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

705	KEYSYM_RESOURCE.	959	Please note that you need to double the C<\> when using
		960	C<--enable-xgetdefault>, as X itself does it's own de-escaping (you can
		961	use C<\033> instead of C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and
		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
		1009	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1010
		1011	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1012	info):
		1013
		1014	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		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.

		1104	As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail

		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

		1129
		1130	This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with

		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
