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 { |
|

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. |
|

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

966 | is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |
865 | C<proto:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007> means: change the current locale to |
967 | example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> |
866 | C<zh_CN.GBK>. |

|
|
972 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
|
|
973 | will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
|
|
974 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
|
|
975 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
|
|
976 | definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
|
|
977 | mappings themselves. |
|
|
978 | |
|
|
979 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
980 | if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |
|
|
981 | C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the |
|
|
982 | user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: |
|
|
983 | |
|
|
984 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
985 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
986 | |
|
|
987 | The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination |
|
|
988 | of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
|
|
989 | C<Shift-Insert>. |
|
|
990 | |
|
|
991 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
|
|
992 | the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
|
|
993 | font-switching at runtime: |
|
|
994 | |
|
|
995 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
|
|
