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 "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?" 4
206.IX Item "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?"
207I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
208bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
209that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
210compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (\s-1RSS\s0) after startup. Even
211with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
212features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
213already in use in this mode.
214.Sp
215.Vb 3
216\& text data bss drs rss filename
217\& 98398 1664 24 15695 1824 rxvt --disable-everything
218\& 188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything
219.Ve
220.Sp
221When you \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
222and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
223libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.
224.Sp
225.Vb 3
226\& text data bss drs rss filename
227\& 163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything
228\& 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything
229.Ve
230.Sp
231The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
232encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
233and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
234encodings. The \s-1BSS\s0 size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
235compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
236memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
237few megabytes of \s-1RSS\s0. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of \s-1RSS\s0 even when
238not used.
239.Sp
240Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
241a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
242memory.
243.Sp
244Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
245still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
246(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
24743180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
248startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
249extremely well *g*.
250.IP "Why \*(C+, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?" 4
251.IX Item "Why , isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?"
252Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
253to write it, and \*(C+ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
254of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
255shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without \*(C+.
256.Sp
257My personal stance on this is that \*(C+ is less portable than C, but in
258the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
259are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
260domain sockets, which are all less portable than \*(C+ itself.
261.Sp
262Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
263in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
264\&\*(C+ that don't. \*(C+ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
265not necessarily the case with \s-1GCC\s0. Here is what rxvt links against on my
266system with a minimal config:
267.Sp
268.Vb 4
269\& libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)
270\& libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000)
271\& libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000)
272\& /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)
273.Ve
274.Sp
275And here is rxvt\-unicode:
276.Sp
277.Vb 5
278\& libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)

282\& /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)
283.Ve

285No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically),
286except maybe libX11 :)
287.IP "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt\-unicode?" 4
288.IX Item "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?"
289rxvt-unicode does not directly support tabs. It will work fine with
290tabbing functionality of many window managers or similar tabbing programs,
291and its embedding-features allow it to be embedded into other programs,
292as witnessed by \fIdoc/rxvt\-tabbed\fR or the upcoming \f(CW\*(C`Gtk2::URxvt\*(C'\fR perl
293module, which features a tabbed urxvt (murxvt) terminal as an example
294embedding application.

316.IP "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS \s-1XXX\s0, any recommendation?" 4
317.IX Item "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?"
318You should build one binary with the default options. \fIconfigure\fR
319now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
320runtime\-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
321except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
322be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
323the future) depends on it.
324.Sp
325You should not overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR snd \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\*(C'\fR resources
326system-wide (except maybe with \f(CW\*(C`defaults\*(C'\fR). This will result in useful
327behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
328\&\f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
329perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.
330.Sp
331If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
332one with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR (very useful) and a maximal one with
333\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
334encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).
335.IP "I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my \s-1OS\s0, is this safe?" 4
336.IX Item "I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?"
337Likely not. While I honestly try to make it secure, and am probably not
338bad at it, I think it is simply unreasonable to expect all of freetype
339+ fontconfig + xft + xlib + perl + ... + rxvt-unicode itself to all be
340secure. Also, rxvt-unicode disables some options when it detects that it
341runs setuid or setgid, which is not nice. Besides, with the embedded perl
342interpreter the possibility for security problems easily multiplies.
343.Sp
344Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on some
345systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra privileges for
346ptys, but some need it for utmp support). It is planned to mvoe this into
347a forked handler process, but this is not yet done.
348.Sp
349So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on your
350typical single-user-no-other-logins unix desktop, always remember that
351its an awful lot of code, most of which isn't checked for security issues
352regularly.

1682For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence \f(CW\*(C`ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST\*(C'\fR, the syntax
1683of \f(CW\*(C`Pt\*(C'\fR can be used for a variety of tasks:
1684.PP
1685At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1686linked-list of other such menuBars.
1687.PP
1688The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1689turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1690.PP
1691The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1692input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1693.PP
1694The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1695constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1696menuBars.
1697.PP
1698The first step is to use the tag \fB[menu:\f(BIname\fB]\fR which creates
1699the menuBar called \fIname\fR and allows access. You may now or menus,
1700subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag \fB[done]\fR to set the
1701menuBar access as \fBreadonly\fR to prevent accidental corruption of the
1702menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
1703\&\fB[menu]\fR, make the alterations and then use \fB[done]\fR
