80</dt>
81<dd>
82Yes. For example, if you want to select smaller pieces (``words'') you can
83use the following resource:

85<dd>
86<pre>
87 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)</pre>

89<dd>
90<p>If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended
91more and more.</p>
92</dd>
93<dd>
94<p>To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:</p>
95</dd>
96<dd>
97<pre>
98 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^&quot;&amp;'()*,;&lt;=&gt;?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+)</pre>

103</dt>
104<dd>
105You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
106<strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource to the empty string, which also keeps
107rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
108</dd>
109<dd>
110<p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
111identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
112<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For
113example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify
114this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p>
115</dd>
116<dd>
117<pre>
118 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup</pre>
119</dd>
120<dd>
121<p>This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
122extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
123scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any
124other combination either by setting the <strong>searchable-scrollback</strong> resource:</p>
125</dd>

132</dt>
133<dd>
134I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
135bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
136that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
137compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even
138with <code>--disable-everything</code>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
139features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
140already in use in this mode.
141</dd>

147</dd>
148<dd>
149<p>When you <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
150and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
151libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.</p>
152</dd>
153<dd>
154<pre>
155 text data bss drs rss filename
156 163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything
157 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything</pre>
158</dd>
159<dd>
160<p>The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
161encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
162and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
163encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
164compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
165memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
166few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when
167not used.</p>
168</dd>
169<dd>
170<p>Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
171a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
172memory.</p>
173</dd>
174<dd>
175<p>Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
176still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
177(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
17843180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
179startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
180extremely well *g*.</p>

183<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 />
184</dt>
185<dd>
186Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
187to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
188of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
189shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++.
190</dd>
191<dd>
192<p>My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in
193the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
194are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
195domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.</p>
196</dd>
197<dd>
198<p>Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
199in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
200C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
201not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my
202system with a minimal config:</p>

229<dd>
230rxvt-unicode does not directly support tabs. It will work fine with
231tabbing functionality of many window managers or similar tabbing programs,
232and its embedding-features allow it to be embedded into other programs,
233as witnessed by <em>doc/rxvt-tabbed</em> or the upcoming <code>Gtk2::URxvt</code> perl
234module, which features a tabbed urxvt (murxvt) terminal as an example
235embedding application.

267</dt>
268<dd>
269You should build one binary with the default options. <em>configure</em>
270now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
271runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
272except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
273be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
274the future) depends on it.
275</dd>
276<dd>
277<p>You should not overwrite the <code>perl-ext-common</code> snd <code>perl-ext</code> resources
278system-wide (except maybe with <code>defaults</code>). This will result in useful
279behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
280<code>perl-ext-common</code> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
281perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.</p>
282</dd>
283<dd>
284<p>If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
285one with <code>--disable-everything</code> (very useful) and a maximal one with
286<a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
287encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).</p>

290<dt><strong><a name="item_i_need_to_make_it_setuid_2fsetgid_to_support_utmp_">I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?</a></strong><br />
291</dt>
292<dd>
293Likely not. While I honestly try to make it secure, and am probably not
294bad at it, I think it is simply unreasonable to expect all of freetype
295+ fontconfig + xft + xlib + perl + ... + rxvt-unicode itself to all be
296secure. Also, rxvt-unicode disables some options when it detects that it
297runs setuid or setgid, which is not nice. Besides, with the embedded perl
298interpreter the possibility for security problems easily multiplies.
299</dd>
300<dd>
301<p>Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on some
302systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra privileges for
303ptys, but some need it for utmp support). It is planned to mvoe this into
304a forked handler process, but this is not yet done.</p>
305</dd>
306<dd>
307<p>So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on your
308typical single-user-no-other-logins unix desktop, always remember that
309its an awful lot of code, most of which isn't checked for security issues
310regularly.</p>
