		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.).

		904	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		905	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/'
		906	should be a character not used by the strings.
		907
		908	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		909
		910	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list\|\033<M-C-\|abc\|>
		911
		912	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		913
		914	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		915	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		916	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		917
		918	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		919	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		920	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		921	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		922
		923	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		924
		925	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		926	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		927	font-switching at runtime:
		928

		930	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007

862	=item How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?
863
864	The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). For rxvt-unicode
865	version 2.14 and later, the escape sequence C<ESC[8n> sets the window
866	title to the version number.
867
868	=item Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works.
869
870	Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing
871	some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've
872	heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A
873	quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are
874	depressed. See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7)
875
876	=item What's with this bold/blink stuff?
877
878	If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the
879	standard foreground colour.
880
881	For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the
882	text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard
883	colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be
884	ignored.
885
886	On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity
887	foreground/background colors.
888
889	color0-7 are the low-intensity colors.
890
891	color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors.
892
893	=item I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them?
894
895	You can change the screen colors at run-time using F<~/.Xdefaults>
896	resources (or as long-options).
897
898	Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen,
899	including the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow:
900
901	Rxvt*color0: #000000
902	Rxvt*color1: #A80000
903	Rxvt*color2: #00A800
904	Rxvt*color3: #A8A800
905	Rxvt*color4: #0000A8
906	Rxvt*color5: #A800A8
907	Rxvt*color6: #00A8A8
908	Rxvt*color7: #A8A8A8
909
910	Rxvt*color8: #000054
911	Rxvt*color9: #FF0054
912	Rxvt*color10: #00FF54
913	Rxvt*color11: #FFFF54
914	Rxvt*color12: #0000FF
915	Rxvt*color13: #FF00FF
916	Rxvt*color14: #00FFFF
917	Rxvt*color15: #FFFFFF
918
919	=item What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?
920
921	Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
922	BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
923	question) there are two standard values that can be used for
924	Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>.
925
926	Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
927	policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
928	choice :).
929
930	Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
931	of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
932	started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
933	system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will
934	be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).
935
936	For starting a new rxvt-unicode:
937
938	# use Backspace = ^H
939	$ stty erase ^H
940	$ @@RXVT_NAME@@
941
942	# use Backspace = ^?
943	$ stty erase ^?
944	$ @@RXVT_NAME@@
945
946	Toggle with "ESC[36h" / "ESC[36l" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7).
947
948	For an existing rxvt-unicode:
949
950	# use Backspace = ^H
951	$ stty erase ^H
952	$ echo -n "^[[36h"
953
954	# use Backspace = ^?
955	$ stty erase ^?
956	$ echo -n "^[[36l"
957
958	This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
959	if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
960	properly reflects that.
961
962	The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
963	To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
964	key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
965	(ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.
966
967	Some other Backspace problems:
968
969	some editors use termcap/terminfo,
970	some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
971	GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.
972
973	Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.
974
975	=item I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them?
976
977	There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless
978	you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can
979	use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysym
980	0xFF00 - 0xFFFF (function, cursor keys, etc).
981
982	Here's an example for a tn3270 session started using `@@RXVT_NAME@@ -name tn3270'
983
984	!# ----- special uses ------:
985	! tn3270 login, remap function and arrow keys.
986	tn3270font: clean-bold----15-*

1023	=item I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys.
1024	How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4
1025	has the following mappings that rxvt-unicode doesn't recognize.
1026
1027	KP_Insert == Insert
1028	F22 == Print
1029	F27 == Home
1030	F29 == Prior
1031	F33 == End
1032	F35 == Next
1033
1034	Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accomodate all the various possible keyboard
1035	mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as required for
1036	your particular machine.
1037
1038	=item How do I distinguish if I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm?
1039	I need this to decide about setting colors etc.
1040
1041	rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you can
1042	check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, slrn,
1043	Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or
1044	not to use color.
1045
1046	=item How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable?
1047
1048	If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and ahve enabled
1049	insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script
1050	snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode
1051	wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then
1052	the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a
1053	regular xterm.
