69</dt>
70<dd>
71Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can use
72the following resource:

74<dd>
75<pre>
76 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)</pre>

83<p>To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:</p>

96</dt>
97<dd>
98You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
99<strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource to the empty string, which also keeps
100rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
101</dd>
102<dd>
103<p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
104identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
105<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For
106example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify
107this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p>
108</dd>
109<dd>
110<pre>
111 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup</pre>
112</dd>
113<dd>
114<p>This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
115extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
116scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any
117other combination either by setting the <strong>searchable-scrollback</strong> resource:</p>
118</dd>

125</dt>
126<dd>
127I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
128bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
129that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
130compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even
131with <code>--disable-everything</code>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
132features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
133already in use in this mode.
134</dd>

140</dd>
141<dd>
142<p>When you <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
143and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
144libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.</p>
145</dd>
146<dd>
147<pre>
148 text data bss drs rss filename
149 163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything
150 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything</pre>
151</dd>
152<dd>
153<p>The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
154encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
155and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
156encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
157compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
158memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
159few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when
160not used.</p>
161</dd>
162<dd>
163<p>Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
164a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
165memory.</p>
166</dd>
167<dd>
168<p>Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
169still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
170(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
17143180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
172startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
173extremely well *g*.</p>

176<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 />
177</dt>
178<dd>
179Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
180to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
181of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
182shorter: 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
186the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
187are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
188domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.</p>
189</dd>
190<dd>
191<p>Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
192in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
193C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
194not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my
195system with a minimal config:</p>

223Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
224simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should
225give you tabs:

236<p>It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers
237or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be
238embedded into other programs, as witnessed by <em>doc/rxvt-tabbed</em> or
239the upcoming <code>Gtk2::URxvt</code> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt
240(murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application.</p>

275You should build one binary with the default options. <em>configure</em>
276now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
277runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
278except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
279be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
280the future) depends on it.
281</dd>
282<dd>
283<p>You should not overwrite the <code>perl-ext-common</code> snd <code>perl-ext</code> resources
284system-wide (except maybe with <code>defaults</code>). This will result in useful
285behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
286<code>perl-ext-common</code> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
287perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.</p>
288</dd>
289<dd>
290<p>If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
291one with <code>--disable-everything</code> (very useful) and a maximal one with
292<a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of

299It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
300install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now.
301</dd>
302<dd>
303<p>When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork
304into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
305systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
306immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
307privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
308things as perl interpreters, which might be ``helpful'' to attackers).</p>
309</dd>

311<p>This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early

1773<h1><a name="menubar">menuBar</a></h1>
1774<p><strong>The exact syntax used is <em>almost</em> solidified. </strong>&gt;
1775In the menus, <strong>DON'T</strong> try to use menuBar commands that add or remove a
1776menuBar.</p>
1777<p>Note that in all of the commands, the <strong><em>/path/</em> </strong>&gt; <em>cannot</em> be
1778omitted: use <strong>./</strong> to specify a menu relative to the current menu.</p>
1779<p>
1780</p>
1781<h2><a name="overview_of_menubar_operation">Overview of menuBar operation</a></h2>
1782<p>For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence <code>ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST</code>, the syntax
1783of <a href="#item_pt"><code>Pt</code></a> can be used for a variety of tasks:</p>
1784<p>At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1785linked-list of other such menuBars.</p>
1786<p>The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1787turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.</p>
1788<p>The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1789input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.</p>
1790<p>The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1791constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1792menuBars.</p>
1793<p>The first step is to use the tag <strong>[menu:<em>name</em>] </strong>&gt; which creates
1794the menuBar called <em>name</em> and allows access. You may now or menus,
1795subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag <strong>[done]</strong> to set the
1796menuBar access as <strong>readonly</strong> to prevent accidental corruption of the
1797menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
1798<strong>[menu]</strong>, make the alterations and then use <strong>[done]</strong></p>

2111<p>The menus also provide a hook for <em>quick arrows</em> to provide easier
2112user access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to

2114individually or all four at once without re-entering their common
2115beginning/end text. For example, to explicitly associate cursor actions
2116with the arrows, any of the following forms could be used:</p>
