166.IX Subsection "Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?"
167.PP
168Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
169simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should
170give you tabs:

178It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers
179or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be
180embedded into other programs, as witnessed by \fIdoc/rxvt\-tabbed\fR or
181the upcoming \f(CW\*(C`Gtk2::URxvt\*(C'\fR perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt
182(murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application.

184\fIHow do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?\fR
185.IX Subsection "How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?"
186.PP
187The version number is displayed with the usage (\-h). Also the escape
188sequence \f(CW\*(C`ESC [ 8 n\*(C'\fR sets the window title to the version number. When
189using the @@URXVT_NAME@@c client, the version displayed is that of the
190daemon.

192\fIRxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?\fR
193.IX Subsection "Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?"
194.PP
195Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you
196don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that
197you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design,
198when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded
199accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.
200.PP
201Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger
202scrollback buffers: Without \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-unicode3\*(C'\fR, rxvt-unicode will use
2036 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a
204kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full)
205use 10 Megabytes of memory. With \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-unicode3\*(C'\fR it gets worse, as
206rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.

215.IX Subsection "How can I start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically when I run URXVT_NAME@@c?"
216.PP
217If you want to start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically whenever you run
218@@URXVT_NAME@@c and the daemon isn't running yet, use this script:

228.PP
229This tries to create a new terminal, and if fails with exit status 2,
230meaning it couldn't connect to the daemon, it will start the daemon and
231re-run the command. Subsequent invocations of the script will re-use the
232existing daemon.

235.IX Subsection "How do I distinguish wether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? I need this to decide about setting colors etc."
236.PP
237The original rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable \*(L"\s-1COLORTERM\s0\*(R",
238so you can check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, \s-1JED\s0,
239slrn, Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide
240whether or not to use color.

244.PP
245If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with \s-1DISPLAY_IS_IP\s0 and have enabled
246insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script
247snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode
248wasn't also compiled with \s-1ESCZ_ANSWER\s0 (as assumed in these snippets) then
249the \s-1COLORTERM\s0 variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a
250regular xterm.

421.IX Subsection "Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?"
422.PP
423Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character
424size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might
425contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid
426these characters. For characters that are just \*(L"a bit\*(R" too wide a special
427\&\*(L"careful\*(R" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.
428.PP
429All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
430however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding
431box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to
432ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these
433cases).
434.PP
435It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype,
436or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using
437the \f(CW\*(C`\-lsp\*(C'\fR option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you
438might be forced to use a different font.

464In the meantime, you can either edit your \f(CW\*(C`rxvt\-unicode\*(C'\fR terminfo

596Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is

599to display.
600.PP
601\&\fBrxvt-unicode\fR makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
602font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
603bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't
604resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial
605intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe
606the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct.
607.PP
608In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,
609e.g.:

615When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base

617next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
618search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X\-server.
619.PP
620The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base
621font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which
622must be the same due to the way terminals work.

627This is because there is a difference between script and language \*(--
628rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
629as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
630sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
631display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
632chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
633non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
634\&\*(-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
635chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.
636.PP
637The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
638list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
639a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
640first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
641.PP
642In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
643runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
644fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
645has been designed yet).

1006the version from XFree\-3.3, as XFree\-4 replaced it by a totally different
1007font (different glyphs for \f(CW\*(C`;\*(C'\fR and many other harmless characters),
1008while the second font is actually the \f(CW\*(C`9x15bold\*(C'\fR from XFree4/XOrg. The
1009bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare

1061Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
1062applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your \s-1OS\s0 loads
1063resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will
1064ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read
1065\&\fI\f(CI$HOME\fI/.Xdefaults\fR when no resources are attached to the display.
1066.PP
1067If you have or use an \fI\f(CI$HOME\fI/.Xresources\fR file, chances are that

1254\fIIs there an option to switch encodings?\fR
1255.IX Subsection "Is there an option to switch encodings?"
1256.PP
1257Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no
1258specific \*(L"utf\-8\*(R" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about
1259\&\s-1UTF\-8\s0 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.
1260.PP
1261The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
1262the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
1263applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width
1264and code number. This mechanism is the \fIlocale\fR. Applications not using
1265that info will have problems (for example, \f(CW\*(C`xterm\*(C'\fR gets the width of
1266characters wrong as it uses its own, locale-independent table under all
1267locales).
1268.PP
1269Rxvt-unicode uses the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR locale category to select encoding. All
1270programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
1271interpretation of characters.
1272.PP
1273Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
1274is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.
1275.PP
1276On most systems, the content of the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR environment variable
1277contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
1278locale. Common names for locales are \f(CW\*(C`en_US.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`de_DE.ISO\-8859\-15\*(C'\fR,
1279\&\f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.EUC\-JP\*(C'\fR, i.e. \f(CW\*(C`language_country.encoding\*(C'\fR, but other forms
1280(i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`german\*(C'\fR) are also common.
1281.PP
1282Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
1283the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
1284i.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
1285rxvt\-unicode.

520The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set
521correctly, or you specified a \fBpreeditStyle\fR that is not supported by
522your input method. For example, if you specified \fBOverTheSpot\fR and
523your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys)
524does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then
525rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method.

527In this case either do not specify a \fBpreeditStyle\fR or specify more than
528one pre-edit style, such as \fBOverTheSpot,Root,None\fR.

611Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no
612specific \*(L"utf\-8\*(R" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about
613\&\s-1UTF\-8\s0 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.
614.Sp
615The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
616the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
617applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width
618and code number. This mechanism is the \fIlocale\fR. Applications not using
619that info will have problems (for example, \f(CW\*(C`xterm\*(C'\fR gets the width of
620characters wrong as it uses it's own, locale-independent table under all
621locales).
622.Sp
623Rxvt-unicode uses the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR locale category to select encoding. All
624programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
625interpretation of characters.
626.Sp
627Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
628is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.
629.Sp
630On most systems, the content of the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR environment variable
631contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed

633\&\f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.EUC\-JP\*(C'\fR, i.e. \f(CW\*(C`language_country.encoding\*(C'\fR, but other forms
634(i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`german\*(C'\fR) are also common.

636Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for

872This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
873if you use Backspace = \f(CW\*(C`^H\*(C'\fR, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
874properly reflects that.
875.Sp
876The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
877To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
878key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
879(\f(CW\*(C`ESC [ 3 ~\*(C'\fR) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.
880.Sp
881Some other Backspace problems:
882.Sp
883some editors use termcap/terminfo,
884some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
885\&\s-1GNU\s0 Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.
886.Sp
887Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.

936rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable \*(L"\s-1COLORTERM\s0\*(R", so you can
937check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, \s-1JED\s0, slrn,
938Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or
939not to use color.

942If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with \s-1DISPLAY_IS_IP\s0 and have enabled
943insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script
944snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode
945wasn't also compiled with \s-1ESCZ_ANSWER\s0 (as assumed in these snippets) then
946the \s-1COLORTERM\s0 variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a
947regular xterm.

1777of \f(CW\*(C`Pt\*(C'\fR can be used for a variety of tasks:
1778.PP
1779At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1780linked-list of other such menuBars.
1781.PP
1782The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1783turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1784.PP
1785The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1786input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1787.PP
1788The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1789constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1790menuBars.
1791.PP
1792The first step is to use the tag \fB[menu:\f(BIname\fB]\fR which creates
1793the menuBar called \fIname\fR and allows access. You may now or menus,
1794subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag \fB[done]\fR to set the
1795menuBar access as \fBreadonly\fR to prevent accidental corruption of the
1796menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
1797\&\fB[menu]\fR, make the alterations and then use \fB[done]\fR
