161.IP "The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words?" 4
162.IX Item "The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words?"
163Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can use
164the following resource:
165.Sp
166.Vb 1
167\& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)
168.Ve
169.Sp
170If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended
171more and more.
172.Sp
173To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:
174.Sp
175.Vb 1
176\& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\e\e\e\e]^`{|})]+)
177.Ve
178.Sp
179Please also note that the \fILeftClick Shift-LeftClik\fR combination also
180selects words like the old code.
181.IP "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?" 4
182.IX Item "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?"
183You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
184\&\fBperl-ext-common\fR resource to the empty string, which also keeps
185rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
186.Sp
187If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
188identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
189\&\fB\s-1PREPACKAGED\s0 \s-1EXTENSIONS\s0\fR in the @@RXVT_NAME@@\fIperl\fR\|(3) manpage. For
190example, to disable the \fBselection-popup\fR and \fBoption-popup\fR, specify
191this \fBperl-ext-common\fR resource:
192.Sp
193.Vb 1
194\& URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
195.Ve
196.Sp
197This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
198extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
199scrollback search mode is triggered by \fBM\-s\fR. You can move it to any
200other combination either by setting the \fBsearchable-scrollback\fR resource:
201.Sp
202.Vb 1
203\& URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s
204.Ve
205.IP "Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?" 4
206.IX Item "Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?"
207Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
208applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your \s-1OS\s0 loads
209resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
210ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
211\&\fI$HOME/.Xdefaults\fR when no resources are attached to the display.
212.Sp
213If you have or use an \fI$HOME/.Xresources\fR file, chances are that
214resources are loaded into your X\-server. In this case, you have to
215re-login after every change (or run \fIxrdb \-merge \f(CI$HOME\fI/.Xresources\fR).
216.Sp
217Also consider the form resources have to use:
218.Sp
219.Vb 1
220\& URxvt.resource: value
221.Ve
222.Sp
223If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
224specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
225works. If unsure, use the form above.
226.IP "I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?" 4
227.IX Item "I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?"
228First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt\-unicode, so
229you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
230bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
231of passage, and you failed.
232.Sp
233Here are three ways to get transparency. \fBDo\fR read the manpage and option
234descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt\-unicode. Really, do it!
235.Sp
2361. Use inheritPixmap:
237.Sp
238.Vb 2
239\& Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
240\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -ip -tint red -sh 40
241.Ve
242.Sp
243That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
244support, or you are unable to read.
245.Sp
2462. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo\-transparency. This enables you
247to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
248your picture with gimp:
249.Sp
250.Vb 2
251\& convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
252\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
253.Ve
254.Sp
255That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack \s-1XPM\s0 and Perl support, or you
256are unable to read.
257.Sp
2583. Use an \s-1ARGB\s0 visual:
259.Sp
260.Vb 1
261\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 432 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/c000
262.Ve
263.Sp
264This requires \s-1XFT\s0 support, and support form your X\-server. If that doesn't
265work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. \s-1ARGB\s0 visuals aren't there yet,
266no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary bugfixes
267and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work.
268.IP "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?" 4
269.IX Item "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?"
270I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
271bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
272that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
273compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (\s-1RSS\s0) after startup. Even
274with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
275features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
276already in use in this mode.
277.Sp
278.Vb 3
279\& text data bss drs rss filename
280\& 98398 1664 24 15695 1824 rxvt --disable-everything
281\& 188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything
282.Ve
283.Sp
284When you \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
285and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
286libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.
287.Sp
288.Vb 3
289\& text data bss drs rss filename
290\& 163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything
291\& 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything
292.Ve
293.Sp
294The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
295encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
296and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
297encodings. The \s-1BSS\s0 size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
298compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
299memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
300few megabytes of \s-1RSS\s0. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of \s-1RSS\s0 even when
301not used.
302.Sp
303Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
304a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
305memory.
306.Sp
307Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
308still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
309(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
31043180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
311startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
312extremely well *g*.
313.IP "Why \*(C+, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?" 4
314.IX Item "Why , isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?"
315Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
316to write it, and \*(C+ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
317of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
318shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without \*(C+.
319.Sp
320My personal stance on this is that \*(C+ is less portable than C, but in
321the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
322are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
323domain sockets, which are all less portable than \*(C+ itself.
324.Sp
325Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
326in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
327\&\*(C+ that don't. \*(C+ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
328not necessarily the case with \s-1GCC\s0. Here is what rxvt links against on my
329system with a minimal config:

350.IP "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt\-unicode?" 4
351.IX Item "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?"
352Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
353simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should
354give you tabs:

364It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers
365or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be
366embedded into other programs, as witnessed by \fIdoc/rxvt\-tabbed\fR or

390.IP "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS \s-1XXX\s0, any recommendation?" 4
391.IX Item "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?"
392You should build one binary with the default options. \fIconfigure\fR
393now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
394runtime\-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
395except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
396be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
397the future) depends on it.
398.Sp
399You should not overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR snd \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\*(C'\fR resources
400system-wide (except maybe with \f(CW\*(C`defaults\*(C'\fR). This will result in useful
401behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
402\&\f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
403perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.
404.Sp
405If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
406one with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR (very useful) and a maximal one with
407\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of

410.IX Item "I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?"
411It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
412install urxvt with privileges necessary for your \s-1OS\s0 now.
413.Sp
414When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork
415into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
416systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
417immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
418privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
419things as perl interpreters, which might be \*(L"helpful\*(R" to attackers).
420.Sp
421This forking is done as the very first within \fImain()\fR, which is very early
422and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before \fImain()\fR, or
423things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very
424little risk.
