		45	For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on

		93
		94	If you want to start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically whenever you run
		95	@@URXVT_NAME@@c and the daemon isn't running yet, use this script:
		96
		97	#!/bin/sh
		98	@@URXVT_NAME@@c "$@"

		100	@@URXVT_NAME@@d -q -o -f
		101	@@URXVT_NAME@@c "$@"
		102	fi
		103
		104	This tries to create a new terminal, and if fails with exit status 2,
		105	meaning it couldn't connect to the daemon, it will start the daemon and
		106	re-run the command. Subsequent invocations of the script will re-use the

241
242	=head3 Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?
243
244	This is because there is a difference between script and language --
245	rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
246	as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
247	sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
248	display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
249	chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
250	non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
251	-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
252	chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.
253
254	The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
255	list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
256	a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
257	first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
258
259	In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
260	runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
261	fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
262	has been designed yet).
263
264	Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see L<Can
265	I switch the fonts at runtime?> later in this document).

		457	=head3 Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?
		458
		459	This is because there is a difference between script and language --
		460	rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is,
		461	as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first
		462	sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for
		463	display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many
		464	chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
		465	non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
		466	-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
		467	chinese characters that are also in the japanese font.
		468
		469	The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
		470	list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
		471	a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
		472	first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
		473
		474	In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at
		475	runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different
		476	fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this
		477	has been designed yet).
		478
		479	Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see L<Can
		480	I switch the fonts at runtime?> later in this document).

		488	=head3 Why is the cursor now blinking in emacs/vi/...?
		489
		490	This is likely caused by your editor/program's use of the C<cvvis>
		491	terminfo capability. Emacs uses it by default, as well as some versions of
		492	vi and possibly other programs.
		493
		494	In emacs, you can switch that off by adding this to your C<.emacs> file:

		496	(setq visible-cursor nil)
		497
		498	For other programs, if they do not have an option, your have to remove the
		499	C<cvvis> capability from the terminfo description.
		500
		501	When @@URXVT_NAME@@ first added the blinking cursor option, it didn't
		502	add a C<cvvis> capability, which served no purpose before. Version 9.21
		503	introduced C<cvvis> (and the ability to control blinking independent of
		504	cursor shape) for compatibility with other terminals, which traditionally
		505	use a blinking cursor for C<cvvis>. This also reflects the intent of
		506	programs such as emacs, who expect C<cvvis> to enable a blinking cursor.

		702	the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit
		703	type, which requires the C<xim-onthespot> perl extension but rewards me
		704	with correct-looking fonts.

		711	URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
		712
		713	This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library
		714	directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I
		715	develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I
		716	write.
		717
		718	The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware
		719	and tells it to convert perl error messages into vi-commands to load the
		720	relevant file and go to the error line number.
		721
		722	URxvt.scrollstyle: plain
		723	URxvt.secondaryScroll: true
		724
		725	As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the
		726	author. The C<secondaryScroll> configures urxvt to scroll in full-screen
		727	apps, like screen, so lines scrolled out of screen end up in urxvt's
		728	scrollback buffer.

		735	URxvt.throughColor: #8080f0
		736	URxvt.highlightColor: #f0f0f0
		737
		738	Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but
		739	these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background
		740	to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the
		741	default foreground colour.
		742
		743	URxvt.underlineColor: yellow
		744
		745	Another colour, makes underline lines look different. Sometimes hurts, but
		746	is mostly a nice effect.

		749	URxvt.loginShell: false
		750	URxvt.meta: ignore

		754	manually, I can quickly switch them for testing.
		755
		756	URxvt.saveLines: 8192

		758	A large scrollback buffer is essential. Really.
		759
		760	URxvt.mapAlert: true
		761
		762	The only case I use it is for my IRC window, which I like to keep
		763	iconified till people msg me (which beeps).
		764
		765	URxvt.visualBell: true

		785	urxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true
		786
		787	I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be
		788	overwhelmed. A special note: the C<9x15bold> mentioned above is actually
		789	the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different
		790	font (different glyphs for C<;> and many other harmless characters),
		791	while the second font is actually the C<9x15bold> from XFree4/XOrg. The
		792	bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare
		793	characters, too. When editing sources with vim, I use italic for comments
		794	and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased.
		795
		796	Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my
		797	purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold)
		798	font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and
		799	normal fonts.
		800
		801	Please note that I used the C<urxvt> instance name and not the C<URxvt>
		802	class name. That is because I use different configs for different purposes,
		803	for example, my IRC window is started with C<-name IRC>, and uses these
		804	defaults:
		805
		806	IRC*title: IRC
		807	IRC*geometry: 87x12+535+542
		808	IRC*saveLines: 0
		809	IRC*mapAlert: true

		812	IRC*colorBD: white
		813	IRC*keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]710;suxuseuro\007\033]711;suxuseuro\007
		814	IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007
		815
		816	C<Alt-Ctrl-1> and C<Alt-Ctrl-2> switch between two different font
		817	sizes. C<suxuseuro> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read)
		818	stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something
		819	complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.
		820
		821	The above is all in my C<.Xdefaults> (I don't use C<.Xresources> nor
		822	C<xrdb>). I also have some resources in a separate C<.Xdefaults-hostname>
		823	file for different hosts, for example, on my main desktop, I use:
		824
		825	URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t
		826	URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t

		828	URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t
		829	URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test
		830
		831	The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows
		832	in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop
		833	immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the
		834	same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key

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

908	For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
909	probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a

		1995	Changes all mouse reporting codes to use decimal parameters instead of
		1996	octets or characters.
		1997
		1998	This mode should be enabled I<before> actually enabling mouse reporting,
		1999	for semi-obvious reasons.
		2000
		2001	The sequences received for various modes are as follows:
		2002
		2003	ESC [ M o o o !1005, !1015 (three octets)
		2004	ESC [ M c c c 1005, !1015 (three characters)
		2005	ESC [ Pm M 1015 (three or more numeric parameters)
		2006
		2007	The first three parameters are C<code>, C<x> and C<y>. Code is the numeric
		2008	code as for the other modes (but encoded as a decimal number, including
		2009	the additional offset of 32, so you have to subtract 32 first), C<x> and
		2010	C<y> are the coordinates (1|1 is the upper left corner, just as with
		2011	cursor positioning).
		2012
		2013	Example: Shift-Button-1 press at top row, column 80.
		2014
		2015	ESC [ 37 ; 80 ; 1 M
		2016
		2017	One can use this feature by simply enabling it and then looking for
		2018	parameters to the C<ESC [ M> reply - if there are any, this mode is
		2019	active, otherwise one of the old reporting styles is used.
		2020
		2021	Other (to be implemented) reply sequences will use a similar encoding.
		2022
		2023	In the future, more parameters might get added (pixel coordinates for
		2024	example - anybody out there who needs this?).
