160.Sh "The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words?"
161.IX Subsection "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.PP
165.Vb 1
166\& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)
167.Ve
168.PP
169If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended
170more and more.
171.PP
172To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:
173.PP
174.Vb 1
175\& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\e\e\e\e]^`{|})]+)
176.Ve
177.PP
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.

1816of \f(CW\*(C`Pt\*(C'\fR can be used for a variety of tasks:
1817.PP
1818At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1819linked-list of other such menuBars.
1820.PP
1821The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1822turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1823.PP
1824The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1825input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1826.PP
1827The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1828constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1829menuBars.
1830.PP
1831The first step is to use the tag \fB[menu:\f(BIname\fB]\fR which creates
1832the menuBar called \fIname\fR and allows access. You may now or menus,
1833subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag \fB[done]\fR to set the
1834menuBar access as \fBreadonly\fR to prevent accidental corruption of the
1835menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
