167 |
|
|
<p>Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a |
168 |
|
|
simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should |
169 |
|
|
give you tabs:</p> |
170 |

<pre> |
173 |
root |
1.60 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed</pre> |
174 |
|
|
<p>It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers |
175 |
|
|
or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be |
176 |
|
|
embedded into other programs, as witnessed by <em>doc/rxvt-tabbed</em> or |
177 |
|
|
the upcoming <code>Gtk2::URxvt</code> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt |
178 |
|
|
(murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application.</p> |

182 |
|
|
<p>The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape |
183 |
|
|
sequence <code>ESC [ 8 n</code> sets the window title to the version number. When |
184 |
root |
1.61 |
using the urxvtc client, the version displayed is that of the |

<h3><a name="rxvtunicode_uses_gobs_of_memory__how_can_i_reduce_that">Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?</a></h3> |
189 |
|
|
<p>Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you |
190 |
|
|
don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that |
191 |
|
|
you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design, |
192 |
|
|
when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded |
193 |
|
|
accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.</p> |
194 |
|
|
<p>Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger |
195 |
|
|
scrollback buffers: Without <code>--enable-unicode3</code>, rxvt-unicode will use |
196 |
|
|
6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a |
197 |
|
|
kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full) |
198 |
|
|
use 10 Megabytes of memory. With <code>--enable-unicode3</code> it gets worse, as |
199 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.</p> |

<p>The original rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable ``COLORTERM'', |
209 |
|
|
so you can check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, |
210 |
|
|
slrn, Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide |
211 |
|
|
whether or not to use color.</p> |

|
<p>If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled |
216 |
|
|
insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
217 |
|
|
snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
218 |
|
|
wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then |
219 |
|
|
the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a |
220 |
|
|
regular xterm.</p> |

<p>I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra |

<p>The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian |
264 |
|
|
encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else |
265 |
|
|
and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those |
266 |
|
|
encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ |
267 |
|
|
compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of |
268 |
|
|
memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a |
269 |
|
|
few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when |
270 |
|
|
not used.</p> |
271 |
|
|
<p>Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one, |
272 |
|
|
a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more |
273 |
|
|
memory.</p> |
274 |
|
|
<p>Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this |
275 |

still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal |

<h3><a name="why_c____isn_t_that_unportable_bloated_uncool">Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?</a></h3> |
283 |
root |
1.57 |
<p>Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had |
284 |
root |
1.28 |
to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction |
285 |
|
|
of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even |
286 |
root |
1.57 |
shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++.</p> |
287 |
root |
1.28 |
<p>My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in |
288 |
|
|
the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits |
289 |
|
|
are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix |
290 |
|
|
domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.</p> |
291 |
|
|
<p>Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs |
292 |
|
|
in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in |
293 |
|
|
C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is |
294 |
|
|
not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my |

<h3><a name="i_can_t_get_transparency_working__what_am_i_doing_wrong">I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?</a></h3> |
316 |
|
|
<p>First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so |
317 |
|
|
you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may |
318 |
|
|
bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite |
319 |
|
|
of passage: ... and you failed.</p> |
320 |
|
|
<p>Here are four ways to get transparency. <strong>Do</strong> read the manpage and option |
321 |
|
|
descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it!</p> |
322 |
|
|
<p>1. Use inheritPixmap:</p> |
323 |
|
|
<pre> |
324 |
|
|
Esetroot wallpaper.jpg |
325 |
root |
1.61 |
urxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40</pre> |
326 |
root |
1.60 |
<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting |
327 |
|
|
support, or you are unable to read.</p> |
328 |
|
|
<p>2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you |
329 |
|
|
to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever |
330 |
|
|
your picture with gimp or any other tool:</p> |
331 |
|
|
<pre> |
332 |
|
|
convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm |
333 |
root |
1.61 |
urxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre> |
334 |
root |
1.60 |
<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or you |
335 |
|
|
are unable to read.</p> |
336 |
|
|
<p>3. Use an ARGB visual:</p> |
337 |
root |
1.52 |
<pre> |
338 |
root |
1.61 |
urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc</pre> |
339 |
root |
1.60 |
<p>This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that |
340 |
|
|
doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't |
341 |
|
|
there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary |
342 |
|
|
bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that |
343 |
|
|
doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place.</p> |
344 |
|
|
<p>4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:</p> |
345 |
root |
1.52 |
<pre> |
346 |
root |
1.60 |
xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \ |
347 |
|
|
-set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000</pre> |
348 |
|
|
<p>Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace <code>0xc0000000</code> |
349 |
|
|
by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and |
350 |
|
|
your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.</p> |

<h3><a name="why_do_some_chinese_characters_look_so_different_than_others">Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?</a></h3> |
354 |
|
|
<p>This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
355 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is, |
356 |
|
|
as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first |
357 |
|
|
sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
358 |
|
|
display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many |
359 |
|
|
chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
360 |
|
|
non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
361 |
|
|
-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
362 |
|
|
chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.</p> |
363 |
|
|
<p>The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
364 |
|
|
list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
365 |
|
|
a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
366 |
|
|
first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.</p> |
367 |
|
|
<p>In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
368 |
|
|
runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different |
369 |
|
|
fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this |
370 |
|
|
has been designed yet).</p> |
371 |
|
|
<p>Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see <a href="#can_i_switch_the_fonts_at_runtime">Can I switch the fonts at runtime?</a> later in this document).</p> |

<h3><a name="why_does_rxvtunicode_sometimes_leave_pixel_droppings">Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?</a></h3> |
375 |
|
|
<p>Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character |
376 |
|
|
size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might |
377 |
|
|
contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid |
378 |
|
|
these characters. For characters that are just ``a bit'' too wide a special |
379 |
|
|
``careful'' rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.</p> |
380 |
|
|
<p>All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
381 |
|
|
however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding |
382 |
|
|
box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to |
383 |
|
|
ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these |
384 |
|
|
cases).</p> |
385 |
|
|
<p>It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, |
386 |
|
|
or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using |
387 |
|
|
the <code>-lsp</code> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you |
388 |
|
|
might be forced to use a different font.</p> |
389 |
|
|
<p>All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding |
390 |
|
|
box data is correct.</p> |

394 |
|
|
<p>First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings |
395 |
|
|
(<code>TERM=rxvt-unicode</code>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then |
396 |
|
|
make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise |
397 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect:</p> |
398 |

404 |
|
|
<p>For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird |
405 |
|
|
colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the standard |
406 |
|
|
8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of course, to fix |
407 |
|
|
these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very good reasons.</p> |
408 |
|
|
<p>In the meantime, you can either edit your <code>rxvt-unicode</code> terminfo |
409 |
|
|
definition to only claim 8 colour support or use <code>TERM=rxvt</code>, which will |
410 |
|
|
fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features.</p> |
411 |
|
|

</p> |
413 |
|
|
<h3><a name="can_i_switch_the_fonts_at_runtime">Can I switch the fonts at runtime?</a></h3> |
414 |
|
|
<p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same |
415 |
|
|
effect as using the <code>-fn</code> switch, and takes effect immediately:</p> |
416 |
|
|
<pre> |
417 |
|
|
printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic"</pre> |
418 |
|
|
<p>This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
419 |
|
|
japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
420 |
|
|
japanese fonts would only be in your way.</p> |

<p>Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
426 |
|
|
example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font <code>xft:Bitstream Vera Sans |
427 |
|
|
Mono</code> completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround might be to |
428 |
|
|
enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this:</p> |
429 |
|
|
<pre> |
430 |
|
|
URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |

<h3><a name="can_i_speed_up_xft_rendering_somehow">Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow?</a></h3> |
435 |
|
|
<p>Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as |
436 |
|
|
it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable |
437 |
|
|
antialiasing (by appending <code>:antialias=false</code>), which saves lots of |
438 |
|
|
memory and also speeds up rendering considerably.</p> |

442 |
|
|
<p>Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
443 |
|
|
fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
444 |
|
|
fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has |
445 |
|
|
antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they |
446 |
|
|
look best that way.</p> |
447 |

=head3 How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?</pre> |
516 |
|
|
<pre> |
517 |
|
|
|
518 |
|
|
Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is |
519 |
|
|
fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
520 |
|
|
your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want |
521 |
|
|
to display.</pre> |
522 |
|
|
<pre> |
523 |
|
|
|
524 |
|
|
B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |
525 |
|
|
font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
526 |
|
|
bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't |
527 |
|
|
resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial |
528 |
|
|
intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe |
529 |
|
|
the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct.</pre> |
530 |
|
|
<pre> |
531 |
|
|
|
532 |
|
|
In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
533 |
|
|
e.g.:</pre> |
534 |
|
|
<pre> |
535 |
|
|
|
536 |
root |
1.61 |
urxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...</pre> |
537 |
root |
1.60 |
<pre> |
538 |
|
|
|
539 |
|
|
When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
540 |
|
|
font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the |
541 |
|
|
next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
542 |
|
|
search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server.</pre> |
543 |
|
|
<pre> |
544 |
|
|
|
545 |
|
|
The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base |
546 |
|
|
font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which |
547 |
|
|
must be the same due to the way terminals work.</pre> |

568 |
|
|
<p>You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the |
569 |
|
|
<strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource to the empty string, which also keeps |
570 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.</p> |
571 |
|
|
<p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
572 |
|
|
identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section |
573 |
root |
1.61 |
<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>urxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For |
574 |
root |
1.60 |
example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify |
575 |
|
|
this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p> |
576 |
|
|
<pre> |
577 |
|
|
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup</pre> |
578 |
|
|
<p>This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup |
579 |
|
|
extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example, |
580 |
|
|
scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any |
581 |
|
|
other combination either by setting the <strong>searchable-scrollback</strong> resource:</p> |
582 |
|
|
<pre> |
583 |
|
|
URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s</pre> |

591 |
|
|
<p>These are caused by the <code>readline</code> perl extension. Under normal |
592 |
|
|
circumstances, it will move your cursor around when you click into the |
593 |
|
|
line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment, |
594 |
|
|
but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in some |
595 |
|
|
cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly.</p> |
596 |
|
|
<p>You can permamently switch this feature off by disabling the <code>readline</code> |
597 |
|
|
extension:</p> |

<p>Some Debian GNUL/Linux users seem to have this problem, although no |
604 |

605 |
|
|
by the wrong <code>TERM</code> setting, although the details of wether and how |
606 |
|
|
this can happen are unknown, as <code>TERM=rxvt</code> should offer a compatible |

<h3><a name="my_compose__multi_key__key_is_no_longer_working_">My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working.</a></h3> |
612 |
|
|
<p>The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set |
613 |
|
|
correctly, or you specified a <strong>preeditStyle</strong> that is not supported by |
614 |
|
|
your input method. For example, if you specified <strong>OverTheSpot</strong> and |
615 |
|
|
your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) |
616 |
|
|
does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then |
617 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method.</p> |
618 |
|
|
<p>In this case either do not specify a <strong>preeditStyle</strong> or specify more than |
619 |
|
|
one pre-edit style, such as <strong>OverTheSpot,Root,None</strong>.</p> |

623 |
|
|
<p>Either try <code>Ctrl-2</code> alone (it often is mapped to ASCII NUL even on |
624 |
|
|
international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your |

|
advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for other |

633 |

quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are |

<h3><a name="what_s_with_the_strange_backspace_delete_key_behaviour">What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?</a></h3> |
639 |
|
|
<p>Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
640 |
|
|
BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
641 |
|
|
question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
642 |
|
|
Backspace: <code>^H</code> and <code>^?</code>.</p> |
643 |
|
|
<p>Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian |
644 |
|
|
policy of using <code>^?</code> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct |
645 |
|
|
choice :).</p> |
646 |
|
|
<p>Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value |
647 |
|
|
of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't |
648 |
|
|
started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the |
649 |
|
|
system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will |
650 |
|
|
be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).</p> |
651 |
|
|
<p>For starting a new rxvt-unicode:</p> |
652 |
|
|
<pre> |
653 |
|
|
# use Backspace = ^H |
654 |
|
|
$ stty erase ^H |
655 |
root |
1.61 |
$ urxvt</pre> |
656 |
root |
1.60 |
<pre> |
657 |
|
|
# use Backspace = ^? |
658 |
|
|
$ stty erase ^? |
659 |
root |
1.61 |
$ urxvt</pre> |
660 |
root |
1.60 |
<p>Toggle with <code>ESC [ 36 h</code> / <code>ESC [ 36 l</code>.</p> |
661 |
|
|
<p>For an existing rxvt-unicode:</p> |
662 |
|
|
<pre> |
663 |
|
|
# use Backspace = ^H |
664 |
|
|
$ stty erase ^H |
665 |
|
|
$ echo -n "^[[36h"</pre> |
666 |
|
|
<pre> |
667 |
|
|
# use Backspace = ^? |
668 |
|
|
$ stty erase ^? |
669 |
|
|
$ echo -n "^[[36l"</pre> |
670 |
|
|
<p>This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |
671 |
|
|
if you use Backspace = <code>^H</code>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |
672 |
|
|
properly reflects that.</p> |
673 |
|
|
<p>The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem. |
674 |
|
|
To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete |
675 |
|
|
key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute |
676 |
|
|
(<code>ESC [ 3 ~</code>) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.</p> |
677 |
|
|
<p>Some other Backspace problems:</p> |
678 |
|
|
<p>some editors use termcap/terminfo, |
679 |
|
|
some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H, |
680 |
|
|
GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.</p> |
681 |
|
|
<p>Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.</p> |

<p>Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accommodate all the various possible |
722 |
|
|
keyboard mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as |
723 |
|
|
required for your particular machine.</p> |

<h3><a name="why_doesn_t_rxvtunicode_read_my_resources">Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?</a></h3> |
730 |
|
|
<p>Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X |
731 |
|
|
applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads |
732 |
|
|
resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will |
733 |
|
|
ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read |
734 |
|
|
<em>$HOME/.Xdefaults</em> when no resources are attached to the display.</p> |
735 |
|
|
<p>If you have or use an <em>$HOME/.Xresources</em> file, chances are that |
736 |
|
|
resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to |
737 |
|
|
re-login after every change (or run <em>xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources</em>).</p> |
738 |
|
|
<p>Also consider the form resources have to use:</p> |
739 |
|
|
<pre> |
740 |
|
|
URxvt.resource: value</pre> |
741 |
|
|
<p>If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of |
742 |
|
|
specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it |
743 |
|
|
works. If unsure, use the form above.</p> |

<p>The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
748 |
|
|
as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises).</p> |
749 |
root |
1.1 |
<p>The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can |
750 |
|
|
be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp):</p> |
751 |
|
|
<pre> |
752 |
|
|
REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
753 |
|
|
infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti"</pre> |
754 |
|
|
<p>... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system,</p> |
755 |
|
|
<p>If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
756 |
|
|
<code>TERM=rxvt</code> or even <code>TERM=xterm</code>, and live with the small number of |
757 |
|
|
problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
758 |
|
|
colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
759 |
|
|
quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though.</p> |
760 |
root |
1.11 |
<p>If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you |
761 |
|
|
can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a |
762 |
|
|
resource to set it:</p> |
763 |

<pre> |
764 |

<p>If you don't plan to use <strong>rxvt</strong> (quite common...) you could also replace |
766 |

the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one and use <code>TERM=rxvt</code>.</p> |

<p>Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
882 |
root |
1.1 |
specific ``utf-8'' mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
883 |
root |
1.57 |
UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.</p> |
884 |
root |
1.1 |
<p>The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
885 |
|
|
the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
886 |
root |
1.11 |
applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width |
887 |
|
|
and code number. This mechanism is the <em>locale</em>. Applications not using |
888 |
|
|
that info will have problems (for example, <code>xterm</code> gets the width of |
889 |
|
|
characters wrong as it uses it's own, locale-independent table under all |
890 |
|
|
locales).</p> |
891 |
root |
1.1 |
<p>Rxvt-unicode uses the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> locale category to select encoding. All |
892 |
|
|
programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
893 |
|
|
interpretation of characters.</p> |
894 |
|
|
<p>Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
895 |
|
|
is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.</p> |
896 |
|
|
<p>On most systems, the content of the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> environment variable |
897 |
|
|
contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
898 |
|
|
locale. Common names for locales are <code>en_US.UTF-8</code>, <code>de_DE.ISO-8859-15</code>, |
899 |
|
|
<code>ja_JP.EUC-JP</code>, i.e. <code>language_country.encoding</code>, but other forms |
900 |
|
|
(i.e. <code>de</code> or <code>german</code>) are also common.</p> |
901 |
|
|
<p>Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
902 |
|
|
the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
903 |
root |
1.11 |
i.e. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code> and <code>ja_JP.UTF-8</code> are the normally same to |
904 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode.</p> |
905 |
root |
1.1 |
<p>If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |

rxvt-unicode with the correct <code>LC_CTYPE</code> category.</p> |

<p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |

<p>See also the previous answer.</p> |
915 |
|
|
<p>Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in |
916 |
|
|
one locale (e.g. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code>) but some programs don't support it |
917 |
|
|
(e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start <code>xjdic</code>, which |
918 |
|
|
first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later:</p> |
919 |
root |
1.1 |
<pre> |
920 |

printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |

xjdic -js |
922 |
|
|
printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8</pre> |
923 |
root |
1.11 |
<p>You can also use xterm's <code>luit</code> program, which usually works fine, except |
924 |
|
|
for some locales where character width differs between program- and |
925 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode-locales.</p> |

use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able to |

<p>Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |

while <strong>SCIM</strong> (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however, |

patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but |
955 |
|
|
unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to |
956 |
|
|
the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine |
957 |
|
|
version (<a href="http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode">http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode</a>) and try to reproduce |
958 |
|
|
the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to |
959 |
|
|
Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug |
960 |
|
|
Tracking System (use <code>reportbug</code> to report the bug).</p> |
961 |
|
|
<p>For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
962 |
|
|
probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
963 |
|
|
bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that |
964 |
|
|
might encounter the same issue.</p> |

968 |
|
|
<p>You should build one binary with the default options. <em>configure</em> |
969 |
|
|
now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
970 |
|
|
runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them, |
971 |
|
|
except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should |
972 |
|
|
be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in |
973 |
|
|
the future) depends on it.</p> |
974 |
|
|
<p>You should not overwrite the <code>perl-ext-common</code> snd <code>perl-ext</code> resources |
975 |
|
|
system-wide (except maybe with <code>defaults</code>). This will result in useful |
976 |
|
|
behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty |
977 |
|
|
<code>perl-ext-common</code> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the |
978 |
|
|
perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.</p> |
979 |
|
|
<p>If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
980 |
|
|
one with <code>--disable-everything</code> (very useful) and a maximal one with |
981 |
|
|
<a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of |
982 |
|
|
encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).</p> |

<h3><a name="i_need_to_make_it_setuid_setgid_to_support_utmp_ptys_on_my_os__is_this_safe">I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?</a></h3> |
986 |
|
|
<p>It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly |
987 |
|
|
install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now.</p> |
988 |
|
|
<p>When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork |
989 |
|
|
into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some |
990 |
|
|
systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges |
991 |
|
|
immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep |
992 |
|
|
privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains |
993 |
|
|
things as perl interpreters, which might be ``helpful'' to attackers).</p> |
994 |
|
|
<p>This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early |
995 |
|
|
and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or |
996 |
|
|
things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very |
997 |
|
|
little risk.</p> |

<h3><a name="i_am_on_freebsd_and_rxvtunicode_does_not_seem_to_work_at_all_">I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all.</a></h3> |
1009 |
|
|
<p>Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol <code>__STDC_ISO_10646__</code> to be defined |
1010 |
|
|
in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it, |
1011 |
|
|
wether it defines the symbol or not. <code>__STDC_ISO_10646__</code> requires that |
1012 |
|
|
<strong>wchar_t</strong> is represented as unicode.</p> |
1013 |
|
|
<p>As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor |
1014 |
|
|
does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of |
1015 |
|
|
<strong>wchar_t</strong>. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards.</p> |
1016 |
|
|
<p>However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in <code>POSIX</code>, <code>ISO-8859-1</code> and |
1017 |
|
|
<code>UTF-8</code> locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as <strong>wchar_t</strong>.</p> |
1018 |
|
|
<p><code>__STDC_ISO_10646__</code> is the only sane way to support multi-language |
1019 |
|
|
apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized) |
1020 |
|
|
representation of <strong>wchar_t</strong> makes it impossible to convert between |
1021 |
|
|
<strong>wchar_t</strong> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any other encoding |
1022 |
|
|
without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and every locale. There |
1023 |
|
|
simply are no APIs to convert <strong>wchar_t</strong> into anything except the current |
1024 |
|
|
locale encoding.</p> |
1025 |
|
|
<p>Some applications (such as the formidable <strong>mlterm</strong>) work around this |
1026 |
|
|
by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling |
1027 |
|
|
with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple |
1028 |
|
|
conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements |
1029 |
|
|
encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator).</p> |
1030 |
|
|
<p>The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the |
1031 |
|
|
system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry |
1032 |
|
|
complete replacements for them :)</p> |

<h3><a name="how_can_i_use_rxvtunicode_under_cygwin">How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin?</a></h3> |
1041 |
|
|
<p>rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
1042 |
|
|
the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
1043 |
|
|
longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
1044 |
|
|
single font). I recommend starting the X-server in <code>-multiwindow</code> or |
1045 |
|
|
<code>-rootless</code> mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as the |
1046 |
|
|
old libW11 emulation.</p> |
1047 |
|
|
<p>At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte |
1048 |
|
|
encodings (you might try <code>LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8</code>), so you are likely limited |
1049 |
|
|
to 8-bit encodings.</p> |

2038 |
|
|
<p>General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
2039 |
root |
1.24 |
hasn't been tested well. Either try with <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> or use |
2040 |
|
|
the <em>./reconf</em> script as a base for experiments. <em>./reconf</em> is used by |
2041 |
|
|
myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should |
2042 |
|
|
always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc |

Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (<code>eu</code>, <code>vn</code> |
2079 |
|
|
are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets). These |
2080 |
|
|
codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, they are not required |
2081 |
|
|
for Xft fonts, although having them compiled in lets rxvt-unicode choose |
2082 |
|
|
replacement fonts more intelligently. Compiling them in will make your |
2083 |
|
|
binary bigger (all of together cost about 700kB), but it doesn't increase |
2084 |
|
|
memory usage unless you use a font requiring one of these encodings. |
