		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.).

		461	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window,

		463
		464	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		465	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		466	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		467	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		468
		469	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		470
		471	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		472	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		473	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		474	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		475	not.
		476
		477	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		478	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		479
		480	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		481	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		482	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		487
		488	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		489	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		490	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		491	without having to run a program within it.
		492
		493	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		494	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		495	yourself if you want that.
		496
		497	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		498	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		499	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		500
		501	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		502	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):

		1070
		1071	The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
		1072
		1073	(modifiers-)key
		1074
		1075	Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
		1076	B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
		1077	B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
		1078	B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1079
		1080	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1081	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1082	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1083	current application keymap mode state.
		1084
		1085	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
		1086	match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
		1087	key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
		1088	defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
		1089	C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
		1090	themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
		1091	this when this is a problem.
		1092
		1093	The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
		1094	find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
		1095	looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
		1096	the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
		1097	value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
		1098
		1099	As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
		1100	escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
		1101	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
		1102
		1103	An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
		1104	of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
		1105	interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
		1106	prefixed with C<string:>).
		1107
		1108	The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
		1109	additional prefixes:
		1110
		1111	=over 4
		1112
		1113	=item string:STRING
		1114
		1115	If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
		1116	then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
		1117	terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
		1118	string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
		1119
		1120	URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
		1121
		1122	This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
		1123
		1124	In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
		1125	keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
		1126	providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
		1127	the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
		1128
		1129	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1130
		1131	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
		1132
		1133	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1134
		1135	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
		1136	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>
		1137	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: string:\033<c>
		1138
		1139	=item command:STRING
		1140
		1141	If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1142	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
		1143	the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
		1144	in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
		1145	most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
		1146
		1147	For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1148	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1149
		1150	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1151
		1152	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1153	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1154	font-switching at runtime:
		1155
		1156	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1157	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1158
		1159	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1160	info):
		1161
		1162	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
		1163	URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
		1164
		1165	=item builtin:
		1166
		1167	The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
		1168	key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
		1169	the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
		1170	bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
		1171
		1172	For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
		1173	@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
		1174	"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1175
		1176	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1177	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1178
		1179	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1180	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1181	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1182
		1183	=item builtin-string:
		1184
		1185	This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
		1186	have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
		1187	difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
		1188	application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
		1189	action for it.
		1190
		1191	An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
		1192	selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
		1193	would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
		1194	terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
		1195
		1196	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
		1197	URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
		1198
		1199	The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
		1200	combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
		1201	C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
		1202
		1203	Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
		1204	clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
		1205	this:
		1206
		1207	URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
		1208	URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:

		1650	White.
		1651
		1652	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1653
		1654	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1655	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1656
		1657	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1658	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1659	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1660	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1661	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1662	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1663	all ways to specify a colour.
		1664
		1665	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1666	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1667	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1668	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1669	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1670	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1671	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1672
		1673	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1674	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1675	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1676	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1677
		1678	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1679	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1680
		1681	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1682
		1683	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1684	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1685	transparency of course).
		1686
		1687	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1688	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1689	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1690	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1691	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1692	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1693
		1694	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1695	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1696	extension.

885

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>

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
