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.

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
408encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).

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.

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