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

486=item B<-embed> I<windowid>
487
488Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window,
489which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
490
491Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
492shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
493quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
494create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
495
496The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
497
498It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
499descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
500can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
501terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
502not.
503
504Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
505used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
506
507 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
508 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
509 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
510 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
511 });
512
513=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
514
515Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
516pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
517useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
518without having to run a program within it.
519
520If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
521entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
522yourself if you want that.
523
524As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
525pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
526perl extension that manages the terminal.
527
528Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
529longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
530
531 use IO::Pty;
532 use Fcntl;
533
534 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
535 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
536 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
537 close $pty;
538
539 # now communicate with rxvt
540 my $slave = $pty->slave;
541 while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" }
542
543Note that, despite what the name might imply, the file descriptor does not
544need to be a pty, it can be a bi-directional pipe as well (e.g. a unix
545domain or tcp socket). While tty operations cannot be done in this case,
546B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> can still be remote controlled with it:
547
548 use Socket;
549 use Fcntl;
550
551 socketpair my $URXVT, my $slave, Socket::AF_UNIX, Socket::SOCK_STREAM, Socket::PF_UNSPEC;
552 fcntl $slave, Fcntl::F_SETFD, 0;
553 system "exec @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $slave) . " &";
554 close $slave;
555
556 syswrite $URXVT, "Type a secret password: ";
557 my $secret = do { local $/ = "\r"; <$URXVT> };
558 print "Not so secret anymore: $secret\n";

704omitted. This resource is only available when compiled with 1137terminal scroll up or down the way you want it, or any other thing an
705KEYSYM_RESOURCE. 1138extension might provide.
1139
1140The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1141
1142 (modifiers-)key
1143
1144Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of the following full or
1145abbreviated modifier names:
1146
1147=begin table
1148
1149 B<ISOLevel3> B<I>
1150 B<AppKeypad> B<K>
1151 B<Control> B<C>
1152 B<NumLock> B<N>
1153 B<Shift> B<S>
1154 B<Meta> B<M> I<or> B<A>
1155 B<Lock> B<L>
1156 B<Mod1> B<1>
1157 B<Mod2> B<2>
1158 B<Mod3> B<3>
1159 B<Mod4> B<4>
1160 B<Mod5> B<5>
1161
1162=end table
1163
1164The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1165whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1166keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1167current application keymap mode state.
1168
1169Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1170match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1171key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1172defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1173C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1174themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1175this when this is a problem.
1176
1177The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1178find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1179looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1180the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1181value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1182
1183As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1184escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1185number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1186
1187An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1188of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1189interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1190prefixed with C<string:>).
1191
1192The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1193additional prefixes:
1194
1195=over
1196
1197=item string:STRING
1198
1199If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1200then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1201terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1202string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1203
1204 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1205
1206This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1207
1208In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1209keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1210providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1211the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1212
1213Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1214
1215 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1216
1217The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1218
1219 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
1220 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>
1221 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: string:\033<c>
1222
1223=item command:STRING
1224
1225If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1226is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1227the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1228in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1229most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1230
1231For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1232when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1233
1234 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1235
1236The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1237the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1238font-switching at runtime:
1239
1240 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1241 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1242
1243Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more

1249=item builtin:
1250
1251The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1252key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1253the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1254bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1255
1256For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1257@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1258"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1259
1260 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1261 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1262
1263The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1264of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1265C<Shift-Insert>.
1266
1267=item builtin-string:
1268
1269This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1270have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1271difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1272application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1273action for it.
1274
1275An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1276selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1277would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1278terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1279
1280 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1281 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1282
1283The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1284combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1285C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1286
1287Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1288clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1289this:
1290

1292 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:

1323use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>.
1324
1325Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to remove them again, in
1326case they had been specified earlier. This can be useful to selectively
1327disable some extensions loaded by default, or specified via the
1328C<perl-ext-common> resource. For example, C<default,-selection> will use
1329all the default extensions except C<selection>.
1330
1331To prohibit autoloading of extensions, you can prefix them with C</>,
1332which will make urxvt refuse to automatically load them (this can be
1333overridden, however, by specifying the extension name again without a
1334prefix, though). This does not prohibit extensions themselves loading
1335other extensions. For example, C<default,/background> will keep the
1336C<background> extension from being loaded when a background OSC sequence
1337is received.
1338
1339The default set includes the C<selection>, C<option-popup>,
1340C<selection-popup>, C<readline>, C<searchable-scrollback> and
1341C<confirm-paste> extensions, as well as any extensions which are mentioned
1342in B<keysym> resources.
1343
1344Any extension such that a corresponding resource is given on the
1345command line is automatically appended to B<perl-ext>.
1346
1347Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1348necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. When the library
1349search path contains multiple extension files of the same name, then the
1350first one found will be used.
1351
1352If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl interpreter
1353will not be initialized. The rationale for having two options is that
1354B<perl-ext-common> will be used for extensions that should be available to
1355all instances, while B<perl-ext> is used for specific instances.

767Partial ISO 14755-support is implemented. that means that pressing 1493ISO 14755 is a standard for entering and viewing unicode characters
1494and character codes using the keyboard. It consists of 4 parts. The
1495first part is available if rxvt-unicode has been compiled with
1496C<--enable-frills>, the rest is available when rxvt-unicode was compiled
1497with C<--enable-iso14755>.

777key. 1504
1505Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter
1506hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will
1507commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
1508C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
1509C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new
1510one.
1511
1512As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail
1513address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail
1514address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily
1515by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>,
1516followed by releasing the modifier keys.
1517

1520This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of
1521your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding.
1522
1523Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing
1524them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not
1525invoke its usual function but instead will insert the corresponding
1526keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been
1527released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for
1528C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a
1529reverse tab (Shift-Tab).

1536=item * 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input
1537
1538This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with
1539characters already displayed.
1540
1541You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then
1542pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode
1543hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
1544pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>.
1545
1546In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
1547character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with
1548combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will
1549always be drawn using the built-in support font.

1573number of 24-bit colours that can be used is limited: an internal 7x7x5 (256
1574colour mode) or 6x6x4 (88 colour mode) colour cube is used to index into the
157524-bit colour space. When indexing collisions happen, the nearest old colour in
1576the cube will be adapted to the new 24-bit RGB colour. That means one cannot
1577use many similar 24-bit colours. It's typically not a problem in common
1578scenarios.

1610The following text gives values for the standard 88 colour mode (and
1611values for the 256 colour mode in parentheses).
1612
1613The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
1614
1615 index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3
1616 index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5
1617
1618The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
1619steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of
1620the RGB cube.
1621
1622Together, all those colours implement the 88 (256) colour xterm
1623colours. Only the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the
1624rest can only be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").

1639=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
1640
1641If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1642their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
1643
1644You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
1645brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
1646(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
1647transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
1648half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
1649is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
1650all ways to specify a colour.
1651
1652For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
1653C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
1654specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
1655(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
1656while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
1657earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
1658C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
1659
1660You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
1661alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
1662layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
1663rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
1664
1665For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
1666background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
1667
1668 @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
1669
1670When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
1671alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
1672transparency of course).
1673
1674When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
1675colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
1676background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
1677other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
1678image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
1679fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
1680
1681Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
1682in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
1683extension.

862=item How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using? 1787=item Project Coordinator
863 1788
864The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). For rxvt-unicode 1789Marc A. Lehmann <rxvt-unicode@schmorp.de>.
865version 2.14 and later, the escape sequence C<ESC[8n> sets the window
866title to the version number.
867 1790
868=item Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works. 1791L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html>
869
870Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing
871some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've
872heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A
873quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are
874depressed. See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7)
875
876=item What's with this bold/blink stuff?
877
878If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the
879standard foreground colour.
880
881For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the
882text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard
883colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be
884ignored.
885
886On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity
887foreground/background colors.
888
889color0-7 are the low-intensity colors.
890
891color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors.
892
893=item I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them?
894
895You can change the screen colors at run-time using F<~/.Xdefaults>
896resources (or as long-options).
897
898Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen,
899including the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow:
900
901 Rxvt*color0: #000000
902 Rxvt*color1: #A80000
903 Rxvt*color2: #00A800
904 Rxvt*color3: #A8A800
905 Rxvt*color4: #0000A8
906 Rxvt*color5: #A800A8
907 Rxvt*color6: #00A8A8
908 Rxvt*color7: #A8A8A8
909
910 Rxvt*color8: #000054
911 Rxvt*color9: #FF0054
912 Rxvt*color10: #00FF54
913 Rxvt*color11: #FFFF54
914 Rxvt*color12: #0000FF
915 Rxvt*color13: #FF00FF
916 Rxvt*color14: #00FFFF
917 Rxvt*color15: #FFFFFF
918
919=item What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?
920
921Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
922BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
923question) there are two standard values that can be used for
924Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>.
925
926Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
927policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
928choice :).
929
930Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
931of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
932started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
933system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will
934be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).
935
936For starting a new rxvt-unicode:
937
938 # use Backspace = ^H
939 $ stty erase ^H
940 $ @@RXVT_NAME@@
941
942 # use Backspace = ^?
943 $ stty erase ^?
944 $ @@RXVT_NAME@@
945
946Toggle with "ESC[36h" / "ESC[36l" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7).
947
948For an existing rxvt-unicode:
949
950 # use Backspace = ^H
951 $ stty erase ^H
952 $ echo -n "^[[36h"
953
954 # use Backspace = ^?
955 $ stty erase ^?
956 $ echo -n "^[[36l"
957
958This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
959if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
960properly reflects that.
961
962The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
963To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
964key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
965(ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.
966
967Some other Backspace problems:
968
969some editors use termcap/terminfo,
970some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
971GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.
972
973Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.
974
975=item I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them?
976
977There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless
978you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can
979use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysym
9800xFF00 - 0xFFFF (function, cursor keys, etc).
981
982Here's an example for a tn3270 session started using `@@RXVT_NAME@@ -name tn3270'
983
984 !# ----- special uses ------:
985 ! tn3270 login, remap function and arrow keys.
986 tn3270*font: *clean-bold-*-*--15-*
987
988 ! keysym - used by rxvt only
989 ! Delete - ^D
990 tn3270*keysym.0xFFFF: \004
991
992 ! Home - ^A
993 tn3270*keysym.0xFF50: \001

1022
1023=item I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys.
1024How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4
1025has the following mappings that rxvt-unicode doesn't recognize.
1026
1027 KP_Insert == Insert
1028 F22 == Print
1029 F27 == Home
1030 F29 == Prior
1031 F33 == End
1032 F35 == Next
1033
1034Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accomodate all the various possible keyboard
1035mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as required for
1036your particular machine.
1037
1038=item How do I distinguish if I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm?
1039I need this to decide about setting colors etc.
1040
1041rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you can
1042check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, slrn,
1043Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or
1044not to use color.
1045
1046=item How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable?
1047
1048If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and ahve enabled
1049insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script
1050snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode
1051wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then
1052the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a
1053regular xterm.
1054
