|
390 | shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |

|
391 | quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
392 | create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
|
|
393 | |
|
|
394 | The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
|
|
395 | |
|
|
396 | It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
|
|
397 | descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
|
|
398 | can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
399 | terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or |
|
|
400 | not. |
|
|
401 | |
|
|
402 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
403 | used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>): |
|
|
404 | |
|
|
405 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
406 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|

411 | =item B<-pty-fd> I<fileno> |
|
|
412 | |
|
|
413 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
|
|
414 | pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is |
|
|
415 | useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
416 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
417 | |
|
|
418 | If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
|
|
419 | entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
420 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
421 | |

422 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |

|
|
640 | the iso8859-1 version of the second font), which is the base font (because |

641 | it is named first) and thus defines the character cell grid to be 9 pixels |
|
|
642 | wide and 15 pixels high. |
|

644 | The second font is just used to add additional unicode characters not in |

|
645 | the base font, likewise the third, which is unfortunately non-bold, but |

|
646 | the bold version of the font does contain less characters, so this is a |
|
|
647 | useful supplement. |

649 | The third font is an Xft font with aliasing turned off, and the characters |
|
|
650 | are limited to the B<JIS 0208> codeset (i.e. japanese kanji). The font |

651 | contains other characters, but we are not interested in them. |

|

|
|
962 | @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own processing). |
|
|
963 | |
|
|
964 | You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
|
|
965 | with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/' |
|
|
966 | should be a character not used by the strings. |
|
|
967 | |
|
|
968 | Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: |
|
|
969 | |
|
|
970 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> |
|
|
971 | |
|
|
972 | The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: |
|
|
973 | |
|
|
974 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> |
|
|
975 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b> |
|
|
976 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c> |
|
|
977 | |
|
|
978 | If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
979 | is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |
|
|
980 | example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> |
|
|
981 | when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |
|
|
982 | |
|
|
983 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 |
|
|
984 | |
|
|
985 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
|
|
986 | will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
|
|
987 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
|
|
988 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
|
|
989 | definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
|
|
990 | mappings themselves. |
|
|
991 | |
|
|
992 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
993 | if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |
|
|
994 | C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the |
|
|
995 | user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: |
|
|
996 | |
|
|
997 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
998 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
999 | |
|
|
1000 | The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination |
|
|
1001 | of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
|
|
1002 | C<Shift-Insert>. |
|
|
1003 | |
|
|
1004 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
|
|
1005 | the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
|
|
1006 | font-switching at runtime: |
|
|
1007 | |
|
|
1008 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
|

1096 | |
|
|
1097 | Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter |
|
|
1098 | hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will |
|
|
1099 | commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down |
|
|
1100 | C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing |
|
|
1101 | C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new |
|
|
1102 | one. |
|
|
1103 | |
|
|
1104 | As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail |
|
|
1105 | address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail |
|
|
1106 | address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily |
|
|
1107 | by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>, |

|
1113 | your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding. |
|
|
1114 | |
|
|
1115 | Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing |
|
|
1116 | them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not |
|
|
1117 | invoke it's usual function but instead will insert the corresponding |
|
|
1118 | keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been |
|
|
1119 | released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for |
|
|
1120 | C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a |

|
1121 | reverse tab (Shift-Tab). |

|
|
1128 | =item * 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input |
|
|
1129 | |

|
1130 | This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with |
|
|
1131 | characters already displayed. |
|
|
1132 | |
|
|
1133 | You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then |
|
|
1134 | pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode |
|
|
1135 | hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the |
|
|
1136 | pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>. |
|
|
1137 | |
|
|
1138 | In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this |
|
|
1139 | character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with |

909 | rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output |
|

910 | is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode |
|
|
911 | first sees a japanese character, it might choose a japanese font for |

|
912 | it. Subseqzuent japanese characters will take that font. Now, many chinese |
|
|
913 | characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
|
|
914 | non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
|
|
915 | -- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
|
|
916 | japanese characters that are also chinese. |
|
|
917 | |

981 | Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
1279 | If set and accessible, gives the name of a X resource file to be loaded by |
982 | BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
|
|
983 | question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
|
|
984 | Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>. |
|
|
985 | |
|
|
986 | Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian |
|
|
987 | policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct |
|
|
988 | choice :). |
|
|
989 | |
|
|
990 | Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value |
|
|
991 | of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't |
|
|
992 | started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the |
|
|
993 | system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will |
|
|
994 | be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting). |
|
|
995 | |
|
|
996 | For starting a new rxvt-unicode: |
|
|
997 | |
|
|
998 | # use Backspace = ^H |
|
|
999 | $ stty erase ^H |

|
|
1017 | |
|
|
1018 | This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |
|
|
1019 | if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |
|
|
1020 | properly reflects that. |
|
|
1021 | |
|
|
1022 | The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem. |
|
|
1023 | To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete |
|
|
1024 | key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute |
|
|
1025 | (ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo. |

1027 | Some other Backspace problems: |
|
|
1028 | |
|
|
1029 | some editors use termcap/terminfo, |
|
|
1030 | some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H, |
|
|
1031 | GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help. |
|
|
1032 | |
