661=head2 Terminal Configuration 661=head2 Terminal Configuration
662 662
663=head3 Can I see a typical configuration?
664
665The default configuration tries to be xterm-like, which I don't like that
666much, but it's least surprise to regular users.
667
668As a rxvt or rxvt-unicode user, you are practically supposed to invest
669time into customising your terminal. To get you started, here is the
670author's .Xdefaults entries, with comments on what they do. It's certainly
671not I<typical>, but what's typical...
672
673 URxvt.cutchars: "()*,<>[]{}|'
674 URxvt.print-pipe: cat >/tmp/xxx
675
676These are just for testing stuff.
677
678 URxvt.imLocale: ja_JP.UTF-8
679 URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None
680
681This tells rxvt-unicode to use a special locale when communicating with
682the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit
683type, which requires the C<xim-onthespot> perl extension but rewards me
684with correct-looking fonts.
685
686 URxvt.perl-lib: /root/lib/urxvt
687 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform,selection-pastebin,xim-onthespot,remote-clipboard
688 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+)
689 URxvt.selection.pattern-1: ^(/[^:]+):\
690 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
691 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
692
693This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library
694directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I
695develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I
696write.
697
698The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware
699and tells it to convert perl error messages into vi-commands to load the
700relevant file and go tot he error line number.
701
702 URxvt.scrollstyle: plain
703 URxvt.secondaryScroll: true
704
705As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the
706author. The C<secondaryScroll> configures urxvt to scroll in full-screen
707apps, like screen, so lines scrolled out of screen end up in urxvt's
708scrollback buffer.
709
710 URxvt.background: #000000
711 URxvt.foreground: gray90
712 URxvt.color7: gray90
713 URxvt.colorBD: #ffffff
714 URxvt.cursorColor: #e0e080
715 URxvt.throughColor: #8080f0
716 URxvt.highlightColor: #f0f0f0
717
718Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but
719these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background
720to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the
721default foreground colour.
722
723 URxvt.underlineColor: yellow
724
725Another colour, makes underline lines look different. Sometimes hurts, but
726is mostly a nice effect.
727
728 URxvt.geometry: 154x36
729 URxvt.loginShell: false
730 URxvt.meta: ignore
731 URxvt.utmpInhibit: true
732
733Uh, well, should be mostly self-explanatory. By specifying some defaults
734manually, I can quickly switch them for testing.
735
736 URxvt.saveLines: 8192
737
738A large scrollback buffer is essential. Really.
739
740 URxvt.mapAlert: true
741
742The only case I use it is for my IRC window, which I like to keep
743iconified till people msg me (which beeps).
744
745 URxvt.visualBell: true
746
747The audible bell is often annoying, especially when in a crowd.
748
749 URxvt.insecure: true
750
751Please don't hack my mutt! Ooops...
752
753 URxvt.pastableTabs: false
754
755I once thought this is a great idea.
756
757 urxvt.font: 9x15bold,\
758 -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1,\

764 urxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true
765 urxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true
766
767I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be
768overwhelmed. A special note: the C<9x15bold> mentioned above is actually
769the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different
770font (different glyphs for C<;> and many other harmless characters),
771while the second font is actually the C<9x15bold> from XFree4/XOrg. The
772bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare
773characters, too. When editing sources with vim, I use italic for comments
774and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased.
775
776Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my
777purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold)
778font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and
779normal fonts.
780
781Please note that I used the C<urxvt> instance name and not the C<URxvt>
782class name. Thats because I use different configs for different purposes,
783for example, my IRC window is started with C<-name IRC>, and uses these
784defaults:
785
786 IRC*title: IRC
787 IRC*geometry: 87x12+535+542
788 IRC*saveLines: 0
789 IRC*mapAlert: true
790 IRC*font: suxuseuro
791 IRC*boldFont: suxuseuro
792 IRC*colorBD: white
793 IRC*keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]710;suxuseuro\007\033]711;suxuseuro\007
794 IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007
795
796C<Alt-Shift-1> and C<Alt-Shift-2> switch between two different font
797sizes. C<suxuseuro> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read)
798stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something
799complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.
800
801The above is all in my C<.Xdefaults> (I don't use C<.Xresources> nor
802C<xrdb>). I also have some resources in a separate C<.Xdefaults-hostname>
803file for different hosts, for example, on ym main desktop, I use:
804
805 URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t
806 URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t
807 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: command:\033[3;1605;5t
808 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t
809 URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test
810
811The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows
812in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop
813immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the
814same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key
815combinations :->
