|
|
498 | |
|
|
499 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window, |
|
|
500 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
501 | |
|
|
502 | Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
503 | shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
|
|
504 | quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
505 | create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
|
|
506 | |
|
|
507 | The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
|
|
508 | |
|
|
509 | It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
|
|
510 | descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
|
|
511 | can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
512 | terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or |
|
|
513 | not. |
|
|
514 | |
|
|
515 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
516 | used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>): |
|
|
517 | |
|
|
518 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
519 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
520 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
521 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
522 | }); |
|
|
523 | |
|
|
524 | =item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor> |
|
|
525 | |
|
|
526 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
|
|
527 | pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is |
|
|
528 | useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
529 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
530 | |
|
|
531 | If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
|
|
532 | entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
533 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
534 | |
|
|
535 | As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress |
|
|
536 | pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some |
|
|
537 | perl extension that manages the terminal. |
|
|
538 | |
|
|
539 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |
|
|
540 | longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>): |
|
|
541 | |
|
|
542 | use IO::Pty; |

|
|
547 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&"; |
|
|
548 | close $pty; |
|
|
549 | |
|
|
550 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|
551 | my $slave = $pty->slave; |

1190 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
|
|
1191 | will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
|
|
1192 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
|
|
1193 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
|
|
1194 | definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
|
|
1195 | mappings themselves. |
|
|
1196 | |
|
|
1197 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |

1198 | if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |

|
1199 | C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the |

1200 | user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: |
|
|
1201 | |
|
|

|
|
1203 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
1204 | |
|
|
1205 | The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination |

|
|
1227 | use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>. |
|
|
1228 | |
|
|
1229 | Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using |
|
|
1230 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded |
|
|
1231 | by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For |
|
|
1232 | example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except |
|
|
1233 | C<selection>. |
|
|
1234 | |
|
|
1235 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets |
|
|
1236 | (e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for |
|
|
1237 | searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension |
|
|
1238 | multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to |
|
|
1239 | the extension. |
|
|
1240 | |
|
|
1241 | Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |
|
|
1242 | necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. |
|
|
1243 | |
|
|
1244 | If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl |
|
|
1245 | interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that |

1501 | =head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT |
|
|
1502 | |
|
|
1503 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |
|
|
1504 | their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management: |
|
|
1505 | |
|
|
1506 | You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in |
|
|
1507 | brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage |
|
|
1508 | (0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where C<0> is completely |
|
|
1509 | transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a |
|
|
1510 | half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This |
|
|
1511 | is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with |
|
|
1512 | all ways to specify a colour. |
|
|
1513 | |
|
|
1514 | For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports |
|
|
1515 | C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour |
|
|
1516 | specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity |
|
|
1517 | (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent, |
|
|
1518 | while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from |
|
|
1519 | earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and |
|
|
1520 | C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>. |
|
|
1521 | |
|
|
1522 | You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with |
|
|
1523 | alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel |
|
|
1524 | layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and |
|
|
1525 | rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
|
|
1526 | |
|
|
1527 | For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black |
|
|
1528 | background, and an almost opaque pink foreground: |
|
|
1529 | |
|
|
1530 | @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink" |
|
|
1531 | |
|
|
1532 | When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the |
|
|
1533 | alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as |
|
|
1534 | transparency of course). |
|
|
1535 | |
|
|
1536 | When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background |
|
|
1537 | colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the |
|
|
1538 | background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while |
|
|
1539 | other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background |
|
|
1540 | image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or |
|
|
1541 | fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION. |
|
|
1542 | |
|
|
1543 | Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result |
|
|
1544 | in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER |
|
|
1545 | extension. |
