| 165 |
<p>Before sending me mail, you could go to IRC: <code>irc.freenode.net</code>, |
| 166 |
channel <code>#rxvt-unicode</code> has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might be |
| 167 |
interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not FAQs :).</p> |
| 168 |
<p> |
| 169 |
</p> |
| 170 |
<h3><a name="does_it_support_tabs__can_i_have_a_tabbed_rxvtunicode">Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?</a></h3> |
| 171 |
<p>Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a |
| 172 |
simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should |
| 173 |
give you tabs:</p> |
| 174 |
<pre> |
| 175 |
urxvt -pe tabbed</pre> |
| 176 |
<pre> |
| 177 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed</pre> |
| 178 |
<p>It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers |
| 179 |
or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be |
| 180 |
embedded into other programs, as witnessed by <em>doc/rxvt-tabbed</em> or |
| 181 |
the upcoming <code>Gtk2::URxvt</code> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt |
| 182 |
(murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application.</p> |
| 183 |
<p> |
| 184 |
</p> |
| 185 |
<h3><a name="how_do_i_know_which_rxvtunicode_version_i_m_using">How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?</a></h3> |
| 186 |
<p>The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape |
| 187 |
sequence <code>ESC [ 8 n</code> sets the window title to the version number. When |
| 188 |
using the urxvtc client, the version displayed is that of the |
| 189 |
daemon.</p> |
| 190 |
<p> |
| 191 |
</p> |
| 192 |
<h3><a name="rxvtunicode_uses_gobs_of_memory__how_can_i_reduce_that">Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?</a></h3> |
| 193 |
<p>Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you |
| 194 |
don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that |
| 195 |
you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design, |
| 196 |
when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded |
| 197 |
accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.</p> |
| 198 |
<p>Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger |
| 199 |
scrollback buffers: Without <code>--enable-unicode3</code>, rxvt-unicode will use |
| 200 |
6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a |
| 201 |
kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full) |
| 202 |
use 10 Megabytes of memory. With <code>--enable-unicode3</code> it gets worse, as |
| 203 |
rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.</p> |
| 204 |
<p> |
| 205 |
</p> |
| 206 |
<h3><a name="how_can_i_start_urxvtd_in_a_racefree_way">How can I start urxvtd in a race-free way?</a></h3> |
| 207 |
<p>Try <code>urxvtd -f -o</code>, which tells urxvtd to open the |
| 208 |
display, create the listening socket and then fork.</p> |
| 209 |
<p> |
| 210 |

<h3><a name="how_do_i_distinguish_wether_i_m_running_rxvtunicode_or_a_regular_xterm_i_need_this_to_decide_about_setting_colors_etc_">How do I distinguish wether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? I need this to decide about setting colors etc.</a></h3> |
| 212 |
<p>The original rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable ``COLORTERM'', |
| 213 |
so you can check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, |
| 214 |
slrn, Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide |
| 215 |
whether or not to use color.</p> |

<h3><a name="how_do_i_set_the_correct__full_ip_address_for_the_display_variable">How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable?</a></h3> |
| 219 |
<p>If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled |
| 220 |
insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
| 221 |
snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
| 222 |
wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then |
| 223 |
the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a |
| 224 |
regular xterm.</p> |
| 225 |

<h3><a name="how_do_i_compile_the_manual_pages_on_my_own">How do I compile the manual pages on my own?</a></h3> |
| 243 |
<p>You need to have a recent version of perl installed as <em>/usr/bin/perl</em>, |
| 244 |
one that comes with <em>pod2man</em>, <em>pod2text</em> and <em>pod2html</em>. Then go to |
| 245 |
the doc subdirectory and enter <code>make alldoc</code>.</p> |

<h3><a name="isn_t_rxvtunicode_supposed_to_be_small_don_t_all_those_features_bloat">Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?</a></h3> |
| 249 |
<p>I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra |
| 250 |
bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see |
| 251 |
that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being |
| 252 |
compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even |
| 253 |
with <code>--disable-everything</code>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many |
| 254 |
features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are |
| 255 |
already in use in this mode.</p> |

<p>When you <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (which <em>is</em> unfair, as this involves xft |
| 261 |
and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my |
| 262 |
libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.</p> |

1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything</pre> |
| 267 |
<p>The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian |
| 268 |
encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else |
| 269 |
and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those |
| 270 |
encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ |
| 271 |
compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of |
| 272 |
memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a |
| 273 |
few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when |
| 274 |
not used.</p> |
| 275 |
<p>Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one, |
| 276 |
a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more |
| 277 |
memory.</p> |
| 278 |
<p>Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this |
| 279 |
still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal |
| 280 |
(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra |
| 281 |
43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of |
| 282 |
startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares |
| 283 |
extremely well *g*.</p> |

<h3><a name="why_c____isn_t_that_unportable_bloated_uncool">Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?</a></h3> |
| 287 |
<p>Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had |
| 288 |
to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction |
| 289 |
of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even |
| 290 |
shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++.</p> |
| 291 |
<p>My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in |
| 292 |
the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits |
| 293 |
are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix |
| 294 |
domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself.</p> |
| 295 |
<p>Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs |
| 296 |
in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in |
| 297 |
C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is |
| 298 |
not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my |
| 299 |
system with a minimal config:</p> |

<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> |
| 320 |
<p>First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so |
| 321 |
you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may |
| 322 |
bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite |
| 323 |
of passage: ... and you failed.</p> |
| 324 |
<p>Here are four ways to get transparency. <strong>Do</strong> read the manpage and option |
| 325 |
descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it!</p> |
| 326 |
<p>1. Use inheritPixmap:</p> |
| 327 |
<pre> |
| 328 |
Esetroot wallpaper.jpg |
| 329 |
urxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40</pre> |
| 330 |
<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting |
| 331 |
support, or you are unable to read.</p> |
| 332 |
<p>2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you |
| 333 |
to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever |
| 334 |
your picture with gimp or any other tool:</p> |
| 335 |
<pre> |
| 336 |
convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm |
| 337 |
urxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre> |
| 338 |
<p>That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or you |
| 339 |
are unable to read.</p> |
| 340 |
<p>3. Use an ARGB visual:</p> |
| 341 |
<pre> |
| 342 |
urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc</pre> |
| 343 |
<p>This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that |
| 344 |
doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't |
| 345 |
there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary |
| 346 |
bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that |
| 347 |
doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place.</p> |
| 348 |
<p>4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:</p> |
| 349 |
<pre> |
| 350 |
xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \ |
| 351 |
-set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000</pre> |
| 352 |
<p>Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace <code>0xc0000000</code> |
| 353 |
by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and |
| 354 |
your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.</p> |
| 355 |
<p> |
| 356 |
</p> |
| 357 |
<h3><a name="why_does_rxvtunicode_sometimes_leave_pixel_droppings">Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?</a></h3> |
| 358 |
<p>Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character |
| 359 |
size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might |
| 360 |
contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid |
| 361 |
these characters. For characters that are just ``a bit'' too wide a special |
| 362 |
``careful'' rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.</p> |
| 363 |
<p>All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
| 364 |
however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding |
| 365 |
box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to |
| 366 |
ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these |
| 367 |
cases).</p> |
| 368 |
<p>It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, |
| 369 |
or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using |
| 370 |
the <code>-lsp</code> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you |
| 371 |
might be forced to use a different font.</p> |
| 372 |
<p>All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding |
| 373 |
box data is correct.</p> |

<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> |
| 377 |
<p>First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings |
| 378 |
(<code>TERM=rxvt-unicode</code>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then |
| 379 |
make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise |
| 380 |
rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect:</p> |
| 381 |
<pre> |
| 382 |
URxvt.colorBD: white |
| 383 |
URxvt.colorIT: green</pre> |
| 384 |
<p> |
| 385 |
</p> |
| 386 |
<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> |
| 387 |
<p>For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird |
| 388 |
colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the standard |
| 389 |
8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of course, to fix |
| 390 |
these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very good reasons.</p> |
| 391 |
<p>In the meantime, you can either edit your <code>rxvt-unicode</code> terminfo |
| 392 |
definition to only claim 8 colour support or use <code>TERM=rxvt</code>, which will |
| 393 |
fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features.</p> |
| 394 |
<p> |
| 395 |
</p> |
| 396 |
<h3><a name="can_i_switch_the_fonts_at_runtime">Can I switch the fonts at runtime?</a></h3> |
| 397 |
<p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same |
| 398 |
effect as using the <code>-fn</code> switch, and takes effect immediately:</p> |
| 399 |
<pre> |
| 400 |
printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic"</pre> |
| 401 |
<p>This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
| 402 |
japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
| 403 |
japanese fonts would only be in your way.</p> |
| 404 |
<p>You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching.</p> |
| 405 |
<p> |
| 406 |
</p> |
| 407 |
<h3><a name="why_do_italic_characters_look_as_if_clipped">Why do italic characters look as if clipped?</a></h3> |
| 408 |
<p>Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
| 409 |
example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font <code>xft:Bitstream Vera Sans |
| 410 |
Mono</code> completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround might be to |
| 411 |
enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this:</p> |
| 412 |
<pre> |
| 413 |
URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
| 414 |
URxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true</pre> |
| 415 |
<p> |
| 416 |
</p> |
| 417 |
<h3><a name="can_i_speed_up_xft_rendering_somehow">Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow?</a></h3> |
| 418 |
<p>Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as |
| 419 |
it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable |
| 420 |
antialiasing (by appending <code>:antialias=false</code>), which saves lots of |
| 421 |
memory and also speeds up rendering considerably.</p> |
| 422 |
<p> |
| 423 |
</p> |
| 424 |
<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> |
| 425 |
<p>Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
| 426 |
fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
| 427 |
fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has |
| 428 |
antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they |
| 429 |
look best that way.</p> |
| 430 |
<p>If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually.</p> |
| 431 |
<p> |
| 432 |
</p> |
| 433 |
<h3><a name="what_s_with_this_bold_blink_stuff">What's with this bold/blink stuff?</a></h3> |
| 434 |
<p>If no bold colour is set via <code>colorBD:</code>, bold will invert text using the |
| 435 |
standard foreground colour.</p> |
| 436 |
<p>For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the |
| 437 |
text blink when compiled with <code>--enable-blinking</code>. with standard |
| 438 |
colours. Without <code>--enable-blinking</code>, the blink attribute will be |
| 439 |
ignored.</p> |
| 440 |
<p>On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity |
| 441 |
foreground/background colors.</p> |
| 442 |
<p>color0-7 are the low-intensity colors.</p> |
| 443 |
<p>color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors.</p> |
| 444 |

<h3><a name="how_does_rxvtunicode_choose_fonts">How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?</a></h3> |
| 497 |
<p>Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is |
| 498 |
fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
| 499 |
your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want |
| 500 |
to display.</p> |
| 501 |
<p><strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |
| 502 |
font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
| 503 |
bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't |
| 504 |
resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial |
| 505 |
intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe |
| 506 |
the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct.</p> |
| 507 |
<p>In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
| 508 |
e.g.:</p> |
| 509 |
<pre> |
| 510 |
urxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3...</pre> |
| 511 |
<p>When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
| 512 |
font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the |
| 513 |
next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
| 514 |
search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server.</p> |
| 515 |
<p>The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base |
| 516 |
font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which |
| 517 |
must be the same due to the way terminals work.</p> |
| 518 |
<p> |
| 519 |
</p> |
| 520 |
<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> |
| 521 |
<p>This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
| 522 |
rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is, |
| 523 |
as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first |
| 524 |
sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
| 525 |
display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many |
| 526 |
chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
| 527 |
non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
| 528 |
-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
| 529 |
chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.</p> |
| 530 |
<p>The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
| 531 |
list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
| 532 |
a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
| 533 |
first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.</p> |
| 534 |
<p>In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
| 535 |
runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different |
| 536 |
fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this |
| 537 |
has been designed yet).</p> |
| 538 |
<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> |

| 562 |
<p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
| 563 |
identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section |
| 564 |
<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>urxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For |
| 565 |
example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify |
| 566 |
this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p> |
| 567 |
<pre> |
| 568 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup</pre> |
| 569 |
<p>This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup |
| 570 |
extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example, |
| 571 |
scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any |
| 572 |
other combination either by setting the <strong>searchable-scrollback</strong> resource:</p> |
| 573 |
<pre> |
| 574 |
URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s</pre> |
| 575 |

| 582 |
<p>These are caused by the <code>readline</code> perl extension. Under normal |
| 583 |
circumstances, it will move your cursor around when you click into the |
| 584 |
line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment, |
| 585 |
but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in some |
| 586 |
cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly.</p> |
| 587 |
<p>You can permamently switch this feature off by disabling the <code>readline</code> |
| 588 |
extension:</p> |
| 589 |
<pre> |
| 590 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-readline</pre> |

<p>Some Debian GNUL/Linux users seem to have this problem, although no |
| 595 |
specific details were reported so far. It is possible that this is caused |
| 596 |
by the wrong <code>TERM</code> setting, although the details of wether and how |
| 597 |
this can happen are unknown, as <code>TERM=rxvt</code> should offer a compatible |
| 598 |
keymap. See the answer to the previous question, and please report if that |

helped.</p> |

<h3><a name="my_compose__multi_key__key_is_no_longer_working_">My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working.</a></h3> |
| 603 |
<p>The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set |
| 604 |
correctly, or you specified a <strong>preeditStyle</strong> that is not supported by |
| 605 |
your input method. For example, if you specified <strong>OverTheSpot</strong> and |
| 606 |
your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) |
| 607 |
does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then |
| 608 |
rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method.</p> |
| 609 |
<p>In this case either do not specify a <strong>preeditStyle</strong> or specify more than |
| 610 |
one pre-edit style, such as <strong>OverTheSpot,Root,None</strong>.</p> |

<h3><a name="what_s_with_the_strange_backspace_delete_key_behaviour">What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?</a></h3> |
| 630 |
<p>Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
| 631 |
BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
| 632 |
question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
| 633 |
Backspace: <code>^H</code> and <code>^?</code>.</p> |
| 634 |
<p>Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian |
| 635 |
policy of using <code>^?</code> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct |
| 636 |
choice :).</p> |
| 637 |
<p>Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value |
| 638 |
of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't |
| 639 |
started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the |
| 640 |
system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will |
| 641 |
be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).</p> |
| 642 |
<p>For starting a new rxvt-unicode:</p> |
| 643 |
<pre> |
| 644 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
| 645 |
$ stty erase ^H |
| 646 |
$ urxvt</pre> |
| 647 |
<pre> |
| 648 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
| 649 |
$ stty erase ^? |
| 650 |
$ urxvt</pre> |
| 651 |
<p>Toggle with <code>ESC [ 36 h</code> / <code>ESC [ 36 l</code>.</p> |
| 652 |
<p>For an existing rxvt-unicode:</p> |
| 653 |
<pre> |
| 654 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
| 655 |
$ stty erase ^H |
| 656 |
$ echo -n "^[[36h"</pre> |
| 657 |
<pre> |
| 658 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
| 659 |
$ stty erase ^? |
| 660 |
$ echo -n "^[[36l"</pre> |
| 661 |
<p>This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |
| 662 |
if you use Backspace = <code>^H</code>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |
| 663 |
properly reflects that.</p> |
| 664 |
<p>The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem. |
| 665 |
To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete |
| 666 |
key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute |
| 667 |
(<code>ESC [ 3 ~</code>) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.</p> |
| 668 |
<p>Some other Backspace problems:</p> |
| 669 |
<p>some editors use termcap/terminfo, |
| 670 |
some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H, |
| 671 |
GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.</p> |
| 672 |
<p>Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.</p> |

<h3><a name="why_doesn_t_rxvtunicode_read_my_resources">Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?</a></h3> |
| 721 |
<p>Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X |
| 722 |
applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads |
| 723 |
resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will |
| 724 |
ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read |
| 725 |
<em>$HOME/.Xdefaults</em> when no resources are attached to the display.</p> |
| 726 |
<p>If you have or use an <em>$HOME/.Xresources</em> file, chances are that |
| 727 |
resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to |
| 728 |
re-login after every change (or run <em>xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources</em>).</p> |
| 729 |
<p>Also consider the form resources have to use:</p> |
| 730 |
<pre> |
| 731 |
URxvt.resource: value</pre> |
| 732 |
<p>If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of |
| 733 |
specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it |
| 734 |
works. If unsure, use the form above.</p> |

<h3><a name="when_i_login_to_another_system_it_tells_me_about_missing_terminfo_data">When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?</a></h3> |
| 738 |
<p>The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
| 739 |
as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises).</p> |
| 740 |
<p>The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can |
| 741 |
be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp):</p> |
| 742 |
<pre> |
| 743 |
REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
| 744 |
infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti"</pre> |
| 745 |
<p>... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system,</p> |
| 746 |
<p>If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
| 747 |
<code>TERM=rxvt</code> or even <code>TERM=xterm</code>, and live with the small number of |
| 748 |
problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
| 749 |
colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
| 750 |
quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though.</p> |
| 751 |
<p>If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you |
| 752 |
can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a |
| 753 |
resource to set it:</p> |
| 754 |
<pre> |
| 755 |
URxvt.termName: rxvt</pre> |
| 756 |
<p>If you don't plan to use <strong>rxvt</strong> (quite common...) you could also replace |
| 757 |
the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one and use <code>TERM=rxvt</code>.</p> |
| 758 |

<h3><a name="tic_outputs_some_error_when_compiling_the_terminfo_entry_"><code>tic</code> outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry.</a></h3> |

<p>One reason you might want this is that some distributions or operating |

systems still compile some programs using the long-obsoleted termcap |
| 772 |
library (Fedora Core's bash is one example) and rely on a termcap entry |
| 773 |
for <code>rxvt-unicode</code>.</p> |
| 774 |
<p>You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many cases. |
| 775 |
You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program |
| 776 |
like this:</p> |
| 777 |
<pre> |
| 778 |
infocmp -C rxvt-unicode</pre> |
| 779 |

by setting <code>TERM</code> to <code>rxvt</code>, which doesn't have these extra |

<p>Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same <code>LC_CTYPE</code> setting as the |

something else, e.g. <code>en_GB.UTF-8</code>. Needless to say, this is not going to work.</p> |

| 856 |
displays this (also, <code>perl -e0</code> can be used to check locale settings, as |
| 857 |
it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). If it displays something |
| 858 |
like:</p> |
| 859 |
<pre> |
| 860 |
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ...</pre> |
| 861 |
<p>Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system.</p> |
| 862 |
<p>If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then |
| 863 |
you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't |
| 864 |
support locales :(</p> |

</p> |
| 871 |
<h3><a name="is_there_an_option_to_switch_encodings">Is there an option to switch encodings?</a></h3> |
| 872 |
<p>Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
| 873 |
specific ``utf-8'' mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
| 874 |
UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.</p> |
| 875 |
<p>The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
| 876 |
the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
| 877 |
applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width |
| 878 |
and code number. This mechanism is the <em>locale</em>. Applications not using |
| 879 |
that info will have problems (for example, <code>xterm</code> gets the width of |
| 880 |
characters wrong as it uses it's own, locale-independent table under all |
| 881 |
locales).</p> |
| 882 |
<p>Rxvt-unicode uses the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> locale category to select encoding. All |
| 883 |
programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
| 884 |
interpretation of characters.</p> |
| 885 |
<p>Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
| 886 |
is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.</p> |
| 887 |
<p>On most systems, the content of the <code>LC_CTYPE</code> environment variable |
| 888 |
contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
| 889 |
locale. Common names for locales are <code>en_US.UTF-8</code>, <code>de_DE.ISO-8859-15</code>, |
| 890 |
<code>ja_JP.EUC-JP</code>, i.e. <code>language_country.encoding</code>, but other forms |
| 891 |
(i.e. <code>de</code> or <code>german</code>) are also common.</p> |
| 892 |
<p>Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
| 893 |
the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
| 894 |
i.e. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code> and <code>ja_JP.UTF-8</code> are the normally same to |
| 895 |
rxvt-unicode.</p> |
| 896 |
<p>If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |
| 897 |
rxvt-unicode with the correct <code>LC_CTYPE</code> category.</p> |
| 898 |
<p> |
| 899 |
</p> |
| 900 |
<h3><a name="can_i_switch_locales_at_runtime">Can I switch locales at runtime?</a></h3> |
| 901 |
<p>Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |
| 902 |
rxvt-unicode's idea of <code>LC_CTYPE</code>.</p> |
| 903 |
<pre> |
| 904 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS</pre> |
| 905 |
<p>See also the previous answer.</p> |
| 906 |
<p>Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in |
| 907 |
one locale (e.g. <code>de_DE.UTF-8</code>) but some programs don't support it |
| 908 |
(e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start <code>xjdic</code>, which |
| 909 |
first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later:</p> |
| 910 |
<pre> |
| 911 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
| 912 |
xjdic -js |
| 913 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8</pre> |
| 914 |
<p>You can also use xterm's <code>luit</code> program, which usually works fine, except |
| 915 |
for some locales where character width differs between program- and |
| 916 |
rxvt-unicode-locales.</p> |

<h3><a name="my_input_method_wants__some_encoding__but_i_want_utf8__what_can_i_do">My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do?</a></h3> |
| 920 |
<p>You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the |
| 921 |
terminal, using the resource <code>imlocale</code>:</p> |
| 922 |
<pre> |
| 923 |
URxvt.imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP</pre> |
| 924 |
<p>Now you can start your terminal with <code>LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8</code> and still |
| 925 |
use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able to |
| 926 |
input characters outside <code>EUC-JP</code> in a normal way then, as your input |
| 927 |
method limits you.</p> |

<h3><a name="rxvtunicode_crashes_when_the_x_input_method_changes_or_exits_">Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits.</a></h3> |
| 931 |
<p>Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
| 932 |
design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
| 933 |
leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at |
| 934 |
exit time. <strong>kinput2</strong> (and derived input methods) generally succeeds, |
| 935 |
while <strong>SCIM</strong> (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however, |
| 936 |
crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides cooperate.</p> |
| 937 |
<p>So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers.</p> |

<h3><a name="i_am_using_debian_gnu_linux_and_have_a_problem___">I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem...</a></h3> |
| 944 |
<p>The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
| 945 |
patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but |
| 946 |
unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to |
| 947 |
the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine |
| 948 |
version (<a href="http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode">http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode</a>) and try to reproduce |
| 949 |
the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to |
| 950 |
Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug |
| 951 |
Tracking System (use <code>reportbug</code> to report the bug).</p> |
| 952 |
<p>For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
| 953 |
probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
| 954 |
bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that |
| 955 |
might encounter the same issue.</p> |

<h3><a name="i_am_maintaining_rxvtunicode_for_distribution_os_xxx__any_recommendation">I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?</a></h3> |
| 959 |
<p>You should build one binary with the default options. <em>configure</em> |
| 960 |
now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
| 961 |
runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them, |
| 962 |
except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should |
| 963 |
be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in |
| 964 |
the future) depends on it.</p> |
| 965 |
<p>You should not overwrite the <code>perl-ext-common</code> snd <code>perl-ext</code> resources |
| 966 |
system-wide (except maybe with <code>defaults</code>). This will result in useful |
| 967 |
behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty |
| 968 |
<code>perl-ext-common</code> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the |
| 969 |
perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.</p> |
| 970 |
<p>If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
| 971 |
one with <code>--disable-everything</code> (very useful) and a maximal one with |
| 972 |
<a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of |
| 973 |
encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).</p> |

| 977 |
<p>It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly |
| 978 |
install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now.</p> |
| 979 |
<p>When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork |
| 980 |
into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some |
| 981 |
systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges |
| 982 |
immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep |
| 983 |
privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains |
| 984 |
things as perl interpreters, which might be ``helpful'' to attackers).</p> |
| 985 |
<p>This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early |
| 986 |
and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or |
| 987 |
things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very |
| 988 |
little risk.</p> |

| 1000 |
<p>Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol <code>__STDC_ISO_10646__</code> to be defined |
| 1001 |
in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it, |
| 1002 |
wether it defines the symbol or not. <code>__STDC_ISO_10646__</code> requires that |
| 1003 |
<strong>wchar_t</strong> is represented as unicode.</p> |
| 1004 |
<p>As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor |
| 1005 |
does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of |
| 1006 |
<strong>wchar_t</strong>. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards.</p> |
| 1007 |
<p>However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in <code>POSIX</code>, <code>ISO-8859-1</code> and |
| 1008 |
<code>UTF-8</code> locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as <strong>wchar_t</strong>.</p> |
| 1009 |
<p><code>__STDC_ISO_10646__</code> is the only sane way to support multi-language |
| 1010 |
apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized) |
| 1011 |
representation of <strong>wchar_t</strong> makes it impossible to convert between |
| 1012 |
<strong>wchar_t</strong> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any other encoding |
| 1013 |
without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and every locale. There |
| 1014 |
simply are no APIs to convert <strong>wchar_t</strong> into anything except the current |
| 1015 |
locale encoding.</p> |
| 1016 |
<p>Some applications (such as the formidable <strong>mlterm</strong>) work around this |
| 1017 |
by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling |
| 1018 |
with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple |
| 1019 |
conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements |
| 1020 |
encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator).</p> |
| 1021 |
<p>The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the |
| 1022 |
system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry |
| 1023 |
complete replacements for them :)</p> |

<h3><a name="how_can_i_use_rxvtunicode_under_cygwin">How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin?</a></h3> |

<p>rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
| 1033 |
the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
| 1034 |
longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
| 1035 |
single font). I recommend starting the X-server in <code>-multiwindow</code> or |
| 1036 |
<code>-rootless</code> mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as the |
| 1037 |
old libW11 emulation.</p> |
| 1038 |
<p>At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte |
| 1039 |
encodings (you might try <code>LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8</code>), so you are likely limited |

to 8-bit encodings.</p> |

<h1><a name="configure_options">CONFIGURE OPTIONS</a></h1> |
| 2018 |
<p>General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
| 2019 |
hasn't been tested well. Either try with <a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> or use |
| 2020 |
the <em>./reconf</em> script as a base for experiments. <em>./reconf</em> is used by |
| 2021 |
myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should |
| 2022 |
always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc |

Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (<code>eu</code>, <code>vn</code> |

codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, they are not required |
| 2061 |
for Xft fonts, although having them compiled in lets rxvt-unicode choose |
| 2062 |
replacement fonts more intelligently. Compiling them in will make your |

binary bigger (all of together cost about 700kB), but it doesn't increase |

<p>Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above |

Enable automatic composition of combining characters into |

composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text |

where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is |
