		26
		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.).

		505
		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 {
		524	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		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
		544	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):

		546	use IO::Pty;

		548

		1164
		1165	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		1166	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and

		1169	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1170
		1171	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
		1172	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
		1173
		1174	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1175	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1176	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1177
		1178	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1179
		1180	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
		1181
		1182	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1183
		1184	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		1185	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		1186	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		1187
		1188	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1189	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1190	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1191	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1192
		1193	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1194
		1195	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1196	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1197	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1198	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1199
		1200	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1201
		1202	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1203	will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1204	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1205	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1206	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1207	mappings themselves.
		1208
		1209	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1210	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1211	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1212	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1213
		1214	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1215	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1216
		1217	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1218	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1219	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1220
		1221	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1222	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1223	font-switching at runtime:
		1224
		1225	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1226	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1227

		1229	info):

		1243	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1244	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1245	C<selection>.
		1246
		1247	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1248	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for

		1526	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1527
		1528	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1529	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1530
		1531	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1532	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1533	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1534	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1535	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1536	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1537	all ways to specify a colour.
		1538
		1539	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1540	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1541	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1542	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1543	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1544	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1545	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1546
		1547	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1548	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1549	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1550	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1551
		1552	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1553	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1554
		1555	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1556
		1557	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1558	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1559	transparency of course).
		1560
		1561	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1562	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1563	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1564	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1565	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1566	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1567
		1568	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1569	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1570	extension.

868	=item Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works.	1667	L<http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/rxvt-unicode.html>
869
870	Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing
871	some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've
872	heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A
873	quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are
874	depressed. See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7)
875
876	=item What's with this bold/blink stuff?
877
878	If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the
879	standard foreground colour.
880
881	For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the
882	text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard
883	colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be
884	ignored.
885
886	On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity
887	foreground/background colors.
888
889	color0-7 are the low-intensity colors.
890
891	color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors.
892
893	=item I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them?
894
895	You can change the screen colors at run-time using F<~/.Xdefaults>
896	resources (or as long-options).
897
898	Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen,
899	including 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
921	Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
922	BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
923	question) there are two standard values that can be used for
924	Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>.
925
926	Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
927	policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
928	choice :).
929
930	Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
931	of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
932	started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
933	system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will
934	be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).
935
936	For 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
946	Toggle with "ESC[36h" / "ESC[36l" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7).
947
948	For 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
958	This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
959	if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
960	properly reflects that.
961
962	The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
963	To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
964	key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
965	(ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.
966
967	Some other Backspace problems:
968
969	some editors use termcap/terminfo,
970	some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
971	GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.
972
973	Perhaps 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
977	There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless
978	you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can
979	use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysym
980	0xFF00 - 0xFFFF (function, cursor keys, etc).
981
982	Here'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.

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