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>	173	<p>

117	</dd>	181	<pre>
118	<dd>	182	URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed</pre>
		183	<p>It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers
		184	or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be
		185	embedded into other programs, as witnessed by <em>doc/rxvt-tabbed</em> or
		186	the upcoming <code>Gtk2::URxvt</code> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt
		187	(murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application.</p>

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>	195	<p>
142	URxvt.resource: value</pre>	196	</p>

144	<dd>	198	<p>Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you
145	<p>If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of	199	don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that

148	</dd>	202	accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.</p>
149	<p></p>	203	<p>Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger
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 />	204	scrollback buffers: Without <code>--enable-unicode3</code>, rxvt-unicode will use

153	First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so	207	use 10 Megabytes of memory. With <code>--enable-unicode3</code> it gets worse, as

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

		340	<h3><a name="i_can_t_get_transparency_working__what_am_i_doing_wrong">I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?</a></h3>
		341	<p>First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so
		342	you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
		343	bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
		344	of passage: ... and you failed.</p>
		345	<p>Here are four ways to get transparency. <strong>Do</strong> read the manpage and option
		346	descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it!</p>
		347	<p>1. Use inheritPixmap:</p>
		348	<pre>
		349	Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
		350	urxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40</pre>
		351	<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
		352	support, or you are unable to read.</p>
		353	<p>2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you
		354	to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
		355	your picture with gimp or any other tool:</p>
		356	<pre>
		357	convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
		358	urxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre>
		359	<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or you
		360	are unable to read.</p>
		361	<p>3. Use an ARGB visual:</p>
		362	<pre>
		363	urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc</pre>
		364	<p>This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that
		365	doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't
		366	there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the necessary
		367	bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that
		368	doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place.</p>
		369	<p>4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:</p>
		370	<pre>
		371	xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \
		372	-set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000</pre>
		373	<p>Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace <code>0xc0000000</code>
		374	by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and
		375	your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.</p>
		376	<p>
		377	</p>
		378	<h3><a name="why_does_rxvtunicode_sometimes_leave_pixel_droppings">Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?</a></h3>
		379	<p>Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character
		380	size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might
		381	contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid
		382	these characters. For characters that are just ``a bit'' too wide a special
		383	``careful'' rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.</p>
		384	<p>All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
		385	however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding
		386	box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to
		387	ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these
		388	cases).</p>
		389	<p>It's not clear (to me at least), whether this is a bug in Xft, freetype,
		390	or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using
		391	the <code>-lsp</code> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you
		392	might be forced to use a different font.</p>
		393	<p>All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding
		394	box data is correct.</p>
		395	<p>
		396	</p>
		397	<h3><a name="how_can_i_keep_rxvtunicode_from_using_reverse_video_so_much">How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much?</a></h3>
		398	<p>First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings
		399	(<code>TERM=rxvt-unicode</code>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then
		400	make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise
		401	rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect:</p>
		402	<pre>
		403	URxvt.colorBD: white
		404	URxvt.colorIT: green</pre>
		405	<p>
		406	</p>
		407	<h3><a name="some_programs_assume_totally_weird_colours__red_instead_of_blue___how_can_i_fix_that">Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that?</a></h3>
		408	<p>For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird
		409	colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the standard
		410	8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of course, to fix
		411	these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very good reasons.</p>
		412	<p>In the meantime, you can either edit your <code>rxvt-unicode</code> terminfo
		413	definition to only claim 8 colour support or use <code>TERM=rxvt</code>, which will
		414	fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features.</p>
		415	<p>
		416	</p>
		417	<h3><a name="can_i_switch_the_fonts_at_runtime">Can I switch the fonts at runtime?</a></h3>
		418	<p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same
		419	effect as using the <code>-fn</code> switch, and takes effect immediately:</p>
		420	<pre>

		428	<h3><a name="why_do_italic_characters_look_as_if_clipped">Why do italic characters look as if clipped?</a></h3>
		429	<p>Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For
		430	example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font <code>xft:Bitstream Vera Sans
		431	Mono</code> completely fails in its italic face. A workaround might be to
		432	enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this:</p>
		433	<pre>
		434	URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true

		438	<h3><a name="can_i_speed_up_xft_rendering_somehow">Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow?</a></h3>
		439	<p>Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as
		440	it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable
		441	antialiasing (by appending <code>:antialias=false</code>), which saves lots of
		442	memory and also speeds up rendering considerably.</p>

		445	<h3><a name="rxvtunicode_doesn_t_seem_to_antialias_its_fonts__what_is_wrong">Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong?</a></h3>
		446	<p>Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to
		447	fall back to its default font search list it will prefer X11 core
		448	fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has
		449	antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they
		450	look best that way.</p>
		451	<p>If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually.</p>

		454	<h3><a name="what_s_with_this_bold_blink_stuff">What's with this bold/blink stuff?</a></h3>
		455	<p>If no bold colour is set via <code>colorBD:</code>, bold will invert text using the

		457	<p>For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the
		458	text blink when compiled with <code>--enable-blinking</code>. with standard
		459	colours. Without <code>--enable-blinking</code>, the blink attribute will be
		460	ignored.</p>
		461	<p>On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity

		515	<p>
		516	</p>
		517	<h3><a name="how_does_rxvtunicode_choose_fonts">How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?</a></h3>
		518	<p>Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
		519	fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of
		520	your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want
		521	to display.</p>
		522	<p><strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
		523	font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
		524	bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't
		525	resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial
		526	intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe
		527	the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct.</p>
		528	<p>In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,
		529	e.g.:</p>
		530	<pre>
		531	urxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...</pre>
		532	<p>When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
		533	font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
		534	next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
		535	search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server.</p>
		536	<p>The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base
		537	font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which
		538	must be the same due to the way terminals work.</p>
		539	<p>
		540	</p>
		541	<h3><a name="why_do_some_chinese_characters_look_so_different_than_others">Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?</a></h3>
		542	<p>This is because there is a difference between script and language --
		543	rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
		544	as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
		545	sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
		546	display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
		547	chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
		548	non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
		549	-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
		550	chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.</p>
		551	<p>The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
		552	list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
		553	a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
		554	first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.</p>
		555	<p>In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
		556	runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
		557	fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
		558	has been designed yet).</p>
		559	<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>

		580	<p>You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the

		585	<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>urxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For
		586	example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify

		742	<p>The default configuration tries to be xterm-like, which I don't like that
		743	much, but it's least surprise to regular users.</p>
		744	<p>As a rxvt or rxvt-unicode user, you are practically supposed to invest
		745	time into customising your terminal. To get you started, here is the
		746	author's .Xdefaults entries, with comments on what they do. It's certainly
		747	not <em>typical</em>, but what's typical...</p>
		748	<pre>
		749	URxvt.cutchars: "()*,<>[]{}\|'
		750	URxvt.print-pipe: cat >/tmp/xxx</pre>
		751	<p>These are just for testing stuff.</p>
		752	<pre>
		753	URxvt.imLocale: ja_JP.UTF-8
		754	URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None</pre>
		755	<p>This tells rxvt-unicode to use a special locale when communicating with
		756	the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit
		757	type, which requires the <code>xim-onthespot</code> perl extension but rewards me
		758	with correct-looking fonts.</p>
		759	<pre>
		760	URxvt.perl-lib: /root/lib/urxvt

		766	<p>This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library
		767	directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I
		768	develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I
		769	write.</p>
		770	<p>The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware
		771	and tells it to convert perl error messages into vi-commands to load the

		773	<pre>
		774	URxvt.scrollstyle: plain
		775	URxvt.secondaryScroll: true</pre>
		776	<p>As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the

		778	apps, like screen, so lines scrolled out of screen end up in urxvt's
		779	scrollback buffer.</p>

		787	URxvt.highlightColor: #f0f0f0</pre>
		788	<p>Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but
		789	these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background
		790	to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the
		791	default foreground colour.</p>
		792	<pre>

		828	urxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true</pre>
		829	<p>I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be
		830	overwhelmed. A special note: the <code>9x15bold</code> mentioned above is actually
		831	the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different
		832	font (different glyphs for <code>;</code> and many other harmless characters),
		833	while the second font is actually the <code>9x15bold</code> from XFree4/XOrg. The
		834	bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare
		835	characters, too. When editing sources with vim, I use italic for comments
		836	and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased.</p>
		837	<p>Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my
		838	purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold)
		839	font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and
		840	normal fonts.</p>
		841	<p>Please note that I used the <code>urxvt</code> instance name and not the <code>URxvt</code>
		842	class name. Thats because I use different configs for different purposes,
		843	for example, my IRC window is started with <code>-name IRC</code>, and uses these
		844	defaults:</p>
		845	<pre>
		846	IRC*title: IRC
		847	IRC*geometry: 87x12+535+542
		848	IRC*saveLines: 0
		849	IRC*mapAlert: true
		850	IRC*font: suxuseuro

		854	IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007</pre>
		855	<p><code>Alt-Shift-1</code> and <code>Alt-Shift-2</code> switch between two different font
		856	sizes. <code>suxuseuro</code> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read)
		857	stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something
		858	complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.</p>
		859	<p>The above is all in my <code>.Xdefaults</code> (I don't use <code>.Xresources</code> nor
		860	<code>xrdb</code>). I also have some resources in a separate <code>.Xdefaults-hostname</code>
		861	file for different hosts, for example, on ym main desktop, I use:</p>
		862	<pre>
		863	URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t
		864	URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t

		866	URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t
		867	URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test</pre>
		868	<p>The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows
		869	in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop
		870	immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the
		871	same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key
		872	combinations :-></p>

		875	<h3><a name="why_doesn_t_rxvtunicode_read_my_resources">Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?</a></h3>
		876	<p>Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
		877	applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads
		878	resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
		879	ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
		880	<em>$HOME/.Xdefaults</em> when no resources are attached to the display.</p>
		881	<p>If you have or use an <em>$HOME/.Xresources</em> file, chances are that
		882	resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to
		883	re-login after every change (or run <em>xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources</em>).</p>
		884	<p>Also consider the form resources have to use:</p>
		885	<pre>
		886	URxvt.resource: value</pre>
		887	<p>If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
		888	specifying resources), make sure you understand whether and why it
		889	works. If unsure, use the form above.</p>

		1027	<p>
		1028	</p>
		1029	<h3><a name="is_there_an_option_to_switch_encodings">Is there an option to switch encodings?</a></h3>
		1030	<p>Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no
		1031	specific ``utf-8'' mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about
		1032	UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.</p>
		1033	<p>The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
		1034	the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
		1035	applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width
		1036	and code number. This mechanism is the <em>locale</em>. Applications not using
		1037	that info will have problems (for example, <code>xterm</code> gets the width of
		1038	characters wrong as it uses its own, locale-independent table under all
		1039	locales).</p>
		1040	<p>Rxvt-unicode uses the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> locale category to select encoding. All
		1041	programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
		1042	interpretation of characters.</p>
		1043	<p>Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
		1044	is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.</p>
		1045	<p>On most systems, the content of the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> environment variable
		1046	contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
		1047	locale. Common names for locales are <code>en_US.UTF-8</code>, <code>de_DE.ISO-8859-15</code>,
		1048	<code>ja_JP.EUC-JP</code>, i.e. <code>language_country.encoding</code>, but other forms
		1049	(i.e. <code>de</code> or <code>german</code>) are also common.</p>
		1050	<p>Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
		1051	the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
		1052	i.e. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code> and <code>ja_JP.UTF-8</code> are the normally same to
		1053	rxvt-unicode.</p>
		1054	<p>If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start
		1055	rxvt-unicode with the correct <code>LC_CTYPE</code> category.</p>
		1056	<p>
		1057	</p>
		1058	<h3><a name="can_i_switch_locales_at_runtime">Can I switch locales at runtime?</a></h3>
		1059	<p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets
		1060	rxvt-unicode's idea of <code>LC_CTYPE</code>.</p>
		1061	<pre>
		1062	printf '\33]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS</pre>
		1063	<p>See also the previous answer.</p>
		1064	<p>Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in
		1065	one locale (e.g. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code>) but some programs don't support it
		1066	(e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start <code>xjdic</code>, which
		1067	first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later:</p>
		1068	<pre>
		1069	printf '\33]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS
		1070	xjdic -js
		1071	printf '\33]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8</pre>
		1072	<p>You can also use xterm's <code>luit</code> program, which usually works fine, except
		1073	for some locales where character width differs between program- and
		1074	rxvt-unicode-locales.</p>

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
831	characters wrong as it uses it's own, locale-independent table under all
832	locales).</p>
833	</dd>
834	<dd>
835	<p>Rxvt-unicode uses the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> locale category to select encoding. All

839	<dd>
840	<p>Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
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
848	(i.e. <code>de</code> or <code>german</code>) are also common.</p>
849	</dd>
850	<dd>
851	<p>Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for

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>

1095	</dt>
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 <termios.h>, 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>
1122	</dd>
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 "^[[36h"</pre>
1140	</dd>
1141	<dd>
1142	<pre>
1143	# use Backspace = ^?
1144	$ stty erase ^?
1145	$ echo -n "^[[36l"</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>
1165	</dd>
1166	<dd>
1167	<p>Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.</p>

1238	If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled
