379 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed it's windows into an already-existing window, |
|
|
380 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
381 | |
|
|
382 | Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
383 | shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
|
|
384 | quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
385 | create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
|
|
386 | |
|
|
387 | The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
|
|
388 | |
|
|
389 | It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
|
|
390 | descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
|
|
391 | can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
392 | terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or |
|
|
393 | not. |
|
|
394 | |
|
|
395 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
396 | used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>): |
|
|
397 | |
|
|
398 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
399 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
400 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
401 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &"; |
|

402 | }); |

|
403 | |
|
|
404 | =item B<-pty-fd> I<fileno> |
|
|
405 | |
|
|
406 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
|
|
407 | pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is |
|
|
408 | useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
409 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
410 | |
|
|
411 | If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
|
|
412 | entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
413 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
414 | |
|
|
415 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |
|
|
416 | longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>): |
|
|
417 | |

935 | |
829 | KEYSYM_RESOURCE. |
936 | Please note that you need to double the C<\> when using |
|
|
937 | C<--enable-xgetdefault>, as X itself does it's own de-escaping (you can |
|
|
938 | use C<\033> instead of C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and |
|
|
939 | @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own processing). |
|
|
940 | |
|
|
941 | You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
|
|
942 | with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/' |
|
|
943 | should be a character not used by the strings. |
|
|
944 | |
|
|
945 | Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: |
|
|
946 | |
|
|
947 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> |
|
|
948 | |
|
|
949 | The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: |
|
|
950 | |
|
|
951 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> |
|
|
952 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b> |
|
|
953 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c> |
|
|
954 | |
|
|
955 | If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
956 | is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |
|
|
957 | example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> |
|
|
958 | when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |
|
|
959 | |
|
|
960 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 |
|
|
961 | |
|
|
962 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
|
|
963 | the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
|
|
964 | font-switching at runtime: |
|
|
965 | |
|
|
966 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
|
|
967 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
|
|
968 | |
|
|
969 | Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more |
|
|
