		24	=head1 RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT
		25
		26	Unlike the original rxvt, B<rxvt-unicode> stores all text in Unicode
		27	internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
		28	world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
		29	especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
		30	like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
		31	like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
		32	scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
		33	fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are left-to-right scripts, such
		34	as hebrew: B<rxvt-unicode> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms
		35	belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things --
		36	such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might
		37	change.
		38
		39	If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let
		40	me recommend C<mlterm>, which is a very userfriendly, lean and clean
		41	terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
		42	because the author couldn't get C<mlterm> to use one font for latin1 and
		43	another for japanese.
		44
		45	Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
		46	display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other
		47	programs force onto it's users never made sense to me: You should be able
		48	to choose any font for any script freely.
		49
		50	Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than
		51	it's predecessor, supports things such as XFT and ISO 14755 that are handy
		52	in i18n-environments, is faster, and has a lot less bugs than the original
		53	rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements.
		54
		55	It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean
		56	and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode
		57	without most of it's features to get a lean binary. It also comes with
		58	a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows
		59	from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and
		60	drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and
		61	@@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) (client).
		62
		63	It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have
		64	been extended) easier accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical
		65	reference documentation (escape sequences etc.).

		962
		963	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		964
		965	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		966	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		967	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		968	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		969	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		970	mappings themselves.
		971
		972	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		973	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		974	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		975	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		976
		977	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		978	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		979
		980	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		981	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		982	C<Shift-Insert>.
		983
		984	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		985	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		986	font-switching at runtime:
		987
		988	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		989	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		990
		991	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		992	info):

		1077	Start by pressing and holding both C<Control> and C<Shift>, then enter
		1078	hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing C<Control> and C<Shift> will
		1079	commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
		1080	C<Control> and C<Shift> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
		1081	C<Space>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new
		1082	one.
		1083
		1084	As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail
		1085	address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail
		1086	address printed as hexcodes, e.g. C<671d 65e5>. You can enter this easily
		1087	by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift>, followed by C<6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5>,

		1095	Start by pressing C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then releasing
		1096	them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not
		1097	invoke it's usual function but instead will insert the corresponding
		1098	keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been
		1099	released, otherwise pressing e.g. C<Shift> would enter the symbol for
		1100	C<ISO Level 2 Switch>, although your intention might have been to enter a
		1101	reverse tab (Shift-Tab).
		1102
		1103	=item * 5.3: Screen-selection entry method
		1104
		1105	While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection
		1106	mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map.
		1107
		1108	=item * 5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input
		1109
		1110	This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with
		1111	characters already displayed.
		1112
		1113	You enter this mode by holding down C<Control> and C<Shift> together, then
		1114	pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode
		1115	hex code(s) (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
		1116	pointer is displayed until you release C<Control> and C<Shift>.
		1117
		1118	In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
		1119	character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with
		1120	combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will
		1121	always be drawn using the built-in support font.
