+.IX Subsection "The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words?"
+If you want to select e.g. alphanumeric words, you can use the following
+setting:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&   URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)
+.Ve
+.PP
+If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended
+more and more.
+.PP
+To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&   URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\e\e\e\e]^`{|})]+)
+.Ve
+.PP
+Please also note that the \fILeftClick Shift-LeftClik\fR combination also
+selects words like the old code.
+.Sh "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?"
+.IX Subsection "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?"
+You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
+\&\fBperl-ext-common\fR resource to the empty string, which also keeps
+rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
+.PP
+If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
+identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
+\&\fB\s-1PREPACKAGED\s0 \s-1EXTENSIONS\s0\fR in the @@RXVT_NAME@@\fIperl\fR\|(3) manpage. For
+example, to disable the \fBselection-popup\fR and \fBoption-popup\fR, specify
+this \fBperl-ext-common\fR resource:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&   URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
+.Ve
+.PP
+This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
+extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
+scrollback search mode is triggered by \fBM\-s\fR. You can move it to any
+other combination either by setting the \fBsearchable-scrollback\fR resource:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&   URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s
+.Ve
+.Sh "The cursor moves when selecting text in the current input line, how do I switch this off?"
+.IX Subsection "The cursor moves when selecting text in the current input line, how do I switch this off?"
+.Sh "During rlogin/ssh/telnet/etc. sessions, clicking near the cursor outputs strange escape sequences, how do I fix this?"
+.IX Subsection "During rlogin/ssh/telnet/etc. sessions, clicking near the cursor outputs strange escape sequences, how do I fix this?"
+These are caused by the \f(CW\*(C`readline\*(C'\fR perl extension. Under normal
+circumstances, it will move your cursor around when you click into the
+line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment,
+but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in some
+cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly.
+.PP
+You can permamently switch this feature off by disabling the \f(CW\*(C`readline\*(C'\fR
+extension:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&   URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-readline
+.Ve
+.Sh "Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?"
+.IX Subsection "Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?"
+Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
+applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your \s-1OS\s0 loads
+resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
+ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
+\&\fI$HOME/.Xdefaults\fR when no resources are attached to the display.
+.PP
+If you have or use an \fI$HOME/.Xresources\fR file, chances are that
+resources are loaded into your X\-server. In this case, you have to
+re-login after every change (or run \fIxrdb \-merge \f(CI$HOME\fI/.Xresources\fR).
+.PP
+Also consider the form resources have to use:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&  URxvt.resource: value
+.Ve
+.PP
+If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
+specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
+works. If unsure, use the form above.
+.Sh "I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?"
+.IX Subsection "I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?"
+First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt\-unicode, so
+you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
+bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
+of passage: ... and you failed.
+.PP
+Here are four ways to get transparency. \fBDo\fR read the manpage and option
+descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt\-unicode. Really, do it!
+.PP
+1. Use inheritPixmap:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\&   Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
+\&   @@RXVT_NAME@@ -ip -tint red -sh 40
+.Ve
+.PP
+That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
+support, or you are unable to read.
+.PP
+2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo\-transparency. This enables you
+to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
+your picture with gimp:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\&   convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
+\&   @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
+.Ve
+.PP
+That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack \s-1XPM\s0 and Perl support, or you
+are unable to read.
+.PP
+3. Use an \s-1ARGB\s0 visual:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\&   @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc
+.Ve
+.PP
+This requires \s-1XFT\s0 support, and the support of your X\-server. If that
+doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. \s-1ARGB\s0 visuals aren't
+there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary
+bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that
+doesn't mean that your \s-1WM\s0 has the required kludges in place.
+.PP
+4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:
+.PP
+.Vb 2
+\&  xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \e
+\&        -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000
+.Ve
+.PP
+Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace \f(CW0xc0000000\fR
+by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and
+your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.
+.Sh "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?"
+.IX Subsection "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?"
+I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
+bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
+that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
+compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (\s-1RSS\s0) after startup. Even
+with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
+features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
+already in use in this mode.
+.PP
+.Vb 3
+\&    text    data     bss     drs     rss filename
+\&   98398    1664      24   15695    1824 rxvt --disable-everything
+\&  188985    9048   66616   18222    1788 urxvt --disable-everything
+.Ve
+.PP
+When you \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
+and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
+libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.
+.PP
+.Vb 3
+\&    text    data     bss     drs     rss filename
+\&  163431    2152      24   20123    2060 rxvt --enable-everything
+\& 1035683   49680   66648   29096    3680 urxvt --enable-everything
+.Ve
+.PP
+The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
+encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
+and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
+encodings. The \s-1BSS\s0 size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
+compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
+memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
+few megabytes of \s-1RSS\s0. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of \s-1RSS\s0 even when
+not used.
+.PP
+Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
+a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
+memory.
+.PP
+Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
+still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
+(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
+43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
+startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
+extremely well *g*.
+.Sh "Why \*(C+, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?"
+.IX Subsection "Why , isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?"
+Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
+to write it, and \*(C+ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
+of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
+shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without \*(C+.
+.PP
+My personal stance on this is that \*(C+ is less portable than C, but in
+the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
+are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
+domain sockets, which are all less portable than \*(C+ itself.
+.PP
+Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
+in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
+\&\*(C+ that don't. \*(C+ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
+not necessarily the case with \s-1GCC\s0. Here is what rxvt links against on my
+system with a minimal config:
+.PP

 For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
 probably should use the Debian \s-1BTS\s0, too, because, after all, it's also a
 bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that
 might encounter the same issue.
+.Sh "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS \s-1XXX\s0, any recommendation?"
+.IX Subsection "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?"
+You should build one binary with the default options. \fIconfigure\fR
+now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
+runtime\-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
+except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
+be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
+the future) depends on it.
+.PP
+You should not overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR snd \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\*(C'\fR resources
+system-wide (except maybe with \f(CW\*(C`defaults\*(C'\fR). This will result in useful
+behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
+\&\f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
+perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.
+.PP
+If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
+one with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR (very useful) and a maximal one with
+\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
+encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).

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

 The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available
 as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises).
-.Sp
+.PP
 The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can
 be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp):
-.Sp
+.PP
 .Vb 2
 \&   REMOTE=remotesystem.domain
 \&   infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti"
 .Ve
-.Sp
+.PP
 \&... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system,
-.Sp
+.PP
 If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set
 \&\f(CW\*(C`TERM=rxvt\*(C'\fR or even \f(CW\*(C`TERM=xterm\*(C'\fR, and live with the small number of
 problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different
 colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice
 quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though.
-.Sp
+.PP
 If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you
 can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired \s-1TERM\s0 value or use a
 resource to set it:
-.Sp
+.PP
 .Vb 1
 \&   URxvt.termName: rxvt
 .Ve
-.Sp
+.PP
 If you don't plan to use \fBrxvt\fR (quite common...) you could also replace
 the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one.
+.ie n .Sh """tic"" outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry."
+.el .Sh "\f(CWtic\fP outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry."

 Make sure you are using \f(CW\*(C`TERM=rxvt\-unicode\*(C'\fR. Some pre-packaged
 distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode
 by setting \f(CW\*(C`TERM\*(C'\fR to \f(CW\*(C`rxvt\*(C'\fR, which doesn't have these extra
 features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian
 GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the \f(CW\*(C`rxvt\-unicode\*(C'\fR terminfo
 file, so you will need to install it on your own (See the question \fBWhen

 If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but
 getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is
 subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings.
-.Sp

 Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR setting as the
 programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the \f(CW\*(C`C\*(C'\fR locale, while the
 login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to
 something else, e.g. \f(CW\*(C`en_GB.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR. Needless to say, this is not going to work.

 If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR specification not
 supported on your systems. Some systems have a \f(CW\*(C`locale\*(C'\fR command which
 displays this (also, \f(CW\*(C`perl \-e0\*(C'\fR can be used to check locale settings, as
 it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). If it displays something

 Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
 fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of
 your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want
 to display.
-.Sp
+.PP
 \&\fBrxvt-unicode\fR makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
 font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
 bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't
 resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial
 intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe
 the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct.

 When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
 font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
 next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
 search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X\-server.
-.Sp

 The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base
 font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which
 must be the same due to the way terminals work.

 This is because there is a difference between script and language \*(--
 rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
 as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
 sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
 display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
 chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
 non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
 \&\*(-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
 chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.
-.Sp
+.PP
 The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
 list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
 a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
 first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
-.Sp
+.PP
 In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
 runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
 fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
 has been designed yet).
-.Sp

 Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see \*(L"Can I switch the fonts at runtime?\*(R" later in this document).

 Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character
 size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might
 contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid
 these characters. For characters that are just \*(L"a bit\*(R" too wide a special
 \&\*(L"careful\*(R" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.
-.Sp
+.PP
 All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
 however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding
 box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to
 ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these
 cases).
-.Sp
+.PP
 It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype,
 or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using
 the \f(CW\*(C`\-lsp\*(C'\fR option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you
 might be forced to use a different font.
-.Sp

 All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding

 Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no
 specific \*(L"utf\-8\*(R" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about
 \&\s-1UTF\-8\s0 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.
-.Sp
+.PP
 The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
 the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
 applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width
 and code number. This mechanism is the \fIlocale\fR. Applications not using
 that info will have problems (for example, \f(CW\*(C`xterm\*(C'\fR gets the width of
 characters wrong as it uses it's own, locale-independent table under all
 locales).
-.Sp
+.PP
 Rxvt-unicode uses the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR locale category to select encoding. All
 programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
 interpretation of characters.
-.Sp
+.PP
 Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
 is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.
-.Sp
+.PP
 On most systems, the content of the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR environment variable
 contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
 locale. Common names for locales are \f(CW\*(C`en_US.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`de_DE.ISO\-8859\-15\*(C'\fR,
 \&\f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.EUC\-JP\*(C'\fR, i.e. \f(CW\*(C`language_country.encoding\*(C'\fR, but other forms
 (i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`german\*(C'\fR) are also common.
-.Sp

 Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
 the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
 i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de_DE.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR are the normally same to
 rxvt\-unicode.

+.IX Subsection "What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?"
 Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
 BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
 question) there are two standard values that can be used for
 Backspace: \f(CW\*(C`^H\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`^?\*(C'\fR.
-.Sp
+.PP
 Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
 policy of using \f(CW\*(C`^?\*(C'\fR when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
 choice :).
-.Sp
+.PP
 Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
 of `erase' to guess the value for backspace.  If rxvt-unicode wasn't
 started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
 system value of `erase', which corresponds to \s-1CERASE\s0 in <termios.h>, will
 be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).
-.Sp
+.PP
 For starting a new rxvt\-unicode:

+Toggle with \f(CW\*(C`ESC [ 36 h\*(C'\fR / \f(CW\*(C`ESC [ 36 l\*(C'\fR.

 For an existing rxvt\-unicode:

 .Ve
-.Sp
+.PP
 .Vb 3
 \&   # use Backspace = ^?
 \&   $ stty erase ^?
 \&   $ echo -n "^[[36l"
 .Ve
-.Sp
+.PP
 This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
 if you use Backspace = \f(CW\*(C`^H\*(C'\fR, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
 properly reflects that.
-.Sp
+.PP
 The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
 To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
 key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
 (\f(CW\*(C`ESC [ 3 ~\*(C'\fR) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.
-.Sp
+.PP
 Some other Backspace problems:
-.Sp
+.PP
 some editors use termcap/terminfo,
 some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
 \&\s-1GNU\s0 Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.

 Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.

 rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable \*(L"\s-1COLORTERM\s0\*(R", so you can
 check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, \s-1JED\s0, slrn,

 If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with \s-1DISPLAY_IS_IP\s0 and have enabled

 the \s-1COLORTERM\s0 variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a
