65 <dl>
66 <dt><strong><a name="item_the_new_selection_selects_pieces_that_are_too_big_">The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select
67 single words?</a></strong><br />
68 </dt>
69 <dd>
70 Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can use
71 the following resource:
72 </dd>
73 <dd>
74 <pre>
75 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)</pre>
76 </dd>
77 <dd>
78 <p>If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended
79 more and more.</p>
80 </dd>
81 <dd>
82 <p>To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:</p>
83 </dd>
84 <dd>
85 <pre>
86 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^&quot;&amp;'()*,;&lt;=&gt;?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+)</pre>
87 </dd>
88 <dd>
89 <p>Please also note that the <em>LeftClick Shift-LeftClik</em> combination also
90 selects words like the old code.</p>
91 </dd>
92 <p></p>
93 <dt><strong><a name="item_i_don_27t_like_the_new_selection_2fpopups_2fhotkey">I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I
94 change/disable it?</a></strong><br />
95 </dt>
96 <dd>
97 You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
98 <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource to the empty string, which also keeps
99 rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
100 </dd>
101 <dd>
102 <p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
103 identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
104 <strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For
105 example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify
106 this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p>
107 </dd>
108 <dd>
109 <pre>
110 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup</pre>
111 </dd>
112 <dd>
113 <p>This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
114 extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
115 scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any
116 other combination either by setting the <strong>searchable-scrollback</strong> resource:</p>
117 </dd>
118 <dd>
119 <pre>
120 URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s</pre>
121 </dd>
122 <p></p>
123 <dt><strong><a name="item_why_doesn_27t_rxvt_2dunicode_read_my_resources_3f">Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?</a></strong><br />
124 </dt>
125 <dd>
126 Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
127 applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads
128 resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
129 ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
130 <em>$HOME/.Xdefaults</em> when no resources are attached to the display.
131 </dd>
132 <dd>
133 <p>If you have or use an <em>$HOME/.Xresources</em> file, chances are that
134 resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to
135 re-login after every change (or run <em>xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources</em>).</p>
136 </dd>
137 <dd>
138 <p>Also consider the form resources have to use:</p>
139 </dd>
140 <dd>
141 <pre>
142 URxvt.resource: value</pre>
143 </dd>
144 <dd>
145 <p>If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
146 specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
147 works. If unsure, use the form above.</p>
148 </dd>
149 <p></p>
150 <dt><strong><a name="item_i_can_27t_get_transparency_working_2c_what_am_i_do">I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?</a></strong><br />
151 </dt>
152 <dd>
153 First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so
154 you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
155 bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
156 of passage: ... and you failed.
157 </dd>
158 <dd>
159 <p>Here are four ways to get transparency. <strong>Do</strong> read the manpage and option
160 descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it!</p>
161 </dd>
162 <dd>
163 <p>1. Use inheritPixmap:</p>
164 </dd>
165 <dd>
166 <pre>
167 Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
168 rxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40</pre>
169 </dd>
170 <dd>
171 <p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
172 support, or you are unable to read.</p>
173 </dd>
174 <dd>
175 <p>2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you
176 to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
177 your picture with gimp:</p>
178 </dd>
179 <dd>
180 <pre>
181 convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
182 rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre>
183 </dd>
184 <dd>
185 <p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or you
186 are unable to read.</p>
187 </dd>
188 <dd>
189 <p>3. Use an ARGB visual:</p>
190 </dd>
191 <dd>
192 <pre>
193 rxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc</pre>
194 </dd>
195 <dd>
196 <p>This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that
197 doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't
198 there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary
199 bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that
200 doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place.</p>
201 </dd>
202 <dd>
203 <p>4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:</p>
204 </dd>
205 <dd>
206 <pre>
207 xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \
208 -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000</pre>
209 </dd>
210 <dd>
211 <p>Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace <code>0xc0000000</code>
212 by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and
213 your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.</p>
214 </dd>
215 <p></p>
216 <dt><strong><a name="item_isn_27t_rxvt_supposed_to_be_small_3f_don_27t_all_t">Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?</a></strong><br />
217 </dt>
218 <dd>
219 I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
220 bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
221 that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
222 compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even
223 with <code>--disable-everything</code>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
224 features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
225 already in use in this mode.
226 </dd>
227 <dd>
228 <pre>
229 text data bss drs rss filename
230 98398 1664 24 15695 1824 rxvt --disable-everything
231 188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything</pre>
232 </dd>
233 <dd>
234 <p>When you <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
235 and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
236 libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.</p>
237 </dd>
238 <dd>
239 <pre>
240 text data bss drs rss filename
241 163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything
242 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything</pre>
243 </dd>
244 <dd>
245 <p>The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
246 encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
247 and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
248 encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
249 compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
250 memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
251 few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when
252 not used.</p>
253 </dd>
254 <dd>
255 <p>Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
256 a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
257 memory.</p>
258 </dd>
259 <dd>
260 <p>Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
261 still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
262 (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
263 43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
264 startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
265 extremely well *g*.</p>
266 </dd>
267 <p></p>
268 <dt><strong><a name="item_why_c_2b_2b_2c_isn_27t_that_unportable_2fbloated_2">Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?</a></strong><br />
269 </dt>
270 <dd>
271 Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
272 to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
273 of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
274 shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++.
275 </dd>
276 <dd>
277 <p>My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in
278 the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
279 are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
280 domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.</p>
281 </dd>
282 <dd>
283 <p>Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
284 in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
285 C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
286 not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my
287 system with a minimal config:</p>
288 </dd>
289 <dd>

306 </dd>
307 <dd>
308 <p>No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically),
309 except maybe libX11 :)</p>
310 </dd>
311 <p></p>
312 <dt><strong><a name="item_does_it_support_tabs_2c_can_i_have_a_tabbed_rxvt_2">Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?</a></strong><br />
313 </dt>
314 <dd>
315 Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
316 simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should
317 give you tabs:
318 </dd>
319 <dd>
320 <pre>
321 rxvt -pe tabbed</pre>
322 </dd>
323 <dd>
324 <pre>
325 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed</pre>
326 </dd>
327 <dd>
328 <p>It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers
329 or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be
330 embedded into other programs, as witnessed by <em>doc/rxvt-tabbed</em> or
331 the upcoming <code>Gtk2::URxvt</code> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt
332 (murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application.</p>

336 </dt>
337 <dd>
338 The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape
339 sequence <code>ESC [ 8 n</code> sets the window title to the version number. When
340 using the rxvtc client, the version displayed is that of the
341 daemon.

344 <dt><strong><a name="item_i_am_using_debian_gnu_2flinux_and_have_a_problem_2">I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem...</a></strong><br />
345 </dt>
346 <dd>
347 The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large
348 patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but
349 unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to
350 the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine
351 version (<a href="http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode">http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode</a>) and try to reproduce
352 the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to
353 Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug
354 Tracking System (use <code>reportbug</code> to report the bug).
355 </dd>
356 <dd>
357 <p>For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
358 probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a
359 bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that
360 might encounter the same issue.</p>

363 <dt><strong><a name="item_i_am_maintaining_rxvt_2dunicode_for_distribution_2">I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any
364 recommendation?</a></strong><br />
365 </dt>
366 <dd>
367 You should build one binary with the default options. <em>configure</em>
368 now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
369 runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
370 except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
371 be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
372 the future) depends on it.
373 </dd>
374 <dd>
375 <p>You should not overwrite the <code>perl-ext-common</code> snd <code>perl-ext</code> resources
376 system-wide (except maybe with <code>defaults</code>). This will result in useful
377 behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
378 <code>perl-ext-common</code> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
379 perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.</p>
380 </dd>
381 <dd>
382 <p>If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
383 one with <code>--disable-everything</code> (very useful) and a maximal one with
384 <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
385 encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).</p>

389 </dt>
390 <dd>
391 It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
392 install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now.
393 </dd>
394 <dd>
395 <p>When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork
396 into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
397 systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
398 immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
399 privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
400 things as perl interpreters, which might be ``helpful'' to attackers).</p>
401 </dd>
402 <dd>
403 <p>This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early
404 and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or
405 things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very
406 little risk.</p>

410 </dt>
411 <dd>
412 The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available
413 as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises).
414 </dd>
415 <dd>
416 <p>The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can
417 be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp):</p>
418 </dd>
419 <dd>
420 <pre>
421 REMOTE=remotesystem.domain

423 </dd>
424 <dd>
425 <p>... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system,</p>
426 </dd>
427 <dd>
428 <p>If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set
429 <code>TERM=rxvt</code> or even <code>TERM=xterm</code>, and live with the small number of
430 problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different
431 colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice
432 quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though.</p>
433 </dd>
434 <dd>
435 <p>If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you
436 can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a
437 resource to set it:</p>
438 </dd>
439 <dd>
440 <pre>
441 URxvt.termName: rxvt</pre>
442 </dd>

604 </dd>
605 <dd>
606 <p><strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
607 font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
608 bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't
609 resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial
610 intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe
611 the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct.</p>
612 </dd>
613 <dd>
614 <p>In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,

616 </dd>
617 <dd>
618 <pre>
619 rxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...</pre>
620 </dd>
621 <dd>
622 <p>When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
623 font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
624 next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
625 search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server.</p>
626 </dd>
627 <dd>
628 <p>The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base
629 font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which

635 <dd>
636 This is because there is a difference between script and language --
637 rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
638 as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
639 sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
640 display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
641 chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
642 non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
643 -- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
644 chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.
645 </dd>
646 <dd>
647 <p>The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
648 list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
649 a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
650 first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.</p>
651 </dd>
652 <dd>
653 <p>In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at

655 fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
656 has been designed yet).</p>
657 </dd>
658 <dd>
659 <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>

665 Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character
666 size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might
667 contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid
668 these characters. For characters that are just ``a bit'' too wide a special
669 ``careful'' rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.
670 </dd>
671 <dd>
672 <p>All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
673 however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding
674 box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to
675 ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these
676 cases).</p>
677 </dd>
678 <dd>
679 <p>It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype,
680 or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using
681 the <code>-lsp</code> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you
682 might be forced to use a different font.</p>

781 <p>Some applications (such as the formidable <strong>mlterm</strong>) work around this

821 Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no

823 UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.
824 </dd>
825 <dd>
826 <p>The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
827 the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
828 applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width
829 and code number. This mechanism is the <em>locale</em>. Applications not using
830 that info will have problems (for example, <code>xterm</code> gets the width of

841 is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.</p>
842 </dd>
843 <dd>
844 <p>On most systems, the content of the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> environment variable
845 contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
846 locale. Common names for locales are <code>en_US.UTF-8</code>, <code>de_DE.ISO-8859-15</code>,
847 <code>ja_JP.EUC-JP</code>, i.e. <code>language_country.encoding</code>, but other forms

849 </dd>
850 <dd>
851 <p>Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
852 the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,

864 Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets

875 <p>Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in
876 one locale (e.g. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code>) but some programs don't support it
877 (e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start <code>xjdic</code>, which
878 first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later:</p>
879 </dd>
880 <dd>
881 <pre>
882 printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS
883 xjdic -js
884 printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8</pre>
885 </dd>
886 <dd>
887 <p>You can also use xterm's <code>luit</code> program, which usually works fine, except
888 for some locales where character width differs between program- and
889 rxvt-unicode-locales.</p>

914 Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For
915 example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font <code>xft:Bitstream Vera Sans
916 Mono</code> completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround might be to
917 enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this:
918 </dd>
919 <dd>
920 <pre>
921 URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true

932 <pre>

934 </dd>
935 <dd>
936 <p>Now you can start your terminal with <code>LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8</code> and still
937 use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able to
938 input characters outside <code>EUC-JP</code> in a normal way then, as your input

945 Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by

947 leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at
948 exit time. <strong>kinput2</strong> (and derived input methods) generally succeeds,

950 crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides cooperate.

957 </dt>
958 <dd>
959 Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you
960 don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that
961 you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design,
962 when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded
963 accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.
964 </dd>
965 <dd>
966 <p>Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger
967 scrollback buffers: Without <code>--enable-unicode3</code>, rxvt-unicode will use
968 6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a
969 kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full)
970 use 10 Megabytes of memory. With <code>--enable-unicode3</code> it gets worse, as
971 rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.</p>

976 <dd>
977 Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as
978 it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable
979 antialiasing (by appending <code>:antialias=false</code>), which saves lots of
980 memory and also speeds up rendering considerably.

985 <dd>
986 Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to
987 fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core
988 fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has
989 antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they
990 look best that way.

1096 <dd>
1097 Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
1098 BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
1099 question) there are two standard values that can be used for
1100 Backspace: <code>^H</code> and <code>^?</code>.
1101 </dd>
1102 <dd>
1103 <p>Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
1104 policy of using <code>^?</code> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
1105 choice :).</p>
1106 </dd>
1107 <dd>
1108 <p>Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
1109 of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
1110 started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
1111 system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in &lt;termios.h&gt;, will
1112 be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).</p>
1113 </dd>
1114 <dd>
1115 <p>For starting a new rxvt-unicode:</p>
1116 </dd>
1117 <dd>
1118 <pre>
1119 # use Backspace = ^H
1120 $ stty erase ^H
1121 $ rxvt</pre>

1123 <dd>
1124 <pre>
1125 # use Backspace = ^?
1126 $ stty erase ^?
1127 $ rxvt</pre>
1128 </dd>
1129 <dd>
1130 <p>Toggle with <code>ESC [ 36 h</code> / <code>ESC [ 36 l</code>.</p>
1131 </dd>
1132 <dd>
1133 <p>For an existing rxvt-unicode:</p>
1134 </dd>
1135 <dd>
1136 <pre>
1137 # use Backspace = ^H
1138 $ stty erase ^H
1139 $ echo -n &quot;^[[36h&quot;</pre>

1145 $ echo -n &quot;^[[36l&quot;</pre>
1146 </dd>
1147 <dd>
1148 <p>This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
1149 if you use Backspace = <code>^H</code>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
1150 properly reflects that.</p>
1151 </dd>
1152 <dd>
1153 <p>The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
1154 To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
1155 key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
1156 (<code>ESC [ 3 ~</code>) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.</p>
1157 </dd>
1158 <dd>
1159 <p>Some other Backspace problems:</p>
1160 </dd>
1161 <dd>
1162 <p>some editors use termcap/terminfo,
1163 some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
1164 GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.</p>

2268 <h1><a name="configure_options">CONFIGURE OPTIONS</a></h1>
2269 <p>General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
2270 hasn't been tested well. Either try with <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> or use
2271 the <em>./reconf</em> script as a base for experiments. <em>./reconf</em> is used by
2272 myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should
2273 always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc

2284 <p>You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by
2285 <em>following</em> this with the appropriate <code>--disable-...</code> arguments,

2287 <code>--disable-everything</code> and than adding just the <code>--enable-...</code> arguments

2294 Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts are

2309 Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (<code>eu</code>, <code>vn</code>
2310 are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets). These
2311 codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, they are not required
2312 for Xft fonts, although having them compiled in lets rxvt-unicode choose
2313 replacement fonts more intelligently. Compiling them in will make your
2314 binary bigger (all of together cost about 700kB), but it doesn't increase
2315 memory usage unless you use a font requiring one of these encodings.

2328 Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
2329 alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
2330 set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.

2336 Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters.
2337 </dd>
2338 <dd>
2339 <p>Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above
2340 65535 (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage
2341 requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet
2342 support these extra characters, but Xft does.</p>
2343 </dd>
2344 <dd>
2345 <p>Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points &gt;65535
2346 even without this flag, but the number of such characters is
2347 limited to a view thousand (shared with combining characters,
2348 see next switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them

2355 Enable automatic composition of combining characters into
2356 composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text
2357 where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is
2358 done by using precomposited characters when available or creating
2359 new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists.
2360 </dd>
2361 <dd>
2362 <p>Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed
2363 characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will be
2364 (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists.</p>
2365 </dd>
2366 <dd>
2367 <p>This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters
