|
29 |
=head3 My question isn't answered here, can I ask a human? |
30 |
|
31 |
Before sending me mail, you could go to IRC: C<irc.freenode.net>, |
32 |
channel C<#rxvt-unicode> has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might be |
33 |
interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not FAQs :). |
34 |
|
35 |
=head3 Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode? |
36 |
|
37 |
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: |
40 |
|
41 |
@@URXVT_NAME@@ -pe tabbed |
42 |
|
43 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed |
44 |
|
45 |
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. |
50 |
|
51 |
=head3 How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using? |
52 |
|
53 |
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 |
using the @@URXVT_NAME@@c client, the version displayed is that of the |
56 |
daemon. |
57 |
|
58 |
=head3 Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that? |
59 |
|
60 |
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. |
65 |
|
66 |
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. |
72 |
|
73 |
=head3 How can I start @@URXVT_NAME@@d in a race-free way? |
74 |
|
75 |
Try C<@@URXVT_NAME@@d -f -o>, which tells @@URXVT_NAME@@d to open the |
76 |
display, create the listening socket and then fork. |
77 |
|
78 |
=head3 How can I start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically when I run URXVT_NAME@@c? |
79 |
|
80 |
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: |
82 |
|
83 |
#!/bin/sh |
84 |
@@URXVT_NAME@@c "$@" |
85 |
if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then |
86 |
@@URXVT_NAME@@d -q -o -f |
87 |
@@URXVT_NAME@@c "$@" |
88 |
fi |
89 |
|
90 |
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 |
existing daemon. |
94 |
|
95 |
=head3 How do I distinguish wether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? I need this to decide about setting colors etc. |
96 |
|
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. |
101 |
|
102 |
=head3 How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable? |
103 |
|
104 |
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 How do I compile the manual pages on my own? |
128 |
|
129 |
You need to have a recent version of perl installed as F</usr/bin/perl>, |
130 |
one that comes with F<pod2man>, F<pod2text> and F<pod2html>. Then go to |
131 |
the doc subdirectory and enter C<make alldoc>. |
132 |
|
133 |
=head3 Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat? |
134 |
|
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. |
142 |
|
143 |

144 |
98398 1664 24 15695 1824 rxvt --disable-everything |
145 |
188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything |
146 |
|
147 |
When you C<--enable-everything> (which I<is> unfair, as this involves xft |
148 |
and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my |
149 |
libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so. |
150 |
|
151 |
text data bss drs rss filename |
152 |
163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything |
153 |
1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything |
154 |
|
155 |
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 |
43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of |
172 |
startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares |
173 |
extremely well *g*. |
174 |
|
175 |
=head3 Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool? |
176 |
|
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 |
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
194 |
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000) |
195 |
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000) |
196 |
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
197 |
|
198 |
And here is rxvt-unicode: |
199 |
|
200 |
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
201 |
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000) |
202 |
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000) |
203 |
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000) |
204 |
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
205 |
|
206 |
No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically), |
207 |
except maybe libX11 :) |

=head2 Rendering, Font & Look and Feel Issues |
211 |
|
212 |
=head3 I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong? |
213 |
|
214 |
First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, so |
215 |
you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you may |
216 |
bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a rite |
217 |
of passage: ... and you failed. |
218 |
|
219 |
Here are four ways to get transparency. B<Do> read the manpage and option |
220 |
descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it! |
221 |
|
222 |
1. Use inheritPixmap: |
223 |
|
224 |
Esetroot wallpaper.jpg |
225 |
@@URXVT_NAME@@ -ip -tint red -sh 40 |
226 |
|
227 |
That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting |
228 |
support, or you are unable to read. |
229 |
|
230 |
2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you |
231 |
to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever |
232 |
your picture with gimp or any other tool: |
233 |
|
234 |
convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm |
235 |
@@URXVT_NAME@@ -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background |
236 |
|
237 |
That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or you |
238 |
are unable to read. |
239 |
|
240 |
3. Use an ARGB visual: |
241 |
|
242 |
@@URXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc |
243 |
|
244 |
This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that |
245 |
doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't |
246 |
there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the neccessary |
247 |
bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that |
248 |
doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place. |
249 |
|
250 |
4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job: |
251 |
|
252 |
xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \ |
253 |
-set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000 |
254 |
|
255 |
Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace C<0xc0000000> |
256 |
by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and |
257 |
your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces. |
258 |
|
259 |
=head3 Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings? |
260 |
|
261 |
Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character |
262 |
size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might |
263 |
contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid |
264 |
these characters. For characters that are just "a bit" too wide a special |
265 |
"careful" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters. |
266 |
|
267 |
All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
268 |
however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding |
269 |
box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to |
270 |
ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these |
271 |
cases). |
272 |
|
273 |
It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, |
274 |
or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using |
275 |
the C<-lsp> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you |
276 |
might be forced to use a different font. |
277 |
|
278 |
All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding |
279 |
box data is correct. |
280 |
|
281 |
=head3 How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much? |
282 |
|
283 |
First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings |
284 |
(C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then |
285 |
make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise |
286 |
rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect: |
287 |
|
288 |
URxvt.colorBD: white |
289 |
URxvt.colorIT: green |
290 |
|
291 |
=head3 Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that? |
292 |
|
293 |
For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird |
294 |
colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the standard |
295 |
8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of course, to fix |
296 |
these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very good reasons. |
297 |
|
298 |
In the meantime, you can either edit your C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
299 |
definition to only claim 8 colour support or use C<TERM=rxvt>, which will |
300 |
fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features. |
301 |
|
302 |
=head3 Can I switch the fonts at runtime? |
303 |
|
304 |
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same |
305 |
effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately: |
306 |
|
307 |
printf '\33]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
308 |
|
309 |
This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
310 |
japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
311 |
japanese fonts would only be in your way. |
312 |
|
313 |
You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching. |
314 |
|
315 |
=head3 Why do italic characters look as if clipped? |
316 |
|
317 |
Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
318 |
example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font C<xft:Bitstream Vera Sans |
319 |
Mono> completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround might be to |
320 |
enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this: |
321 |
|
322 |
URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
323 |
URxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true |
324 |
|
325 |
=head3 Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow? |
326 |
|
327 |
Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as |
328 |
it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable |
329 |
antialiasing (by appending C<:antialias=false>), which saves lots of |
330 |
memory and also speeds up rendering considerably. |
331 |
|
332 |
=head3 Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong? |
333 |
|
334 |
Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
335 |
fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
336 |
fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has |
337 |
antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they |
338 |
look best that way. |
339 |
|
340 |
If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually. |
341 |
|
342 |
=head3 What's with this bold/blink stuff? |
343 |
|
344 |
If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the |
345 |
standard foreground colour. |
346 |
|
347 |
For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the |
348 |
text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard |
349 |
colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be |
350 |
ignored. |
351 |
|
352 |
On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity |
353 |
foreground/background colors. |
354 |
|
355 |
color0-7 are the low-intensity colors. |
356 |
|
357 |
color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors. |
358 |
|
359 |
=head3 I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them? |
360 |
|
361 |
You can change the screen colors at run-time using F<~/.Xdefaults> |
362 |
resources (or as long-options). |
363 |
|
364 |
Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen, |
365 |
including the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow: |
366 |
|
367 |
URxvt.color0: #000000 |
368 |
URxvt.color1: #A80000 |
369 |
URxvt.color2: #00A800 |
370 |
URxvt.color3: #A8A800 |
371 |
URxvt.color4: #0000A8 |
372 |
URxvt.color5: #A800A8 |
373 |
URxvt.color6: #00A8A8 |
374 |
URxvt.color7: #A8A8A8 |
375 |
|
376 |
URxvt.color8: #000054 |
377 |
URxvt.color9: #FF0054 |
378 |
URxvt.color10: #00FF54 |
379 |
URxvt.color11: #FFFF54 |
380 |
URxvt.color12: #0000FF |
381 |
URxvt.color13: #FF00FF |
382 |
URxvt.color14: #00FFFF |
383 |
URxvt.color15: #FFFFFF |
384 |
|
385 |
And here is a more complete set of non-standard colors. |
386 |
|
387 |

=head3 Why do some characters look so much different than others? |
409 |
|
410 |
See next entry. |
411 |
|
412 |
=head3 How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts? |
413 |
|
414 |
Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is |
415 |
fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
416 |
your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want |
417 |
to display. |
418 |
|
419 |
B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |
420 |
font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
421 |
bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't |
422 |
resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial |
423 |
intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe |
424 |
the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct. |
425 |
|
426 |
In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
427 |
e.g.: |
428 |
|
429 |
@@URXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
430 |
|
431 |
When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
432 |
font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the |
433 |
next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
434 |
search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server. |
435 |
|
436 |
The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base |
437 |
font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which |
438 |
must be the same due to the way terminals work. |
439 |
|
440 |
=head3 Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
441 |
|
442 |
This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
443 |
rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is, |
444 |
as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first |
445 |
sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
446 |
display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many |
447 |
chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
448 |
non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
449 |
-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
450 |
chinese characters that are also in the japanese font. |
451 |
|
452 |
The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
453 |
list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
454 |
a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
455 |
first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first. |
456 |
|
457 |
In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
458 |
runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different |
459 |
fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this |
460 |
has been designed yet). |
461 |
|
462 |
Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see L<Can |
463 |
I switch the fonts at runtime?> later in this document). |
464 |

=head2 Keyboard, Mouse & User Interaction |
466 |
|
467 |
=head3 The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words? |
468 |
|
469 |
If you want to select e.g. alphanumeric words, you can use the following |
470 |
setting: |
471 |
|
472 |
URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+) |
473 |
|
474 |
If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended |
475 |
more and more. |
476 |
|
477 |
To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern: |
478 |
|
479 |
URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+) |
480 |
|
481 |
Please also note that the I<LeftClick Shift-LeftClik> combination also |
482 |
selects words like the old code. |
483 |
|
484 |
=head3 I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it? |
485 |
|
486 |
You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the |
487 |
B<perl-ext-common> resource to the empty string, which also keeps |
488 |
rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory. |
489 |
|
490 |
If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
491 |
identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section |
492 |
B<PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS> in the @@URXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage. For |
493 |
example, to disable the B<selection-popup> and B<option-popup>, specify |
494 |
this B<perl-ext-common> resource: |
495 |
|
496 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup |
497 |
|
498 |
This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup |
499 |
extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example, |
500 |
scrollback search mode is triggered by B<M-s>. You can move it to any |
501 |
other combination either by setting the B<searchable-scrollback> resource: |
502 |
|
503 |
URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s |
504 |
|
505 |
=head3 The cursor moves when selecting text in the current input line, how do I switch this off? |
506 |
|
507 |
See next entry. |
508 |
|
509 |
=head3 During rlogin/ssh/telnet/etc. sessions, clicking near the cursor outputs strange escape sequences, how do I fix this? |
510 |
|
511 |
These are caused by the C<readline> perl extension. Under normal |
512 |
circumstances, it will move your cursor around when you click into the |
513 |
line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment, |
514 |
but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in some |
515 |
cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly. |
516 |
|
517 |
You can permamently switch this feature off by disabling the C<readline> |
518 |
extension: |
519 |
|
520 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-readline |
521 |
|
522 |
=head3 My numerical keypad acts weird and generates differing output? |
523 |
|
524 |
Some Debian GNUL/Linux users seem to have this problem, although no |
525 |
specific details were reported so far. It is possible that this is caused |
526 |
by the wrong C<TERM> setting, although the details of wether and how |
527 |
this can happen are unknown, as C<TERM=rxvt> should offer a compatible |
528 |
keymap. See the answer to the previous question, and please report if that |
529 |
helped. |
530 |
|
531 |
=head3 My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working. |
532 |
|
533 |
The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set |
534 |
correctly, or you specified a B<preeditStyle> that is not supported by |
535 |
your input method. For example, if you specified B<OverTheSpot> and |
536 |
your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) |
537 |
does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then |
538 |
rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method. |
539 |
|
540 |
In this case either do not specify a B<preeditStyle> or specify more than |
541 |
one pre-edit style, such as B<OverTheSpot,Root,None>. |
542 |
|
543 |
=head3 I cannot type C<Ctrl-Shift-2> to get an ASCII NUL character due to ISO 14755 |
544 |
|
545 |
Either try C<Ctrl-2> alone (it often is mapped to ASCII NUL even on |
546 |
international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your |
547 |
advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for other |
548 |
codes, too, such as C<Ctrl-Shift-1-d> to type the default telnet escape |
549 |
character and so on. |
550 |
|
551 |
=head3 Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works. |
552 |
|
553 |
Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing |
554 |
some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've |
555 |
heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A |
556 |
quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are |
557 |
depressed. |
558 |
|
559 |
=head3 What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour? |
560 |
|
561 |
Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
562 |
BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
563 |
question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
564 |
Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>. |
565 |
|
566 |
Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian |
567 |
policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct |
568 |
choice :). |
569 |
|
570 |
Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value |
571 |
of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't |
572 |
started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the |
573 |
system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will |
574 |
be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting). |
575 |
|
576 |
For starting a new rxvt-unicode: |
577 |
|
578 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
579 |
$ stty erase ^H |
580 |
$ @@URXVT_NAME@@ |
581 |
|
582 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
583 |
$ stty erase ^? |
584 |
$ @@URXVT_NAME@@ |
585 |
|
586 |
Toggle with C<ESC [ 36 h> / C<ESC [ 36 l>. |
587 |
|
588 |
For an existing rxvt-unicode: |
589 |
|
590 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
591 |
$ stty erase ^H |
592 |
$ echo -n "^[[36h" |
593 |
|
594 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
595 |
$ stty erase ^? |
596 |
$ echo -n "^[[36l" |
597 |
|
598 |
This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |
599 |
if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |
600 |
properly reflects that. |
601 |
|
602 |
The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem. |
603 |
To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete |
604 |
key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute |
605 |
(C<ESC [ 3 ~>) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo. |
606 |
|
607 |
Some other Backspace problems: |
608 |
|
609 |
some editors use termcap/terminfo, |
610 |
some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H, |
611 |
GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help. |
612 |
|
613 |
Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner. |
614 |
|
615 |
=head3 I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them? |
616 |
|
617 |
There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless |
618 |
you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can |
619 |
use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysyms. |
620 |
|
621 |
Here's an example for a URxvt session started using C<@@URXVT_NAME@@ -name URxvt> |
622 |
|
623 |

=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 |
647 |
|
648 |
KP_Insert == Insert |
649 |
F22 == Print |
650 |
F27 == Home |
651 |
F29 == Prior |
652 |
F33 == End |
653 |
F35 == Next |
654 |
|
655 |
Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accommodate all the various possible |
656 |
keyboard mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as |
657 |
required for your particular machine. |
658 |
|
659 |
|
660 |
|
661 |
=head2 Terminal Configuration |
662 |
|
663 |
=head3 Can I see a typical configuration? |
664 |
|
665 |
The default configuration tries to be xterm-like, which I don't like that |
666 |
much, but it's least surprise to regular users. |
667 |
|
668 |
As a rxvt or rxvt-unicode user, you are practically supposed to invest |
669 |
time into customising your terminal. To get you started, here is the |
670 |
author's .Xdefaults entries, with comments on what they do. It's certainly |
671 |
not I<typical>, but what's typical... |
672 |
|
673 |
URxvt.cutchars: "()*,<>[]{}|' |
674 |
URxvt.print-pipe: cat >/tmp/xxx |
675 |
|
676 |
These are just for testing stuff. |
677 |
|
678 |
URxvt.imLocale: ja_JP.UTF-8 |
679 |
URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None |
680 |
|
681 |
This tells rxvt-unicode to use a special locale when communicating with |
682 |
the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit |
683 |
type, which requires the C<xim-onthespot> perl extension but rewards me |
684 |
with 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 |

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 |
|
693 |
This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library |
694 |
directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I |
695 |
develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I |
696 |
write. |
697 |
|
698 |
The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware |
699 |
and tells it to convert pelr error mssages into vi-commands to load the |
700 |
relevant file and go tot he error line number. |
701 |
|
702 |
URxvt.scrollstyle: plain |
703 |
URxvt.secondaryScroll: true |
704 |
|
705 |
As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the |
706 |
author. The C<secondaryScroll> confgiures urxvt to scroll in full-screen |
707 |
apps, like screen, so lines scorlled out of screen end up in urxvt's |
708 |
scrollback buffer. |
709 |
|

URxvt.throughColor: #8080f0 |

URxvt.highlightColor: #f0f0f0 |
717 |
|
718 |
Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but |
719 |
these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background |
720 |
to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the |
721 |
default foreground colour. |
722 |
|
723 |
URxvt.underlineColor: yellow |
724 |
|
725 |
Another colour, makes underline lines look different. Sometimes hurts, but |
726 |
is mostly a nice effect. |
727 |
|
728 |
URxvt.geometry: 154x36 |
729 |
URxvt.loginShell: false |
730 |
URxvt.meta: ignore |
731 |
URxvt.utmpInhibit: true |
732 |
|
733 |
Uh, well, should be mostly self-explanatory. By specifying some defaults |
734 |
manually, I can quickly switch them for testing. |
735 |
|
736 |
URxvt.saveLines: 8192 |
737 |
|
738 |
A large scrollback buffer is essential. Really. |
739 |
|
740 |
URxvt.mapAlert: true |
741 |
|
742 |
The only case I use it is for my IRC window, which I like to keep |
743 |
iconified till people msg me (which beeps). |
744 |
|
745 |
URxvt.visualBell: true |

|
767 |
I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be |
768 |
overwhelmed. A special note: the C<9x15bold> mentioend above is actually |
769 |
the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different |
770 |
font (different glyphs for C<;> and many other harmless characters), |
771 |
while the second font is actually the C<9x15bold> from XFree4/XOrg. The |
772 |
bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare |
773 |
characters, too. Whene ditign sources with vim, I use italic for comments |
774 |
and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased. |
775 |
|
776 |
Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my |
777 |
purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold) |
778 |
font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and |
779 |
normal fonts. |

|
781 |
Please note that I used the C<urxvt> instance name and not the C<URxvt> |
782 |
class name. Thats because I use different configs for different purposes, |
783 |
for example, my IRC window is started with C<-name IRC>, and uses these |
784 |
defaults: |
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 |
|
796 |
C<Alt-Shift-1> and C<Alt-Shift-2> switch between two different font |
797 |
sizes. C<suxuseuro> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read) |
798 |
stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something |
799 |
complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font. |
800 |
|
801 |
The above is all in my C<.Xdefaults> (I don't use C<.Xresources> nor |
802 |
C<xrdb>). I also have some resources in a separate C<.Xdefaults-hostname> |
803 |
file 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 |
|
811 |
The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows |
812 |
in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop |
813 |
immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the |
814 |
same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key |
815 |
combinations :-> |
816 |
|
817 |
=head3 Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources? |
818 |
|
819 |
Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X |
820 |
applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads |
821 |
resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will |
822 |
ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read |
823 |
F<$HOME/.Xdefaults> when no resources are attached to the display. |
824 |
|
825 |
If you have or use an F<$HOME/.Xresources> file, chances are that |
826 |
resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to |
827 |
re-login after every change (or run F<xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources>). |
828 |
|
829 |
Also consider the form resources have to use: |
830 |
|
831 |
URxvt.resource: value |
832 |
|
833 |
If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of |
834 |
specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it |
835 |
works. If unsure, use the form above. |
836 |
|
837 |
=head3 When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? |
838 |
|
839 |
The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
840 |
as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises). |
841 |
|
842 |
The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can |
843 |
be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp): |
844 |
|
845 |
REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
846 |
infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" |
847 |
|
848 |
... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system, |
849 |
|
850 |
If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
851 |
C<TERM=rxvt> or even C<TERM=xterm>, and live with the small number of |
852 |
problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
853 |
colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
854 |
quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though. |
855 |
|
856 |
If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you |
857 |
can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a |
858 |
resource to set it: |
859 |
|
860 |
URxvt.termName: rxvt |
861 |
|
862 |
If you don't plan to use B<rxvt> (quite common...) you could also replace |
863 |
the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one and use C<TERM=rxvt>. |
864 |
|
865 |
=head3 C<tic> outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry. |
866 |
|
867 |
Most likely it's the empty definition for C<enacs=>. Just replace it by |
868 |
C<enacs=\E[0@> and try again. |
869 |
|
870 |
=head3 C<bash>'s readline does not work correctly under @@URXVT_NAME@@. |
871 |
|
872 |
See next entry. |
873 |
|
874 |
=head3 I need a termcap file entry. |
875 |
|
876 |
One reason you might want this is that some distributions or operating |
877 |
systems still compile some programs using the long-obsoleted termcap |
878 |
library (Fedora Core's bash is one example) and rely on a termcap entry |
879 |
for C<rxvt-unicode>. |
880 |
|
881 |
You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many cases. |
882 |
You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program |
883 |
like this: |
884 |
|
885 |
infocmp -C rxvt-unicode |
886 |
|
887 |
Or you could use this termcap entry, generated by the command above: |
888 |
|
889 |

=head3 Why does C<ls> no longer have coloured output? |
911 |
|
912 |
The C<ls> in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to |
913 |
decide wether a terminal has colour, but uses it's own configuration |
914 |
file. Needless to say, C<rxvt-unicode> is not in it's default file (among |
915 |
with most other terminals supporting colour). Either add: |
916 |
|
917 |
TERM rxvt-unicode |
918 |
|
919 |
to C</etc/DIR_COLORS> or simply add: |
920 |
|
921 |
alias ls='ls --color=auto' |
922 |
|
923 |
to your C<.profile> or C<.bashrc>. |
924 |
|
925 |
=head3 Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. use the 88 colour mode? |
926 |
|
927 |
See next entry. |
928 |
|
929 |
=head3 Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. make use of italic? |
930 |
|
931 |
See next entry. |
932 |
|
933 |
=head3 Why are the secondary screen-related options not working properly? |
934 |
|
935 |
Make sure you are using C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>. Some pre-packaged |
936 |
distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode |
937 |
by setting C<TERM> to C<rxvt>, which doesn't have these extra |
938 |
features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian |
939 |
GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
940 |
file, so you will need to install it on your own (See the question B<When |
941 |
I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?> on |
942 |
how to do this). |
943 |

=head2 Encoding / Locale / Input Method Issues |
946 |
|
947 |
=head3 Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding? |
948 |
|
949 |
See next entry. |
950 |
|
951 |
=head3 Unicode does not seem to work? |
952 |
|
953 |
If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but |
954 |
getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is |
955 |
subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings. |
956 |
|
957 |
Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same C<LC_CTYPE> setting as the |
958 |
programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the C<C> locale, while the |
959 |
login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to |
960 |
something else, e.g. C<en_GB.UTF-8>. Needless to say, this is not going to work. |
961 |
|
962 |
The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run |
963 |
into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile. |
964 |
|
965 |
printf '\33]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" |
966 |
|
967 |
If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a C<LC_CTYPE> specification not |
968 |
supported on your systems. Some systems have a C<locale> command which |
969 |
displays this (also, C<perl -e0> can be used to check locale settings, as |
970 |
it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). If it displays something |
971 |
like: |
972 |
|
973 |
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
974 |
|
975 |
Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
976 |
|
977 |
If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then |
978 |
you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't |
979 |
support locales :( |
980 |
|
981 |
=head3 How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |
982 |
|
983 |
See next entry. |
984 |
|
985 |
=head3 Is there an option to switch encodings? |
986 |
|
987 |
Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
988 |
specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
989 |
UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O. |
990 |
|
991 |
The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
992 |
the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
993 |
applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width |
994 |
and code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>. Applications not using |
995 |
that info will have problems (for example, C<xterm> gets the width of |
996 |
characters wrong as it uses it's own, locale-independent table under all |
997 |
locales). |
998 |
|
999 |
Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All |
1000 |
programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
1001 |
interpretation of characters. |
1002 |
|
1003 |
Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
1004 |
is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
1005 |
|
1006 |
On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable |
1007 |
contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
1008 |
locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>, |
1009 |
C<ja_JP.EUC-JP>, i.e. C<language_country.encoding>, but other forms |
1010 |
(i.e. C<de> or C<german>) are also common. |
1011 |
|
1012 |
Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
1013 |
the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
1014 |
i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the normally same to |
1015 |
rxvt-unicode. |
1016 |
|
1017 |
If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |
1018 |
rxvt-unicode with the correct C<LC_CTYPE> category. |
1019 |
|
1020 |
=head3 Can I switch locales at runtime? |
1021 |
|
1022 |
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |
1023 |
rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>. |
1024 |
|
1025 |
printf '\33]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
1026 |
|
1027 |
See also the previous answer. |
1028 |
|
1029 |
Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in |
1030 |
one locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support it |
1031 |
(e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which |
1032 |
first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
1033 |
|
1034 |
printf '\33]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
1035 |
xjdic -js |
1036 |
printf '\33]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8 |
1037 |
|
1038 |
You can also use xterm's C<luit> program, which usually works fine, except |
1039 |
for some locales where character width differs between program- and |
1040 |
rxvt-unicode-locales. |
1041 |
|
1042 |
=head3 I have problems getting my input method working. |
1043 |
|
1044 |
Try a search engine, as this is slightly different for every input method server. |
1045 |
|
1046 |
Here is a checklist: |
1047 |
|
1048 |
=over 4 |
1049 |
|
1050 |
=item - Make sure your locale I<and> the imLocale are supported on your OS. |
1051 |
|
1052 |
Try C<locale -a> or check the documentation for your OS. |
1053 |
|
1054 |
=item - Make sure your locale or imLocale matches a locale supported by your XIM. |
1055 |
|
1056 |
For example, B<kinput2> does not support UTF-8 locales, you should use |
1057 |
C<ja_JP.EUC-JP> or equivalent. |
1058 |
|
1059 |
=item - Make sure your XIM server is actually running. |
1060 |
|
1061 |
=item - Make sure the C<XMODIFIERS> environment variable is set correctly when I<starting> rxvt-unicode. |
1062 |
|
1063 |
When you want to use e.g. B<kinput2>, it must be set to |
1064 |
C<@im=kinput2>. For B<scim>, use C<@im=SCIM>. Youc an see what input |
1065 |
method servers are running with this command: |
1066 |
|
1067 |
xprop -root XIM_SERVERS |
1068 |
|
1069 |
=item |
1070 |
|
1071 |
=back |
1072 |
|
1073 |
=head3 My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do? |
1074 |
|
1075 |
You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the |
1076 |
terminal, using the resource C<imlocale>: |
1077 |
|
1078 |
URxvt.imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
1079 |
|
1080 |
Now you can start your terminal with C<LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8> and still |
1081 |
use your input method. Please note, however, that, depending on your Xlib |
1082 |
version, you may not be able to input characters outside C<EUC-JP> in a |
1083 |
normal way then, as your input method limits you. |
1084 |
|
1085 |
=head3 Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits. |
1086 |
|
1087 |
Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
1088 |
design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
1089 |
leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at |
1090 |
exit time. B<kinput2> (and derived input methods) generally succeeds, |
1091 |
while B<SCIM> (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however, |
1092 |
crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides cooperate. |
1093 |
|
1094 |
So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers. |
1095 |
|
1096 |

=head2 Operating Systems / Package Maintaining |
1098 |
|
1099 |
=head3 I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem... |
1100 |
|
1101 |
The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
1102 |
patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but |
1103 |
unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to |
1104 |
the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine |
1105 |
version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce |
1106 |
the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to |
1107 |
Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug |
1108 |
Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug). |
1109 |
|
1110 |
For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
1111 |
probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
1112 |
bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that |
1113 |
might encounter the same issue. |
1114 |
|
1115 |
=head3 I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation? |
1116 |
|
1117 |
You should build one binary with the default options. F<configure> |
1118 |
now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
1119 |
runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them, |
1120 |
except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should |
1121 |
be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in |
1122 |
the future) depends on it. |
1123 |
|
1124 |
You should not overwrite the C<perl-ext-common> snd C<perl-ext> resources |
1125 |
system-wide (except maybe with C<defaults>). This will result in useful |
1126 |
behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty |
1127 |
C<perl-ext-common> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the |
1128 |
perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it. |
1129 |
|
1130 |
If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
1131 |
one with C<--disable-everything> (very useful) and a maximal one with |
1132 |
C<--enable-everything> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of |
1133 |
encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used). |
1134 |
|
1135 |
=head3 I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe? |
1136 |
|
1137 |
It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly |
1138 |
install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now. |
1139 |
|
1140 |
When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork |
1141 |
into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some |
1142 |
systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges |
1143 |
immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep |
1144 |
privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains |
1145 |
things as perl interpreters, which might be "helpful" to attackers). |
1146 |
|
1147 |
This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early |
1148 |
and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or |
1149 |
things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very |

=head3 On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide. |
1153 |
|
1154 |
Seems to be a known bug, read |
1155 |
L<http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the |
1156 |
following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working: |
1157 |
|
1158 |
#define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x) |
1159 |
|
1160 |
=head3 I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all. |
1161 |
|
1162 |
Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> to be defined |
1163 |
in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it, |
1164 |
wether it defines the symbol or not. C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> requires that |
1165 |
B<wchar_t> is represented as unicode. |
1166 |
|
1167 |
As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor |
1168 |
does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of |
1169 |
B<wchar_t>. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards. |
1170 |
|
1171 |
However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in C<POSIX>, C<ISO-8859-1> and |
1172 |
C<UTF-8> locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as B<wchar_t>. |
1173 |
|
1174 |
C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> is the only sane way to support multi-language |
1175 |
apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized) |
1176 |
representation of B<wchar_t> makes it impossible to convert between |
1177 |
B<wchar_t> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any other encoding |
1178 |
without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and every locale. There |
1179 |
simply are no APIs to convert B<wchar_t> into anything except the current |
1180 |
locale encoding. |
1181 |
|
1182 |
Some applications (such as the formidable B<mlterm>) work around this |
1183 |
by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling |
1184 |
with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple |
1185 |
conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements |
1186 |
encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator). |
1187 |
|
1188 |
The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the |
1189 |
system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry |
1190 |
complete replacements for them :) |
1191 |

=head3 I use Solaris 9 and it doesn't compile/work/etc. |
1193 |
|
1194 |
Try the diff in F<doc/solaris9.patch> as a base. It fixes the worst |
1195 |
problems with C<wcwidth> and a compile problem. |
1196 |
|
1197 |
=head3 How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin? |
1198 |
|
1199 |
rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
1200 |
the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
1201 |
longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
1202 |
single font). I recommend starting the X-server in C<-multiwindow> or |
1203 |
C<-rootless> mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as the |
1204 |
old libW11 emulation. |
1205 |
|
1206 |
At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte |
1207 |
encodings (you might try C<LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8>), so you are likely limited |
1208 |
to 8-bit encodings. |

=head1 CONFIGURE OPTIONS |
2199 |
|
2200 |
General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
2201 |
hasn't been tested well. Either try with C<--enable-everything> or use |
2202 |
the F<./reconf> script as a base for experiments. F<./reconf> is used by |
2203 |
myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should |
2204 |
always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc |
2205 |
Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. |

|
2209 |
=over 4 |
2210 |
|
2211 |
=item --enable-everything |
2212 |
|
2213 |
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure |
2214 |
--help". |
2215 |
|
2216 |
You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by |
2217 |
I<following> this with the appropriate C<--disable-...> arguments, |
2218 |
or you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying |
2219 |
C<--disable-everything> and than adding just the C<--enable-...> arguments |
2220 |
you want. |
2221 |
|
2222 |
=item --enable-xft (default: enabled) |
2223 |
|
2224 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts are |
2225 |
slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them, you |
2226 |
don't pay for them. |
2227 |
|
2228 |
=item --enable-font-styles (default: on) |
2229 |
|
2230 |
Add support for B<bold>, I<italic> and B<< I<bold italic> >> font |
2231 |
styles. The fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
2232 |
|
2233 |
=item --with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all) |
2234 |
|
2235 |
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (C<eu>, C<vn> |
2236 |
are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets). These |
2237 |
codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, they are not required |
2238 |
for Xft fonts, although having them compiled in lets rxvt-unicode choose |
2239 |
replacement fonts more intelligently. Compiling them in will make your |
2240 |
binary bigger (all of together cost about 700kB), but it doesn't increase |
2241 |
memory usage unless you use a font requiring one of these encodings. |

=end table |
2253 |
|
2254 |
=item --enable-xim (default: on) |
2255 |
|
2256 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
2257 |
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly |
2258 |
set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
2259 |
|
2260 |
=item --enable-unicode3 (default: off) |
2261 |
|
2262 |
Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters. |
2263 |
|
2264 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above |
2265 |
65535 (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage |
2266 |
requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet |
2267 |
support these extra characters, but Xft does. |
2268 |
|
2269 |
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
2270 |
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is |
2271 |
limited to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, |
2272 |
see next switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
2273 |
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
2274 |
|
2275 |
=item --enable-combining (default: on) |
2276 |
|
2277 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into |
2278 |
composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text |
2279 |
where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is |
2280 |
done by using precomposited characters when available or creating |
2281 |
new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
2282 |
|
2283 |
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
2284 |
characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will be |
2285 |
(ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
2286 |
|
2287 |
This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
2288 |
beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
2289 |
|
2290 |
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation forms, |
2291 |
but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to be used (and |
2292 |
tell me how these are to be used...). |
2293 |
|
2294 |
=item --enable-fallback(=CLASS) (default: Rxvt) |
2295 |
|
2296 |
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS. To |
2297 |
disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback. |
2298 |
|
2299 |
=item --with-res-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
2300 |
|
2301 |
Use the given name as default application name when |
2302 |
reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
2303 |
|
2304 |
=item --with-res-class=CLASS /default: URxvt) |
2305 |
|
2306 |
Use the given class as default application class |
2307 |
when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace |
2308 |
rxvt. |
2309 |
|
2310 |
=item --enable-utmp (default: on) |
2311 |
|
2312 |
Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like F<w>) at |
2313 |
start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits. |
2314 |
|
2315 |
=item --enable-wtmp (default: on) |
2316 |
|
2317 |
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like F<last>) at |
2318 |
start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |
2319 |
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
2320 |
|
2321 |
=item --enable-lastlog (default: on) |
2322 |
|
2323 |
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like |
2324 |

2325 |
--enable-utmp to also be specified. |
2326 |
|
2327 |
=item --enable-xpm-background (default: on) |
2328 |

2335 |
|
2336 |
=item --enable-fading (default: on) |

2355 |
|
2356 |
=item --enable-plain-scroll (default: on) |
2357 |
|
2358 |
Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that |
2359 |
is the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for |
2360 |
many years. |
2361 |
|
2362 |
=item --enable-ttygid (default: off) |
2363 |

your system uses this type of security. |
2366 |
|
2367 |

2370 |
|
2371 |

2383 |
|
2384 |
=item --enable-frills (default: on) |
2385 |
|
2386 |
Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice to |
2387 |
have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may want to |
2388 |
disable this. |
2389 |
|
2390 |
A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by C<--enable-frills> (possibly |
2391 |
in combination with other switches) is: |
2392 |
|
2393 |
MWM-hints |
2394 |
EWMH-hints (pid, utf8 names) and protocols (ping) |
2395 |
