode state.
		1111
		1112	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		1113	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
		1114	omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
		1115	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		1116	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1117
		1118	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
		1119	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details.
		1120
		1121	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1122	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1123	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1124
		1125	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1126
		1127	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
		1128
		1129	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1130
		1131	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		1132	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		1133	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		1134
		1135	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1136	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1137	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1138	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1139
		1140	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1141
		1142	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1143	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1144	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1145	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1146
		1147	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1148
		1149	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1150	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1151	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1152	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1153	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1154	mappings themselves.
		1155
		1156	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1157	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1158	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1159	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1160
		1161	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1162	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1163
		1164	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1165	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1166	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1167
		1168	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1169	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1170	font-switching at runtime:
		1171
		1172	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1173	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1174
		1175	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more

		1336	first part is available if rxvt-unicode has been compiled with

		1338	with C<--enable-iso14755>.
		1339
		1340	=over 4
		1341
		1342	=item * 5.1: Basic method
		1343
		1344	This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode.
		1345
		1346	Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter
		1347	hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will
		1348	commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
		1349	C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
		1350	C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new
		1351	one.
		1352
		1353	As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail
		1354	address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail
		1355	address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily
		1356	by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>,
		1357	followed by releasing the modifier keys.
		1358
		1359	=item * 5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method
		1360
		1361	This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of
		1362	your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding.
		1363
		1364	Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing
		1365	them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not
		1366	invoke its usual function but instead will insert the corresponding
		1367	keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been
		1368	released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for
		1369	C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a
		1370	reverse tab (Shift-Tab).
		1371
		1372	=item * 5.3: Screen-selection entry method
		1373
		1374	While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection
		1375	mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map.
		1376
		1377	=item * 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input
		1378
		1379	This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with
		1380	characters already displayed.
		1381
		1382	You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then
		1383	pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode
		1384	hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
		1385	pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>.
		1386
		1387	In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
		1388	character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with
		1389	combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will
		1390	always be drawn using the built-in support font.
