		182	<p>Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
		183	simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should
		184	give you tabs:</p>
		185	<pre> urxvt -pe tabbed

133	<p>If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended	191	or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be
134	more and more.</p>	192	embedded into other programs, as witnessed by <cite>doc/rxvt-tabbed</cite> or
135	<p>To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:</p>	193	the upcoming <code>Gtk2::URxvt</code> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt
		194	(murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application.</p>

		198	<div id="How_do_I_know_which_rxvt_unicode_ver-2">
		199	<p>The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape
		200	sequence <code>ESC [ 8 n</code> sets the window title to the version number. When

		207	<p>Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you
		208	don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that
		209	you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design,
		210	when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded
		211	accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.</p>
		212	<p>Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger
		213	scrollback buffers: Without <code>--enable-unicode3</code>, rxvt-unicode will use
		214	6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a
		215	kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full)
		216	use 10 Megabytes of memory. With <code>--enable-unicode3</code> it gets worse, as
		217	rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.</p>

166	<p>These are caused by the <code>readline</code> perl extension. Under normal
167	circumstances, it will move your cursor around when you click into the
168	line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment,
169	but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in some
170	cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly.</p>
171	<p>You can permamently switch this feature off by disabling the <code>readline</code>

177	<h2><a name="why_doesn_t_rxvtunicode_read_my_resources">Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?</a></h2>
178	<p>Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
179	applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads
180	resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
181	ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
182	<em>$HOME/.Xdefaults</em> when no resources are attached to the display.</p>
183	<p>If you have or use an <em>$HOME/.Xresources</em> file, chances are that
184	resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to
185	re-login after every change (or run <em>xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources</em>).</p>
186	<p>Also consider the form resources have to use:</p>
187	<pre>
188	URxvt.resource: value</pre>
189	<p>If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
190	specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
191	works. If unsure, use the form above.</p>
192	<p>
193	</p>
194	<h2><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></h2>
195	<p>First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so
196	you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
197	bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
198	of passage: ... and you failed.</p>
199	<p>Here are four ways to get transparency. <strong>Do</strong> read the manpage and option
200	descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it!</p>
201	<p>1. Use inheritPixmap:</p>
202	<pre>
203	Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
204	rxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40</pre>
205	<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
206	support, or you are unable to read.</p>
207	<p>2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you
208	to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
209	your picture with gimp:</p>
210	<pre>
211	convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
212	rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre>
213	<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or you
214	are unable to read.</p>
215	<p>3. Use an ARGB visual:</p>
216	<pre>
217	rxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc</pre>
218	<p>This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that
219	doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't
220	there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary
221	bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that
222	doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place.</p>
223	<p>4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:</p>
224	<pre>
225	xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \
226	-set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000</pre>
227	<p>Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace <code>0xc0000000</code>
228	by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and
229	your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.</p>

		381	<p>2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you

		564	<div id="How_does_rxvt_unicode_choose_fonts_C">
		565	<p>Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
		566	fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of
		567	your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want
		568	to display.</p>
		569	<p><strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
		570	font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
		571	bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't
		572	resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial
		573	intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe
		574	the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct.</p>
		575	<p>In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,
		576	e.g.:</p>
		577	<pre> urxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...
		578
		579	</pre>
		580	<p>When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
		581	font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
		582	next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
		583	search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server.</p>
		584	<p>The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base
		585	font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which
		586	must be the same due to the way terminals work.</p>
		587
		588	</div>
		589	<h3 id="Why_do_some_chinese_characters_look_">Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?</h3>
		590	<div id="Why_do_some_chinese_characters_look_-2">
		591	<p>This is because there is a difference between script and language --
		592	rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
		593	as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
		594	sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
		595	display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
		596	chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
		597	non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
		598	-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
		599	chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.</p>
		600	<p>The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
		601	list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
		602	a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
		603	first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.</p>
		604	<p>In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
		605	runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
		606	fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
		607	has been designed yet).</p>
		608	<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>

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

		647	rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.</p>
		648	<p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
		649	identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
		650	<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the urxvtperl(3) manpage. For
		651	example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify
		652	this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p>
		653	<pre> URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
		654

		656	<p>This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
		657	extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
		658	scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any
		659	other combination either by setting the <strong>searchable-scrollback</strong> resource:</p>

		672	<p>These are caused by the <code>readline</code> perl extension. Under normal

		674	line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment,
		675	but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in some
		676	cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly.</p>
		677	<p>You can permanently switch this feature off by disabling the <code>readline</code>

		687	specific details were reported so far. It is possible that this is caused
		688	by the wrong <code>TERM</code> setting, although the details of whether and how

		699	your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys)
		700	does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then
		701	rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method.</p>
		702	<p>In this case either do not specify a <strong>preeditStyle</strong> or specify more than

		725	<div id="What_s_with_the_strange_Backspace_De-2">
		726	<p>Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
		727	Backspace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
		728	question) there are two standard values that can be used for
		729	Backspace: <code>^H</code> and <code>^?</code>.</p>
		730	<p>Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
		731	policy of using <code>^?</code> when unsure, because it's the one and only correct
		732	choice :).</p>
		733	<p>Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
		734	of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
		735	started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
		736	system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will
		737	be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).</p>
		738	<p>For starting a new rxvt-unicode:</p>
		739	<pre> # use Backspace = ^H
		740	$ stty erase ^H
		741	$ urxvt
		742
		743	# use Backspace = ^?
		744	$ stty erase ^?
		745	$ urxvt
		746
		747	</pre>
		748	<p>Toggle with <code>ESC [ 36 h</code> / <code>ESC [ 36 l</code>.</p>
		749	<p>For an existing rxvt-unicode:</p>
		750	<pre> # use Backspace = ^H
		751	$ stty erase ^H
		752	$ echo -n "^[[36h"
		753
		754	# use Backspace = ^?
		755	$ stty erase ^?
		756	$ echo -n "^[[36l"
		757
		758	</pre>
		759	<p>This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
		760	if you use Backspace = <code>^H</code>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
		761	properly reflects that.</p>
		762	<p>The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
		763	To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
		764	key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
		765	(<code>ESC [ 3 ~</code>) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.</p>
		766	<p>Some other Backspace problems:</p>
		767	<p>some editors use termcap/terminfo,
		768	some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
		769	GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.</p>
		770	<p>Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.</p>

		929	<p>I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be

		931	the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different
		932	font (different glyphs for <code>;</code> and many other harmless characters),
		933	while the second font is actually the <code>9x15bold</code> from XFree4/XOrg. The
		934	bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare
		935	characters, too. When editing sources with vim, I use italic for comments
		936	and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased.</p>
		937	<p>Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my
		938	purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold)
		939	font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and
		940	normal fonts.</p>
		941	<p>Please note that I used the <code>urxvt</code> instance name and not the <code>URxvt</code>
		942	class name. Thats because I use different configs for different purposes,
		943	for example, my IRC window is started with <code>-name IRC</code>, and uses these
		944	defaults:</p>
		945	<pre> IRC*title: IRC
		946	IRC*geometry: 87x12+535+542

		958	stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something
		959	complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.</p>
		960	<p>The above is all in my <code>.Xdefaults</code> (I don't use <code>.Xresources</code> nor
		961	<code>xrdb</code>). I also have some resources in a separate <code>.Xdefaults-hostname</code>
		962	file for different hosts, for example, on ym main desktop, I use:</p>

		984	<p>If you have or use an <cite>$HOME/.Xresources</cite> file, chances are that

515	<p><strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement	1162	<p>The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting

522	e.g.:</p>	1169	<p>Rxvt-unicode uses the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> locale category to select encoding. All
		1170	programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the

		1172	<p>Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
		1173	is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.</p>
		1174	<p>On most systems, the content of the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> environment variable
		1175	contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
		1176	locale. Common names for locales are <code>en_US.UTF-8</code>, <code>de_DE.ISO-8859-15</code>,
		1177	<code>ja_JP.EUC-JP</code>, i.e. <code>language_country.encoding</code>, but other forms
		1178	(i.e. <code>de</code> or <code>german</code>) are also common.</p>
		1179	<p>Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
		1180	the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
		1181	i.e. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code> and <code>ja_JP.UTF-8</code> are the normally same to
		1182	rxvt-unicode.</p>

535	<p>This is because there is a difference between script and language --
536	rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
537	as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
538	sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
539	display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
540	chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
541	non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
542	-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
543	chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.</p>
544	<p>The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
545	list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
546	a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
547	first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.</p>
548	<p>In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
549	runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
550	fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
551	has been designed yet).</p>
552	<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>

555	<h2><a name="why_does_rxvtunicode_sometimes_leave_pixel_droppings">Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?</a></h2>
556	<p>Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character
557	size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might
558	contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid
559	these characters. For characters that are just ``a bit'' too wide a special
560	``careful'' rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.</p>
561	<p>All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
562	however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding
563	box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to
564	ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these
565	cases).</p>
566	<p>It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype,
567	or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using
568	the <code>-lsp</code> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you
569	might be forced to use a different font.</p>
570	<p>All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding
571	box data is correct.</p>

		1293	<p>You should not overwrite the <code>perl-ext-common</code> snd <code>perl-ext</code> resources

680	<p>Rxvt-unicode uses the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> locale category to select encoding. All

683	<p>Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
684	is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.</p>
685	<p>On most systems, the content of the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> environment variable
686	contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
687	locale. Common names for locales are <code>en_US.UTF-8</code>, <code>de_DE.ISO-8859-15</code>,
688	<code>ja_JP.EUC-JP</code>, i.e. <code>language_country.encoding</code>, but other forms

692	i.e. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code> and <code>ja_JP.UTF-8</code> are the normally same to

694	<p>If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start

697	</p>
698	<h2><a name="can_i_switch_locales_at_runtime">Can I switch locales at runtime?</a></h2>
699	<p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets

701	<pre>
702	printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS</pre>
703	<p>See also the previous answer.</p>
704	<p>Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in
705	one locale (e.g. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code>) but some programs don't support it
706	(e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start <code>xjdic</code>, which
707	first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later:</p>
708	<pre>
709	printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS
710	xjdic -js
711	printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8</pre>
712	<p>You can also use xterm's <code>luit</code> program, which usually works fine, except
713	for some locales where character width differs between program- and
714	rxvt-unicode-locales.</p>

716	</p>
717	<h2><a name="can_i_switch_the_fonts_at_runtime">Can I switch the fonts at runtime?</a></h2>
718	<p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same

720	<pre>
721	printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic"</pre>
722	<p>This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a

750	<p>Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by
751	design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory
752	leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at
753	exit time. <strong>kinput2</strong> (and derived input methods) generally succeeds,
754	while <strong>SCIM</strong> (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however,
755	crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides cooperate.</p>
756	<p>So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers.</p>

759	<h2><a name="rxvtunicode_uses_gobs_of_memory__how_can_i_reduce_that">Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?</a></h2>
760	<p>Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you
761	don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that
762	you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design,
763	when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded
764	accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.</p>
765	<p>Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger
766	scrollback buffers: Without <code>--enable-unicode3</code>, rxvt-unicode will use
767	6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a
768	kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full)
769	use 10 Megabytes of memory. With <code>--enable-unicode3</code> it gets worse, as
770	rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.</p>
771	<p>
772	</p>
773	<h2><a name="can_i_speed_up_xft_rendering_somehow">Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow?</a></h2>
774	<p>Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as
775	it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable
776	antialiasing (by appending <code>:antialias=false</code>), which saves lots of
777	memory and also speeds up rendering considerably.</p>

780	<h2><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></h2>
781	<p>Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to
782	fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core
783	fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has
784	antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they
785	look best that way.</p>
786	<p>If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually.</p>

861	<h2><a name="what_s_with_the_strange_backspace_delete_key_behaviour">What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?</a></h2>
862	<p>Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
863	BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
864	question) there are two standard values that can be used for
865	Backspace: <code>^H</code> and <code>^?</code>.</p>
866	<p>Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
867	policy of using <code>^?</code> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
868	choice :).</p>
869	<p>Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
870	of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't
871	started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
872	system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will
873	be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).</p>
874	<p>For starting a new rxvt-unicode:</p>
875	<pre>
876	# use Backspace = ^H
877	$ stty erase ^H
878	$ rxvt</pre>
879	<pre>
880	# use Backspace = ^?
881	$ stty erase ^?
882	$ rxvt</pre>
883	<p>Toggle with <code>ESC [ 36 h</code> / <code>ESC [ 36 l</code>.</p>
884	<p>For an existing rxvt-unicode:</p>
885	<pre>
886	# use Backspace = ^H
887	$ stty erase ^H
888	$ echo -n "^[[36h"</pre>
889	<pre>
890	# use Backspace = ^?
891	$ stty erase ^?
892	$ echo -n "^[[36l"</pre>
893	<p>This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
894	if you use Backspace = <code>^H</code>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
895	properly reflects that.</p>
896	<p>The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
897	To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
898	key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
899	(<code>ESC [ 3 ~</code>) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.</p>
900	<p>Some other Backspace problems:</p>
901	<p>some editors use termcap/terminfo,
902	some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
903	GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.</p>
904	<p>Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.</p>
