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 "The cursor moves when selecting text in the current input line, how do I switch this off?" 4
205.IX Item "The cursor moves when selecting text in the current input line, how do I switch this off?"
206.PD 0
207.IP "During rlogin/ssh/telnet/etc. sessions, clicking near the cursor outputs strange escape sequences, how do I fix this?" 4
208.IX Item "During rlogin/ssh/telnet/etc. sessions, clicking near the cursor outputs strange escape sequences, how do I fix this?"
209.PD
210These are caused by the \f(CW\*(C`readline\*(C'\fR perl extension. Under normal
211circumstances, it will move your cursor around when you click into the
212line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment,
213but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in some
214cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly.
215.Sp
216You can permamently switch this feature off by disabling the \f(CW\*(C`readline\*(C'\fR
217extension:
218.Sp
219.Vb 1
220\& URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-readline
221.Ve
222.IP "Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?" 4
223.IX Item "Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?"
224Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
225applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your \s-1OS\s0 loads
226resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
227ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
228\&\fI$HOME/.Xdefaults\fR when no resources are attached to the display.
229.Sp
230If you have or use an \fI$HOME/.Xresources\fR file, chances are that
231resources are loaded into your X\-server. In this case, you have to
232re-login after every change (or run \fIxrdb \-merge \f(CI$HOME\fI/.Xresources\fR).
233.Sp
234Also consider the form resources have to use:
235.Sp
236.Vb 1
237\& URxvt.resource: value
238.Ve
239.Sp
240If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
241specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
242works. If unsure, use the form above.
243.IP "I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?" 4
244.IX Item "I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?"
245First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt\-unicode, so
246you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may
247bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite
248of passage: ... and you failed.
249.Sp
250Here are four ways to get transparency. \fBDo\fR read the manpage and option
251descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt\-unicode. Really, do it!
252.Sp
2531. Use inheritPixmap:
254.Sp
255.Vb 2
256\& Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
257\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -ip -tint red -sh 40
258.Ve
259.Sp
260That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting
261support, or you are unable to read.
262.Sp
2632. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo\-transparency. This enables you
264to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever
265your picture with gimp:
266.Sp
267.Vb 2
268\& convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
269\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
270.Ve
271.Sp
272That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack \s-1XPM\s0 and Perl support, or you
273are unable to read.
274.Sp
2753. Use an \s-1ARGB\s0 visual:
276.Sp
277.Vb 1
278\& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc
279.Ve
280.Sp
281This requires \s-1XFT\s0 support, and the support of your X\-server. If that
282doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. \s-1ARGB\s0 visuals aren't
283there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary
284bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that
285doesn't mean that your \s-1WM\s0 has the required kludges in place.
286.Sp
2874. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job:
288.Sp
289.Vb 2
290\& xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \e
291\& -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000
292.Ve
293.Sp
294Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace \f(CW0xc0000000\fR
295by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and
296your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces.
297.IP "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?" 4
298.IX Item "Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?"
299I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra
300bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see
301that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being
302compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (\s-1RSS\s0) after startup. Even
303with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many
304features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are
305already in use in this mode.
306.Sp
307.Vb 3
308\& text data bss drs rss filename
309\& 98398 1664 24 15695 1824 rxvt --disable-everything
310\& 188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything
311.Ve
312.Sp
313When you \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft
314and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my
315libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.
316.Sp
317.Vb 3
318\& text data bss drs rss filename
319\& 163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything
320\& 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything
321.Ve
322.Sp
323The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian
324encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else
325and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those
326encodings. The \s-1BSS\s0 size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++
327compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of
328memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a
329few megabytes of \s-1RSS\s0. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of \s-1RSS\s0 even when
330not used.
331.Sp
332Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one,
333a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more
334memory.
335.Sp
336Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this
337still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal
338(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra
33943180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of
340startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares
341extremely well *g*.
342.IP "Why \*(C+, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?" 4
343.IX Item "Why , isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?"
344Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had
345to write it, and \*(C+ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction
346of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even
347shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without \*(C+.
348.Sp
349My personal stance on this is that \*(C+ is less portable than C, but in
350the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits
351are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix
352domain sockets, which are all less portable than \*(C+ itself.
353.Sp
354Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs
355in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in
356\&\*(C+ that don't. \*(C+ also often comes with large libraries, but this is
357not necessarily the case with \s-1GCC\s0. Here is what rxvt links against on my
358system with a minimal config:

377No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically),
378except maybe libX11 :)
379.IP "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt\-unicode?" 4
380.IX Item "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?"
381Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
382simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should

419.IP "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS \s-1XXX\s0, any recommendation?" 4
420.IX Item "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?"
421You should build one binary with the default options. \fIconfigure\fR
422now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
423runtime\-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
424except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
425be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
426the future) depends on it.
427.Sp
428You should not overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR snd \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\*(C'\fR resources
429system-wide (except maybe with \f(CW\*(C`defaults\*(C'\fR). This will result in useful
430behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
431\&\f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
432perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.
433.Sp
434If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
435one with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR (very useful) and a maximal one with
436\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of

440It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
441install urxvt with privileges necessary for your \s-1OS\s0 now.
442.Sp
443When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork
444into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
445systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
446immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
447privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
448things as perl interpreters, which might be \*(L"helpful\*(R" to attackers).
449.Sp
450This forking is done as the very first within \fImain()\fR, which is very early
451and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before \fImain()\fR, or
452things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very
453little risk.

1675of \f(CW\*(C`Pt\*(C'\fR can be used for a variety of tasks:
1676.PP
1677At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1678linked-list of other such menuBars.
1679.PP
1680The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1681turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1682.PP
1683The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1684input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1685.PP
1686The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1687constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1688menuBars.
1689.PP
1690The first step is to use the tag \fB[menu:\f(BIname\fB]\fR which creates
1691the menuBar called \fIname\fR and allows access. You may now or menus,
1692subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag \fB[done]\fR to set the
1693menuBar access as \fBreadonly\fR to prevent accidental corruption of the
1694menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
