160.IP "The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words?" 4
161.IX Item "The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words?"
162Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can use
163the following resource:
164.Sp
165.Vb 1
166\& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)
167.Ve
168.Sp
169If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended
170more and more.
171.Sp
172To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:
173.Sp
174.Vb 1
175\& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\e\e\e\e]^`{|})]+)
176.Ve
177.Sp
178Please also note that the \fILeftClick Shift-LeftClik\fR combination also
179selects words like the old code.
180.IP "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?" 4
181.IX Item "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?"
182You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
183\&\fBperl-ext-common\fR resource to the empty string, which also keeps
184rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
185.Sp
186If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
187identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
188\&\fB\s-1PREPACKAGED\s0 \s-1EXTENSIONS\s0\fR in the @@RXVT_NAME@@\fIperl\fR\|(3) manpage. For
189example, to disable the \fBselection-popup\fR and \fBoption-popup\fR, specify
190this \fBperl-ext-common\fR resource:
191.Sp
192.Vb 1
193\& URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
194.Ve
195.Sp
196This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
197extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
198scrollback search mode is triggered by \fBM\-s\fR. You can move it to any
199other combination either by setting the \fBsearchable-scrollback\fR resource:
200.Sp
201.Vb 1
202\& URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s
203.Ve
204.IP "Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?" 4
205.IX Item "Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?"
206Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
207applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your \s-1OS\s0 loads
208resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
209ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
210\&\fI$HOME/.Xdefaults\fR when no resources are attached to the display.
211.Sp
212If you have or use an \fI$HOME/.Xresources\fR file, chances are that
213resources are loaded into your X\-server. In this case, you have to
214re-login after every change (or run \fIxrdb \-merge \f(CI$HOME\fI/.Xresources\fR).
215.Sp
216Also consider the form resources have to use:
217.Sp
218.Vb 1
219\& URxvt.resource: value
220.Ve
221.Sp
222If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
223specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
224works. If unsure, use the form above.
225.IP "I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?" 4
226.IX Item "I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?"
227First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt\-unicode, so
228you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
229bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
230of passage: ... and you failed.
231.Sp
232Here are four ways to get transparency. \fBDo\fR read the manpage and option
233descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt\-unicode. Really, do it!
234.Sp
2351. Use inheritPixmap:
236.Sp
237.Vb 2
238\& Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
239\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -ip -tint red -sh 40
240.Ve
241.Sp
242That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
243support, or you are unable to read.
244.Sp
2452. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo\-transparency. This enables you
246to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
247your picture with gimp:
248.Sp
249.Vb 2
250\& convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
251\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
252.Ve
253.Sp
254That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack \s-1XPM\s0 and Perl support, or you
255are unable to read.
256.Sp
2573. Use an \s-1ARGB\s0 visual:
258.Sp
259.Vb 1
260\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc
261.Ve
262.Sp
263This requires \s-1XFT\s0 support, and the support of your X\-server. If that
264doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. \s-1ARGB\s0 visuals aren't
265there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary
266bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that
267doesn't mean that your \s-1WM\s0 has the required kludges in place.
268.Sp
2694. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:
270.Sp
271.Vb 2
272\& xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \e
273\& -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000
274.Ve
275.Sp
276Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace \f(CW0xc0000000\fR
277by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and
278your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.

401.IP "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS \s-1XXX\s0, any recommendation?" 4
402.IX Item "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?"
403You should build one binary with the default options. \fIconfigure\fR
404now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
405runtime\-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
406except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
407be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
408the future) depends on it.
409.Sp
410You should not overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR snd \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\*(C'\fR resources
411system-wide (except maybe with \f(CW\*(C`defaults\*(C'\fR). This will result in useful
412behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
413\&\f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
414perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.
415.Sp
416If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
417one with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR (very useful) and a maximal one with
418\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
419encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).

421.IX Item "I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?"
422It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
423install urxvt with privileges necessary for your \s-1OS\s0 now.
424.Sp
425When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork
426into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
427systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
428immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
429privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
430things as perl interpreters, which might be \*(L"helpful\*(R" to attackers).
431.Sp
432This forking is done as the very first within \fImain()\fR, which is very early
433and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before \fImain()\fR, or
434things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very
435little risk.

1776of \f(CW\*(C`Pt\*(C'\fR can be used for a variety of tasks:
1777.PP
1778At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1779linked-list of other such menuBars.
1780.PP
1781The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1782turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1783.PP
1784The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1785input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1786.PP
1787The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1788constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1789menuBars.
1790.PP
1791The first step is to use the tag \fB[menu:\f(BIname\fB]\fR which creates
1792the menuBar called \fIname\fR and allows access. You may now or menus,
1793subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag \fB[done]\fR to set the
1794menuBar access as \fBreadonly\fR to prevent accidental corruption of the
1795menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
1796\&\fB[menu]\fR, make the alterations and then use \fB[done]\fR
