=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. |

=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.). |

=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'. |
83 |
|
84 |
The following options are available: |

|
166 |
Select the fonts to be used. This is a comma separated list of font names |
167 |
that are used in turn when trying to display Unicode characters. The |
168 |
first font defines the cell size for characters; other fonts might be |
169 |
smaller, but not (in general) larger. A (hopefully) reasonable default |
170 |
font list is always appended to it. See resource B<font> for more details. |
171 |
|
172 |
In short, to specify an X11 core font, just specify it's name or prefix it |
173 |
with C<x:>. To specify an XFT-font, you need to prefix it with C<xft:>, |
174 |
e.g.: |

=head1 RESOURCES (available also as long-options) |
386 |
|
387 |
Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ --help' gives a list of all resources (long |
388 |
options) compiled into your version. |
389 |
|
390 |
There are two different methods that @@RXVT_NAME@@ can use to get the |
391 |
Xresource data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal |
392 |
Xresources reader (B<~/.Xdefaults>). For the first method (ie. |
393 |
B<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -h> lists B<XGetDefaults>), you can set and change the |
394 |
resources using X11 tools like B<xrdb>. Many distribution do also load |
395 |
settings from the B<~/.Xresources> file when X starts. @@RXVT_NAME@@ |
396 |
will consult the following files/resources in order, with later settings |
397 |
overwriting earlier ones: |
398 |
|
399 |
1. system-wide app-defaults file, either locale-dependent OR global |
400 |
2. app-defaults file in $XAPPLRESDIR |
401 |
3. RESOURCE_MANAGER property on root-window OR $HOME/.Xdefaults |
402 |
4. SCREEN_RESOURCES for the current screen |
403 |
5. $XENVIRONMENT file OR $HOME/.Xdefaults-<nodename> |
404 |
|
405 |
If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. B<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -h> |
406 |
lists B<.Xdefaults>) then B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> accepts application defaults |
407 |
set in XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually |
408 |
B</usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt>) and resources set in |
409 |
B<~/.Xdefaults>, or B<~/.Xresources> if B<~/.Xdefaults> does not exist. |
410 |
Note that when reading X resources, B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> recognizes two |
411 |
class names: B<XTerm> and B<URxvt>. The class name B<Rxvt> allows |
412 |
resources common to both B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> and the original I<rxvt> to be |
413 |
easily configured, while the class name B<URxvt> allows resources |
414 |
unique to B<@@RXVT_NAME@@>, notably colours and key-handling, to be |
415 |
shared between different B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> configurations. If no |
416 |
resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used. Command-line |
417 |
arguments can be used to override resource settings. The following |
418 |
resources are allowed: |
419 |

|
549 |
=item B<path:> I<path> |
550 |
|
551 |
Specify the colon-delimited search path for finding files (XPM and |
552 |
menus), in addition to the paths specified by the B<RXVTPATH> and |
553 |
B<PATH> environment variables. |
554 |
|
555 |
=item B<font:> I<fontlist> |
556 |
|
557 |
Select the fonts to be used. This is a comma separated list of font |
558 |
names that are used in turn when trying to display Unicode characters. |
559 |
The first font defines the cell size for characters; other fonts might |
560 |
be smaller, but not larger. A reasonable default font list is always |
561 |
appended to it. option B<-fn>. |
562 |
|
563 |
Each font can either be a standard X11 core font (XLFD) name, with |
564 |
optional prefix C<x:> or a Xft font (Compile I<xft>), prefixed with C<xft:>. |
565 |
|
566 |
In addition, each font can be prefixed with additional hints and |
567 |
specifications enclosed in square brackets (C<[]>). The only available |
568 |
hint currently is C<codeset=codeset-name>, and this is only used for Xft |
569 |
fonts. |
570 |
|
571 |
For example, this font resource |
572 |
|
573 |
URxvt*font: 9x15bold,\ |
574 |
-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1,\ |
575 |
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1, \ |
576 |
[codeset=JISX0208]xft:Kochi Gothic:antialias=false, \ |
577 |
xft:Code2000:antialias=false |
578 |
|
579 |
specifies five fonts to be used. The first one is C<9x15bold> (actually |
580 |
the iso8859-1 version of the second font), which is the base font (because |
581 |
it is named first) and thus defines the character cell grid to be 9 pixels |
582 |
wide and 15 pixels high. |
583 |
|
584 |
The second font is just used to add additional unicode characters not in |
585 |
the base font, likewise the third, which is unfortunately non-bold, but |
586 |
the bold version of the font does contain less characters, so this is a |
587 |
useful supplement. |
588 |
|
589 |
The third font is an Xft font with aliasing turned off, and the characters |
590 |
are limited to the B<JIS 0208> codeset (i.e. japanese kanji). The font |
591 |
contains other characters, but we are not interested in them. |
592 |
|
593 |
The last font is a useful catch-all font that supplies most of the |
594 |
remaining unicode characters. |
595 |
|
596 |
=item B<boldFont:> I<fontlist> |
597 |

603 |
italic> >> characters, respectively. |
604 |
|
605 |
If specified and non-empty, then the syntax is the same as for the |
606 |
B<font>-resource, and the given font list will be used as is, which makes |
607 |
it possible to substitute completely different font styles for bold and |
608 |
italic. |
609 |
|
610 |
If unset (the default), a suitable font list will be synthesized by |
611 |
"morphing" the normal text font list into the desired shape. If that is |
612 |
not possible, replacement fonts of the desired shape will be tried. |
613 |
|
614 |
If set, but empty, then this specific style is disabled and the normal |
615 |

830 |
throuh a mail client displaying mail bodies unfiltered or though |
831 |
write(1). Therefore, these sequences are disabled by default. (Note |

=item B<keysym.>I<sym>: I<string> |
862 |
|
863 |
Compile I<frills>: Associate I<string> with keysym I<sym>. The |
864 |
intervening resource name B<keysym.> cannot be omitted. |
865 |
|
866 |
The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be |
867 |
any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, |
868 |
B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, |
869 |
and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>, B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, |
870 |
B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. |
871 |
|
872 |
The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to |
873 |
whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr |
874 |
keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the |
875 |
current application keymap mode state. |
876 |
|
877 |
The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or |
878 |
searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and |
879 |
omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex |
880 |
keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not |
881 |
performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured. |
882 |
|
883 |
I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace, |
884 |
C<\e>, C<\E>: escape, C<\n>: newline, C<\r>: carriage return, C<\t>: tab, |
885 |
C<\000>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (C<^?>: delete, |
886 |
C<^@>: null, C<^A> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it |
887 |
can start or end with whitespace. |
888 |
|
889 |
Please note that you need to double the C<\> when using |
890 |
C<--enable-xgetdefault>, as X itself does it's own de-escaping (you can |
891 |
use C<\033> instead of C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and |
892 |
@@RXVT_NAME@@'s own processing). |
893 |
|
894 |
You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
895 |
with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/' |
896 |
should be a character not used by the strings. |
897 |
|
898 |
Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: |
899 |
|
900 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> |
901 |
|
902 |
The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: |
903 |
|
904 |
URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> |
905 |
URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b> |
906 |
URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c> |
907 |
|
908 |
If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> |
909 |
is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |
910 |
example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> |
911 |
when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |
912 |
|
913 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 |
914 |
|
915 |
The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
916 |
the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
917 |
font-switching at runtime: |
918 |
|
919 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
920 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
921 |
|
922 |
Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more |
923 |
info): |
924 |
|
925 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t |
926 |
URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t |

=head1 THE SCROLLBAR |
931 |
|
932 |
Lines of text that scroll off the top of the B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> window |
933 |
(resource: B<saveLines>) and can be scrolled back using the scrollbar |
934 |
or by keystrokes. The normal B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> scrollbar has arrows and |
935 |
its behaviour is fairly intuitive. The B<xterm-scrollbar> is without |
936 |
arrows and its behaviour mimics that of I<xterm> |
937 |
|
938 |
Scroll down with B<Button1> (B<xterm-scrollbar>) or B<Shift-Next>. |
939 |
Scroll up with B<Button3> (B<xterm-scrollbar>) or B<Shift-Prior>. |
940 |
Continuous scroll with B<Button2>. |
941 |
|
942 |
=head1 MOUSE REPORTING |
943 |
|
944 |
To temporarily override mouse reporting, for either the scrollbar or |
945 |
the normal text selection/insertion, hold either the Shift or the Meta |
946 |
(Alt) key while performing the desired mouse action. |
947 |
|
948 |
If mouse reporting mode is active, the normal scrollbar actions are |
949 |
disabled -- on the assumption that we are using a fullscreen |
950 |
application. Instead, pressing Button1 and Button3 sends B<ESC [ 6 ~> |
951 |
(Next) and B<ESC [ 5 ~> (Prior), respectively. Similarly, clicking on the |
952 |
up and down arrows sends B<ESC [ A> (Up) and B<ESC [ B> (Down), |
953 |
respectively. |
954 |
|
955 |
=head1 TEXT SELECTION AND INSERTION |
956 |
|
957 |
The behaviour of text selection and insertion mechanism is similar to |
958 |
I<xterm>(1). |

|
960 |
=over 4 |
961 |
|
962 |
=item B<Selection>: |
963 |
|
964 |
Left click at the beginning of the region, drag to the end of the region |
965 |
and release; Right click to extend the marked region; Left double-click |
966 |
to select a word; Left triple-click to select the entire logical line |
967 |
(which can span multiple screen lines), unless modified by resource |
968 |
B<tripleclickwords>. |
969 |
|
970 |
Starting a selection while pressing the B<Meta> key (or B<Meta+Ctrl> keys) |
971 |
(Compile: I<frills>) will create a rectangular selection instead of a normal |
972 |
one. |
973 |
|
974 |
=item B<Insertion>: |
975 |
|
976 |
Pressing and releasing the Middle mouse button (or B<Shift-Insert>) in |
977 |
an B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> window causes the current text selection to be |
978 |
inserted as if it had been typed on the keyboard. |

=head1 CHANGING FONTS |
983 |
|
984 |
Changing fonts (or font sizes, respectively) via the keypad is not yet |
985 |
supported in rxvt-unicode. Bug me if you need this. |
986 |
|
987 |
You can, however, switch fonts at runtime using escape sequences (and |
988 |
therefore using the menubar), e.g.: |
989 |
|
990 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
991 |
|
992 |
rxvt-unicode will automatically re-apply these fonts to the output so far. |
993 |
|
994 |
=head1 ISO 14755 SUPPORT |
995 |
|
996 |
ISO 14755 is a standard for entering and viewing unicode characters |
997 |
and character codes using the keyboard. It consists of 4 parts. The |
998 |
first part is available rxvt-unicode has been compiled with |
999 |
C<--enable-frills>, the rest is available when rxvt-unicode was compiled |
1000 |
with C<--enable-iso14755>. |
1001 |
|
1002 |
=over 4 |
1003 |
|
1004 |
=item * 5.1: Basic method |
1005 |
|
1006 |
This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode. |
1007 |
|
1008 |
Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter |
1009 |
hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will |
1010 |
commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down |
1011 |
C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing |
1012 |
C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new |
1013 |
one. |
1014 |
|
1015 |
As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail |
1016 |
address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail |
1017 |
address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily |
1018 |
by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>, |
1019 |
followed by releasing the modifier keys. |
1020 |
|
1021 |
=item * 5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method |
1022 |
|
1023 |
This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of |
1024 |
your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding. |
1025 |
|
1026 |
Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing |
1027 |
them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not |
1028 |
invoke it's usual function but instead will insert the corresponding |
1029 |
keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been |
1030 |
released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for |
1031 |
C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a |
1032 |
reverse tab (Shift-Tab). |
1033 |
|
1034 |
=item * 5.3: Screen-selection entry method |
1035 |
|
1036 |
While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection |
1037 |
mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map. |
1038 |
|
1039 |
=item * 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input |
1040 |
|
1041 |
This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with |
1042 |
characters already displayed. |
1043 |
|
1044 |
You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then |
1045 |
pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode |
1046 |
hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the |
1047 |
pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>. |
1048 |
|
1049 |
In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this |
1050 |
character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with |
1051 |
combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will |
1052 |
always be drawn using the built-in support font. |

In addition to the default foreground and background colours, |

B<color8> (bright black) = Grey25 |
1084 |
B<color9> (bright red) = Red |
1085 |
B<color10> (bright green) = Green |
1086 |
B<color11> (bright yellow) = Yellow |
1087 |
B<color12> (bright blue) = Blue |
1088 |
B<color13> (bright magenta) = Magenta |

B<color14> (bright cyan) = Cyan |

B<color15> (bright white) = White |
1091 |
B<foreground> = Black |
1092 |
B<background> = White |
1093 |
|
1094 |
=end table |
1095 |
|
1096 |
It is also possible to specify the colour values of B<foreground>, |
1097 |
B<background>, B<cursorColor>, B<cursorColor2>, B<colorBD>, B<colorUL> as |
1098 |
a number 0-15, as a convenient shorthand to reference the colour name of |
1099 |
color0-color15. |
1100 |
|
1101 |
Note that B<-rv> (B<"reverseVideo: True">) simulates reverse video by |
1102 |
always swapping the foreground/background colours. This is in contrast to |
1103 |
I<xterm>(1) where the colours are only swapped if they have not otherwise |
1104 |
been specified. For example, |
1105 |
|
1106 |
=over 4 |
1107 |
|
1108 |
=item B<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fg Black -bg White -rv> |
1109 |
|

would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black |
1111 |
