|
492 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
493 | |
|
|
494 | Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
495 | shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
|
|
496 | quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
497 | create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
|
|
498 | |
|
|
499 | The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
|
|
500 | |
|
|
501 | It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
|
|
502 | descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
|
|
503 | can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
504 | terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or |
|
|
505 | not. |
|
|
506 | |
|
|
507 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
508 | used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>): |
|
|
509 | |
|
|
510 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
511 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
512 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
513 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
514 | }); |

|
515 | |
|
|
516 | =item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor> |
|
|
517 | |
|
|
518 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
|
|
519 | pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is |
|
|
520 | useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
521 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
522 | |
|
|
523 | If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
|
|
524 | entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
525 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
526 | |
|
|
527 | As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress |
|
|
528 | pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some |
|
|
529 | perl extension that manages the terminal. |
|
|
530 | |
|
|
531 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |
|
|
532 | longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>): |
|

|

540 | close $pty; |
|
|

|
|
542 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|

1190 | The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be |
|
|
1191 | any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, |
|
|
1192 | B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, |
|
|
1193 | and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>, B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, |
|
|
1194 | B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. |
|
|
1195 | |
|
|
1196 | The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to |
|
|
1197 | whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr |
|
|
1198 | keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the |
|
|
1199 | current application keymap mode state. |
|
|
1200 | |
|
|
1201 | The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or |
|
|
1202 | searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and |
|
|
1203 | omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex |
|
|
1204 | keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not |
|
|
1205 | performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured. |
|
|
1206 | |
|
|
1207 | I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal |
|
|
1208 | number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. |
|
|
1209 | |
|
|
1210 | You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by |
|
|
1211 | loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> |
|
|
1212 | with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' |
|
|
1213 | should be a character not used by the strings. |
|
|
1214 | |
|
|
1215 | Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: |
|
|
1216 | |
|
|
1217 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> |
|
|
1218 | |
|
|
1219 | The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: |
|
|
1220 | |
|
|
1221 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a> |
|
|
1222 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<b> |
|
|
1223 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c> |
|
|
1224 | |
|
|
1225 | If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
1226 | is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |
|
|
1227 | example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> |
|
|
1228 | when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |
|
|
1229 | |
|
|
1230 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 |
|
|
1231 | |
|
|
1232 | If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
1233 | is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) |
|
|
1234 | manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via |
|
|
1235 | C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events: |
|
|
1236 | |
|
|
1237 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 |
|
|
1238 | |
|
|
1239 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
|
|
1240 | will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
|
|
1241 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
|
|
1242 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
|
|
1243 | definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
|
|
1244 | mappings themselves. |
|
|
1245 | |
|
|
1246 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
1247 | if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |
|
|
1248 | C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the |
|
|
1249 | user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: |
|
|
1250 | |
|
|
1251 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
1252 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
1253 | |
|
|
1254 | The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination |
|
|
1255 | of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
|
|
1256 | C<Shift-Insert>. |
|
|
1257 | |
|
|
1258 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
|
|
1259 | the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
|
|
1260 | font-switching at runtime: |
|
|
1261 | |
|
|
1262 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
|
|
1263 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
|
|
1264 | |
|
|
1265 | Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more |
|
|
1266 | info): |
|
|
1267 | |
|
|
1268 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t |

|
1278 | Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using |

1279 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded |
|
|
1280 | by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For |
|
|
1281 | example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except |
|
|
1282 | C<selection>. |
|
|
1283 | |
|
|
1284 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets |
|
|
1285 | (e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for |
|
|
1286 | searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension |
|
|
1287 | multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to |
|

1288 | the extension. |
|
|
1289 | |
|

1290 | Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |

1563 | =head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT |
|
|
1564 | |
|
|
1565 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |
|
|
1566 | their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management: |
|
|
1567 | |
|
|
1568 | You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in |
|
|
1569 | brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage |
|
|
1570 | (0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely |
|
|
1571 | transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a |
|
|
1572 | half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This |
|
|
1573 | is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with |
|
|
1574 | all ways to specify a colour. |
|
|
1575 | |
|
|
1576 | For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports |
|
|
1577 | C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour |
|
|
1578 | specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity |
|
|
1579 | (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent, |
|
|
1580 | while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from |
|
|
1581 | earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and |
|
|
1582 | C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>. |
|
|
1583 | |
|
|
1584 | You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with |
|
|
1585 | alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel |
|
|
1586 | layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and |
|
|
1587 | rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
|
|
1588 | |
|
|
1589 | For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black |
|
|
1590 | background, and an almost opaque pink foreground: |
|
|
1591 | |
|
|

|
|
1593 | |
|
|
1594 | When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the |
|
|
1595 | alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as |
|
|
1596 | transparency of course). |
|
|
1597 | |
|
|
1598 | When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background |
|
|
1599 | colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the |
|
|
1600 | background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while |
|
|
1601 | other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background |
|
|
1602 | image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or |
|
|
1603 | fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION. |
|
|
1604 | |
|
|
1605 | Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result |
|

1606 | in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER |

|
|
998 | |
|
|
999 | The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
|
|
1000 | as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises). |
|
|
1001 | |
|
|
1002 | The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can be done |
|
|
1003 | like this: |
|
|
1004 | |
|
|
1005 | infocmp rxvt-unicode >rxvt.unicode.tic |
|
|
1006 | scp rxvt-unicode.tic remotesystem: |
|
|
1007 | ssh remotesystem tic rxvt-unicode.tic |
|
|
1008 | |
|
|
1009 | ... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system, |
|
|
1010 | |
|
|
1011 | If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
|
|
1012 | C<TERM=rxvt> or even C<TERM=xterm>, and live with the small number of |
|
|
1013 | problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
|
|
1014 | colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
|
|
1015 | quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though. |
|
|
1016 | |
|
|
1017 | If you always want to do this you can either recompile rxvt-unicode with |
|
|
1018 | the desired TERM value or use a resource to set it: |
|
|
1019 | |
|
|
1020 | URxvt.termName: rxvt |
|
|
1021 | |
|
|
1022 | =item How can I configure rxvt-unicode so that it looks similar to the original rxvt? |
|
|
1023 | |
|
|
1024 | Felix von Leitner says that these two lines, in your F<.Xdefaults>, will make rxvt-unicode |
|
|
1025 | behave similar to the original rxvt: |
|
|
1026 | |
|
|
1027 | URxvt.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 |
|
|
1028 | URxvt.boldFont: -misc-fixed-bold-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 |

1030 | =item Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding? |
|
|
1031 | |
|
|
1032 | =item Unicode does not seem to work? |
|
|
1033 | |
|
|
1034 | If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but |
|
|
1035 | getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is |
|
|
1036 | subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings. |
|
|
1037 | |
|
|
1038 | Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same C<LC_CTYPE> setting as the |
|
|
1039 | programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the C<C> locale, while the |
|
|
1040 | login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to |
|
|
1041 | sth. else, e.h. C<en_GB.UTF-8>. Needless to say, this is not going to work. |
|
|
1042 | |
|
|
1043 | The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run |
|
|
1044 | into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile. |
|
|
1045 | |
|
|
1046 | printf '\e]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" |
|
|
1047 | |
|
|
1048 | If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a C<LC_CTYPE> specification not |
|
|
1049 | supported on your systems. Some systems have a C<locale> comamnd which |
|
|
1050 | displays this. If it displays sth. like: |
|
|
1051 | |
|
|
1052 | locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
|
|
1053 | |
|
|
1054 | Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
|
|
1055 | |
|
|
1056 | If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then |
|
|
1057 | you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't |
|
|
1058 | support locales :( |

1060 | =item Why do the characters look ugly? |
|
|
1061 | |
|
|
1062 | =item How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts? |
|
|
1063 | |
|
|
1064 | Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is |
|
|
1065 | fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
|
|
1066 | your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want |
|
|
1067 | to display. |
|
|
1068 | |
|
|
1069 | B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |
|
|
1070 | font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
|
|
1071 | bad. Many fonts have totally strange characters that don't resemble the |
|
|
1072 | correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial intelligence |
|
|
1073 | to detetc that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe the font that |
|
|
1074 | the characters it contains indeed look correct. |
|
|
1075 | |
|
|
1076 | In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
|
|
1077 | e.g.: |
|
|
1078 | |
|
|
1079 | @@RXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
|
|
1080 | |
|
|
1081 | When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
|
|
1082 | font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the |
|
|
1083 | next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
|
|
1084 | search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server. |
|
|
1085 | |
|
|
1086 | The only limitation is that all the fonts must not be larger than the base |
|
|
1087 | font, as the base font defines the principial cell size, which must be the |
|
|
1088 | same due to the way terminals work. |
|
|
1089 | |
|
|
1090 | =item Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
|
|
1091 | |
|
|
1092 | This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
|
|
1093 | rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output |
|
|
1094 | is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode |
|
|
1095 | first sees a japanese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
|
|
1096 | it. Subseqzuent japanese characters will take that font. Now, many chinese |
|
|
1097 | characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
|
|
1098 | non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
|
|
1099 | -- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
|
|
1100 | japanese characters that are also chinese. |
|
|
1101 | |
|
|
1102 | The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
|
|
1103 | list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
|
|
1104 | a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
|
|
1105 | first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first. |
|
|
1106 | |
|
|
1107 | In the future it might be possible to switch preferences at runtime (the |
|
|
1108 | internal data structure has no problem with using different fonts for |
|
|
1109 | the same character at the same time, but no interface for this has been |
|
|
1110 | designed yet). |
|
|
1111 | |
|
|
1112 | =item How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much? |
|
|
1113 | |
|
|
1114 | First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminfo |
|
|
1115 | (C<urxvt>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then make sure |
|
|
1116 | you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise rxvt-unicode |
|
|
1117 | might use reverse video to simulate the effect: |
|
|
1118 | |
|
|
1119 | URxvt*colorBD: white |
|
|
1120 | URxvt*colorIT: green |
|
|
1121 | |
|
|
1122 | =item Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that? |
|
|
1123 | |
|
|
1124 | For some unexplainable reason, some programs (i.e. irssi) assume a very |
|
|
1125 | weird colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the |
|
|
1126 | standard 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of |
|
|
1127 | course, to fix these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very |
|
|
1128 | good reasons. |
|
|
1129 | |
|
|
1130 | In the meantime, you can either edit your C<urxvt> terminfo definition to |
|
|
1131 | only claim 8 colour support or use C<TERM=rxvt>, which will fix colours |
|
|
1132 | but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features. |
|
|
1133 | |
|
|
1134 | =item How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |
|
|
1135 | |
|
|
1136 | =item Is there an option to switch encodings? |
|
|
1137 | |
|
|
1138 | Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
|
|
1139 | specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
|
|
1140 | UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O. |
|
|
1141 | |
|
|
1142 | The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
|
|
1143 | the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
|
|
1144 | applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width and |
|
|
1145 | code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>. |
|
|
1146 | |
|
|
1147 | Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All |
|
|
1148 | programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
|
|
1149 | interpretation of characters. |
|
|
1150 | |
|
|
1151 | Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
|
|
1152 | is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
|
|
1153 | |
|
|
1154 | On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable |
|
|
1155 | contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
|
|
1156 | locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>, |
|
|
1157 | C<ja_JP.EUC-JP>, i.e. C<language_country.encoding>, but other forms |
|
|
1158 | (i.e. C<de> or C<german>) are also common. |
|
|
1159 | |
|
|
1160 | Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
|
|
1161 | the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
|
|
1162 | i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the same for rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
1163 | |
|
|
1164 | If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |
|
|
1165 | rxvt-unicode with the correct C<LC_CTYPE> category. |
|
|
1166 | |
|
|
1167 | =item Can I switch locales at runtime? |
|
|
1168 | |
|
|
1169 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which sets |
|
|
1170 | rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>. |
|
|
1171 | |
|
|
1172 | printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
|
|
1173 | |
|
|
1174 | See also the previous question. |
|
|
1175 | |
|
|
1176 | Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in one |
|
|
1177 | locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support UTF-8. For |
|
|
1178 | example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which first switches to a |
|
|
1179 | locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
|
|
1180 | |
|
|
1181 | printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
|
|
1182 | xjdic -js |
|
|
1183 | printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8 |
|
|
1184 | |
|
|
1185 | =item Can I switch the fonts at runtime? |
|
|
1186 | |
|
|
1187 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which has the same |
|
|
1188 | effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately: |
|
|
1189 | |
|
|
1190 | printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
|
|
1191 | |
|
|
1192 | This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
|
|
1193 | japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
|
|
1194 | japanese fonts would only be in your way. |
|
|
1195 | |
|
|
1196 | You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching. |
|
|
1197 | |
|
|
1198 | =item Why do italic characters look as if clipped? |
|
|
1199 | |
|
|
1200 | Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
|
|
1201 | example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font C<xft:Bitstream Vera Sans |
|
|
1202 | Mono> completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround is to enable |
|
|
1203 | freetype autohinting, i.e. like this: |
|
|
1204 | |
|
|
1205 | URxvt*italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
|
|
1206 | URxvt*boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true |
|
|
1207 | |
|
|
1208 | =item My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do? |
|
|
1209 | |
|
|
1210 | You cna specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the |
|
|
1211 | terminal, using the resource C<imlocale>: |
|
|
1212 | |
|
|
1213 | URxvt*imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
|
|
1214 | |
|
|
1215 | Now you can start your terminal with C<LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8> and still |
|
|
1216 | use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able to |
|
|
1217 | input characters outside C<EUC-JP> in a normal way then, as your input |
|
|
1218 | method limits you. |
|
|
1219 | |
|
|
1220 | =item Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that? |
|
|
1221 | |
|
|
1222 | Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for sth. you |
|
|
1223 | don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that |
|
|
1224 | you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design, |
|
|
1225 | when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded |
|
|
1226 | accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters. |
|
|
1227 | |
|
|
1228 | Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger |
|
|
1229 | scrollback buffers: Without C<--enable-unicode3>, rxvt-unicode will use |
|
|
1230 | 6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a |
|
|
1231 | kilobyte per line. A scorllback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full) |
|
|
1232 | use 10 Megabytes of memory. With C<--enable-unicode3> it gets worse, as |
|
|
1233 | rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell. |
|
|
1234 | |
|
|
1235 | =item Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow? |
|
|
1236 | |
|
|
1237 | Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as |
|
|
1238 | it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable |
|
|
1239 | antialiasing (by appending C<:antialiasing=false>), which saves lots of |
|
|
1240 | memory and also speeds up rendering considerably. |
|
|
1241 | |
|
|
1242 | =item Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong? |
|
|
1243 | |
|
|
1244 | Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
|
|
1245 | fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
|
|
1246 | fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has |
|
|
1247 | antialiaisng disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they |
|
|
1248 | look best that way. |
|
|
1249 | |
|
|
1250 | If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually. |
|

1251 | |

1252 | =item Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works. |

1260 | =item What's with this bold/blink stuff? |
|
|
1261 | |
|
|
1262 | If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the |
|
|
1263 | standard foreground colour. |
|
|
1264 | |
|
|
1265 | For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the |
|
|
1266 | text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard |
|
|
1267 | colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be |
|
|
1268 | ignored. |
|
|
1269 | |
|
|
1270 | On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity |
|
|
1271 | foreground/background colors. |
|
|
1272 | |
|
|
1273 | color0-7 are the low-intensity colors. |
|
|
1274 | |
|
|
1275 | color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors. |
|
|
1276 | |
|
|
1277 | =item I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them? |

1278 | |

1303 | =item What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour? |
|
|
1304 | |
|
|
1305 | Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
|
|
1306 | BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
|
|
1307 | question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
|
|
1308 | Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>. |
|
|
1309 | |
|
|
1310 | Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian |
|
|
1311 | policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct |
|
|
1312 | choice :). |
|
|
1313 | |
|
|
1314 | Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value |
|
|
1315 | of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't |
|
|
1316 | started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the |
|
|
1317 | system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will |
|
|
1318 | be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting). |
|
|
1319 | |
|
|
1320 | For starting a new rxvt-unicode: |
|
|
1321 | |
|
|
1322 | # use Backspace = ^H |
|
|
1323 | $ stty erase ^H |
|
|
1324 | $ @@RXVT_NAME@@ |
|
|
1325 | |
|
|
1326 | # use Backspace = ^? |
|
|
1327 | $ stty erase ^? |
|
|
1328 | $ @@RXVT_NAME@@ |
|
|
1329 | |
|
|
1330 | Toggle with "ESC[36h" / "ESC[36l" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7). |
|
|
1331 | |
|
|
1332 | For an existing rxvt-unicode: |
|
|
1333 | |
|
|
1334 | # use Backspace = ^H |
|
|
1335 | $ stty erase ^H |
|
|
1336 | $ echo -n "^[[36h" |
|
|
1337 | |
|
|
1338 | # use Backspace = ^? |
|
|
1339 | $ stty erase ^? |
|
|
1340 | $ echo -n "^[[36l" |
|
|
1341 | |
|
|
1342 | This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |
|
|
1343 | if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |
|
|
1344 | properly reflects that. |
|
|
1345 | |
|
|
1346 | The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem. |
|
|
1347 | To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete |
|
|
1348 | key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute |
|
|
1349 | (ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo. |
|
|
1350 | |
|
|
1351 | Some other Backspace problems: |
|
|
1352 | |
|
|
1353 | some editors use termcap/terminfo, |
|
|
1354 | some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H, |
|
|
1355 | GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help. |
|
|
1356 | |
|
|
1357 | Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner. |
|
|
1358 | |
|
|
1359 | =item I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them? |
|
|
1360 | |
|
|
1361 | There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless |
|
|
1362 | you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can |
|
|
1363 | use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysym |
|
|
1364 | 0xFF00 - 0xFFFF (function, cursor keys, etc). |
|
|
1365 | |
|

1407 | =item I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys. |
|
|
1408 | How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4 |
|
|
1409 | has the following mappings that rxvt-unicode doesn't recognize. |
|
|
1410 | |
|
|
1411 | KP_Insert == Insert |
|
|
1412 | F22 == Print |
|
|
1413 | F27 == Home |
|
|
1414 | F29 == Prior |
|
|
1415 | F33 == End |
|
|
1416 | F35 == Next |
|
|
1417 | |
|
|
1418 | Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accomodate all the various possible keyboard |
|
|
1419 | mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as required for |
|
|
1420 | your particular machine. |

1422 | =item How do I distinguish if I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? |
|
|
1423 | I need this to decide about setting colors etc. |
|
|
1424 | |
|
|
1425 | rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you can |
|
|
1426 | check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, slrn, |
|
|
1427 | Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or |
|
|
1428 | not to use color. |

|

|
|
1430 | =item How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable? |
|
|
1431 | |
|
|
1432 | If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and ahve enabled |
|
|
1433 | insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
|
|
1434 | snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
|
|
1435 | wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then |
|
|
1436 | the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a |
|
|
1437 | regular xterm. |
