		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.).

		454
		455	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		456	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		457	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		458	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		459
		460	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		461
		462	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		463	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		464	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		465	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		466	not.
		467
		468	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		469	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		470
		471	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		472	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		473	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		478
		479	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		480	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		481	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		482	without having to run a program within it.
		483
		484	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		485	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		486	yourself if you want that.
		487
		488	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		489	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		490	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		491
		492	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		493	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):

		495	use IO::Pty;
		496	use Fcntl;
		497

		1053	B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>,

		1055	B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1056
		1057	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1058	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1059	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1060	current application keymap mode state.
		1061
		1062	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		1063	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
		1064	omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
		1065	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		1066	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1067
		1068	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
		1069	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
		1070
		1071	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by
		1072	loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string>
		1073	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1074	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1075
		1076	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1077
		1078	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
		1079
		1080	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1081
		1082	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a>
		1083	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<b>
		1084	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c>
		1085
		1086	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1087	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1088	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1089	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1090
		1091	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1092
		1093	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1094	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1095	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1096	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1097
		1098	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1099
		1100	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1101	will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1102	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1103	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1104	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1105	mappings themselves.
		1106
		1107	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1108	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1109	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1110	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1111
		1112	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1113	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1114
		1115	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1116	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1117	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1118
		1119	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to

		1409	=item * 5.1: Basic method
		1410
		1411	This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode.
		1412
		1413	Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter
		1414	hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will
		1415	commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
		1416	C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
		1417	C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new
		1418	one.
		1419
		1420	As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail
		1421	address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail
		1422	address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily
		1423	by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>,
		1424	followed by releasing the modifier keys.
		1425
		1426	=item * 5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method
		1427
		1428	This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of
		1429	your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding.
		1430
		1431	Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing
		1432	them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not
		1433	invoke its usual function but instead will insert the corresponding
		1434	keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been
		1435	released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for
		1436	C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a
		1437	reverse tab (Shift-Tab).
		1438
		1439	=item * 5.3: Screen-selection entry method
		1440
		1441	While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection
		1442	mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map.
		1443
		1444	=item * 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input
		1445
		1446	This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with
		1447	characters already displayed.
		1448
		1449	You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then
		1450	pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode
		1451	hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
		1452	pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>.
		1453
		1454	In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
		1455	character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with
		1456	combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will
		1457	always be drawn using the built-in support font.

		1535	would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black on
		1536	White.
		1537
		1538	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1539
		1540	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1541	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1542
		1543	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1544	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1545	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1546	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1547	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1548	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1549	all ways to specify a colour.
		1550
		1551	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1552	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1553	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1554	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1555	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1556	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1557	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1558
		1559	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1560	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1561	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1562	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1563
		1564	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1565	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1566
		1567	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1568
		1569	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1570	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1571	transparency of course).
		1572
		1573	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1574	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1575	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1576	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1577	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1578	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1579
		1580	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1581	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1582	extension.
