=head1 DESCRIPTION |
10 |
|
11 |
B<rxvt-unicode>, version B<@@RXVT_VERSION@@>, is a colour vt102 terminal |
12 |
emulator intended as an I<xterm>(1) replacement for users who do not |
13 |
require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style |
14 |
configurability. As a result, B<rxvt-unicode> uses much less swap space -- |
15 |
a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions. |

See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) (try C<man 7 @@RXVT_NAME@@>) for a list of |

frequently asked questions and answer to them and some common |

=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 devanagari. 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 right-to-left scripts, such |
34 |
as hebrew: B<rxvt-unicode> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms |
35 |
belong in 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 user friendly, 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 its 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 |
its predecessor, supports things such as XFT and ISO 14755 that are handy |
52 |
in i18n-environments, is faster, and has a lot bugs less 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 its 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) more accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical |
65 |
reference documentation (escape sequences etc.). |

=head1 OPTIONS |
68 |
|
69 |
The B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> options (mostly a subset of I<xterm>'s) are listed |
70 |
below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be |
71 |
eliminated or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and |
72 |
defaults listed may not accurately reflect the version installed on |
73 |
your system. `@@RXVT_NAME@@ -h' gives a list of major compile-time options on |
74 |
the I<Options> line. Option descriptions may be prefixed with which |
75 |
compile option each is dependent upon. e.g. `Compile I<XIM>:' requires |
76 |
I<XIM> on the I<Options> line. Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ -help' gives a list of all |
77 |
command-line options compiled into your version. |
78 |
|
79 |
Note that B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> permits the resource name to be used as a |
80 |
long-option (--/++ option) so the potential command-line options are |
81 |
far greater than those listed. For example: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ --loginShell --color1 |
82 |
Orange'. |

439 |
|
440 |
=item B<-ssr>|B<+ssr> |
441 |
|
442 |
Turn on/off secondary screen scroll (default enabled); resource |
443 |
B<secondaryScroll>. |
444 |
|
445 |
=item B<-hold>|B<+hold> |
446 |
|
447 |
Turn on/off hold window after exit support. If enabled, @@RXVT_NAME@@ |
448 |
will not immediately destroy its window when the program executed within |
449 |
it exits. Instead, it will wait till it is being killed or closed by the |
450 |
user; resource B<hold>. |
451 |
|
452 |
=item B<-xrm> I<string> |
453 |
|
454 |
Works like the X Toolkit option of the same name, by adding the I<string> |
455 |
as if it were specified in a resource file. Resource values specified this |
456 |
way take precedence over all other resource specifications. |
457 |
|
458 |
Note that you need to use the I<same> syntax as in the .Xdefaults file, |
459 |
e.g. C<*.background: black>. Also note that all @@RXVT_NAME@@-specific |
460 |
options can be specified as long-options on the commandline, so use |
461 |
of B<-xrm> is mostly limited to cases where you want to specify other |
462 |
resources (e.g. for input methods) or for compatibility with other |
463 |
programs. |
464 |
|
465 |
=item B<-keysym.>I<sym> I<string> |
466 |
|
467 |
Remap a key symbol. See resource B<keysym>. |
468 |
|
469 |
=item B<-embed> I<windowid> |
470 |
|
471 |
Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window, |
472 |
which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
473 |
|
474 |
Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
475 |
shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
476 |
quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
477 |
create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
478 |
|
479 |
The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
480 |
|
481 |
It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
482 |
descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
483 |
can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
484 |
terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or |
485 |
not. |
486 |
|
487 |
Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
488 |
used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>): |
489 |
|
490 |
my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
491 |
$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
492 |
my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
493 |
system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &"; |
494 |
}); |
495 |
|
496 |
=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor> |
497 |
|
498 |
Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
499 |
pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is |
500 |
useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
501 |
without having to run a program within it. |
502 |
|
503 |
If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
504 |
entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
505 |
yourself if you want that. |
506 |
|
507 |
As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress |
508 |
pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some |
509 |
perl extension that manages the terminal. |
510 |
|
511 |
Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |
512 |
longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>): |
513 |
|
514 |
use IO::Pty; |
515 |
use Fcntl; |
516 |
|
517 |
my $pty = new IO::Pty; |
518 |
fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec |
519 |
system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&"; |
520 |
close $pty; |
521 |
|
522 |
# now communicate with rxvt |
523 |
my $slave = $pty->slave; |
524 |
while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" } |
525 |
|
526 |
=item B<-pe> I<string> |
527 |

528 |
Comma-separated list of perl extension scripts to use (or not to use) in |
529 |

=head1 RESOURCES |
534 |
|
535 |
Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ --help' gives a list of all resources (long |
536 |
options) compiled into your version. All resources are also available as |
537 |
long-options. |
538 |
|
539 |
You can set and change the resources using X11 tools like B<xrdb>. Many |
540 |
distribution do also load settings from the B<~/.Xresources> file when X |
541 |
starts. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will consult the following files/resources in order, |
542 |
with later settings overwriting earlier ones: |
543 |
|
544 |
1. system-wide app-defaults file, either locale-dependent OR global |
545 |
2. app-defaults file in $XAPPLRESDIR |
546 |
3. RESOURCE_MANAGER property on root-window OR $HOME/.Xdefaults |
547 |
4. SCREEN_RESOURCES for the current screen |
548 |
5. $XENVIRONMENT file OR $HOME/.Xdefaults-<nodename> |
549 |
6. resources specified via -xrm on the commandline |
550 |
|
551 |
Note that when reading X resources, B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> recognizes two class |
552 |
names: B<Rxvt> and B<URxvt>. The class name B<Rxvt> allows resources |
553 |
common to both B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> and the original I<rxvt> to be easily |
554 |
configured, while the class name B<URxvt> allows resources unique to |
555 |
B<@@RXVT_NAME@@>, to be shared between different B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> |
556 |
configurations. If no resources are specified, suitable defaults will |
557 |
be used. Command-line arguments can be used to override resource |
558 |
settings. The following resources are supported (you might want to |
559 |
check the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage for additional settings by perl |
560 |
extensions not documented here): |

585 |
|
586 |
Use the specified colour for the colour value I<n>, where 0-7 |
587 |
corresponds to low-intensity (normal) colours and 8-15 corresponds to |
588 |
high-intensity (bold = bright foreground, blink = bright background) |
589 |
colours. The canonical names are as follows: 0=black, 1=red, 2=green, |
590 |
3=yellow, 4=blue, 5=magenta, 6=cyan, 7=white, but the actual colour |
591 |
names used are listed in the B<COLORS AND GRAPHICS> section. |
592 |
|
593 |
Colours higher than 15 cannot be set using resources (yet), but can be |
594 |
changed using an escape command (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7)). |
595 |
|
596 |
Colours 16-79 form a standard 4x4x4 colour cube (the same as xterm with |
597 |
88 colour support). Colours 80-87 are evenly spaces grey steps. |
598 |

=item B<colorBD:> I<colour> |
600 |
|
601 |
=item B<colorIT:> I<colour> |
602 |
|
603 |
Use the specified colour to display bold or italic characters when the |
604 |
foreground colour is the default. If font styles are not available |
605 |
(Compile I<styles>) and this option is unset, reverse video is used instead. |
606 |

itself. If unset, use the foreground colour. |
621 |
|
622 |
=item B<cursorColor:> I<colour> |
623 |
|
624 |
Use the specified colour for the cursor. The default is to use the |

foreground colour; option B<-cr>. |
626 |
|
627 |
=item B<cursorColor2:> I<colour> |
628 |
|
629 |
Use the specified colour for the colour of the cursor text. For this to |

take effect, B<cursorColor> must also be specified. The default is to |
631 |
use the background colour. |
632 |
|
633 |
=item B<reverseVideo:> I<boolean> |
634 |

=item B<jumpScroll:> I<boolean> |
640 |
|
641 |
B<True>: specify that jump scrolling should be used. When receiving lots |
642 |
of lines, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will only scroll once a whole screen height of lines |
643 |
has been read, resulting in fewer updates while still displaying every |
644 |
received line; option B<-j>. |
645 |
|
646 |
B<False>: specify that smooth scrolling should be used. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will |

force a screen refresh on each new line it received; option B<+j>. |
648 |
|
649 |
=item B<skipScroll:> I<boolean> |
650 |
|
651 |
B<True>: (the default) specify that skip scrolling should be used. When |
652 |
receiving lots of lines, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will only scroll once in a while |
653 |
(around 60 times per second), resulting in far fewer updates. This can |
654 |
result in @@RXVT_NAME@@ not ever displaying some of the lines it receives; |
655 |
option B<-ss>. |
656 |
|
657 |
B<False>: specify that everything is to be displayed, even |
658 |

|
701 |
Use the specified colour for the scrollbar [default #B2B2B2]. |
702 |
|
703 |
=item B<troughColor:> I<colour> |
704 |
|
705 |
Use the specified colour for the scrollbar's trough area [default |
706 |
#969696]. Only relevant for rxvt (non XTerm/NeXT) scrollbar. |
707 |
|
708 |
=item B<borderColor:> I<colour> |
709 |
|
710 |

711 |
and the text. |
712 |
|
713 |
=item B<backgroundPixmap:> I<file[;geom[:op1][:op2][...]]> |
714 |
|
715 |
Use the specified image file for the background and also |
716 |
optionally specify its scaling with a geometry string B<WxH+X+Y>, |
717 |
(default C<0x0+50+50>) in which B<"W" / "H"> specify the |
718 |
horizontal/vertical scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image |
719 |
centre (percent). A scale of 0 displays the image with tiling. A scale |
720 |
of 1 displays the image without any scaling. A scale of 2 to 9 specifies |
721 |
an integer number of images in that direction. No image will be magnified |
722 |
beyond 10 times its original size. The maximum permitted scale is 1000. |
723 |
Additional operations can be specified after colon B<:op1:op2...>. |
724 |
Supported operations are: |
725 |
|
726 |
tile force background image to be tiled and not scaled. Equivalent to 0x0, |
727 |
propscale will scale image keeping proportions, |
728 |
auto will scale image to match window size. Equivalent to 100x100; |
729 |
hscale will scale image horizontally to the window size; |
730 |
vscale will scale image vertically to the window size; |
731 |
scale will scale image to match window size; |
732 |
root will tile image as if it was a root window background, auto-adjusting |
733 |
whenever terminal window moves. |
734 |
|
735 |
If used in conjunction with B<-tr> option, the specified pixmap will be |
736 |
blended over transparency image using either alpha-blending, or any |
737 |
other blending type, specified with B<-blt "type"> option. |
738 |
|
739 |
=item B<path:> I<path> |
740 |
|
741 |
Specify the colon-delimited search path for finding background image files. |
742 |
|
743 |
=item B<font:> I<fontlist> |
744 |
|
745 |
Select the fonts to be used. This is a comma separated list of font names |
746 |
that are checked in order when trying to find glyphs for characters. The |
747 |
first font defines the cell size for characters; other fonts might be |
748 |
smaller, but not (in general) larger. A (hopefully) reasonable default |
749 |
font list is always appended to it; option B<-fn>. |
750 |
|
751 |
Each font can either be a standard X11 core font (XLFD) name, with |
752 |
optional prefix C<x:> or a Xft font (Compile I<xft>), prefixed with C<xft:>. |
753 |
|
754 |
In addition, each font can be prefixed with additional hints and |
755 |
specifications enclosed in square brackets (C<[]>). The only available |
756 |
hint currently is C<codeset=codeset-name>, and this is only used for Xft |
757 |
fonts. |
758 |
|
759 |
For example, this font resource |
760 |
|
761 |
URxvt.font: 9x15bold,\ |
762 |
-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1,\ |
763 |
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1, \ |
764 |
[codeset=JISX0208]xft:Kochi Gothic:antialias=false, \ |
765 |
xft:Code2000:antialias=false |
766 |
|
767 |
specifies five fonts to be used. The first one is C<9x15bold> (actually |
768 |
the iso8859-1 version of the second font), which is the base font (because |
769 |
it is named first) and thus defines the character cell grid to be 9 pixels |
770 |
wide and 15 pixels high. |
771 |
|
772 |
The second font is just used to add additional unicode characters not in |
773 |
the base font, likewise the third, which is unfortunately non-bold, but |
774 |
the bold version of the font does contain less characters, so this is a |
775 |
useful supplement. |
776 |
|
777 |
The third font is an Xft font with aliasing turned off, and the characters |
778 |
are limited to the B<JIS 0208> codeset (i.e. japanese kanji). The font |
779 |
contains other characters, but we are not interested in them. |
780 |
|
781 |
The last font is a useful catch-all font that supplies most of the |
782 |
remaining unicode characters. |
783 |
|
784 |
=item B<boldFont:> I<fontlist> |
785 |
|
786 |
=item B<italicFont:> I<fontlist> |
787 |
|
788 |
=item B<boldItalicFont:> I<fontlist> |
789 |
|
790 |
The font list to use for displaying B<bold>, I<italic> or B<< I<bold |
791 |
italic> >> characters, respectively. |
792 |
|
793 |
If specified and non-empty, then the syntax is the same as for the |
794 |
B<font>-resource, and the given font list will be used as is, which makes |
795 |
it possible to substitute completely different font styles for bold and |
796 |
italic. |
797 |
|
798 |
If unset (the default), a suitable font list will be synthesized by |
799 |
"morphing" the normal text font list into the desired shape. If that is |
800 |
not possible, replacement fonts of the desired shape will be tried. |
801 |
|
802 |
If set, but empty, then this specific style is disabled and the normal |
803 |
text font will being used for the given style. |
804 |
|
805 |
=item B<intensityStyles:> I<boolean> |
806 |
|
807 |
When font styles are not enabled, or this option is enabled (B<True>, |
808 |
option B<-is>, the default), bold and italic font styles imply high |
809 |
intensity foreground/background colours. Disabling this option (B<False>, |
810 |
option B<+is>) disables this behaviour, the high intensity colours are not |
811 |
reachable. |
812 |
|
813 |
=item B<selectstyle:> I<mode> |
814 |
|
815 |
Set mouse selection style to B<old> which is 2.20, B<oldword> which |
816 |
is xterm style with 2.20 old word selection, or anything else which |
817 |
gives xterm style selection. Only effective when the original (non-perl) |
818 |
selection code is in use. |
819 |
|
820 |
=item B<scrollstyle:> I<mode> |
821 |
|
822 |
Set scrollbar style to B<rxvt>, B<plain>, B<next> or B<xterm>. B<plain> is |
823 |
the author's favourite. |
824 |
|
825 |
=item B<title:> I<string> |
826 |
|
827 |
Set window title string, the default title is the command-line |
828 |
specified after the B<-e> option, if any, otherwise the application |
829 |
name; option B<-title>. |
830 |
|
831 |
=item B<iconName:> I<string> |
832 |
|
833 |
Set the name used to label the window's icon or displayed in an icon |
834 |
manager window, it also sets the window's title unless it is explicitly |
835 |
set; option B<-n>. |
836 |
|
837 |
=item B<mapAlert:> I<boolean> |
838 |
|
839 |
B<True>: de-iconify (map) on receipt of a bell character. B<False>: no |
840 |
de-iconify (map) on receipt of a bell character [default]. |
841 |
|
842 |
=item B<urgentOnBell:> I<boolean> |
843 |
|
844 |
B<True>: set the urgency hint for the wm on receipt of a bell character. |
845 |
B<False>: do not set the urgency hint [default]. |
846 |
|
847 |
=item B<visualBell:> I<boolean> |
848 |
|
849 |
B<True>: use visual bell on receipt of a bell character; option B<-vb>. |
850 |
B<False>: no visual bell [default]; option B<+vb>. |
851 |
|
852 |
=item B<loginShell:> I<boolean> |
853 |
|
854 |
B<True>: start as a login shell by prepending a `-' to B<argv[0]> of |
855 |
the shell; option B<-ls>. B<False>: start as a normal sub-shell |
856 |

[default]; option B<+ut>. |
863 |
|
864 |
=item B<print-pipe:> I<string> |
865 |
|
866 |
Specify a command pipe for vt100 printer [default I<lpr(1)>]. Use |
867 |
B<Print> to initiate a screen dump to the printer and B<Ctrl-Print> or |
868 |
B<Shift-Print> to include the scrollback as well. |
869 |
|
870 |
The string will be interpreted as if typed into the shell as-is. |
871 |
|
872 |
Example: |
873 |
|
874 |
URxvt.print-pipe: cat > $(TMPDIR=$HOME mktemp urxvt.XXXXXX) |
875 |
|
876 |
This creates a new file in your home directory with the screen contents |
877 |
every time you hit C<Print>. |
878 |
|
879 |
=item B<scrollBar:> I<boolean> |
880 |
|
881 |
B<True>: enable the scrollbar [default]; option B<-sb>. B<False>: |
882 |
disable the scrollbar; option B<+sb>. |
883 |
|
884 |
=item B<scrollBar_right:> I<boolean> |
885 |
|
886 |
B<True>: place the scrollbar on the right of the window; option B<-sr>. |

|
891 |
B<True>: display an rxvt scrollbar without a trough; option B<-st>. |
892 |
B<False>: display an rxvt scrollbar with a trough; option B<+st>. |
893 |
|
894 |
=item B<scrollBar_align:> I<mode> |
895 |
|
896 |
Align the B<top>, B<bottom> or B<centre> [default] of the scrollbar |
897 |
thumb with the pointer on middle button press/drag. |
898 |
|
899 |
=item B<scrollTtyOutput:> I<boolean> |
900 |
|
901 |
B<True>: scroll to bottom when tty receives output; option B<-si>. |
902 |
B<False>: do not scroll to bottom when tty receives output; option |
903 |
B<+si>. |
904 |
|
905 |
=item B<scrollWithBuffer:> I<boolean> |
906 |
|
907 |
B<True>: scroll with scrollback buffer when tty receives new lines (and |
908 |
B<scrollTtyOutput> is False); option B<-sw>. B<False>: do not scroll |
909 |
with scrollback buffer when tty receives new lines; option B<+sw>. |
910 |
|
911 |
=item B<scrollTtyKeypress:> I<boolean> |
912 |
|
913 |
B<True>: scroll to bottom when a non-special key is pressed. Special keys |
914 |
are those which are intercepted by rxvt-unicode for special handling and |
915 |
are not passed onto the shell; option B<-sk>. B<False>: do not scroll to |
916 |
bottom when a non-special key is pressed; option B<+sk>. |
917 |
|
918 |
=item B<saveLines:> I<number> |
919 |
|
920 |
Save I<number> lines in the scrollback buffer [default 64]. This |
921 |
resource is limited on most machines to 65535; option B<-sl>. |
922 |
|
923 |
=item B<internalBorder:> I<number> |
924 |
|
925 |
Internal border of I<number> pixels. This resource is limited to 100; |
926 |
option B<-b>. |
927 |
|
928 |
=item B<externalBorder:> I<number> |
929 |
|
930 |
External border of I<number> pixels. This resource is limited to 100; |
931 |
option B<-w>, B<-bw>, B<-borderwidth>. |
932 |
|
933 |
=item B<borderLess:> I<boolean> |
934 |
|
935 |
Set MWM hints to request a borderless window, i.e. if honoured by the |
936 |
WM, the rxvt-unicode window will not have window decorations; option B<-bl>. |
937 |
|
938 |
=item B<skipBuiltinGlyphs:> I<boolean> |
939 |
|
940 |
Compile I<frills>: Disable the usage of the built-in block graphics/line |
941 |
drawing characters and just rely on what the specified fonts provide. Use |
942 |
this if you have a good font and want to use its block graphic glyphs; |
943 |
option B<-sbg>. |
944 |
|
945 |
=item B<termName:> I<termname> |
946 |
|
947 |
Specifies the terminal type name to be set in the B<TERM> environment |
948 |
variable; option B<-tn>. |
949 |
|
950 |
=item B<lineSpace:> I<number> |
951 |
|
952 |
Specifies number of lines (pixel height) to insert between each row of |
953 |
the display [default 0]; option B<-lsp>. |
954 |
|
955 |
=item B<meta8:> I<boolean> |
956 |
|
957 |
B<True>: handle Meta (Alt) + keypress to set the 8th bit. B<False>: |
958 |
handle Meta (Alt) + keypress as an escape prefix [default]. |
959 |
|
960 |
=item B<mouseWheelScrollPage:> I<boolean> |
961 |
|
962 |
B<True>: the mouse wheel scrolls a page full. B<False>: the mouse wheel |
963 |
scrolls five lines [default]. |
964 |
|
965 |
=item B<pastableTabs:> I<boolean> |
966 |
|
967 |
B<True>: store tabs as wide characters. B<False>: interpret tabs as cursor |
968 |
movement only; option C<-ptab>. |
969 |
|
970 |
=item B<cursorBlink:> I<boolean> |
971 |
|
972 |
B<True>: blink the cursor. B<False>: do not blink the cursor [default]; |
973 |
option B<-bc>. |
974 |
|
975 |
=item B<pointerBlank:> I<boolean> |
976 |
|
977 |
B<True>: blank the pointer when a key is pressed or after a set number |
978 |
of seconds of inactivity. B<False>: the pointer is always visible |
979 |
[default]. |
980 |
|
981 |
=item B<pointerColor:> I<colour> |
982 |
|
983 |
Mouse pointer foreground colour. |
984 |
|
985 |
=item B<pointerColor2:> I<colour> |
986 |
|
987 |
Mouse pointer background colour. |
988 |
|
989 |
=item B<pointerBlankDelay:> I<number> |
990 |
|
991 |
Specifies number of seconds before blanking the pointer [default 2]. Use a |
992 |
large number (e.g. C<987654321>) to effectively disable the timeout. |
993 |
|
994 |
=item B<backspacekey:> I<string> |
995 |
|
996 |
The string to send when the backspace key is pressed. If set to B<DEC> |
997 |
or unset it will send B<Delete> (code 127) or, if shifted, B<Backspace> |
998 |
(code 8) - which can be reversed with the appropriate DEC private mode |
999 |
escape sequence. |
1000 |
|
1001 |
=item B<deletekey:> I<string> |
1002 |
|
1003 |
The string to send when the delete key (not the keypad delete key) is |
1004 |
pressed. If unset it will send the sequence traditionally associated |
1005 |
with the B<Execute> key. |
1006 |
|
1007 |
=item B<cutchars:> I<string> |
1008 |
|
1009 |
The characters used as delimiters for double-click word selection |
1010 |
(whitespace delimiting is added automatically if resource is given). |
1011 |
|
1012 |
When the perl selection extension is in use (the default if compiled |
1013 |
in, see the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage), a suitable regex using these |
1014 |
characters will be created (if the resource exists, otherwise, no regex |
1015 |
will be created). In this mode, characters outside ISO-8859-1 can be used. |
1016 |
|
1017 |
When the selection extension is not used, only ISO-8859-1 characters can |
1018 |
be used. If not specified, the built-in default is used: |
1019 |
|
1020 |
B<< BACKSLASH `"'&()*,;<=>?@[]^{|} >> |
1021 |
|
1022 |
=item B<preeditType:> I<style> |
1023 |
|
1024 |
B<OverTheSpot>, B<OffTheSpot>, B<Root>; option B<-pt>. |
1025 |
|
1026 |
=item B<inputMethod:> I<name> |
1027 |
|
1028 |
I<name> of inputMethod to use; option B<-im>. |
1029 |
|
1030 |
=item B<imLocale:> I<name> |
1031 |
|
1032 |
The locale to use for opening the IM. You can use an C<LC_CTYPE> of e.g. |
1033 |
C<de_DE.UTF-8> for normal text processing but C<ja_JP.EUC-JP> for the |
1034 |
input extension to be able to input japanese characters while staying in |
1035 |
another locale; option B<-imlocale>. |
1036 |
|
1037 |
=item B<imFont:> I<fontset> |
1038 |
|
1039 |
Specify the font-set used for XIM styles C<OverTheSpot> or |
1040 |
C<OffTheSpot>. It must be a standard X font set (XLFD patterns separated |
1041 |
by commas), i.e. it's not in the same format as the other font lists used |
1042 |
in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The default will be set-up to chose *any* suitable found |
1043 |
found, preferably one or two pixels differing in size to the base font. |
1044 |
option B<-imfont>. |
1045 |
|
1046 |
=item B<tripleclickwords:> I<boolean> |
1047 |
|
1048 |
Change the meaning of triple-click selection with the left mouse |
1049 |
button. Instead of selecting a full line it will extend the selection to |
1050 |
the end of the logical line only; option B<-tcw>. |
1051 |
|
1052 |
=item B<insecure:> I<boolean> |
1053 |
|
1054 |
Enables "insecure" mode. Rxvt-unicode offers some escape sequences that |
1055 |
echo arbitrary strings like the icon name or the locale. This could be |
1056 |
abused if somebody gets 8-bit-clean access to your display, whether |
1057 |
through a mail client displaying mail bodies unfiltered or through |
1058 |
write(1) or any other means. Therefore, these sequences are disabled by |
1059 |
default. (Note that many other terminals, including xterm, have these |
1060 |
sequences enabled by default, which doesn't make it safer, though). |
1061 |
|
1062 |
You can enable them by setting this boolean resource or specifying |
1063 |
B<-insecure> as an option. At the moment, this enables display-answer, |
1064 |
locale, findfont, icon label and window title requests. |
1065 |
|
1066 |
=item B<modifier:> I<modifier> |
1067 |
|
1068 |
Set the key to be interpreted as the Meta key to: B<alt>, B<meta>, |
1069 |
B<hyper>, B<super>, B<mod1>, B<mod2>, B<mod3>, B<mod4>, B<mod5>; option |
1070 |
B<-mod>. |
1071 |
|
1072 |
=item B<answerbackString:> I<string> |
1073 |
|
1074 |
Specify the reply rxvt-unicode sends to the shell when an ENQ (control-E) |
1075 |
character is passed through. It may contain escape values as described |
1076 |
in the entry on B<keysym> following. |
1077 |
|
1078 |
=item B<secondaryScreen:> I<boolean> |
1079 |
|
1080 |
Turn on/off secondary screen (default enabled). |
1081 |
|
1082 |
=item B<secondaryScroll:> I<boolean> |
1083 |
|
1084 |
Turn on/off secondary screen scroll (default enabled). If this |
1085 |
option is enabled, scrolls on the secondary screen will change the |
1086 |
scrollback buffer and switching to/from the secondary screen will |
1087 |
instead scroll the screen up. |
1088 |
|
1089 |
=item B<hold>: I<boolean> |
1090 |
|
1091 |
Turn on/off hold window after exit support. If enabled, @@RXVT_NAME@@ |
1092 |
will not immediately destroy its window when the program executed within |
1093 |
it exits. Instead, it will wait till it is being killed or closed by the |
1094 |
user. |
1095 |
|
1096 |
=item B<keysym.>I<sym>: I<string> |
1097 |
|
1098 |
Compile I<frills>: Associate I<string> with keysym I<sym>. The |
1099 |
intervening resource name B<keysym.> cannot be omitted. |
1100 |
|
1101 |
The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be |
1102 |
any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, |
1103 |
B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, |
1104 |
and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>, B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, |
1105 |
B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. |
1106 |
|
1107 |
The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to |
1108 |
whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr |
1109 |
keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the |
1110 |
current application keymap mode state. |
1111 |
|
1112 |
The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or |
1113 |
searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and |
1114 |
omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex |
1115 |
keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not |
1116 |
performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured. |
1117 |
|
1118 |
I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal |
1119 |
number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. |
1120 |
|
1121 |
You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
1122 |
with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' |
1123 |
should be a character not used by the strings. |
1124 |
|
1125 |
Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: |
1126 |
|
1127 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> |
1128 |
|
1129 |
The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: |
1130 |
|
1131 |
URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> |
1132 |
URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b> |
1133 |
URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c> |
1134 |
|
1135 |
If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> |
1136 |
is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |
1137 |
example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> |
1138 |
when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |
1139 |
|
1140 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 |
1141 |
|
1142 |
If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> |
1143 |
is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) |
1144 |
manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via |
1145 |
C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events: |
1146 |
|
1147 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 |
1148 |
|
1149 |
Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
1150 |
will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
1151 |
no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
1152 |
means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
1153 |
definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
1154 |
mappings themselves. |
1155 |
|
1156 |
Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
1157 |
if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |
1158 |
C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the |
1159 |
user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: |
1160 |
|
1161 |
URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
1162 |
URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
1163 |
|
1164 |
The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination |
1165 |
of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
1166 |
C<Shift-Insert>. |
1167 |
|
1168 |
The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
1169 |
the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
1170 |
font-switching at runtime: |
1171 |
|
1172 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
1173 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
1174 |
|
1175 |
Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more |
1176 |
info): |
1177 |
|
1178 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t |
1179 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t |
1180 |
|
1181 |
=item B<perl-ext-common>: I<string> |
1182 |
|
1183 |
=item B<perl-ext>: I<string> |
1184 |
|
1185 |
Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: C<default>) to |
1186 |
use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>. |
1187 |
|
1188 |
Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using |
1189 |
them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded |
1190 |
by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For |
1191 |
example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except |
1192 |
C<selection>. |
1193 |
|
1194 |
Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets |
1195 |
(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for |
1196 |
searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension |
1197 |
multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to |
1198 |
the extension. |
1199 |
|
1200 |
Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |
1201 |
necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. |
1202 |
|
1203 |
If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl |
1204 |
interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that |
1205 |
B<perl-ext-common> will be used for extensions that should be available to |
1206 |
all instances, while B<perl-ext> is used for specific instances. |
1207 |
|
1208 |
=item B<perl-eval>: I<string> |
1209 |
|
1210 |
Perl code to be evaluated when all extensions have been registered. See |
1211 |
the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage. Due to security reasons, this resource |
1212 |
will be ignored when running setuid/setgid. |
1213 |
|
1214 |
=item B<perl-lib>: I<path> |
1215 |
|
1216 |
Colon-separated list of additional directories that hold extension |
1217 |
scripts. When looking for extensions specified by the C<perl> resource, |
1218 |
@@RXVT_NAME@@ will first look in these directories and then in |
1219 |
F<@@RXVT_LIBDIR@@/urxvt/perl/>. Due to security reasons, this resource |
1220 |
will be ignored when running setuid/setgid. |
1221 |
|
1222 |
See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage. |
1223 |
|
1224 |
=item B<< selection.pattern-I<idx> >>: I<perl-regex> |
1225 |
|
1226 |
Additional selection patterns, see the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage for |
1227 |
details. |
1228 |
|
1229 |
=item B<< selection-autotransform.I<idx> >>: I<perl-transform> |
1230 |
|
1231 |
Selection auto-transform patterns, see the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage |
1232 |
for details. |
1233 |
|
1234 |
=item B<searchable-scrollback:> I<keysym> |
1235 |
|
1236 |
Sets the hotkey that starts the incremental scrollback buffer search |
1237 |
(default: C<M-s>). |
1238 |
|
1239 |
=item B<urlLauncher>: I<string> |
1240 |
|
1241 |
Specifies the program to be started with a URL argument. Used by the |
1242 |
C<selection-popup> and C<matcher> perl extensions. |
1243 |
|
1244 |
=item B<transient-for>: I<windowid> |
1245 |
|
1246 |
Compile I<frills>: Sets the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property to the given window id. |
1247 |

=head1 THE SCROLLBAR |
1260 |
|
1261 |
Lines of text that scroll off the top of the B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> window |
1262 |
(resource: B<saveLines>) and can be scrolled back using the scrollbar |
1263 |
or by keystrokes. The normal B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> scrollbar has arrows and |
1264 |
its behaviour is fairly intuitive. The B<xterm-scrollbar> is without |
1265 |
arrows and its behaviour mimics that of I<xterm> |
1266 |
|
1267 |
Scroll down with B<Button1> (B<xterm-scrollbar>) or B<Shift-Next>. |
1268 |
Scroll up with B<Button3> (B<xterm-scrollbar>) or B<Shift-Prior>. |

Continuous scroll with B<Button2>. |

=head1 MOUSE REPORTING |
1272 |
|
1273 |
To temporarily override mouse reporting, for either the scrollbar or |
1274 |
the normal text selection/insertion, hold either the Shift or the Meta |
1275 |
(Alt) key while performing the desired mouse action. |
1276 |
|
1277 |
If mouse reporting mode is active, the normal scrollbar actions are |
1278 |
disabled -- on the assumption that we are using a fullscreen |
1279 |
application. Instead, pressing Button1 and Button3 sends B<ESC [ 6 ~> |
1280 |
(Next) and B<ESC [ 5 ~> (Prior), respectively. Similarly, clicking on the |
1281 |
up and down arrows sends B<ESC [ A> (Up) and B<ESC [ B> (Down), |
1282 |
respectively. |

=head1 THE SELECTION: SELECTING AND PASTING TEXT |
1285 |

1298 |
|
1299 |
Starting a selection while pressing the B<Meta> key (or B<Meta+Ctrl> keys) |
1300 |
(Compile: I<frills>) will create a rectangular selection instead of a |
1301 |
normal one. In this mode, every selected row becomes its own line in the |
1302 |
selection, and trailing whitespace is visually underlined and removed from |
1303 |
the selection. |
1304 |

1305 |
=item B<Pasting>: |
1306 |
|
1307 |
Pressing and releasing the Middle mouse button in an B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> |
1308 |
window causes the value of the PRIMARY selection (or CLIPBOARD with the |
1309 |
B<Meta> modifier) to be inserted as if it had been typed on the keyboard. |
1310 |
|

Pressing B<Shift-Insert> causes the value of the PRIMARY selection to be |
1312 |
inserted too. |

=head1 CHANGING FONTS |
1317 |
|
1318 |
Changing fonts (or font sizes, respectively) via the keypad is not yet |
1319 |
supported in rxvt-unicode. Bug me if you need this. |
1320 |
|
1321 |
You can, however, switch fonts at runtime using escape sequences, e.g.: |
1322 |
|
1323 |
printf '\e]710;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
1324 |
|
1325 |
You can use keyboard shortcuts, too: |
1326 |
|
1327 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]710;suxuseuro\007\033]711;suxuseuro\007 |
1328 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007 |
1329 |
|
1330 |
rxvt-unicode will automatically re-apply these fonts to the output so far. |
1331 |
|
1332 |
=head1 ISO 14755 SUPPORT |
1333 |
|
1334 |
ISO 14755 is a standard for entering and viewing unicode characters |
1335 |
and character codes using the keyboard. It consists of 4 parts. The |
1336 |
first part is available if rxvt-unicode has been compiled with |
1337 |
C<--enable-frills>, the rest is available when rxvt-unicode was compiled |
1338 |
with C<--enable-iso14755>. |
1339 |
|
1340 |
=over 4 |
1341 |
|
1342 |
=item * 5.1: Basic method |
1343 |
|
1344 |
This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode. |
1345 |
|
1346 |
Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter |
1347 |
hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will |
1348 |
commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down |
1349 |
C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing |
1350 |
C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new |
1351 |
one. |
1352 |
|
1353 |
As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail |
1354 |
address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail |
1355 |
address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily |
1356 |
by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>, |
1357 |
followed by releasing the modifier keys. |
1358 |
|
1359 |
=item * 5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method |
1360 |
|
1361 |
This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of |
1362 |
your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding. |
1363 |
|
1364 |
Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing |
1365 |
them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not |
1366 |
invoke its usual function but instead will insert the corresponding |
1367 |
keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been |
1368 |
released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for |
1369 |
C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a |
1370 |
reverse tab (Shift-Tab). |
1371 |
|
1372 |
=item * 5.3: Screen-selection entry method |
1373 |
|
1374 |
While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection |
1375 |
mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map. |
1376 |
|
1377 |
=item * 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input |
1378 |
|
1379 |
This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with |
1380 |
characters already displayed. |
1381 |
|
1382 |
You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then |
1383 |
pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode |
1384 |
hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the |
1385 |
pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>. |
1386 |
|
1387 |
In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this |
1388 |
character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with |
1389 |
combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will |
1390 |
always be drawn using the built-in support font. |

B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> tries to write an entry into the I<utmp>(5) file so that |
1400 |
it can be seen via the I<who(1)> command, and can accept messages. To |
1401 |
allow this feature, B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> may need to be installed setuid root |

=head1 COLORS AND GRAPHICS |
1405 |
|
1406 |
In addition to the default foreground and background colours, |
1407 |
B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> can display up to 16 colours (8 ANSI colours plus |
1408 |
high-intensity bold/blink versions of the same). Here is a list of the |
1409 |
colours with their names. |
1410 |
|
1411 |
=begin table |
1412 |
|
1413 |
B<color0> (black) = Black |
1414 |
B<color1> (red) = Red3 |
1415 |
B<color2> (green) = Green3 |
1416 |
B<color3> (yellow) = Yellow3 |
1417 |
B<color4> (blue) = Blue3 |
1418 |
B<color5> (magenta) = Magenta3 |
1419 |
B<color6> (cyan) = Cyan3 |
1420 |
B<color7> (white) = AntiqueWhite |
1421 |
B<color8> (bright black) = Grey25 |
1422 |
B<color9> (bright red) = Red |
1423 |
B<color10> (bright green) = Green |
1424 |
B<color11> (bright yellow) = Yellow |
1425 |
B<color12> (bright blue) = Blue |
1426 |
B<color13> (bright magenta) = Magenta |
1427 |
B<color14> (bright cyan) = Cyan |
1428 |
B<color15> (bright white) = White |
1429 |
B<foreground> = Black |
1430 |
B<background> = White |
1431 |
|
1432 |
=end table |
1433 |
|
1434 |
It is also possible to specify the colour values of B<foreground>, |
1435 |
B<background>, B<cursorColor>, B<cursorColor2>, B<colorBD>, B<colorUL> as |
1436 |
a number 0-15, as a convenient shorthand to reference the colour name of |
1437 |
color0-color15. |
1438 |
|
1439 |
In addition to the colours defined above, @@RXVT_NAME@@ offers an |
1440 |
additional 72 colours. The first 64 of those (with indices 16 to 79) |
1441 |
consist of a 4*4*4 RGB colour cube (i.e. I<index = r * 16 + g * 4 + b + |
1442 |
16>), followed by 8 additional shades of gray (with indices 80 to 87). |
1443 |
|
1444 |
Together, all those colours implement the 88 colour xterm colours. Only |
1445 |
the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the rest can only |
1446 |
be changed via command sequences ("escape codes"). |
1447 |
|
1448 |
Note that B<-rv> (B<"reverseVideo: True">) simulates reverse video by |
1449 |
always swapping the foreground/background colours. This is in contrast to |
1450 |
I<xterm>(1) where the colours are only swapped if they have not otherwise |
1451 |
been specified. For example, |
1452 |
|
1453 |
=over 4 |
1454 |
|
1455 |
=item B<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fg Black -bg White -rv> |
1456 |
|
1457 |
would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black |
1458 |
on White. |
1459 |
|
1460 |
=back |
1461 |
|
1462 |
=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT |
1463 |
|
1464 |
If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |
1465 |
their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> |
1466 |
(recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications, |
1467 |
in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component |
1468 |
specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely |
1469 |
transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where |
1470 |
C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of |
1471 |
the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy |
1472 |
opaque. |
1473 |
|
1474 |
You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that |
1475 |
your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting |
1476 |
ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
1477 |
|
1478 |
For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red |
1479 |
background, and an almost opaque pink foreground: |
1480 |
|
1481 |
@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/aaaa -fg "[80]pink" |

the colour code used as default foreground/text colour (or the string |
1508 |
C<default> to indicate that the default-colour escape sequence is to be |
1509 |
used), C<bg> is the colour code used as default background colour (or the |
1510 |
string C<default>), and C<xpm> is the string C<default> if @@RXVT_NAME@@ |
1511 |
was compiled with background image support. Libraries like C<ncurses> |
