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

		506	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		507	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		508	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		509	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		510
		511	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		512
		513	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		514	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		515	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		516	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		517	not.
		518
		519	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		520	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		521
		522	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		523	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {

		529
		530	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		531	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		532	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		533	without having to run a program within it.
		534
		535	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		536	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		537	yourself if you want that.
		538
		539	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		540	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		541	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		542
		543	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a

		1153	B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>,
		1154	and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>, B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>,
		1155	B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1156
		1157	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1158	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1159	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1160	current application keymap mode state.
		1161
		1162	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		1163	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
		1164	omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
		1165	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		1166	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1167
		1168	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
		1169	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details.
		1170
		1171	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1172	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1173	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1174
		1175	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1176
		1177	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
		1178
		1179	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1180
		1181	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		1182	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		1183	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		1184
		1185	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1186	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1187	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1188	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1189
		1190	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1191
		1192	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1193	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1194	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1195	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1196
		1197	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1198
		1199	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1200	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1201	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1202	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1203	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1204	mappings themselves.
		1205
		1206	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1207	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1208	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1209	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1210
		1211	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1212	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1213
		1214	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1215	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1216	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1217
		1218	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1219	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1220	font-switching at runtime:
		1221
		1222	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1223	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1224
		1225	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1226	info):
		1227
		1228	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1240	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1241	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1242	C<selection>.
		1243
		1244	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1245	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for

		1389
		1390	=item * 5.1: Basic method
		1391
		1392	This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode.
		1393
		1394	Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter
		1395	hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will
		1396	commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
		1397	C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
		1398	C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new
		1399	one.
		1400
		1401	As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail
		1402	address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail
		1403	address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily
		1404	by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>,
		1405	followed by releasing the modifier keys.
		1406
		1407	=item * 5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method
		1408
		1409	This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of
		1410	your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding.
		1411
		1412	Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing
		1413	them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not
		1414	invoke its usual function but instead will insert the corresponding
		1415	keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been
		1416	released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for
		1417	C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a
		1418	reverse tab (Shift-Tab).
		1419
		1420	=item * 5.3: Screen-selection entry method
		1421
		1422	While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection
		1423	mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map.
		1424
		1425	=item * 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input
		1426
		1427	This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with
		1428	characters already displayed.
		1429
		1430	You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then
		1431	pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode
		1432	hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
		1433	pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>.
		1434
		1435	In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
		1436	character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with
		1437	combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will
		1438	always be drawn using the built-in support font.

		1511
		1512	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1513	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1514
		1515	You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
		1516	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1517	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where C<0> is completely
		1518	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1519	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1520	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1521	all ways to specify a colour.
		1522
		1523	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1524	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1525	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1526	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1527	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1528	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1529	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1530
		1531	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1532	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1533	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1534	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1535
		1536	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1537	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1538
		1539	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1540
		1541	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1542	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1543	transparency of course).
		1544
		1545	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1546	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1547	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1548	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1549	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1550	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1551
		1552	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1553	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1554	extension.
