|
|
474 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
475 | |
|
|
476 | Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
477 | shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it |
|
|
478 | quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
479 | create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone. |
|
|
480 | |
|
|
481 | The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits. |
|
|
482 | |
|
|
483 | It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file |
|
|
484 | descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you |
|
|
485 | can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
486 | terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or |
|
|
487 | not. |
|
|
488 | |
|
|
489 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
490 | used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>): |
|
|
491 | |
|
|
492 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
493 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
494 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
495 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
496 | }); |

|
497 | |
|
|
498 | =item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor> |
|
|
499 | |
|
|
500 | Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty |
|
|
501 | pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is |
|
|
502 | useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
503 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
504 | |
|
|
505 | If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp |
|
|
506 | entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
507 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
508 | |
|
|
509 | As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress |
|
|
510 | pty/tty operations. |
|
|
511 | |
|
|
512 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a |
|
|
513 | longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>): |
|
|
514 | |
|
|
515 | use IO::Pty; |
|

|
|
517 | |

|
|
520 | system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&"; |
|
|
521 | close $pty; |
|
|
522 | |
|
|
523 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|
524 | my $slave = $pty->slave; |
|
|
525 | while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" } |

|

767 | the iso8859-1 version of the second font), which is the base font (because |
|
|
768 | it is named first) and thus defines the character cell grid to be 9 pixels |
|
|
769 | wide and 15 pixels high. |
|
|
770 | |

|
771 | The second font is just used to add additional unicode characters not in |

773 | the bold version of the font does contain less characters, so this is a |
|
|
774 | useful supplement. |
|
|
775 | |
|
|
776 | The third font is an Xft font with aliasing turned off, and the characters |
|
|
777 | are limited to the B<JIS 0208> codeset (i.e. japanese kanji). The font |
|
|
778 | contains other characters, but we are not interested in them. |

738 | omitted. This resource is only available when compiled with |
1099 | |
739 | KEYSYM_RESOURCE. |
1100 | The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be |
|
|
1101 | any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, |
|
|
1102 | B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, |
|
|
1103 | and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>, B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, |
|
|
1104 | B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. |
|
|
1105 | |
|
|
1106 | The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to |
|
|
1107 | whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr |
|
|
1108 | keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the |
|
|
1109 | current application keymap mode state. |
|
|
1110 | |
|
|
1111 | The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or |
|
|
1112 | searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and |
|
|
1113 | omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex |
|
|
1114 | keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not |
|
|
1115 | performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured. |
|
|
1116 | |
|
|
1117 | I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal |
|
|
1118 | number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. |
|
|
1119 | |
|
|
1120 | You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
|
|
1121 | with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' |
|
|
1122 | should be a character not used by the strings. |
|
|
1123 | |
|
|
1124 | Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: |
|
|
1125 | |
|
|
1126 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> |
|
|
1127 | |
|
|
1128 | The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: |
|
|
1129 | |
|
|
1130 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> |
|
|
1131 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b> |
|
|
1132 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c> |
|
|
1133 | |
|
|
1134 | If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
1135 | is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |
|
|
1136 | example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> |
|
|
1137 | when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |
|
|
1138 | |
|
|
1139 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 |
|
|
1140 | |
|
|
1141 | If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
1142 | is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) |
|
|
1143 | manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via |
|
|
1144 | C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events: |
|
|
1145 | |
|
|
1146 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 |
|
|
1147 | |
|
|
1148 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
|
|
1149 | will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
|
|
1150 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
|
|
1151 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
|
|
1152 | definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
|
|
1153 | mappings themselves. |
|
|
1154 | |
|
|
1155 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
1156 | if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s |
|
|
1157 | C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the |
|
|
1158 | user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: |
|
|
1159 | |
|
|
1160 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
1161 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
1162 | |
|
|
1163 | The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination |
|
|
1164 | of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
|
|
1165 | C<Shift-Insert>. |
|
|
1166 | |
|
|
1167 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
|
|
1168 | the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
|
|
1169 | font-switching at runtime: |
|
|
1170 | |
|
|
1171 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
|
|
1172 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
|
|
1173 | |
|
|
1174 | Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more |
|
|
1175 | info): |
|
|
1176 | |

|
1177 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t |

1186 | |
|
|
1187 | Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using |
|
|
1188 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded |
|
|
1189 | by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For |
|
|
1190 | example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except |
|
|
1191 | C<selection>. |
|
|
1192 | |
|
|
1193 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets |
|
|
1194 | (e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for |
|
|
1195 | searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension |
|
|
1196 | multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to |
|
|
1197 | the extension. |
|
|
1198 | |
|

|
1463 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |
|
|
1464 | their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> |
|
|
1465 | (recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications, |
|
|
1466 | in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component |
|
|
1467 | specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely |
|
|
1468 | transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where |
|
|
1469 | C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of |
|
|
1470 | the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy |
|
|
1471 | opaque. |

1473 | You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that |

|
|

967 | B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |

972 | @@RXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
1538 | Default F<<< $HOME/.rxvt-unicode-I<< <nodename >> >>>. |
973 | |
1539 | |

982 | =item Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
1546 | =item B<XAPPLRESDIR> |
983 | |
1547 | |
984 | This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
1548 | Directory where various X resource files are being located. |
985 | rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output |
|
|
986 | is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode |
|
|
987 | first sees a japanese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
|
|
988 | it. Subseqzuent japanese characters will take that font. Now, many chinese |
|
|
989 | characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
|
|
990 | non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
|
|
991 | -- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
|
|
992 | japanese characters that are also chinese. |
|
|
993 | |
1549 | |
994 | The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
1550 | =item B<XENVIRONMENT> |
995 | list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
|
|
996 | a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
|
|
997 | first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first. |
|
|
998 | |
1551 | |
999 | In the future it might be possible to switch preferences at runtime (the |
1552 | If set and accessible, gives the name of a X resource file to be loaded by |
1000 | internal data structure has no problem with using different fonts for |

|
|
1002 | designed yet). |

|
1004 | =item How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |
|
|
1005 | |
|
|
1006 | =item Is there an option to switch encodings? |
|
|
1007 | |
|
|
1008 | Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
|
|
1009 | specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
|
|
1010 | UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O. |
|
|
1011 | |
|
|
1012 | The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
|
|
1013 | the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
|
|
1014 | applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width and |
|
|
1015 | code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>. |
|
|
1016 | |
|
|
1017 | Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All |
|
|
1018 | programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
|
|
1019 | interpretation of characters. |
|
|
1020 | |
|
|
1021 | Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
|
|
1022 | is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
|
|
1023 | |
|
|
1024 | On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable |
|
|
1025 | contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
|
|
1026 | locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>, |
|
|
1027 | C<ja_JP.EUC-JP>, i.e. C<language_country.encoding>, but other forms |
|
|
1028 | (i.e. C<de> or C<german>) are also common. |
|
|
1029 | |
|
|
1030 | Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
|
|
1031 | the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
|
|
1032 | i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the same for rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
1033 | |
|
|
1034 | If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |
|
|
1035 | rxvt-unicode with the correct C<LC_CTYPE> category. |
|
|
1036 | |
|
|
1037 | =item Can I switch locales at runtime? |
|
|
1038 | |
|
|
1039 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which sets |
|
|
1040 | rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>. |
|
|

|
1043 | |
|
|
1044 | See also the previous question. |
|
|
1045 | |
|
|
1046 | Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in one |
|
|
1047 | locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support UTF-8. For |
|
|
1048 | example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which first switches to a |

|
1049 | locale supported by xjdic and back later: |

|
|
1056 | |
|
|
1057 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which has the same |
|
|
1058 | effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately: |
|
|
1059 | |
|

1060 | printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |

|
|
1062 | This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
|
|
1063 | japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
|
|
1064 | japanese fonts would only be in your way. |
|
|
1065 | |
|

1066 | You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching. |

1076 | =item What's with this bold/blink stuff? |
|
|
1077 | |
|
|
1078 | If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the |
|
|
1079 | standard foreground colour. |
|
|
1080 | |
|
|
1081 | For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the |
|
|
1082 | text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard |
|
|
1083 | colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be |
|
|
1084 | ignored. |
|
|
1085 | |
|
|
1086 | On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity |
|
|
1087 | foreground/background colors. |
|
|
1088 | |
|
|
1089 | color0-7 are the low-intensity colors. |
|
|
1090 | |
|
|
1091 | color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors. |

1119 | =item What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour? |
|
|
1120 | |
|
|
1121 | Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
|
|
1122 | BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
|
|
1123 | question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
|
|
1124 | Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>. |
|
|
1125 | |
|
|
1126 | Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian |
|
|
1127 | policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct |
|
|
1128 | choice :). |
|
|
1129 | |
|
|
1130 | Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value |
|
|
1131 | of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't |
|
|
1132 | started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the |
|
|
1133 | system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will |
|
|
1134 | be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting). |
|
|
1135 | |
|
|
1136 | For starting a new rxvt-unicode: |
|
|
1137 | |
|
|
1138 | # use Backspace = ^H |
|
|
1139 | $ stty erase ^H |
|
|

1148 | For an existing rxvt-unicode: |
|

1149 | |

1155 | $ stty erase ^? |
|
|
1156 | $ echo -n "^[[36l" |
|
|
1157 | |
|
|
1158 | This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |
|
|
1159 | if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |
|
|
1160 | properly reflects that. |
|
|
1161 | |
|
|
1162 | The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem. |
|
|
1163 | To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete |
|
|
1164 | key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute |
|
|
1165 | (ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo. |
|
|
1166 | |
|
|
1167 | Some other Backspace problems: |
|
|
1168 | |
|
|
1169 | some editors use termcap/terminfo, |
|
|
1170 | some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H, |
|
|
1171 | GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help. |
|
|
1172 | |
|
|
1173 | Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner. |
|
|
1174 | |
|
|
1175 | =item I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them? |
|
|
1176 | |
|
|
1177 | There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless |
|
|
1178 | you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can |
|
|
1179 | use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysym |
|
|
1180 | 0xFF00 - 0xFFFF (function, cursor keys, etc). |
|
|
1181 | |

1223 | =item I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys. |
|
|
1224 | How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4 |
|
|
1225 | has the following mappings that rxvt-unicode doesn't recognize. |
|
|
1226 | |
|
|
1227 | KP_Insert == Insert |
|
|
1228 | F22 == Print |
|
|
1229 | F27 == Home |
|
|
1230 | F29 == Prior |
|
|
1231 | F33 == End |
|
|
1232 | F35 == Next |
|
|
1233 | |
|
|
1234 | Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accomodate all the various possible keyboard |
|
|
1235 | mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as required for |
|
|
1236 | your particular machine. |

1238 | =item How do I distinguish if I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? |
|
|
1239 | I need this to decide about setting colors etc. |
|
|
1240 | |
|
|
1241 | rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you can |
|
|
1242 | check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, slrn, |
|
|
1243 | Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or |
|
|
1244 | not to use color. |

|
1246 | =item How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable? |
|
|
1247 | |
|
|
1248 | If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and ahve enabled |
|
|
1249 | insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
|
|
1250 | snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
|
|
1251 | wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then |
|
|
1252 | the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a |
|
|
1253 | regular xterm. |
