|
|
489 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
490 | |
|
|
491 | Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
492 | shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
|
|
493 | quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
494 | create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
|
|
495 | |
|
|
496 | The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
|
|
497 | |
|
|
498 | It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
|
|
499 | descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
|
|
500 | can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
501 | terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or |
|
|
502 | not. |
|
|
503 | |
|
|
504 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
505 | used (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 | |
|
|
515 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
|
|
516 | pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is |
|
|
517 | useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
518 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
519 | |
|
|
520 | If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
|
|
521 | entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
522 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
523 | |
|
|
524 | As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress |
|
|
525 | pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some |
|
|
526 | perl extension that manages the terminal. |
|
|
527 | |
|
|
528 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |
|
|
529 | longer 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 | |
|
|
543 | Note that, despite what the name might imply, the file descriptor does not |
|
|
544 | need to be a pty, it can be a bi-directional pipe as well (e.g. a unix |
|
|
545 | domain or tcp socket). While tty operations cannot be done in this case, |
|
|
546 | B<@@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> }; |
|

877 | The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or |
1170 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will |
878 | searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and |
1171 | match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other |
|
|
1172 | key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that |
|
|
1173 | defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for |
|
|
1174 | C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings |
|
|
1175 | themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around |
|
|
1176 | this when this is a problem. |
|
|
1177 | |
|
|
1178 | The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to |
|
|
1179 | find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by |
|
|
1180 | looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit |
879 | omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex |
1181 | the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym |
880 | keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not |
1182 | value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). |
881 | performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured. |
|
|
882 | |
1183 | |
883 | I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace, |
1184 | As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash |
884 | C<\e>, C<\E>: escape, C<\n>: newline, C<\r>: carriage return, C<\t>: tab, |
1185 | escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal |
885 | C<\000>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (C<^?>: delete, |
1186 | number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. |
886 | C<^@>: null, C<^A> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it |
|
|
887 | can start or end with whitespace. |

889 | Please note that you need to double the C<\> when using |

1191 | prefixed with C<string:>). |
893 | |
1192 | |
894 | You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
1193 | The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide |
895 | with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/' |

|
|
1197 | |
|
|
1198 | =item string:STRING |
|
|
1199 | |
|
|
1200 | If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons), |
|
|
1201 | then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the |
|
|
1202 | terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the |
|
|
1203 | string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline: |
|
|
1204 | |
|
|
1205 | URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n |
|
|
1206 | |
|
|
1207 | This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap. |
|
|
1208 | |
|
|
1209 | In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of |
|
|
1210 | keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and |
|
|
1211 | providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where |
896 | should be a character not used by the strings. |
1212 | the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings. |

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

|
|

1326 | Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to remove them again, in |

1327 | case they had been specified earlier. This can be useful to selectively |
|
|
1328 | disable some extensions loaded by default, or specified via the |
|
|
1329 | C<perl-ext-common> resource. For example, C<default,-selection> will use |
|
|
1330 | all the default extensions except C<selection>. |
|
|
1331 | |
|
|
1332 | To prohibit autoloading of extensions, you can prefix them with C</>, |
|
|
1333 | which will make urxvt refuse to automatically load them (this can be |
|
|
1334 | overridden, however, by specifying the extension name again without a |
|
|
1335 | prefix, though). This does not prohibit extensions themselves loading |
|
|
1336 | other extensions. For example, C<default,/background> will keep the |
|
|
1337 | C<background> extension from being loaded when a background OSC sequence |
|
|
1338 | is received. |
|
|
1339 | |

|
1344 | |
|

1345 | Any extension such that a corresponding resource is given on the |

1574 | number of 24-bit colours that can be used is limited: an internal 7x7x5 (256 |
|
|
1575 | colour mode) or 6x6x4 (88 colour mode) colour cube is used to index into the |
|
|
1576 | 24-bit colour space. When indexing collisions happen, the nearest old colour in |
|
|
1577 | the cube will be adapted to the new 24-bit RGB colour. That means one cannot |
|
|
1578 | use many similar 24-bit colours. It's typically not a problem in common |
|

|
|
1615 | |
|
|
1616 | index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3 |

1640 | =head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT |
|
|
1641 | |
|
|
1642 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |
|
|
1643 | their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management: |
|
|
1644 | |
|
|
1645 | You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in |
|
|
1646 | brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage |
|
|
1647 | (0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely |
|
|
1648 | transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a |
|
|
1649 | half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This |
|
|
1650 | is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with |
|
|
1651 | all ways to specify a colour. |
|
|
1652 | |
|
|
1653 | For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports |
|
|
1654 | C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour |
|
|
1655 | specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity |
|
|
1656 | (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent, |
|
|
1657 | while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from |
|
|
1658 | earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and |
|
|
1659 | C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>. |
|
|
1660 | |
|
|
1661 | You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with |
|
|
1662 | alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel |
|
|
1663 | layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and |
|
|
1664 | rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
|
|
1665 | |
|
|
1666 | For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black |
|
|
1667 | background, and an almost opaque pink foreground: |
|
|
1668 | |
|
|
1669 | @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink" |
|
|
1670 | |
|
|
1671 | When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the |
|
|
1672 | alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as |
|
|
1673 | transparency of course). |
|
|
1674 | |
|
|
1675 | When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background |
|
|
1676 | colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the |
|
|
1677 | background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while |
|
|
1678 | other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background |
|
|
1679 | image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or |
|
|
1680 | fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION. |
|
|
1681 | |
|
|
1682 | Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result |
|
|
1683 | in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER |
|
|
1684 | extension. |
