98 | You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the |

99 | <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource to the empty string, which also keeps |
|
|
100 | rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory. |
|
|
101 | </dd> |
|
|
102 | <dd> |
|
|
103 | <p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
|
|
104 | identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section |
|
|
105 | <strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For |
|
|
106 | example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify |
|
|
107 | this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p> |
|
|
108 | </dd> |
|

|
|
112 | </dd> |
|
|
113 | <dd> |
|
|
114 | <p>This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup |
|
|
115 | extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example, |
|
|
116 | scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any |
|
|
117 | other combination either by setting the <strong>searchable-scrollback</strong> resource:</p> |

|
|
127 | I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra |
|
|
128 | bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see |
|
|
129 | that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being |
|
|
130 | compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even |
|
|
131 | with <code>--disable-everything</code>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many |
|
|
132 | features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are |
|

153 | <p>The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian |
|
|
154 | encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else |
|
|
155 | and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those |
|
|
156 | encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ |
|
|
157 | compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of |
|
|
158 | memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a |
|
|
159 | few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when |
|
|
160 | not used.</p> |
|
|
161 | </dd> |
|
|
162 | <dd> |
|
|
163 | <p>Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one, |
|
|
164 | a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more |
|
|
165 | memory.</p> |
|

166 | </dd> |
|

167 | <dd> |
|
|
168 | <p>Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this |
|
|
169 | still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal |
|
|
170 | (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra |
|
|
171 | 43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of |
|
|
172 | startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares |
|
|
173 | extremely well *g*.</p> |

178 | <dd> |
|
|
179 | Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had |
|
|
180 | to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction |
|
|
181 | of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even |
|
|
182 | shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++. |
|
|
183 | </dd> |
|
|
184 | <dd> |
|
|
185 | <p>My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in |
|
|
186 | the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits |
|
|
187 | are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix |
|
|
188 | domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.</p> |

|
|
191 | <p>Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs |
|
|
192 | in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in |
|
|
193 | C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is |

194 | not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my |

277 | runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them, |

278 | except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should |

|
|
1734 | <p><strong>The exact syntax used is <em>almost</em> solidified. </strong>> |
|
|
1735 | In the menus, <strong>DON'T</strong> try to use menuBar commands that add or remove a |
|
|
1736 | menuBar.</p> |
|
|
1737 | <p>Note that in all of the commands, the <strong><em>/path/</em> </strong>> <em>cannot</em> be |
|
|
1738 | omitted: use <strong>./</strong> to specify a menu relative to the current menu.</p> |
|
|
1739 | <p> |
|
|
1740 | </p> |
|
|
1741 | <h2><a name="overview_of_menubar_operation">Overview of menuBar operation</a></h2> |
|
|
1742 | <p>For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence <code>ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST</code>, the syntax |
|
|
1743 | of <a href="#item_pt"><code>Pt</code></a> can be used for a variety of tasks:</p> |
|
|
1744 | <p>At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular |
|
|
1745 | linked-list of other such menuBars.</p> |
|
|
1746 | <p>The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in |
|
|
1747 | turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.</p> |
|
|
1748 | <p>The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard |
|
|
1749 | input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.</p> |
|
|
1750 | <p>The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of |
|
|
1751 | constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the |
|
|
1752 | menuBars.</p> |
|
|
1753 | <p>The first step is to use the tag <strong>[menu:<em>name</em>] </strong>> which creates |
|
|
1754 | the menuBar called <em>name</em> and allows access. You may now or menus, |
|
|
1755 | subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag <strong>[done]</strong> to set the |
|
|
1756 | menuBar access as <strong>readonly</strong> to prevent accidental corruption of the |
|
|
1757 | menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag |
|
|
1758 | <strong>[menu]</strong>, make the alterations and then use <strong>[done]</strong></p> |
|
|
1759 | <p></p> |
