Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a |
38 |
|
|
simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should |
39 |
|
|
give you tabs: |

It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers |
46 |
|
|
or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be |
47 |
|
|
embedded into other programs, as witnessed by F<doc/rxvt-tabbed> or |
48 |
|
|
the upcoming C<Gtk2::URxvt> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt |
49 |

(murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application. |

The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape |
54 |
|
|
sequence C<ESC [ 8 n> sets the window title to the version number. When |
55 |

root |
1.102 |
Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you |
61 |
|
|
don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that |
62 |
|
|
you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design, |
63 |
|
|
when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded |
64 |
|
|
accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters. |

Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger |
67 |
|
|
scrollback buffers: Without C<--enable-unicode3>, rxvt-unicode will use |
68 |
|
|
6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a |
69 |
|
|
kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full) |
70 |
|
|
use 10 Megabytes of memory. With C<--enable-unicode3> it gets worse, as |
71 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell. |

Try C<@@URXVT_NAME@@d -f -o>, which tells @@URXVT_NAME@@d to open the |

If you want to start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically whenever you run |
81 |
|
|
@@URXVT_NAME@@c and the daemon isn't running yet, use this script: |

This tries to create a new terminal, and if fails with exit status 2, |
91 |
|
|
meaning it couldn't connect to the daemon, it will start the daemon and |
92 |
|
|
re-run the command. Subsequent invocations of the script will re-use the |
93 |

97 |

The original rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", |
98 |
|
|
so you can check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, |
99 |
|
|
slrn, Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide |
100 |
|
|
whether or not to use color. |

If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled |
105 |
|
|
insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
106 |
|
|
snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
107 |
|
|
wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then |
108 |
|
|
the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a |
109 |
|
|
regular xterm. |

=head3 Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat? |
134 |
root |
1.64 |
|
135 |
|
|
I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra |
136 |
|
|
bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see |
137 |
|
|
that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being |
138 |
|
|
compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even |
139 |
|
|
with C<--disable-everything>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many |
140 |
|
|
features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are |
141 |
|
|
already in use in this mode. |

When you C<--enable-everything> (which I<is> unfair, as this involves xft |
148 |
root |
1.64 |
and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my |
149 |
root |
1.120 |
libc), the two diverge, but not unreasonably so. |

The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian |
156 |
|
|
encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else |
157 |
|
|
and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those |
158 |
|
|
encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ |
159 |
|
|
compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of |
160 |
|
|
memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a |
161 |
|
|
few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when |
162 |
|
|
not used. |
163 |
|
|
|
164 |
|
|
Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one, |
165 |
|
|
a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more |
166 |
|
|
memory. |
167 |
|
|
|
168 |
|
|
Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this |
169 |
|
|
still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal |
170 |
|
|
(21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra |
171 |
root |
1.74 |
43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of |
172 |
root |
1.64 |
startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares |
173 |
|
|
extremely well *g*. |

=head3 Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool? |
176 |
root |
1.64 |
|
177 |
|
|
Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had |
178 |
|
|
to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction |
179 |
|
|
of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even |
180 |
|
|
shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++. |
181 |
|
|
|
182 |
|
|
My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in |
183 |
|
|
the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits |
184 |
|
|
are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix |
185 |
|
|
domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself. |
186 |
|
|
|
187 |
|
|
Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs |
188 |
|
|
in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in |
189 |
|
|
C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is |
190 |
|
|
not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my |
191 |
|
|
system with a minimal config: |
192 |
|
|

193 |

2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you |
230 |

|
to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever |
231 |
|
|

245 |

246 |
root |
1.102 |
bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that |
247 |

doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place. |

4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job: |

Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace C<0xc0000000> |

=head3 Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings? |
259 |
root |
1.25 |
|
260 |
root |
1.102 |
Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character |
261 |
|
|
size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might |
262 |
|
|
contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid |
263 |
|
|
these characters. For characters that are just "a bit" too wide a special |
264 |
|
|
"careful" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters. |
265 |
root |
1.25 |
|
266 |
root |
1.102 |
All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
267 |
|
|
however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding |
268 |
|
|
box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to |
269 |

It's not clear (to me at least), whether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, |
273 |
root |
1.102 |
or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using |
274 |
|
|
the C<-lsp> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you |

might be forced to use a different font. |

First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings |
283 |
|
|
(C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then |
284 |
|
|
make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise |
285 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect: |

For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird |
293 |

colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the standard |
294 |
|
|
8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of course, to fix |
295 |
|
|
these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very good reasons. |
296 |

297 |

In the meantime, you can either edit your C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
298 |
|
|
definition to only claim 8 colour support or use C<TERM=rxvt>, which will |
299 |
|

fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features. |

Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same |

effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately: |
305 |

Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as |
327 |
|
|
it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable |
328 |
|
|
antialiasing (by appending C<:antialias=false>), which saves lots of |
329 |
|
|
memory and also speeds up rendering considerably. |

Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
334 |
root |
1.119 |
fall back to its default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
335 |
root |
1.102 |
fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has |
336 |
|
|
antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they |
337 |
|
|
look best that way. |
338 |
root |

1.110 |

413 |
root |
1.25 |
Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is |
414 |
|
|
fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
415 |
|
|
your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want |
416 |
|
|
to display. |
417 |
root |
1.110 |
|
418 |
root |
1.25 |
B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |
419 |
|
|
font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
420 |
root |
1.44 |
bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't |
421 |
|
|
resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial |
422 |
|
|
intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe |
423 |
|
|
the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct. |
424 |
root |
1.110 |
|
425 |
root |
1.25 |
In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
426 |
|
|
e.g.: |

430 |

When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
431 |
|
|
font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the |
432 |
|
|
next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
433 |
|
|
search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server. |
434 |
root |
1.110 |
|
435 |
root |
1.44 |
The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base |
436 |
|
|
font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which |
437 |
|
|
must be the same due to the way terminals work. |

=head3 Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
440 |
|
|
|
441 |
|
|
This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
442 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is, |
443 |
|
|
as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first |
444 |
|
|
sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
445 |
|
|
display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many |
446 |
|
|
chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
447 |
|
|
non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
448 |
|
|
-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
449 |
|
|
chinese characters that are also in the japanese font. |
450 |
|
|
|
451 |
|
|
The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
452 |
|
|
list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
453 |
|
|
a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
454 |
|
|
first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first. |
455 |
|
|
|
456 |
|
|
In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
457 |
|
|
runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different |
458 |
|
|
fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this |
459 |
|
|
has been designed yet). |
460 |
|
|
|
461 |
|
|
Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see L<Can |
462 |

|

The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set |
540 |
|
|
correctly, or you specified a B<preeditStyle> that is not supported by |
541 |
|
|
your input method. For example, if you specified B<OverTheSpot> and |
542 |
|
|
your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) |
543 |
|
|
does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then |
544 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method. |
545 |
|
|
|
546 |
|
|
In this case either do not specify a B<preeditStyle> or specify more than |
547 |

one pre-edit style, such as B<OverTheSpot,Root,None>. |

=head3 I cannot type C<Ctrl-Shift-2> to get an ASCII NUL character due to ISO 14755 |
550 |
root |
1.29 |
|
551 |
|
|
Either try C<Ctrl-2> alone (it often is mapped to ASCII NUL even on |
552 |
|
|
international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your |
553 |
|
|
advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for other |
554 |
|
|
codes, too, such as C<Ctrl-Shift-1-d> to type the default telnet escape |
555 |
|
|
character and so on. |

=head3 Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works. |
558 |
|
|
|
559 |
|
|
Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing |
560 |
|
|
some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've |
561 |
|
|
heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A |
562 |
|
|
quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are |
563 |
|
|
depressed. |

=head3 What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour? |
566 |
root |
1.25 |
|
567 |
root |
1.102 |
Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
568 |
root |
1.120 |
Backspace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
569 |
root |
1.102 |
question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
570 |
|
|
Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>. |
571 |
root |
1.25 |
|
572 |
root |
1.102 |
Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian |
573 |
root |
1.127 |
policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one and only correct |
574 |
root |
1.102 |
choice :). |
575 |
root |
1.25 |
|
576 |
root |
1.102 |
Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value |
577 |
|
|
of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't |
578 |
|
|
started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the |
579 |
|
|
system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will |
580 |
|
|
be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting). |
581 |
root |
1.44 |
|
582 |

For starting a new rxvt-unicode: |

|
596 |

1.102 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
597 |

This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |
605 |
|
|
if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |
606 |
|
|
properly reflects that. |
607 |
root |
1.25 |
|
608 |
root |
1.102 |
The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem. |
609 |
|
|
To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete |
610 |
|
|
key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute |
611 |
|
|
(C<ESC [ 3 ~>) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo. |
612 |
root |
1.55 |
|
613 |
root |
1.102 |
Some other Backspace problems: |
614 |
root |
1.55 |
|
615 |
ayin |
1.150 |
some editors use termcap/terminfo, |
616 |
root |
1.102 |
some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H, |
617 |
|
|
GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help. |
618 |
root |
1.56 |
|
619 |

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

=head3 I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys. How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4 has the following map |

|
661 |
root |
1.102 |
Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accommodate all the various possible |
662 |
|
|
keyboard mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as |
663 |
|
|
required for your particular machine. |

1.114 |
=head3 Can I see a typical configuration? |
669 |
|
|
|
670 |
|
|
The default configuration tries to be xterm-like, which I don't like that |
671 |
|
|
much, but it's least surprise to regular users. |
672 |
|
|
|
673 |
|
|
As a rxvt or rxvt-unicode user, you are practically supposed to invest |
674 |
|
|
time into customising your terminal. To get you started, here is the |
675 |
root |
1.115 |
author's .Xdefaults entries, with comments on what they do. It's certainly |
676 |
|
|
not I<typical>, but what's typical... |
677 |
root |
1.114 |
|
678 |

URxvt.cutchars: "()*,<>[]{}|' |
679 |
|
|
URxvt.print-pipe: cat >/tmp/xxx |
680 |

684 |
|
|
URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None |
685 |
|
|
|
686 |
|
|
This tells rxvt-unicode to use a special locale when communicating with |
687 |
|
|
the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit |
688 |
|
|
type, which requires the C<xim-onthespot> perl extension but rewards me |
689 |
|
|
with correct-looking fonts. |

697 |
|
|

698 |
|
|
This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library |
699 |
|
|
directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I |
700 |
|
|
develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I |
701 |
|
|
write. |
702 |
|
|
|
703 |
|
|
The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware |
704 |
root |
1.120 |
and tells it to convert perl error messages into vi-commands to load the |
705 |
root |

As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the |
711 |
root |
1.120 |

712 |

apps, like screen, so lines scrolled out of screen end up in urxvt's |

scrollback buffer. |

Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but |
724 |
|
|
these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background |
725 |
|
|
to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the |
726 |
|
|
default foreground colour. |
727 |
|
|
|
728 |
|
|
URxvt.underlineColor: yellow |
729 |
|
|
|
730 |
|
|
Another colour, makes underline lines look different. Sometimes hurts, but |
731 |
|
|
is mostly a nice effect. |

I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be |
773 |
root |
1.120 |
overwhelmed. A special note: the C<9x15bold> mentioned above is actually |
774 |
root |
1.114 |
the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different |
775 |
|
|
font (different glyphs for C<;> and many other harmless characters), |
776 |
|
|
while the second font is actually the C<9x15bold> from XFree4/XOrg. The |
777 |
|
|
bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare |
778 |
root |
1.120 |
characters, too. When editing sources with vim, I use italic for comments |
779 |
root |
1.114 |
and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased. |
780 |
|
|
|
781 |
|
|
Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my |
782 |
|
|
purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold) |
783 |
|
|
font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and |
784 |
|
|
normal fonts. |
785 |
|
|
|
786 |
|
|
Please note that I used the C<urxvt> instance name and not the C<URxvt> |
787 |
|
|
class name. Thats because I use different configs for different purposes, |
788 |
|
|
for example, my IRC window is started with C<-name IRC>, and uses these |
789 |
|
|
defaults: |
790 |
|
|
|
791 |
|
|
IRC*title: IRC |
792 |
|
|

IRC*keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]710;suxuseuro\007\033]711;suxuseuro\007 |

IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007 |
800 |
|
|
|
801 |
|
|
C<Alt-Shift-1> and C<Alt-Shift-2> switch between two different font |
802 |
|
|
sizes. C<suxuseuro> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read) |
803 |
|
|
stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something |
804 |
|
|
complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font. |
805 |
|
|
|
806 |
|
|
The above is all in my C<.Xdefaults> (I don't use C<.Xresources> nor |
807 |
|
|
C<xrdb>). I also have some resources in a separate C<.Xdefaults-hostname> |
808 |
|
|
file for different hosts, for example, on ym main desktop, I use: |
809 |
|
|
|
810 |
|
|
URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t |
811 |
|
|
URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t |
812 |
|
|
URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: command:\033[3;1605;5t |
813 |
|
|
URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t |
814 |
|
|
URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test |
815 |
|
|
|
816 |
|
|
The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows |
817 |
|
|
in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop |
818 |
|
|
immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the |
819 |
|
|
same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key |
820 |
|
|
combinations :-> |

Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X |
825 |
|
|
applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads |
826 |
|
|
resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will |
827 |

If you have or use an F<$HOME/.Xresources> file, chances are that |
831 |
|
|
resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to |
832 |

re-login after every change (or run F<xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources>). |
833 |
root |
1.25 |

834 |

Also consider the form resources have to use: |
835 |

1.25 |
|
836 |
root |
1.102 |
URxvt.resource: value |
837 |
root |

838 |

If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of |
839 |
root |
1.120 |
specifying resources), make sure you understand whether and why it |
840 |
root |
1.102 |
works. If unsure, use the form above. |

=head3 When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? |
843 |
root |
1.44 |
|
844 |
root |
1.102 |
The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
845 |
|
|
as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises). |
846 |
root |
1.25 |
|
847 |
root |
1.102 |
The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can |
848 |
root |
1.122 |
be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp and works as user and admin): |
849 |
root |
1.25 |
|
850 |
root |
1.102 |
REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
851 |
root |
1.122 |
infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "mkdir -p .terminfo && cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" |
852 |
root |
1.25 |
|
853 |
root |
1.102 |
... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system, |
854 |
root |
1.25 |
|
855 |
root |
1.122 |
One some systems you might need to set C<$TERMINFO> to the full path of |
856 |
|
|
F<$HOME/.terminfo> for this to work. |
857 |
|
|
|
858 |
root |
1.102 |
If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
859 |
|
|
C<TERM=rxvt> or even C<TERM=xterm>, and live with the small number of |
860 |
|
|
problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
861 |
|
|
colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
862 |
|
|
quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though. |
863 |
root |
1.25 |
|
864 |
root |
1.102 |
If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you |
865 |
|
|
can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a |
866 |
|
|
resource to set it: |
867 |
root |
1.25 |
|
868 |
root |
1.102 |
URxvt.termName: rxvt |
869 |
root |
1.25 |
|
870 |
root |
1.102 |
If you don't plan to use B<rxvt> (quite common...) you could also replace |
871 |
root |
1.105 |
the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one and use C<TERM=rxvt>. |
872 |
root |
1.25 |
|
873 |
root |
1.102 |
=head3 C<tic> outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry. |
874 |
root |
1.25 |
|
875 |
root |
1.102 |
Most likely it's the empty definition for C<enacs=>. Just replace it by |
876 |
|
|
C<enacs=\E[0@> and try again. |

One reason you might want this is that some distributions or operating |
885 |
|
|
systems still compile some programs using the long-obsoleted termcap |
886 |
|
|
library (Fedora Core's bash is one example) and rely on a termcap entry |
887 |
|
|
for C<rxvt-unicode>. |
888 |
|
|
|
889 |
root |
1.120 |
You could use rxvt's termcap entry with reasonable results in many cases. |
890 |
root |
1.102 |
You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program |
891 |
|
|
like this: |
892 |
|
|
|
893 |
|
|
infocmp -C rxvt-unicode |
894 |
|
|
|
895 |
|
|
Or you could use this termcap entry, generated by the command above: |

The C<ls> in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to |

decide whether a terminal has colour, but uses its own configuration |
922 |
root |

file. Needless to say, C<rxvt-unicode> is not in its default file (among |
923 |
root |

|
925 |
|
|
TERM rxvt-unicode |
926 |
|

927 |

Make sure you are using C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>. Some pre-packaged |
944 |
|
|
distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode |
945 |
|
|
by setting C<TERM> to C<rxvt>, which doesn't have these extra |
946 |
|
|
features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian |
947 |
|
|
GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
948 |
|
|
file, so you will need to install it on your own (See the question B<When |
949 |
|
|

950 |
|

how to do this). |

If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but |
962 |
|
|
getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is |
963 |
|
|
subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings. |
964 |
root |
1.45 |
|
965 |
root |
1.102 |
Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same C<LC_CTYPE> setting as the |
966 |
root |
1.124 |
programs running in it. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the C<C> locale, |
967 |
|
|
while the login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the |
968 |
|
|
locale to something else, e.g. C<en_GB.UTF-8>. Needless to say, this is |
969 |
|
|
not going to work, and is the most common cause for problems. |
970 |
root |
1.25 |
|
971 |

The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run |
972 |
|
|
into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile. |
973 |
root |
1.25 |
|
974 |
root |
1.124 |
printf '\33]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" # $LANG or $LC_ALL are worth a try, too |
975 |
root |
1.25 |
|
976 |
root |
1.102 |
If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a C<LC_CTYPE> specification not |
977 |
|
|
supported on your systems. Some systems have a C<locale> command which |
978 |
|
|
displays this (also, C<perl -e0> can be used to check locale settings, as |
979 |
|
|
it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). If it displays something |
980 |
|
|
like: |
981 |
root |
1.25 |
|
982 |
root |
1.102 |
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
983 |
root |
1.25 |
|
984 |
root |
1.102 |
Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
985 |
root |
1.25 |
|
986 |
root |
1.102 |
If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then |
987 |
|
|
you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't |
988 |

|
support locales :( |

=head3 Is there an option to switch encodings? |
995 |
root |
1.25 |
|
996 |
root |
1.102 |
Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
997 |
|
|
specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
998 |
|
|
UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O. |
999 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1000 |
root |
1.102 |
The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
1001 |
|
|
the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
1002 |
|
|
applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width |
1003 |
|
|
and code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>. Applications not using |
1004 |
|
|
that info will have problems (for example, C<xterm> gets the width of |
1005 |
root |
1.119 |
characters wrong as it uses its own, locale-independent table under all |
1006 |
root |
1.102 |
locales). |
1007 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1008 |
root |
1.102 |
Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All |
1009 |
|
|
programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
1010 |
|
|
interpretation of characters. |
1011 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1012 |
root |
1.102 |
Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
1013 |
|
|
is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
1014 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1015 |
root |
1.102 |
On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable |
1016 |
|
|
contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
1017 |
|
|
locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>, |
1018 |
|
|
C<ja_JP.EUC-JP>, i.e. C<language_country.encoding>, but other forms |
1019 |
|
|
(i.e. C<de> or C<german>) are also common. |
1020 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1021 |
root |
1.102 |
Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
1022 |
|
|
the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
1023 |
|
|
i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the normally same to |
1024 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode. |
1025 |
root |

If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |

Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |
1032 |

|
rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>. |

Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in |
1039 |
|
|
one locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support it |
1040 |
|
|
(e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which |
1041 |
|
|
first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
1042 |
root |
1.28 |
|
1043 |
root |
1.116 |
printf '\33]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |

You can also use xterm's C<luit> program, which usually works fine, except |
1048 |
|
|
for some locales where character width differs between program- and |
1049 |

rxvt-unicode-locales. |

Try a search engine, as this is slightly different for every input method server. |
1054 |
|
|
|
1055 |

Here is a checklist: |
1056 |
|
|
|
1057 |

|
=over 4 |

|
|
1059 |
|
|
=item - Make sure your locale I<and> the imLocale are supported on your OS. |
1060 |
|
|
|
1061 |
|
|
Try C<locale -a> or check the documentation for your OS. |
1062 |
|
|
|
1063 |
|
|
=item - Make sure your locale or imLocale matches a locale supported by your XIM. |
1064 |
|
|
|
1065 |
|
|
For example, B<kinput2> does not support UTF-8 locales, you should use |
1066 |
|
|
C<ja_JP.EUC-JP> or equivalent. |
1067 |
|
|
|
1068 |
|
|
=item - Make sure your XIM server is actually running. |
1069 |
|
|
|
1070 |
|
|
=item - Make sure the C<XMODIFIERS> environment variable is set correctly when I<starting> rxvt-unicode. |
1071 |
|
|
|
1072 |
|
|
When you want to use e.g. B<kinput2>, it must be set to |
1073 |
root |
1.120 |
C<@im=kinput2>. For B<scim>, use C<@im=SCIM>. You can see what input |
1074 |
root |
1.112 |
method servers are running with this command: |
1075 |
|
|
|
1076 |
|
|
xprop -root XIM_SERVERS |

You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the |
1085 |
|
|
terminal, using the resource C<imlocale>: |
1086 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1087 |
root |
1.102 |
URxvt.imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
1088 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1089 |
root |
1.102 |
Now you can start your terminal with C<LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8> and still |
1090 |
root |
1.112 |
use your input method. Please note, however, that, depending on your Xlib |
1091 |
|
|
version, you may not be able to input characters outside C<EUC-JP> in a |
1092 |
|
|
normal way then, as your input method limits you. |
1093 |
root |

Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
1097 |
|
|
design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
1098 |
|
|
leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at |
1099 |
|
|
exit time. B<kinput2> (and derived input methods) generally succeeds, |
1100 |
|
|
while B<SCIM> (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however, |
1101 |
|
|
crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides cooperate. |

So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers. |

The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
1111 |
|
|
patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but |
1112 |
|
|
unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to |
1113 |
|
|
the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine |
1114 |
|
|
version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce |
1115 |
|
|
the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to |
1116 |
|
|
Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug |
1117 |
|
|
Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug). |

For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
1120 |
|
|
probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
1121 |
|
|
bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that |
1122 |
|
|
might encounter the same issue. |

You should build one binary with the default options. F<configure> |
1127 |
|
|
now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
1128 |
root |
1.120 |
runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enabling them, |
1129 |
root |
1.102 |
except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should |
1130 |
|
|
be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in |
1131 |
|
|
the future) depends on it. |
1132 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1133 |
root |
1.102 |
You should not overwrite the C<perl-ext-common> snd C<perl-ext> resources |
1134 |
|
|
system-wide (except maybe with C<defaults>). This will result in useful |
1135 |
|
|
behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty |
1136 |
|
|
C<perl-ext-common> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the |
1137 |
|
|
perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it. |
1138 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1139 |
root |
1.102 |
If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
1140 |
|
|
one with C<--disable-everything> (very useful) and a maximal one with |
1141 |
|
|
C<--enable-everything> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of |
1142 |
|
|
encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used). |

=head3 I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe? |
1145 |
root |

1146 |

1.102 |
It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly |
1147 |
|
|
install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now. |
1148 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1149 |
root |
1.102 |
When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork |
1150 |
|
|
into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some |
1151 |
|
|
systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges |
1152 |
|
|
immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep |
1153 |
|
|
privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains |
1154 |
|
|
things as perl interpreters, which might be "helpful" to attackers). |
1155 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1156 |
root |
1.102 |
This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early |
1157 |
|
|
and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or |
1158 |
|
|
things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very |
1159 |
|
|
little risk. |

=head3 I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all. |
1162 |
root |

Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> to be defined |
1164 |
|
|
in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it, |
1165 |
root |
1.120 |
whether it defines the symbol or not. C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> requires that |
1166 |
root |
1.102 |
B<wchar_t> is represented as unicode. |
1167 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1168 |
root |
1.120 |
As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symbol nor |
1169 |
root |
1.119 |
does it support it. Instead, it uses its own internal representation of |
1170 |
root |
1.102 |
B<wchar_t>. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards. |
1171 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1172 |
root |
1.102 |
However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in C<POSIX>, C<ISO-8859-1> and |
1173 |
|
|
C<UTF-8> locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as B<wchar_t>. |
1174 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1175 |
root |
1.102 |
C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> is the only sane way to support multi-language |
1176 |
|
|
apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized) |
1177 |
|
|
representation of B<wchar_t> makes it impossible to convert between |
1178 |
|
|
B<wchar_t> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any other encoding |
1179 |
|
|
without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and every locale. There |
1180 |
|
|
simply are no APIs to convert B<wchar_t> into anything except the current |
1181 |
|
|
locale encoding. |
1182 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1183 |
root |
1.102 |
Some applications (such as the formidable B<mlterm>) work around this |
1184 |
|
|
by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling |
1185 |
|
|
with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple |
1186 |
|
|
conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements |
1187 |
|
|
encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator). |
1188 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1189 |
root |

The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the |
1190 |
|
|
system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry |
1191 |
|
|
complete replacements for them :) |

=head3 How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin? |
1194 |
root |
1.25 |
|
1195 |
root |
1.102 |
rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
1196 |
|
|
the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
1197 |
|
|
longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
1198 |
|
|
single font). I recommend starting the X-server in C<-multiwindow> or |
1199 |
|
|
C<-rootless> mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as the |
1200 |
|
|
old libW11 emulation. |
1201 |
root |
1.27 |
|
1202 |
root |
1.102 |
At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte |
1203 |
|
|
encodings (you might try C<LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8>), so you are likely limited |
1204 |
|
|
to 8-bit encodings. |

=head3 Character widths are not correct. |
1207 |
|
|
|
1208 |
|
|
urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about |
1209 |
|
|
the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you |
1210 |
|
|
will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9, |
1211 |
|
|
where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width, |
1212 |
|
|
and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1. |
1213 |
|
|
|
1214 |
|
|
The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A |
1215 |
|
|
possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like |

General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |

hasn't been tested well. Either try with C<--enable-everything> or use |

root |
1.146 |
the default configuration (i.e. no C<--enable-xxx> or C<--disable-xxx> |
2230 |

|
switches). Of course, you should always report when a combination doesn't |
2231 |
|
|
work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. |

Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts are |

Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (C<eu>, C<vn> |
2262 |
|
|

2263 |
|
|
codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, they are not required |
2264 |
|
|
for Xft fonts, although having them compiled in lets rxvt-unicode choose |
2265 |
|
|
replacement fonts more intelligently. Compiling them in will make your |
2266 |
|
|
binary bigger (all of together cost about 700kB), but it doesn't increase |
2267 |

memory usage unless you use a font requiring one of these encodings. |

Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |

alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly |
2284 |

root |
1.6 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above |
2291 |
|
|
65535 (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage |
2292 |
|
|
requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet |

support these extra characters, but Xft does. |

Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
2296 |

even without this flag, but the number of such characters is |
2297 |
root |
1.131 |
limited to a few thousand (shared with combining characters, |
2298 |

see next switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |

Enable automatic composition of combining characters into |
2304 |
|
|
composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text |
2305 |
|
|
where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is |
2306 |
|
|
done by using precomposited characters when available or creating |
2307 |
|
|
new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
2308 |
|
|
|
2309 |
root |

Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
2310 |
|
|
characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will be |
2311 |
|
|
(ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
