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
67single words?</a></strong><br />
68</dt>
69<dd>
70Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can use
71the 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
79more 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
90selects 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
94change/disable it?</a></strong><br />
95</dt>
96<dd>
97You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
98<strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource to the empty string, which also keeps
99rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
100</dd>
101<dd>
102<p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
103identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
104<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For
105example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify
106this <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
114extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
115scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any
116other 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>
126Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
127applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads
128resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
129ignore 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
134resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to
135re-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
146specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
147works. 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>
153First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so
154you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
155bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
156of 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
160descriptions 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
172support, 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
176to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
177your 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
186are 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
197doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't
198there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary
199bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that
200doesn'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>
212by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and
213your 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>
219I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
220bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
221that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
222compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even
223with <code>--disable-everything</code>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
224features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
225already 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
235and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
236libc), 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
246encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
247and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
248encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
249compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
250memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
251few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when
252not used.</p>
253</dd>
254<dd>
255<p>Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
256a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
257memory.</p>
258</dd>
259<dd>
260<p>Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
261still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
262(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
26343180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
264startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
265extremely 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>
271Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
272to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
273of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
274shorter: 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
278the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
279are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
280domain 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
284in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
285C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
286not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my
287system with a minimal config:</p>

314<dd>
315Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a

330embedded into other programs, as witnessed by <em>doc/rxvt-tabbed</em> or

367You should build one binary with the default options. <em>configure</em>
368now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
369runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
370except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
371be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
372the 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
376system-wide (except maybe with <code>defaults</code>). This will result in useful
377behaviour. 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
379perl 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
383one 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

391It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
392install 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
396into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
397systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
398immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
399privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
400things as perl interpreters, which might be ``helpful'' to attackers).</p>

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

803rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using
804the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no
805longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a
806single font). I recommend starting the X-server in <code>-multiwindow</code> or
807<code>-rootless</code> mode instead, which will result in similar look&amp;feel as the
808old libW11 emulation.

1735<h1><a name="menubar">menuBar</a></h1>
1736<p><strong>The exact syntax used is <em>almost</em> solidified. </strong>&gt;
1737In the menus, <strong>DON'T</strong> try to use menuBar commands that add or remove a
1738menuBar.</p>
1739<p>Note that in all of the commands, the <strong><em>/path/</em> </strong>&gt; <em>cannot</em> be
1740omitted: use <strong>./</strong> to specify a menu relative to the current menu.</p>
1741<p>
1742</p>
1743<h2><a name="overview_of_menubar_operation">Overview of menuBar operation</a></h2>
1744<p>For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence <code>ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST</code>, the syntax
1745of <a href="#item_pt"><code>Pt</code></a> can be used for a variety of tasks:</p>
1746<p>At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1747linked-list of other such menuBars.</p>
1748<p>The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1749turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.</p>
1750<p>The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1751input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.</p>
1752<p>The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1753constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1754menuBars.</p>
1755<p>The first step is to use the tag <strong>[menu:<em>name</em>] </strong>&gt; which creates
1756the menuBar called <em>name</em> and allows access. You may now or menus,
1757subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag <strong>[done]</strong> to set the
1758menuBar access as <strong>readonly</strong> to prevent accidental corruption of the
1759menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
1760<strong>[menu]</strong>, make the alterations and then use <strong>[done]</strong></p>
