22 | =head1 RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT |
|
|
23 | |
|
|
24 | Unlike the original rxvt, B<rxvt-unicode> stores all text in Unicode |
|
|
25 | internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the |
|
|
26 | world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult, |
|
|
27 | especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts |
|
|
28 | like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules, |
|
|
29 | like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these |
|
|
30 | scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work |
|
|
31 | fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are left-to-right scripts, such |
|
|
32 | as hebrew: B<rxvt-unicode> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms |
|
|
33 | belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things -- |
|
|
34 | such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might |
|
|
35 | change. |
|
|
36 | |
|
|
37 | If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let |
|
|
38 | me recommend C<mlterm>, which is a very userfriendly, lean and clean |
|
|
39 | terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely |
|
|
40 | because the author couldn't get C<mlterm> to use one font for latin1 and |
|
|
41 | another for japanese. |
|
|
42 | |
|
|
43 | Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to |
|
|
44 | display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other |
|
|
45 | programs force onto it's users never made sense to me: You should be able |
|
|
46 | to choose any font for any script freely. |
|
|
47 | |
|
|
48 | Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than |
|
|
49 | it's predecessor, supports things such as XFT and ISO 14755 that are handy |
|
|
50 | in i18n-environments, is faster, and has a lot less bugs than the original |
|
|
51 | rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements. |
|
|
52 | |
|
|
53 | It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean |
|
|
54 | and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode |
|
|
55 | without most of it's features to get a lean binary. It also comes with |
|
|
56 | a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows |
|
|
57 | from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and |
|
|
58 | drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and |
|
|
59 | @@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) (client). |
|
|
60 | |
|
|
61 | It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have |
|
|
62 | been extended) easier accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical |
|
|
63 | reference documentation (escape sequences etc.). |

766 | |
872 | |
767 | Partial ISO 14755-support is implemented. that means that pressing |
873 | ISO 14755 is a standard for entering and viewing unicode characters |
|
|
874 | and character codes using the keyboard. It consists of 4 parts. The |
|
|
875 | first part is available rxvt-unicode has been compiled with |
|
|
876 | C<--enable-frills>, the rest is available when rxvt-unicode was compiled |
|
|
877 | with C<--enable-iso14755>. |
768 | |
878 | |
769 | Section 5.1: Control and Shift together enters unicode input |

770 | mode. Entering hex digits composes a Unicode character, pressing space or |
|
|
771 | releasing the modifiers commits the keycode and every other key cancels |
|
|
772 | the current input character. |

777 | key. |
884 | |
|
|
885 | Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter |
|
|
886 | hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will |
|
|
887 | commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down |
|
|
888 | C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing |
|
|
889 | C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new |
|
|
890 | one. |
|
|
891 | |
|
|
892 | As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail |
|
|
893 | address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail |
|
|
894 | address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily |
|
|
895 | by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>, |
|
|
896 | followed by releasing the modifier keys. |
|
|
897 | |
|
|
898 | =item 5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method |
|
|
899 | |
|
|
900 | This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of |
|
|
901 | your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding. |
|
|
902 | |
|
|
903 | Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing |
|
|
904 | them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not |
|
|
905 | invoke it's usual function but instead will insert the corresponding |
|
|
906 | keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been |
|
|
907 | released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for |
|
|
908 | C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a |
|
|
909 | reverse tab (Shift-Tab). |
|
|
910 | |

911 | =item 5.3: Screen-selection entry method |
|
|
912 | |
|
|
913 | While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection |
|
|
914 | mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map. |
|
|
915 | |
|
|
916 | =item 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input |
|
|
917 | |
|
|
918 | This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with |
|
|
919 | characters already displayed. |
|
|
920 | |
|
|
921 | You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then |
|
|
922 | pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode |
|
|
923 | hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the |
|
|
924 | pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>. |
|
|
925 | |
|
|
926 | In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this |
|
|
927 | character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with |
|
|
928 | combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will |
|
|
929 | always be drawn using the built-in support font. |
