32 | =head3 My question isn't answered here, can I ask a human? |
|
|
33 | |
|
|
34 | Before sending me mail, you could go to IRC: C<irc.freenode.net>, |
|
|
35 | channel C<#rxvt-unicode> has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might be |
|
|
36 | interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not FAQs :). |
|
|
37 | |
|
|
38 | =head3 I use Gentoo, and I have a problem... |
|
|
39 | |
|
|
40 | There are three big problems with Gentoo Linux: first of all, most if not |
|
|
41 | all Gentoo systems are completely broken (missing or mismatched header |
|
|
42 | files, broken compiler etc. are just the tip of the iceberg); secondly, |
|
|
43 | the Gentoo maintainer thinks it is a good idea to add broken patches to |
|
|
44 | the code; and lastly, it should be called Gentoo GNU/Linux. |
|
|
45 | |
|
|
46 | For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on |
|
|
47 | Gentoo. Problems appearing on Gentoo systems will usually simply be |
|
|
48 | ignored unless they can be reproduced on non-Gentoo systems. |
|
|
49 | |
|
|
50 | =head3 Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode? |
|
|
51 | |
|
|
52 | Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a |
|
|
53 | simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should |
|
|
54 | give you tabs: |
|
|
55 | |
|
|
56 | @@URXVT_NAME@@ -pe tabbed |
|
|
57 | |
|
|
58 | URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed |
|
|
59 | |
|
|
60 | It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers |
|
|
61 | or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be |
|
|
62 | embedded into other programs, as witnessed by F<doc/rxvt-tabbed> or |
|
|
63 | the upcoming C<Gtk2::URxvt> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt |
|
|
64 | (murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application. |
|
|
65 | |
|
|
66 | =head3 How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using? |
|
|
67 | |
|
|
68 | The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape |
|
|
69 | sequence C<ESC [ 8 n> sets the window title to the version number. When |
|
|
70 | using the @@URXVT_NAME@@c client, the version displayed is that of the |
|
|
71 | daemon. |
|
|
72 | |
|
|
73 | =head3 Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that? |
|
|
74 | |
|
|
75 | Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something you |
|
|
76 | don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that |
|
|
77 | you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design, |
|
|
78 | when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded |
|
|
79 | accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters. |
|
|
80 | |
|
|
81 | Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger |
|
|
82 | scrollback buffers: Without C<--enable-unicode3>, rxvt-unicode will use |
|
|
83 | 6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a |
|
|
84 | kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full) |
|
|
85 | use 10 Megabytes of memory. With C<--enable-unicode3> it gets worse, as |
|
|
86 | rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell. |
|
|
87 | |
|
|
88 | =head3 How can I start @@URXVT_NAME@@d in a race-free way? |
|
|
89 | |
|
|
90 | Try C<@@URXVT_NAME@@d -f -o>, which tells @@URXVT_NAME@@d to open the |
|
|
91 | display, create the listening socket and then fork. |

|
93 | =head3 How can I start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically when I run @@URXVT_NAME@@c? |

110 | =head3 How do I distinguish whether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular |
|
|
111 | xterm? I need this to decide about setting colours etc. |
|
|
112 | |
|
|
113 | The original rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", |
|
|
114 | so you can check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, |
|
|
115 | slrn, Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide |
|
|
116 | whether or not to use colour. |
|
|
117 | |
|
|
118 | =head3 How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable? |
|
|
119 | |
|
|
120 | If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled |
|
|
121 | insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
|
|
122 | snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
|
|
123 | wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then |
|
|
124 | the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a |
|
|
125 | regular xterm. |

143 | =head3 How do I compile the manual pages on my own? |
|
|
144 | |
|
|
145 | You need to have a recent version of perl installed as F</usr/bin/perl>, |
|
|
146 | one that comes with F<pod2man>, F<pod2text> and F<pod2xhtml> (from |
|
|
147 | F<Pod::Xhtml>). Then go to the doc subdirectory and enter C<make alldoc>. |
|
|
148 | |
|
|
149 | =head3 Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat? |
|
|
150 | |
|
|
151 | I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra |
|
|
152 | bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see |
|
|
153 | that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being |
|
|
154 | compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even |
|
|
155 | with C<--disable-everything>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many |
|
|
156 | features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are |
|
|
157 | already in use in this mode. |
|
|

|
|
161 | 188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything |
|
|
162 | |
|
|
163 | When you C<--enable-everything> (which I<is> unfair, as this involves xft |
|
|
164 | and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my |
|
|
165 | libc), the two diverge, but not unreasonably so. |
|
|
166 | |
|
|
167 | text data bss drs rss filename |

|
|
169 | 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything |
|
|
170 | |
|
|
171 | The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian |
|
|
172 | encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else |
|
|
173 | and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those |
|
|
174 | encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ |
|
|
175 | compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of |
|
|
176 | memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a |
|
|
177 | few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when |
|
|
178 | not used. |
|
|
179 | |
|
|
180 | Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one, |
|
|
181 | a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more |
|
|
182 | memory. |
|
|
183 | |
|
|
184 | Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this |
|
|
185 | still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal |
|
|
186 | (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra |
|
|
187 | 43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of |
|
|
188 | startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares |
|
|
189 | extremely well *g*. |
|
|
190 | |
|
|
191 | =head3 Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool? |
|
|
192 | |
|
|
193 | Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had |
|
|
194 | to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction |
|
|
195 | of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even |
|
|
196 | shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++. |
|
|
197 | |
|
|
198 | My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in |
|
|
199 | the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits |
|
|
200 | are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix |
|
|
201 | domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself. |
|
|
202 | |
|
|
203 | Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs |
|
|
204 | in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in |
|
|
205 | C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is |
|
|
206 | not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my |
|
|
207 | system with a minimal config: |
|
|
208 | |
|
|
209 | libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
|
|
210 | libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000) |
|
|
211 | libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000) |
|
|
212 | /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
|
|
213 | |
|
|
214 | And here is rxvt-unicode: |
|
|
215 | |
|
|
216 | libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
|
|
217 | libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000) |
|
|
218 | libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000) |
|
|
219 | libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000) |
|
|
220 | /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
|
|
221 | |
|
|
222 | No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically), |
|
|
223 | except maybe libX11 :) |

226 | =head2 Rendering, Font & Look and Feel Issues |
|
|
227 | |
|
|
228 | =head3 I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong? |
|
|
229 | |
|
|
230 | First of all, please address all transparency related issues to Sasha Vasko at |
|
|
231 | sasha@aftercode.net and do not bug the author about it. Also, if you can't |
|
|
232 | get it working consider it a rite of passage: ... and you failed. |
|
|
233 | |
|
|
234 | Here are four ways to get transparency. B<Do> read the manpage and option |
|
|
235 | descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it! |
|
|
236 | |
|
|
237 | 1. Use transparent mode: |
|
|
238 | |
|
|
239 | Esetroot wallpaper.jpg |
|
|
240 | @@URXVT_NAME@@ -tr -tint red -sh 40 |
|
|
241 | |
|
|
242 | That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting |
|
|
243 | support, or you are unable to read. |
|
|
244 | |
|
|
245 | 2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you |
|
|
246 | to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever |
|
|
247 | your picture with gimp or any other tool: |
|
|
248 | |
|
|
249 | convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.jpg |
|
|
250 | @@URXVT_NAME@@ -pixmap "background.jpg;:root" |
|
|
251 | |
|
|
252 | That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack AfterImage support, or you |
|
|
253 | are unable to read. |
|
|
254 | |
|
|
255 | 3. Use an ARGB visual: |
|
|
256 | |
|
|
257 | @@URXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc |
|
|
258 | |
|
|
259 | This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that |
|
|
260 | doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't |
|
|
261 | there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the necessary |
|
|
262 | bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that |
|
|
263 | doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place. |
|
|
264 | |
|
|
265 | 4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job: |
|
|
266 | |
|
|
267 | xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \ |
|
|
268 | -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000 |
|
|
269 | |
|
|
270 | Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace C<0xc0000000> |
|
|
271 | by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and |
|
|
272 | your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces. |
|
|
273 | |
|
|
274 | =head3 Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings? |
|
|
275 | |
|
|
276 | Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character |
|
|
277 | size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might |
|
|
278 | contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid |
|
|
279 | these characters. For characters that are just "a bit" too wide a special |
|
|
280 | "careful" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters. |
|
|
281 | |
|
|
282 | All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
|
|
283 | however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding |
|
|
284 | box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to |
|
|
285 | ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these |
|
|
286 | cases). |
|
|
287 | |
|
|
288 | It's not clear (to me at least), whether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, |
|
|
289 | or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using |
|
|
290 | the C<-lsp> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you |
|
|
291 | might be forced to use a different font. |
|
|
292 | |
|
|
293 | All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding |
|
|
294 | box data is correct. |
|
|
295 | |
|
|
296 | =head3 How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much? |
|
|
297 | |
|
|
298 | First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings |
|
|
299 | (C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then |
|
|
300 | make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise |
|
|
301 | rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect: |
|
|
302 | |
|
|
303 | URxvt.colorBD: white |
|
|
304 | URxvt.colorIT: green |
|
|
305 | |
|
|
306 | =head3 Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that? |
|
|
307 | |
|
|
308 | For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird |
|
|
309 | colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the standard |
|
|
310 | 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of course, to fix |
|
|
311 | these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very good reasons. |
|
|
312 | |
|
|
313 | In the meantime, you can either edit your C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
|
|
314 | definition to only claim 8 colour support or use C<TERM=rxvt>, which will |
|
|
315 | fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features. |
|
|
316 | |
|
|
317 | =head3 Can I switch the fonts at runtime? |
|
|

319 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same |
|
|
320 | effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately: |
|
|
321 | |
|
|
322 | printf '\33]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
|
|
323 | |
|
|
324 | This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
|
|
325 | japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
|
|
326 | japanese fonts would only be in your way. |
|
|
327 | |
|
|
328 | You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching. |

330 | =head3 Why do italic characters look as if clipped? |
|
|
331 | |
|
|
332 | Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
|
|
333 | example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font C<xft:Bitstream Vera Sans |
|
|
334 | Mono> completely fails in its italic face. A workaround might be to |
|
|
335 | enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this: |
|
|
336 | |
|
|
337 | URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
|
|
338 | URxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true |
|
|
339 | |
|
|
340 | =head3 Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow? |
|
|
341 | |
|
|
342 | Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as |
|
|
343 | it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable |
|
|
344 | antialiasing (by appending C<:antialias=false>), which saves lots of |
|
|
345 | memory and also speeds up rendering considerably. |
|
|
346 | |
|
|
347 | =head3 Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong? |
|
|
348 | |
|
|
349 | Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
|
|
350 | fall back to its default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
|
|
351 | fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has |
|
|
352 | antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they |
|
|
353 | look best that way. |
|
|
354 | |
|
|
355 | If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually. |
|
|
356 | |
|
|
357 | =head3 What's with this bold/blink stuff? |
|
|
358 | |
|
|
359 | If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the |
|
|
360 | standard foreground colour. |
|
|
361 | |
|
|
362 | For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make |
|
|
363 | the text blink when compiled with C<--enable-text-blink>. Without |
|
|
364 | C<--enable-text-blink>, the blink attribute will be ignored. |
|
|
365 | |
|
|
366 | On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity |
|
|
367 | foreground/background colours. |
|
|
368 | |
|
|
369 | color0-7 are the low-intensity colours. |
|
|
370 | |
|
|
371 | color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colours. |
|
|
372 | |
|
|
373 | =head3 I don't like the screen colours. How do I change them? |

|
|

|
|
377 | |

|
425 | |
|
|
426 | =head3 How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts? |
|
|
427 | |
|
|
428 | Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is |
|
|
429 | fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
|
|
430 | your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want |
|
|
431 | to display. |
|
|
432 | |
|
|
433 | B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |
|
|
434 | font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
|
|
435 | bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't |
|
|
436 | resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial |
|
|
437 | intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe |
|
|
438 | the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct. |
|
|
439 | |
|
|
440 | In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
|
|
441 | e.g.: |
|
|
442 | |
|
|
443 | @@URXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
|
|
444 | |
|
|
445 | When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
|
|
446 | font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the |
|
|
447 | next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
|
|
448 | search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server. |
|
|
449 | |
|
|
450 | The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base |
|
|
451 | font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which |
|
|
452 | must be the same due to the way terminals work. |
|
|
453 | |
|
|
454 | =head3 Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
|
|
455 | |
|
|
456 | This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
|
|
457 | rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is, |
|
|
458 | as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first |
|
|
459 | sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
|
|
460 | display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many |
|
|
461 | chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
|
|
462 | non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
|
|
463 | -- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
|
|
464 | chinese characters that are also in the japanese font. |
|
|
465 | |
|
|
466 | The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
|
|
467 | list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
|
|
468 | a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
|
|
469 | first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first. |
|
|
470 | |
|
|
471 | In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
|
|
472 | runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different |
|
|
473 | fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this |
|
|
474 | has been designed yet). |
|
|
475 | |
|
|
476 | Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see L<Can |
|
|
477 | I switch the fonts at runtime?> later in this document). |

486 | =head2 Keyboard, Mouse & User Interaction |
|
|
487 | |
|
|
488 | =head3 The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words? |
|
|
489 | |
|
|
490 | If you want to select e.g. alphanumeric words, you can use the following |
|
|
491 | setting: |
|
|
492 | |
|
|
493 | URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+) |
|
|
494 | |
|
|
495 | If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended |
|
|
496 | more and more. |
|
|
497 | |
|
|
498 | To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern: |
|
|
499 | |
|
|
500 | URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+) |
|
|
501 | |
|
|
502 | Please also note that the I<LeftClick Shift-LeftClick> combination also |
|
|
503 | selects words like the old code. |
|
|
504 | |
|
|
505 | =head3 I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it? |
|
|
506 | |
|
|
507 | You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the |
|
|
508 | B<perl-ext-common> resource to the empty string, which also keeps |
|
|
509 | rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory. |
|
|
510 | |
|
|
511 | If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
|
|
512 | identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section |
|
|
513 | B<PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS> in the @@URXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage. For |
|
|
514 | example, to disable the B<selection-popup> and B<option-popup>, specify |
|
|
515 | this B<perl-ext-common> resource: |
|
|
516 | |
|
|
517 | URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup |
|
|
518 | |
|
|
519 | This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup |
|
|
520 | extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example, |
|
|
521 | scrollback search mode is triggered by B<M-s>. You can move it to any |
|
|
522 | other combination either by setting the B<searchable-scrollback> resource: |
|
|
523 | |
|
|
524 | URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s |

530 | =head3 During rlogin/ssh/telnet/etc. sessions, clicking near the cursor outputs strange escape sequences, how do I fix this? |
|
|
531 | |
|
|
532 | These are caused by the C<readline> perl extension. Under normal |
|
|
533 | circumstances, it will move your cursor around when you click into the |
|
|
534 | line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment, |
|
|
535 | but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in some |
|
|
536 | cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly. |
|
|
537 | |
|
|
538 | You can permanently switch this feature off by disabling the C<readline> |
|
|
539 | extension: |
|
|
540 | |
|
|
541 | URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-readline |

|
|
544 | |
|
|
545 | Some Debian GNUL/Linux users seem to have this problem, although no |
|
|
546 | specific details were reported so far. It is possible that this is caused |
|
|
547 | by the wrong C<TERM> setting, although the details of whether and how |
|
|
548 | this can happen are unknown, as C<TERM=rxvt> should offer a compatible |

|
|
552 | =head3 My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working. |
|
|
553 | |
|
|
554 | The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set |
|
|
555 | correctly, or you specified a B<preeditStyle> that is not supported by |
|
|
556 | your input method. For example, if you specified B<OverTheSpot> and |
|
|
557 | your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) |
|
|
558 | does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then |
|
|
559 | rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method. |
|
|
560 | |
|
|
561 | In this case either do not specify a B<preeditStyle> or specify more than |
|
|
562 | one pre-edit style, such as B<OverTheSpot,Root,None>. |
|
|
563 | |
|
|
564 | If it still doesn't work, then maybe your input method doesn't support |
|
|
565 | compose sequences - to fall back to the built-in one, make sure you don't |
|
|
566 | specify an input method via C<-im> or C<XMODIFIERS>. |

569 | |

|
|
571 | international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your |
|
|
572 | advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for other |
|
|
573 | codes, too, such as C<Ctrl-Shift-1-d> to type the default telnet escape |
|
|
574 | character and so on. |

578 | Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing |

579 | some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've |
|
|
580 | heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A |

|
584 | =head3 What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour? |
|
|
585 | |
|
|
586 | Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
|
|
587 | Backspace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
|
|
588 | question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
|
|
589 | Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>. |
|
|
590 | |
|
|
591 | Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian |
|
|
592 | policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one and only correct |
|
|
593 | choice :). |
|
|
594 | |
|
|
595 | Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value |
|
|
596 | of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't |
|
|
597 | started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the |
|
|
598 | system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will |
|
|
599 | be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting). |
|
|
600 | |
|
|
601 | For starting a new rxvt-unicode: |
|
|
602 | |
|
|
603 | # use Backspace = ^H |
|
|
604 | $ stty erase ^H |
|
|

|
|
621 | $ echo -n "^[[36l" |
|
|
622 | |
|
|
623 | This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |
|
|
624 | if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |
|
|
625 | properly reflects that. |
|
|
626 | |
|
|
627 | The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem. |
|
|
628 | To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete |
|
|
629 | key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute |
|
|
630 | (C<ESC [ 3 ~>) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo. |
|
|
631 | |
|
|
632 | Some other Backspace problems: |
|
|
633 | |
|
|
634 | some editors use termcap/terminfo, |
|
|
635 | some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H, |
|
|
636 | GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help. |

671 | =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 |
|
|
672 | |
|
|
673 | KP_Insert == Insert |
|
|
674 | F22 == Print |
|
|
675 | F27 == Home |
|
|
676 | F29 == Prior |
|
|
677 | F33 == End |
|
|
678 | F35 == Next |
|
|
679 | |
|
|
680 | Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accommodate all the various possible |
|
|
681 | keyboard mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as |
|
|
682 | required for your particular machine. |
|
|
683 | |
|
|
684 | |
|
|
685 | =head2 Terminal Configuration |
|
|
686 | |
|
|
687 | =head3 Can I see a typical configuration? |
|
|
688 | |
|
|
689 | The default configuration tries to be xterm-like, which I don't like that |
|
|
690 | much, but it's least surprise to regular users. |
|
|
691 | |
|
|
692 | As a rxvt or rxvt-unicode user, you are practically supposed to invest |
|
|
693 | time into customising your terminal. To get you started, here is the |
|
|
694 | author's .Xdefaults entries, with comments on what they do. It's certainly |
|
|
695 | not I<typical>, but what's typical... |
|
|
696 | |
|
|
697 | URxvt.cutchars: "()*,<>[]{}|' |
|
|
698 | URxvt.print-pipe: cat >/tmp/xxx |
|
|
699 | |
|
|
700 | These are just for testing stuff. |
|
|
701 | |
|
|
702 | URxvt.imLocale: ja_JP.UTF-8 |
|
|
703 | URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None |
|
|
704 | |
|
|
705 | This tells rxvt-unicode to use a special locale when communicating with |
|
|
706 | the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit |
|
|
707 | type, which requires the C<xim-onthespot> perl extension but rewards me |
|
|
708 | with correct-looking fonts. |
|
|
709 | |
|
|
710 | URxvt.perl-lib: /root/lib/urxvt |
|
|
711 | URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform,selection-pastebin,xim-onthespot,remote-clipboard |
|
|
712 | URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+) |
|
|
713 | URxvt.selection.pattern-1: ^(/[^:]+):\ |
|
|
714 | URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/ |
|
|
715 | URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/ |
|
|
716 | |
|
|
717 | This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library |
|
|
718 | directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I |
|
|
719 | develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I |
|
|
720 | write. |
|
|
721 | |
|
|
722 | The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware |
|
|
723 | and tells it to convert perl error messages into vi-commands to load the |
|
|
724 | relevant file and go to the error line number. |
|
|
725 | |
|
|
726 | URxvt.scrollstyle: plain |
|
|
727 | URxvt.secondaryScroll: true |
|
|
728 | |
|
|
729 | As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the |
|
|
730 | author. The C<secondaryScroll> configures urxvt to scroll in full-screen |
|
|
731 | apps, like screen, so lines scrolled out of screen end up in urxvt's |
|
|
732 | scrollback buffer. |
|
|
733 | |
|
|
734 | URxvt.background: #000000 |
|
|
735 | URxvt.foreground: gray90 |

736 | URxvt.color7: gray90 |
|
|
737 | URxvt.colorBD: #ffffff |
|
|
738 | URxvt.cursorColor: #e0e080 |
|
|
739 | URxvt.throughColor: #8080f0 |
|
|
740 | URxvt.highlightColor: #f0f0f0 |
|
|
741 | |
|
|
742 | Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but |
|
|
743 | these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background |
|
|
744 | to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the |
|
|
745 | default foreground colour. |
|
|
746 | |
|
|
747 | URxvt.underlineColor: yellow |
|
|
748 | |
|
|
749 | Another colour, makes underline lines look different. Sometimes hurts, but |
|
|
750 | is mostly a nice effect. |
|
|
751 | |
|
|
752 | URxvt.geometry: 154x36 |
|
|
753 | URxvt.loginShell: false |
|
|
754 | URxvt.meta: ignore |
|
|
755 | URxvt.utmpInhibit: true |
|
|
756 | |
|
|
757 | Uh, well, should be mostly self-explanatory. By specifying some defaults |
|
|
758 | manually, I can quickly switch them for testing. |
|
|
759 | |
|
|
760 | URxvt.saveLines: 8192 |

|
|
762 | A large scrollback buffer is essential. Really. |
|
|
763 | |
|
|
764 | URxvt.mapAlert: true |
|
|
765 | |
|
|
766 | The only case I use it is for my IRC window, which I like to keep |
|
|
767 | iconified till people msg me (which beeps). |
|
|
768 | |
|
|
769 | URxvt.visualBell: true |
|

771 | The audible bell is often annoying, especially when in a crowd. |

|
773 | URxvt.insecure: true |

774 | |

775 | Please don't hack my mutt! Ooops... |
|
|
776 | |
|
|
777 | URxvt.pastableTabs: false |
|
|
778 | |
|
|
779 | I once thought this is a great idea. |
|
|
780 | |
|
|
781 | urxvt.font: 9x15bold,\ |
|
|
782 | -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1,\ |
|
|
783 | -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1, \ |
|
|
784 | [codeset=JISX0208]xft:Kochi Gothic, \ |
|
|
785 | xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:autohint=true, \ |
|
|
786 | xft:Code2000:antialias=false |
|
|
787 | urxvt.boldFont: -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--14-140-72-72-c-80-iso8859-15 |
|
|
788 | urxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
|
|
789 | urxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true |
|
|
790 | |
|
|
791 | I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be |
|
|
792 | overwhelmed. A special note: the C<9x15bold> mentioned above is actually |
|
|
793 | the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different |
|
|
794 | font (different glyphs for C<;> and many other harmless characters), |
|
|
795 | while the second font is actually the C<9x15bold> from XFree4/XOrg. The |
|
|
796 | bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare |
|
|
797 | characters, too. When editing sources with vim, I use italic for comments |
|
|
798 | and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased. |
|
|
799 | |
|
|
800 | Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my |
|
|
801 | purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold) |
|
|
802 | font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and |
|
|
803 | normal fonts. |
|
|
804 | |
|
|
805 | Please note that I used the C<urxvt> instance name and not the C<URxvt> |
|
|
806 | class name. That is because I use different configs for different purposes, |
|
|
807 | for example, my IRC window is started with C<-name IRC>, and uses these |
|
|
808 | defaults: |
|
|
809 | |
|
|
810 | IRC*title: IRC |
|
|
811 | IRC*geometry: 87x12+535+542 |
|
|
812 | IRC*saveLines: 0 |
|
|
813 | IRC*mapAlert: true |
|
|
814 | IRC*font: suxuseuro |
|
|
815 | IRC*boldFont: suxuseuro |
|
|
816 | IRC*colorBD: white |
|
|
817 | IRC*keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]710;suxuseuro\007\033]711;suxuseuro\007 |
|
|
818 | IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007 |
|
|
819 | |
|
|
820 | C<Alt-Ctrl-1> and C<Alt-Ctrl-2> switch between two different font |
|
|
821 | sizes. C<suxuseuro> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read) |
|
|
822 | stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something |
|
|
823 | complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font. |
|
|
824 | |
|
|
825 | The above is all in my C<.Xdefaults> (I don't use C<.Xresources> nor |
|
|
826 | C<xrdb>). I also have some resources in a separate C<.Xdefaults-hostname> |
|
|
827 | file for different hosts, for example, on my main desktop, I use: |
|
|
828 | |
|
|
829 | URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t |
|
|
830 | URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t |
|
|
831 | URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: command:\033[3;1605;5t |
|
|
832 | URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t |
|
|
833 | URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test |
|
|
834 | |
|
|
835 | The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows |
|
|
836 | in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop |
|
|
837 | immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the |
|
|
838 | same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key |
|
|
839 | combinations :-> |
|
|
840 | |
|
|
841 | =head3 Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources? |
|
|
842 | |
|
|
843 | Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X |
|
|
844 | applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads |
|
|
845 | resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will |
|
|
846 | ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read |
|
|
847 | F<$HOME/.Xdefaults> when no resources are attached to the display. |
|
|
848 | |
|
|
849 | If you have or use an F<$HOME/.Xresources> file, chances are that |
|
|
850 | resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to |
|
|
851 | re-login after every change (or run F<xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources>). |
|
|
852 | |
|
|
853 | Also consider the form resources have to use: |
|
|
854 | |
|
|
855 | URxvt.resource: value |
|
|
856 | |
|
|
857 | If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of |
|
|
858 | specifying resources), make sure you understand whether and why it |
|
|
859 | works. If unsure, use the form above. |
|
|
860 | |
|
|
861 | =head3 When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? |
|
|
862 | |
|
|
863 | The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
|
|
864 | as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises). |
|
|
865 | |
|
|
866 | The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can |
|
|
867 | be done by simply installing rxvt-unicode on the remote system as well |
|
|
868 | (in case you have a nice package manager ready), or you can install the |
|
|
869 | terminfo database manually like this (with ncurses infocmp. works as |
|
|
870 | user and root): |
|
|
871 | |
|
|
872 | REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
|
|
873 | infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "mkdir -p .terminfo && cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" |
|
|
874 | |
|
|
875 | One some systems you might need to set C<$TERMINFO> to the full path of |
|
|
876 | F<$HOME/.terminfo> for this to work. |
|
|
877 | |
|
|
878 | If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
|
|
879 | C<TERM=rxvt> or even C<TERM=xterm>, and live with the small number of |
|
|
880 | problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
|
|
881 | colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
|
|
882 | quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though. |
|
|
883 | |
|
|
884 | If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you |
|
|
885 | can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a |
|
|
886 | resource to set it: |
|
|
887 | |
|
|
888 | URxvt.termName: rxvt |
|
|
889 | |
|
|
890 | If you don't plan to use B<rxvt> (quite common...) you could also replace |
|
|
891 | the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one and use C<TERM=rxvt>. |
|
|
892 | |
|
|
893 | =head3 nano fails with "Error opening terminal: rxvt-unicode" |
|
|
894 | |
|
|
895 | This exceptionally confusing and useless error message is printed by nano |
|
|
896 | when it can't find the terminfo database. Nothing is wrong with your |
|
|
897 | terminal, read the previous answer for a solution. |
|
|
898 | |
|
|
899 | =head3 C<tic> outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry. |
|
|
900 | |
|
|
901 | Most likely it's the empty definition for C<enacs=>. Just replace it by |
|
|
902 | C<enacs=\E[0@> and try again. |
|
|
903 | |
|
|
904 | =head3 C<bash>'s readline does not work correctly under @@URXVT_NAME@@. |
|
|
905 | |
|
|
906 | See next entry. |
|
|
907 | |
|
|
908 | =head3 I need a termcap file entry. |
|
|
909 | |
|
|
910 | One reason you might want this is that some distributions or operating |
|
|
911 | systems still compile some programs using the long-obsoleted termcap |
|
|
912 | library (Fedora Core's bash is one example) and rely on a termcap entry |
|
|
913 | for C<rxvt-unicode>. |
|
|
914 | |
|
|
915 | You could use rxvt's termcap entry with reasonable results in many cases. |
|
|
916 | You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program |
|
|
917 | like this: |
|
|
918 | |
|
|
919 | infocmp -C rxvt-unicode |
|
|
920 | |
|
|
921 | Or you could use the termcap entry in doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.termcap, |
|
|
922 | generated by the command above. |
|
|
923 | |
|
|
924 | =head3 Why does C<ls> no longer have coloured output? |
|
|
925 | |
|
|
926 | The C<ls> in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to |
|
|
927 | decide whether a terminal has colour, but uses its own configuration |
|
|
928 | file. Needless to say, C<rxvt-unicode> is not in its default file (among |
|
|
929 | with most other terminals supporting colour). Either add: |
|
|
930 | |
|
|
931 | TERM rxvt-unicode |
|
|
932 | |
|
|
933 | to C</etc/DIR_COLORS> or simply add: |
|
|
934 | |
|
|
935 | alias ls='ls --color=auto' |
|
|
936 | |
|
|
937 | to your C<.profile> or C<.bashrc>. |
|
|
938 | |
|
|
939 | =head3 Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. use the 88 colour mode? |
|
|
940 | |
|
|
941 | See next entry. |
|
|
942 | |
|
|
943 | =head3 Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. make use of italic? |
|
|
944 | |
|
|
945 | See next entry. |
|
|
946 | |
|
|
947 | =head3 Why are the secondary screen-related options not working properly? |
|
|
948 | |
|
|
949 | Make sure you are using C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>. Some pre-packaged |
|
|
950 | distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode |
|
|
951 | by setting C<TERM> to C<rxvt>, which doesn't have these extra |
|
|
952 | features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian |
|
|
953 | GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
|
|
954 | file, so you will need to install it on your own (See the question B<When |
|
|
955 | I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?> on |
|
|
956 | how to do this). |

959 | =head2 Encoding / Locale / Input Method Issues |
|
|
960 | |
|
|
961 | =head3 Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding? |
|
|
962 | |
|
|
963 | See next entry. |
|
|
964 | |
|
|
965 | =head3 Unicode does not seem to work? |
|
|
966 | |
|
|
967 | If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but |
|
|
968 | getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is |
|
|
969 | subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings. |
|
|
970 | |
|
|
971 | Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same C<LC_CTYPE> setting as the |
|
|
972 | programs running in it. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the C<C> locale, |
|
|
973 | while the login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the |
|
|
974 | locale to something else, e.g. C<en_GB.UTF-8>. Needless to say, this is |
|
|
975 | not going to work, and is the most common cause for problems. |
|
|
976 | |
|
|
977 | The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run |
|
|
978 | into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile. |
|
|
979 | |
|
|
980 | printf '\33]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" # $LANG or $LC_ALL are worth a try, too |
|
|
981 | |
|
|
982 | If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a C<LC_CTYPE> specification not |
|
|
983 | supported on your systems. Some systems have a C<locale> command which |
|
|
984 | displays this (also, C<perl -e0> can be used to check locale settings, as |
|
|
985 | it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). If it displays something |
|
|
986 | like: |
|
|
987 | |
|
|
988 | locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
|
|
989 | |
|
|
990 | Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
|
|
991 | |
|
|
992 | If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then |
|
|
993 | you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't |
|
|
994 | support locales :( |

|
996 | =head3 How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |
|
|
997 | |
|
|
998 | See next entry. |
|
|
999 | |
|
|
1000 | =head3 Is there an option to switch encodings? |
|
|
1001 | |
|
|
1002 | Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
|
|
1003 | specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
|
|
1004 | UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O. |
|
|
1005 | |
|
|
1006 | The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
|
|
1007 | the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
|
|
1008 | applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width |
|
|
1009 | and code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>. Applications not using |
|
|
1010 | that info will have problems (for example, C<xterm> gets the width of |
|
|
1011 | characters wrong as it uses its own, locale-independent table under all |
|
|
1012 | locales). |
|
|
1013 | |
|
|
1014 | Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All |
|
|
1015 | programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
|
|
1016 | interpretation of characters. |
|
|
1017 | |
|
|
1018 | Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
|
|
1019 | is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
|
|
1020 | |
|
|
1021 | On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable |
|
|
1022 | contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
|
|
1023 | locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>, |
|
|
1024 | C<ja_JP.EUC-JP>, i.e. C<language_country.encoding>, but other forms |
|
|
1025 | (i.e. C<de> or C<german>) are also common. |
|
|
1026 | |
|
|
1027 | Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
|
|
1028 | the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
|
|
1029 | i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the normally same to |
|
|
1030 | rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
1031 | |
|
|
1032 | If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |
|
|
1033 | rxvt-unicode with the correct C<LC_CTYPE> category. |
|
|
1034 | |
|
|
1035 | =head3 Can I switch locales at runtime? |
|
|
1036 | |
|
|
1037 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |
|
|
1038 | rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>. |
|
|
1039 | |
|
|
1040 | printf '\33]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
|
|
1041 | |
|
|
1042 | See also the previous answer. |
|
|
1043 | |
|
|
1044 | Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in |
|
|
1045 | one locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support it |
|
|
1046 | (e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which |
|
|
1047 | first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
|
|
1048 | |
|
|
1049 | printf '\33]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
|
|
1050 | xjdic -js |
|
|
1051 | printf '\33]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8 |
|
|
1052 | |
|
|
1053 | You can also use xterm's C<luit> program, which usually works fine, except |
|
|
1054 | for some locales where character width differs between program- and |
|
|
1055 | rxvt-unicode-locales. |
|
|
1056 | |
|
|
1057 | =head3 I have problems getting my input method working. |
|
|
1058 | |
|
|
1059 | Try a search engine, as this is slightly different for every input method server. |
|
|
1060 | |
|
|
1061 | Here is a checklist: |
|
|
1062 | |
|
|
1063 | =over 4 |
|
|
1064 | |
|
|
1065 | =item - Make sure your locale I<and> the imLocale are supported on your OS. |
|
|
1066 | |
|
|
1067 | Try C<locale -a> or check the documentation for your OS. |
|
|
1068 | |
|
|
1069 | =item - Make sure your locale or imLocale matches a locale supported by your XIM. |
|
|
1070 | |
|
|
1071 | For example, B<kinput2> does not support UTF-8 locales, you should use |
|
|
1072 | C<ja_JP.EUC-JP> or equivalent. |
|
|
1073 | |
|
|
1074 | =item - Make sure your XIM server is actually running. |
|
|
1075 | |
|
|
1076 | =item - Make sure the C<XMODIFIERS> environment variable is set correctly when I<starting> rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
1077 | |
|
|
1078 | When you want to use e.g. B<kinput2>, it must be set to |
|
|
1079 | C<@im=kinput2>. For B<scim>, use C<@im=SCIM>. You can see what input |
|
|
1080 | method servers are running with this command: |
|
|
1081 | |
|
|
1082 | xprop -root XIM_SERVERS |
|
|
1083 | |
|
|
1084 | =item |
|
|
1085 | |
|
|
1086 | =back |
|
|
1087 | |
|
|
1088 | =head3 My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do? |
|
|
1089 | |
|
|
1090 | You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the |
|
|
1091 | terminal, using the resource C<imlocale>: |
|
|
1092 | |
|
|
1093 | URxvt.imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
|
|
1094 | |
|
|
1095 | Now you can start your terminal with C<LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8> and still |
|
|
1096 | use your input method. Please note, however, that, depending on your Xlib |
|
|
1097 | version, you may not be able to input characters outside C<EUC-JP> in a |
|
|
1098 | normal way then, as your input method limits you. |
|
|
1099 | |
|
|
1100 | =head3 Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits. |
|
|
1101 | |
|
|
1102 | Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
|
|
1103 | design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
|
|
1104 | leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at |
|
|
1105 | exit time. B<kinput2> (and derived input methods) generally succeeds, |
|
|
1106 | while B<SCIM> (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however, |
|
|
1107 | crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides cooperate. |
|
|
1108 | |
|
|
1109 | So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers. |
|
|
1110 | |

|
1112 | =head2 Operating Systems / Package Maintaining |
|
|
1113 | |
|
|
1114 | =head3 I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem... |
|
|
1115 | |
|
|
1116 | The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
|
|
1117 | patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but |
|
|
1118 | unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to |
|
|
1119 | the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine |
|
|
1120 | version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce |
|
|
1121 | the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to |
|
|
1122 | Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug |
|
|
1123 | Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug). |
|
|
1124 | |
|
|
1125 | For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
|
|
1126 | probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
|
|
1127 | bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that |
|
|
1128 | might encounter the same issue. |
|
|
1129 | |
|
|
1130 | =head3 I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation? |
|
|
1131 | |
|
|
1132 | You should build one binary with the default options. F<configure> |
|
|
1133 | now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
|
|
1134 | runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enabling them, |
|
|
1135 | except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should |
|
|
1136 | be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in |
|
|
1137 | the future) depends on it. |
|
|
1138 | |
|
|
1139 | You should not overwrite the C<perl-ext-common> and C<perl-ext> resources |
|
|
1140 | system-wide (except maybe with C<defaults>). This will result in useful |
|
|
1141 | behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty |
|
|
1142 | C<perl-ext-common> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the |
|
|
1143 | perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it. |
|
|
1144 | |
|
|
1145 | If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
|
|
1146 | one with C<--disable-everything> (very useful) and a maximal one with |
|
|
1147 | C<--enable-everything> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of |
|
|
1148 | encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used). |
|
|
1149 | |
|
|
1150 | =head3 I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe? |
|
|
1151 | |
|
|
1152 | It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly |
|
|
1153 | install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now. |
|
|
1154 | |
|
|
1155 | When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork |
|
|
1156 | into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some |
|
|
1157 | systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges |
|
|
1158 | immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep |
|
|
1159 | privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains |
|
|
1160 | things as perl interpreters, which might be "helpful" to attackers). |
|
|
1161 | |
|
|
1162 | This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early |
|
|
1163 | and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or |
|
|
1164 | things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very |
|
|
1165 | little risk. |
|
|
1166 | |
|
|
1167 | =head3 I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all. |
|
|
1168 | |
|
|
1169 | Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> to be defined |
|
|
1170 | in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it, |
|
|
1171 | whether it defines the symbol or not. C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> requires that |
|
|
1172 | B<wchar_t> is represented as unicode. |
|
|
1173 | |
|
|
1174 | As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symbol nor |
|
|
1175 | does it support it. Instead, it uses its own internal representation of |
|
|
1176 | B<wchar_t>. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards. |
|
|
1177 | |
|
|
1178 | However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in C<POSIX>, C<ISO-8859-1> and |
|
|
1179 | C<UTF-8> locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as B<wchar_t>). |
|
|
1180 | |
|
|
1181 | C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> is the only sane way to support multi-language |
|
|
1182 | apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized) |
|
|
1183 | representation of B<wchar_t> makes it impossible to convert between |
|
|
1184 | B<wchar_t> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any other encoding |
|
|
1185 | without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and every locale. There |
|
|
1186 | simply are no APIs to convert B<wchar_t> into anything except the current |
|
|
1187 | locale encoding. |
|
|
1188 | |
|
|
1189 | Some applications (such as the formidable B<mlterm>) work around this |
|
|
1190 | by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling |
|
|
1191 | with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple |
|
|
1192 | conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements |
|
|
1193 | encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator). |
|
|
1194 | |
|
|
1195 | The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the |
|
|
1196 | system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry |
|
|
1197 | complete replacements for them :) |
|
|
1198 | |
|
|
1199 | =head3 How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin? |
|
|
1200 | |
|
|
1201 | rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
|
|
1202 | the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
|
|
1203 | longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
|
|
1204 | single font). I recommend starting the X-server in C<-multiwindow> or |
|
|
1205 | C<-rootless> mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as the |
|
|
1206 | old libW11 emulation. |
|
|
1207 | |
|
|
1208 | At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte |
|
|
1209 | encodings (you might try C<LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8>), so you are likely limited |
|
|
1210 | to 8-bit encodings. |
|
|
1211 | |
|
|
1212 | =head3 Character widths are not correct. |
|
|
1213 | |
|
|
1214 | urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about |
|
|
1215 | the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you |
|
|
1216 | will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9, |
|
|
1217 | where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width, |
|
|
1218 | and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1. |
|
|
1219 | |
|
|
1220 | The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A |
|
|
1221 | possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like |
|
|
1222 | |

|

|
| 753 | =head2 Overview of menuBar operation |
|
|
| 754 | |
|
|
| 755 | For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence C<ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST>, the syntax |
|
|
| 756 | of C<Pt> can be used for a variety of tasks: |
|
|
| 757 | |
|
|
| 758 | At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular |
|
|
| 759 | linked-list of other such menuBars. |
|
|
| 760 | |
|
|
| 761 | The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in |
|
|
| 762 | turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus. |
|
|
| 763 | |
|
|
| 764 | The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard |
|
|
| 765 | input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt. |
|
|
| 766 | |
|
|
| 767 | The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of |
|
|
| 768 | constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the |
|
|
| 769 | menuBars. |
|
|
| 770 | |
|
|
| 771 | The first step is to use the tag B<< [menu:I<name>] >> which creates |
|
|
| 772 | the menuBar called I<name> and allows access. You may now or menus, |
|
|
| 773 | subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag B<[done]> to set the |
|
|
| 774 | menuBar access as B<readonly> to prevent accidental corruption of the |
|
|
| 775 | menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag |
|
|
| 776 | B<[menu]>, make the alterations and then use B<[done]> |

|
|
| 784 | =item B<< [menu:+I<name>] >> |
|
|
| 785 | |
|
|
| 786 | access the named menuBar for creation or alteration. If a new menuBar |
|
|
| 787 | is created, it is called I<name> (max of 15 chars) and the current |
|
|
| 788 | menuBar is pushed onto the stack |

| 794 | =item B<< [title:+I<string>] >> |

|

|
|
| 797 | following format specifiers: |
|
|
| 798 | B<%%> : literal B<%> character |
|
|
| 799 | B<%n> : rxvt name (as per the B<-name> command-line option) |

|
|
| 811 | [menu:+I<name> >> and continuing until B<[done]> is encountered. |
|
|
| 812 | |
|
|
| 813 | Blank and comment lines (starting with B<#>) are ignored. Actually, |
|
|
| 814 | since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost anything could |
|
|
| 815 | be construed as a comment line, but this may be tightened up in the |
|
|

|
|
2245 | |
|
|
2246 | General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
|
|
2247 | hasn't been tested well. Either try with C<--enable-everything> or use |
|
|
2248 | the default configuration (i.e. no C<--enable-xxx> or C<--disable-xxx> |
|
|
2249 | switches). Of course, you should always report when a combination doesn't |
|
|
2250 | work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. |

2255 | |
|
|
2256 | =item --enable-everything |
|
|
2257 | |
|
|
2258 | Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed |
|
|
2259 | in C<./configure --help>, except for C<--enable-assert> and |
|
|
2260 | C<--enable-256-color>. |
|
|
2261 | |
|
|
2262 | You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by |
|
|
2263 | I<following> this with the appropriate C<--disable-...> arguments, |
|
|
2264 | or you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying |
|
|
2265 | C<--disable-everything> and than adding just the C<--enable-...> arguments |
|
|
2266 | you want. |
|
|
2267 | |
|
|
2268 | =item --enable-xft (default: enabled) |
|
|
2269 | |
|
|
2270 | Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts are |
|
|
2271 | slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them, you |
|
|
2272 | don't pay for them. |
|
|
2273 | |
|
|
2274 | =item --enable-font-styles (default: on) |
|
|
2275 | |
|
|
2276 | Add support for B<bold>, I<italic> and B<< I<bold italic> >> font |
|
|
2277 | styles. The fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
|
|
2278 | |
|
|
2279 | =item --with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all) |
|
|
2280 | |
|
|
2281 | Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (C<eu>, C<vn> |
|
|
2282 | are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets). These |
|
|
2283 | codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, they are not required |
|
|
2284 | for Xft fonts, although having them compiled in lets rxvt-unicode choose |
|
|
2285 | replacement fonts more intelligently. Compiling them in will make your |
|
|
2286 | binary bigger (all of together cost about 700kB), but it doesn't increase |
|
|
2287 | memory usage unless you use a font requiring one of these encodings. |

|
2300 | =item --enable-xim (default: on) |
|
|
2301 | |
|
|
2302 | Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
|
|
2303 | alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly |
|
|
2304 | set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
|
|
2305 | |
|
|
2306 | =item --enable-unicode3 (default: off) |
|
|
2307 | |
|
|
2308 | Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters. |
|
|
2309 | |
|
|
2310 | Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above |
|
|
2311 | 65535 (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage |
|
|
2312 | requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet |
|
|
2313 | support these extra characters, but Xft does. |
|
|
2314 | |
|
|
2315 | Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
|
|
2316 | even without this flag, but the number of such characters is |
|
|
2317 | limited to a few thousand (shared with combining characters, |
|
|
2318 | see next switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
|
|
2319 | (input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
|
|
2320 | |
|
|
2321 | =item --enable-combining (default: on) |
|
|
2322 | |
|
|
2323 | Enable automatic composition of combining characters into |
|
|
2324 | composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text |
|
|
2325 | where accents are encoded as separate unicode characters. This is |
|
|
2326 | done by using precomposited characters when available or creating |
|
|
2327 | new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
|
|
2328 | |
|
|
2329 | Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
|
|
2330 | characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will be |
|
|
2331 | (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
|
|
2332 | |
|
|
2333 | This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
|
|
2334 | beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
|
|
2335 | |
|
|
2336 | The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation forms, |
|
|
2337 | but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to be used (and |
|
|
2338 | tell me how these are to be used...). |
|
|
2339 | |
|
|
2340 | =item --enable-fallback(=CLASS) (default: Rxvt) |
|
|
2341 | |
|
|
2342 | When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS. To |
|
|
2343 | disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback. |
|
|
2344 | |
|
|
2345 | =item --with-res-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
|
|
2346 | |
|
|
2347 | Use the given name as default application name when |
|
|
2348 | reading resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
|
|
2349 | |
|
|
2350 | =item --with-res-class=CLASS (default: URxvt) |
|
|
2351 | |
|
|
2352 | Use the given class as default application class |
|
|
2353 | when reading resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace |
|
|
2354 | rxvt. |
|
|
2355 | |
|
|
2356 | =item --enable-utmp (default: on) |
|
|
2357 | |
|
|
2358 | Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like F<w>) at |
|
|
2359 | start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits. |
|
|
2360 | |
|
|
2361 | =item --enable-wtmp (default: on) |
|
|
2362 | |
|
|
2363 | Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like F<last>) at |
|
|
2364 | start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |
|
|
2365 | option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
|
|
2366 | |
|
|
2367 | =item --enable-lastlog (default: on) |
|
|
2368 | |
|
|
2369 | Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like |
|
|
2370 | F<lastlogin>) at start of rxvt execution. This option requires |
|
|
2371 | --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
|
|
2372 | |
|
|
2373 | =item --enable-afterimage (default: on) |
|
|
2374 | |
|
|
2375 | Add support for libAfterImage to be used for transparency and background |
|
|
2376 | images. It adds support for many file formats including JPG, PNG, |
|
|
2377 | SVG, TIFF, GIF, XPM, BMP, ICO, XCF, TGA and AfterStep image XML |
|
|
2378 | (L<http://www.afterstep.org/visualdoc.php?show=asimagexml>). |
|
|
2379 | |
|
|
2380 | This option also adds such eye candy as blending an image over the root |
|
|
2381 | background, as well as dynamic scaling and bluring of background images. |
|
|
2382 | |
|
|
2383 | Note that with this option enabled, @@RXVT_NAME@@'s memory footprint might |
|
|
2384 | increase by a few megabytes even if no extra features are used (mostly due |
|
|
2385 | to third-party libraries used by libAI). Memory footprint may somewhat be |
|
|
2386 | lowered if libAfterImage is configured without support for SVG. |
|

|
2391 | |
|
|
2392 | =item --enable-fading (default: on) |

|
|
2395 | |
|
|
2396 | =item --enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on) |
|
|
2397 | |
|

2398 | Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar. |
|
|
2399 | |
|
|
2400 | =item --enable-next-scroll (default: on) |
|
|
2401 | |
|

|
|
2405 | |
|
|
2406 | Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar. |
|
|
2407 | |
|
|
2408 | =item --disable-backspace-key |
|
|
2409 | |
|
|
2410 | Removes any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server do it. |
|
|
2411 | |
|
|
2412 | =item --disable-delete-key |
|
|
2413 | |
|
|
2414 | Removes any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server |
|
|
2415 | do it. |
|

2417 | =item --disable-resources |
|
|
2418 | |
|
|
2419 | Removes any support for resource checking. |
|
|
2420 | |
|
|
2421 | =item --disable-swapscreen |
|
|
2422 | |
|
|
2423 | Remove support for secondary/swap screen. |
|
|
2424 | |
|
|
2425 | =item --enable-frills (default: on) |
|
|
2426 | |
|
|
2427 | Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice to |
|
|
2428 | have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may want to |
|
|
2429 | disable this. |
|
|
2430 | |
|
|
2431 | A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by C<--enable-frills> (possibly |
|
|
2432 | in combination with other switches) is: |
|
|
2433 | |
|
|
2434 | MWM-hints |
|
|
2435 | EWMH-hints (pid, utf8 names) and protocols (ping) |
|
|
2436 | urgency hint |
|
|
2437 | separate underline colour (-underlineColor) |
|
|
2438 | settable border widths and borderless switch (-w, -b, -bl) |
|
|
2439 | visual depth selection (-depth) |
|
|
2440 | settable extra linespacing (-lsp) |
|
|
2441 | iso-14755 5.1 (basic) support |
|
|
2442 | tripleclickwords (-tcw) |
|
|
2443 | settable insecure mode (-insecure) |
|
|
2444 | keysym remapping support |
|
|
2445 | cursor blinking and underline cursor (-bc, -uc) |
|
|

|
|
2449 | compile in built-in block graphics |
|
|
2450 | skip builtin block graphics (-sbg) |
|
|
2451 | separate highlight colour (-highlightColor, -highlightTextColor) |
|
|
2452 | |
|
|
2453 | It also enables some non-essential features otherwise disabled, such as: |
|
|
2454 | |
|
|
2455 | some round-trip time optimisations |
|
|
2456 | nearest colour allocation on pseudocolor screens |
|
|
2457 | UTF8_STRING support for selection |
|
|
2458 | sgr modes 90..97 and 100..107 |
|

|
|
2464 | trailing space removal for selections |
|
|
2465 | verbose X error handling |
|
|
2466 | |
|
|
2467 | =item --enable-iso14755 (default: on) |
|
|
2468 | |
|
|
2469 | Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(1)). |
|
|
2470 | Basic support (section 5.1) is enabled by C<--enable-frills>, while |
|
|
2471 | support for 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with this switch. |
|
|
2472 | |
|
|
2473 | =item --enable-keepscrolling (default: on) |
|
|
2474 | |
|
|
2475 | Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold |
|
|
2476 | the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow. |
|
|
2477 | |
|
|
2478 | =item --enable-selectionscrolling (default: on) |
|
|
2479 | |
|
|
2480 | Add support for scrolling when the selection moves to the top or |
|
|
2481 | bottom of the screen. |
|
|
2482 | |
|
|
2483 | =item --enable-mousewheel (default: on) |
|
|
2484 | |
|
|
2485 | Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5. |
|
|
2486 | |
|
|
2487 | =item --enable-slipwheeling (default: on) |
|
|
2488 | |
|
|
2489 | Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an |
|
|
2490 | accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
|
|
2491 | requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
|
|
2492 | |
|
|
2493 | =item --enable-smart-resize (default: off) |
|
|
2494 | |
|
|
2495 | Add smart growth/shrink behaviour when resizing. |
|
|
2496 | This should keep the window corner which is closest to a corner of |
|
|
2497 | the screen in a fixed position. |
|
|
2498 | |
|
|
2499 | =item --enable-text-blink (default: on) |
|
|
2500 | |
|
|
2501 | Add support for blinking text. |
|
|
2502 | |
|
|
2503 | =item --enable-pointer-blank (default: on) |
|
|
2504 | |
|
|
2505 | Add support to have the pointer disappear when typing or inactive. |
|
|
2506 | |
|
|
2507 | =item --enable-perl (default: on) |
|
|
2508 | |
|
|
2509 | Enable an embedded perl interpreter. See the B<@@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)> |
|
|
2510 | manpage for more info on this feature, or the files in F<src/perl/> |
|
|
2511 | for the extensions that are installed by default. |
|
|
2512 | The perl interpreter that is used can be specified via the C<PERL> |
|
|
2513 | environment variable when running configure. Even when compiled in, |
|
|
2514 | perl will I<not> be initialised when all extensions have been disabled |
|
|
2515 | C<-pe "" --perl-ext-common "">, so it should be safe to enable from a |
|
|
2516 | resource standpoint. |
|
|
2517 | |
|
|
2518 | =item --enable-assert (default: off) |
|
|
2519 | |
|
|
2520 | Enables the assertions in the code, normally disabled. This switch is only |
|
|
2521 | useful when developing rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
2522 | |
|
|
2523 | =item --enable-256-color (default: off) |
|
|
2524 | |
|
|
2525 | Force use of so-called 256 colour mode, to work around buggy applications |
|
|
2526 | that do not support termcap/terminfo, or simply improve support for |
|
|
2527 | applications hardcoding the xterm 256 colour table. |
|
|
2528 | |
|
|
2529 | This switch breaks termcap/terminfo compatibility to C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>, |
|
|
2530 | and consequently sets C<TERM> to C<rxvt-unicode-256color> by default |
|
|
2531 | (F<doc/etc/> contains termcap/terminfo definitions for both). |
|
|
2532 | |
|
|
2533 | It also results in higher memory usage and can slow down @@RXVT_NAME@@ |
|
|
2534 | dramatically when more than six fonts are in use by a terminal instance. |
|
|
2535 | |
|
|
2536 | =item --with-afterimage-config=DIR |
|
|
2537 | |
|
|
2538 | Look for the libAfterImage config script in DIR. |
|
|
2539 | |
|
|
2540 | =item --with-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
|
|
2541 | |
|
|
2542 | Set the basename for the installed binaries, resulting |
|
|
2543 | in C<urxvt>, C<urxvtd> etc.). Specify C<--with-name=rxvt> to replace with |
|
|
2544 | C<rxvt>. |
|
|
2545 | |
|
|
2546 | =item --with-term=NAME (default: rxvt-unicode) |
|
|
2547 | |
|
|
2548 | Change the environmental variable for the terminal to NAME. |
|
|
2549 | |
|
|
2550 | =item --with-terminfo=PATH |
|
|
2551 | |
|
|
2552 | Change the environmental variable for the path to the terminfo tree to |
|
|
2553 | PATH. |
|
|
2554 | |
|
|
2555 | =item --with-x |
|
|
2556 | |
|
|
2557 | Use the X Window System (pretty much default, eh?). |
