417
418Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
419shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
420quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
421create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
422
423The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
424
425It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
426descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
427can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
428terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
429not.
430
431Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
432used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
433
434 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
435 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
436 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

441
442Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
443pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
444useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
445without having to run a program within it.
446
447If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
448entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
449yourself if you want that.
450
451As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
452pty/tty operations.
453
454Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
455longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
456
457 use IO::Pty;
458 use Fcntl;
459
460 my $pty = new IO::Pty;

661the iso8859-1 version of the second font), which is the base font (because
662it is named first) and thus defines the character cell grid to be 9 pixels
663wide and 15 pixels high.
664
665The second font is just used to add additional unicode characters not in
666the base font, likewise the third, which is unfortunately non-bold, but
667the bold version of the font does contain less characters, so this is a
668useful supplement.

671are limited to the B<JIS 0208> codeset (i.e. japanese kanji). The font

1016The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1017
1018 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
1019 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
1020 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
1021
1022If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1023is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
1024example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1025when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1026
1027 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1028
1029If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1030is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1031manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1032C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1033
1034 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1035
1036Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1037will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1038no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1039means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1040definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1041mappings themselves.
1042
1043Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1044if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1045C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1046user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1047
1048 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1049 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1050
1051The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1052of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1053C<Shift-Insert>.
1054
1055The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1056the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1057font-switching at runtime:
1058
1059 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1060 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1061

1063info):

1075Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1076them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1077by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1078example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1079C<selection>.
1080
1081Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1082(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1083searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1084multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1085the extension.

982=item Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? 1386The unix domain socket path used by @@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) and
1387@@RXVT_NAME@@d(1).
983 1388
984This is because there is a difference between script and language -- 1389Default F<<< $HOME/.rxvt-unicode-I<< <nodename >> >>>.
985rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output
986is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode
987first sees a japanese character, it might choose a japanese font for
988it. Subseqzuent japanese characters will take that font. Now, many chinese
989characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
990non-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
992japanese characters that are also chinese.
993 1390
994The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font 1391=item B<HOME>
995list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
996a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
997first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.

1012The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting 1403If set and accessible, gives the name of a X resource file to be loaded by
1013the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
1014applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width and
1015code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>.
1016
1017Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All
1018programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
1019interpretation of characters.
1020
1021Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
1022is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.
1023
1024On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable
1025contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
1026locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>,
1027C<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
1030Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
1031the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
1032i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the same for rxvt-unicode.
1033
1034If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start
1035rxvt-unicode with the correct C<LC_CTYPE> category.
1036
1037=item Can I switch locales at runtime?
1038
1039Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which sets
1040rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>.
1041
1042 printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS
1043
1044See also the previous question.
1045
1046Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in one
1047locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support UTF-8. For
1048example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which first switches to a
1049locale supported by xjdic and back later:
1050
1051 printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS
1052 xjdic -js
1053 printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8
1054
1055=item Can I switch the fonts at runtime?
1056
1057Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which has the same
1058effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately:
1059
1060 printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic"
1061
1062This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a
1063japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where
1064japanese fonts would only be in your way.
1065
1066You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching.
1067
1068=item Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works.
1069
1070Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing
1071some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've
1072heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A
1073quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are
1074depressed. See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7)
1075
1076=item What's with this bold/blink stuff?
1077
1078If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the
1079standard foreground colour.
1080
1081For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the
1082text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard
1083colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be
1084ignored.
1085
1086On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity
1087foreground/background colors.
1088
1089color0-7 are the low-intensity colors.
1090
1091color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors.
1092
1093=item I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them?
1094
1095You can change the screen colors at run-time using F<~/.Xdefaults>
1096resources (or as long-options).
1097
1098Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen,
1099including the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow:
1100
1101 Rxvt*color0: #000000
1102 Rxvt*color1: #A80000
1103 Rxvt*color2: #00A800
1104 Rxvt*color3: #A8A800
1105 Rxvt*color4: #0000A8
1106 Rxvt*color5: #A800A8
1107 Rxvt*color6: #00A8A8
1108 Rxvt*color7: #A8A8A8
1109
1110 Rxvt*color8: #000054
1111 Rxvt*color9: #FF0054
1112 Rxvt*color10: #00FF54
1113 Rxvt*color11: #FFFF54
1114 Rxvt*color12: #0000FF
1115 Rxvt*color13: #FF00FF
1116 Rxvt*color14: #00FFFF
1117 Rxvt*color15: #FFFFFF
1118
1119=item What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?
1120
1121Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
1122BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
1123question) there are two standard values that can be used for
1124Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>.
1125
1126Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
1127policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
1128choice :).
1129
1130Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
1131of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
1132started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
1133system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will
1134be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).
1135
1136For starting a new rxvt-unicode:
1137
1138 # use Backspace = ^H
1139 $ stty erase ^H
1140 $ @@RXVT_NAME@@ 1404@@RXVT_NAME@@.
1141
1142 # use Backspace = ^?
1143 $ stty erase ^?
1144 $ @@RXVT_NAME@@
1145
1146Toggle with "ESC[36h" / "ESC[36l" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7).
1147
1148For an existing rxvt-unicode:
1149
1150 # use Backspace = ^H
1151 $ stty erase ^H
1152 $ echo -n "^[[36h"
1153
1154 # use Backspace = ^?
1155 $ stty erase ^?
1156 $ echo -n "^[[36l"
1157
1158This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
1159if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
1160properly reflects that.
1161
1162The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
1163To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
1164key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
1165(ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.
1166
1167Some other Backspace problems:
1168
1169some editors use termcap/terminfo,
1170some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
1171GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.
1172
1173Perhaps 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
1177There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless
1178you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can
1179use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysym
11800xFF00 - 0xFFFF (function, cursor keys, etc).
1181
1182Here's an example for a tn3270 session started using `@@RXVT_NAME@@ -name tn3270'
1183
1184 !# ----- special uses ------:
1185 ! tn3270 login, remap function and arrow keys.

1222
1223=item I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys.
1224How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4
1225has 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
1234Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accomodate all the various possible keyboard
1235mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as required for
1236your particular machine.
1237
1238=item How do I distinguish if I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm?
1239I need this to decide about setting colors etc.
1240
1241rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you can
1242check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, slrn,
1243Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or
1244not to use color.
1245
1246=item How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable?
1247
1248If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and ahve enabled
1249insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script
1250snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode
1251wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then
1252the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a
1253regular xterm.
