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

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?"
289Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
290simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should
291give you tabs:
292.Sp

300.Sp
301It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers
302or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be
303embedded into other programs, as witnessed by \fIdoc/rxvt\-tabbed\fR or
304the upcoming \f(CW\*(C`Gtk2::URxvt\*(C'\fR perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt
305(murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application.

327.IP "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS \s-1XXX\s0, any recommendation?" 4
328.IX Item "I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?"
329You should build one binary with the default options. \fIconfigure\fR
330now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
331runtime\-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
332except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
333be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
334the future) depends on it.
335.Sp
336You should not overwrite the \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR snd \f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\*(C'\fR resources
337system-wide (except maybe with \f(CW\*(C`defaults\*(C'\fR). This will result in useful
338behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
339\&\f(CW\*(C`perl\-ext\-common\*(C'\fR resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
340perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.
341.Sp
342If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
343one with \f(CW\*(C`\-\-disable\-everything\*(C'\fR (very useful) and a maximal one with
344\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-everything\*(C'\fR (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
345encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).
346.IP "I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my \s-1OS\s0, is this safe?" 4
347.IX Item "I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?"
348It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
349install urxvt with privileges necessary for your \s-1OS\s0 now.
350.Sp
351When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork
352into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
353systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
354immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
355privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
356things as perl interpreters, which might be \*(L"helpful\*(R" to attackers).
357.Sp
358This forking is done as the very first within \fImain()\fR, which is very early
359and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before \fImain()\fR, or
360things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very
361little risk.

1648.PP
1649At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1650linked-list of other such menuBars.
1651.PP
1652The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1653turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1654.PP
1655The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1656input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1657.PP
1658The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1659constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1660menuBars.
1661.PP
1662The first step is to use the tag \fB[menu:\f(BIname\fB]\fR which creates
1663the menuBar called \fIname\fR and allows access. You may now or menus,
1664subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag \fB[done]\fR to set the
1665menuBar access as \fBreadonly\fR to prevent accidental corruption of the
