		39	If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let

		425	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		426	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		427
		428	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		429
		430	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		431	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		432	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		433	terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
		434	not.
		435
		436	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		437	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		438
		439	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		440	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		441	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		446
		447	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		448	pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
		449	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		450	without having to run a program within it.
		451
		452	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		453	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		454	yourself if you want that.
		455
		456	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		457	pty/tty operations.
		458
		459	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a

		464

		995
		996	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		997	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
		998	omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
		999	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		1000	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1001
		1002	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace,

		1009	Xlib itself does it's own de-escaping (you can use C<\033> instead of
		1010	C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own
		1011	processing).
		1012
		1013	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1014	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/'
		1015	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1016
		1017	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1018
		1019	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
		1020
		1021	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1022
		1023	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		1024	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		1025	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		1026
		1027	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1028	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1029	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1030	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1031
		1032	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1033
		1034	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1035	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1036	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1037	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1038
		1039	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1040
		1041	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1042	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1043	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1044	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1045	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1046	mappings themselves.
		1047
		1048	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1049	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1050	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1051	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1052
		1053	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1054	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1055
		1056	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1057	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1058	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1059
		1060	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1061	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1062	font-switching at runtime:
		1063
		1064	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1065	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1066
		1067	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1068	info):
		1069
		1070	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1081	them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
		1082	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1083	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1084	C<selection>.
		1085
		1086	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1087	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for

908	This is because there is a difference between script and language --	1379	=item B<DISPLAY>
909	rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output

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.

918	The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font	1381	Used by @@RXVT_NAME@@ to connect to the display and set to the correct

978
979	=item What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?
980
981	Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
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
1000	$ @@RXVT_NAME@@	1408	@@RXVT_NAME@@.
1001
1002	# use Backspace = ^?
1003	$ stty erase ^?
1004	$ @@RXVT_NAME@@
1005
1006	Toggle with "ESC[36h" / "ESC[36l" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7).
1007
1008	For an existing rxvt-unicode:
1009
1010	# use Backspace = ^H
1011	$ stty erase ^H
1012	$ echo -n "^[[36h"
1013
1014	# use Backspace = ^?
1015	$ stty erase ^?
1016	$ echo -n "^[[36l"
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.
1026
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
1033	Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.
1034
1035	=item I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them?
1036
1037	There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless
1038	you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can
1039	use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysym

1092	F35 == Next
1093
1094	Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accomodate all the various possible keyboard
1095	mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as required for

1098	=item How do I distinguish if I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm?
1099	I need this to decide about setting colors etc.
1100
1101	rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you can
1102	check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, slrn,
1103	Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or

1106	=item How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable?
1107
1108	If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and ahve enabled
1109	insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script
1110	snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode
1111	wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then
1112	the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a
