=item How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using? |
10 |
|
11 |
The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape |
12 |
sequence C<ESC[8n> sets the window title to the version number. |
13 |
|
14 |
=item When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? |
15 |
|
16 |
The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
17 |
as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises). |
18 |
|
19 |
The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can |
20 |
be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp): |
21 |
|
22 |
REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
23 |
infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" |
24 |
|
25 |
... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system, |
26 |
|
27 |
If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
28 |
C<TERM=rxvt> or even C<TERM=xterm>, and live with the small number of |
29 |
problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
30 |
colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
31 |
quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though. |
32 |
|
33 |
If you always want to do this you can either recompile rxvt-unicode with |
34 |
the desired TERM value or use a resource to set it: |
35 |
|
36 |
URxvt.termName: rxvt |
37 |
|
38 |
If you don't plan to use B<rxvt> (quite common...) you could also replace |
39 |
the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one. |
40 |
|
41 |
=item I need a termcap file entry. |
42 |
|
43 |
You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many cases. |
44 |
You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program |
45 |
like this: |
46 |
|
47 |
infocmp -C rxvt-unicode |
48 |
|
49 |
OR you could this termcap entry: |

=item Why does C<ls> no longer have coloured output? |
72 |
|
73 |
The C<ls> in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to |
74 |
decide wether a terminal has colour, but uses it's own configuration |
75 |
file. Needless to say, C<rxvt-unicode> is not in it's default file (among |
76 |
with most other terminals supporting colour). Either add: |
77 |
|
78 |
TERM rxvt-unicode |
79 |
|
80 |
to C</etc/DIR_COLORS> or simply add: |
81 |
|
82 |
alias ls='ls --color=auto' |
83 |
|
84 |
to your C<.profile> or C<.bashrc>. |
85 |
|
86 |
=item Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. use the 88 colour mode? |
87 |
|
88 |
=item Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. make use of italic? |
89 |
|
90 |
=item Why are the secondary screen-related options not working properly? |
91 |
|
92 |
Make sure you are using C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>. Some pre-packaged |
93 |
distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode |
94 |
by setting C<TERM> to C<rxvt>, which doesn't have these extra |
95 |
features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian |
96 |
GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
97 |
file, so you will need to install it on your own (See the question B<When |
98 |
I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?> on |
99 |
how to do this). |
100 |
|
101 |
=item Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding? |
102 |
|
103 |
=item Unicode does not seem to work? |
104 |
|
105 |
If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but |
106 |
getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is |
107 |
subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings. |
108 |
|
109 |
Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same C<LC_CTYPE> setting as the |
110 |
programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the C<C> locale, while the |
111 |
login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to |
112 |
sth. else, e.h. C<en_GB.UTF-8>. Needless to say, this is not going to work. |
113 |
|
114 |
The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run |
115 |
into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile. |
116 |
|
117 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" |
118 |
|
119 |
If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a C<LC_CTYPE> specification not |
120 |
supported on your systems. Some systems have a C<locale> command which |
121 |
displays this. If it displays sth. like: |
122 |
|
123 |
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
124 |
|
125 |
Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
126 |
|
127 |
If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then |
128 |
you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't |
129 |
support locales :( |
130 |
|
131 |
=item Why do some characters look so much different than others? |
132 |
|
133 |
=item How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts? |
134 |
|
135 |
Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is |
136 |
fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
137 |
your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want |
138 |
to display. |
139 |
|
140 |
B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |
141 |
font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
142 |
bad. Many fonts have totally strange characters that don't resemble the |
143 |
correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial intelligence |
144 |
to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe the font that |
145 |
the characters it contains indeed look correct. |
146 |
|
147 |
In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
148 |
e.g.: |
149 |
|
150 |
@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
151 |
|
152 |
When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
153 |
font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the |
154 |
next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
155 |
search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server. |
156 |
|
157 |
The only limitation is that all the fonts must not be larger than the base |
158 |
font, as the base font defines the principal cell size, which must be the |
159 |
same due to the way terminals work. |
160 |
|
161 |
=item Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
162 |
|
163 |
This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
164 |
rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output |
165 |
is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode |
166 |
first sees a japanese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
167 |
it. Subsequent japanese characters will take that font. Now, many chinese |
168 |
characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
169 |
non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
170 |
-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
171 |
japanese characters that are also chinese. |
172 |
|
173 |
The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
174 |
list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
175 |
a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
176 |
first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first. |
177 |
|
178 |
In the future it might be possible to switch preferences at runtime (the |
179 |
internal data structure has no problem with using different fonts for |
180 |
the same character at the same time, but no interface for this has been |
181 |
designed yet). |
182 |
|
183 |
=item Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings? |
184 |
|
185 |
Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character |
186 |
size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might |
187 |
contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid |
188 |
these characters. For characters that are just "a bit" too wide a special |
189 |
"careful" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters. |
190 |
|
191 |
All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
192 |
however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding |
193 |
box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to |
194 |
ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these |
195 |
cases). |
196 |
|
197 |
It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, |
198 |
or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using |
199 |
the C<-lsp> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you |
200 |
might be forced to use a different font. |
201 |
|
202 |
All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding |
203 |
box data is correct. |
204 |
|
205 |
=item My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working. |
206 |
|
207 |
The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set |
208 |
correctly, or you specified a B<preeditStyle> that is not supported by |
209 |
your input method. For example, if you specified B<OverTheSpot> and |
210 |
your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) |
211 |
does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then |
212 |
rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method. |
213 |
|
214 |
In this case either do not specify a B<preeditStyle> or specify more than |
215 |
one pre-edit style, such as B<OverTheSpot,Root,None>. |
216 |
|
217 |
=item I cannot type C<Ctrl-Shift-2> to get an ASCII NUL character due to ISO 14755 |
218 |
|
219 |
Either try C<Ctrl-2> alone (it often is mapped to ASCII NUL even on |
220 |
international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your |
221 |
advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for other |
222 |
codes, too, such as C<Ctrl-Shift-1-d> to type the default telnet escape |
223 |
character and so on. |
224 |
|
225 |
=item How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much? |
226 |
|
227 |
First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminfo |
228 |
(C<urxvt>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then make sure |
229 |
you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise rxvt-unicode |
230 |
might use reverse video to simulate the effect: |
231 |
|
232 |
URxvt*colorBD: white |
233 |
URxvt*colorIT: green |
234 |
|
235 |
=item Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that? |
236 |
|
237 |
For some unexplainable reason, some programs (i.e. irssi) assume a very |
238 |
weird colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the |
239 |
standard 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of |
240 |
course, to fix these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very |
241 |
good reasons. |
242 |
|
243 |
In the meantime, you can either edit your C<urxvt> terminfo definition to |
244 |
only claim 8 colour support or use C<TERM=rxvt>, which will fix colours |
245 |
but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features. |
246 |
|
247 |
=item I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all. |
248 |
|
249 |
Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> to be defined |
250 |
in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it, |
251 |
wether it defines the symbol or not. C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> requires that |
252 |
B<wchar_t> is represented as unicode. |
253 |
|
254 |
As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor |
255 |
does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of |
256 |
B<wchar_t>. This is, of course, completely legal. |
257 |
|
258 |
However, C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> is the only sane way to support |
259 |
multi-language apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and |
260 |
non-standardized) representation of B<wchar_t> makes it impossible to |
261 |
convert between B<wchar_t> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any |
262 |
other encoding without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and |
263 |
every locale. There simply are no APIs to convert B<wchar_t> into anything |
264 |
except the current locale encoding. |
265 |
|
266 |
Some applications (such as the formidable B<mlterm>) work around this |
267 |
by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling |
268 |
with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple |
269 |
conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements |
270 |
encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator). |
271 |
|
272 |
The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the |
273 |
system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry |
274 |
complete replacements. |
275 |
|
276 |
=item How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |
277 |
|
278 |
=item Is there an option to switch encodings? |
279 |
|
280 |
Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
281 |
specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
282 |
UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O. |
283 |
|
284 |
The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
285 |
the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
286 |
applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width and |
287 |
code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>. |
288 |
|
289 |
Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All |
290 |
programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
291 |
interpretation of characters. |
292 |
|
293 |
Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
294 |
is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
295 |
|
296 |
On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable |
297 |
contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
298 |
locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>, |
299 |
C<ja_JP.EUC-JP>, i.e. C<language_country.encoding>, but other forms |
300 |
(i.e. C<de> or C<german>) are also common. |
301 |
|
302 |
Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
303 |
the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
304 |
i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the same for rxvt-unicode. |
305 |
|
306 |
If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |
307 |
rxvt-unicode with the correct C<LC_CTYPE> category. |
308 |
|
309 |
=item Can I switch locales at runtime? |
310 |
|
311 |
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which sets |
312 |
rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>. |
313 |
|
314 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
315 |
|
316 |
See also the previous question. |
317 |
|
318 |
Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in one |
319 |
locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support UTF-8. For |
320 |
example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which first switches to a |
321 |
locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
322 |
|
323 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
324 |
xjdic -js |
325 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8 |
326 |
|
327 |
=item Can I switch the fonts at runtime? |
328 |
|
329 |
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which has the same |
330 |
effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately: |
331 |
|
332 |
printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
333 |
|
334 |
This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
335 |
japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
336 |
japanese fonts would only be in your way. |
337 |
|
338 |
You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching. |
339 |
|
340 |
=item Why do italic characters look as if clipped? |
341 |
|
342 |
Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
343 |
example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font C<xft:Bitstream Vera Sans |
344 |
Mono> completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround is to enable |
345 |
freetype autohinting, i.e. like this: |
346 |
|
347 |
URxvt*italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
348 |
URxvt*boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true |
349 |
|
350 |
=item My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do? |
351 |
|
352 |
You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the |
353 |
terminal, using the resource C<imlocale>: |
354 |
|
355 |
URxvt*imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
356 |
|
357 |
Now you can start your terminal with C<LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8> and still |
358 |
use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able to |
359 |
input characters outside C<EUC-JP> in a normal way then, as your input |
360 |
method limits you. |
361 |
|
362 |
=item Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that? |
363 |
|
364 |
Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for sth. you |
365 |
don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that |
366 |
you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design, |
367 |
when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded |
368 |
accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters. |
369 |
|
370 |
Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger |
371 |
scrollback buffers: Without C<--enable-unicode3>, rxvt-unicode will use |
372 |
6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a |
373 |
kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full) |
374 |
use 10 Megabytes of memory. With C<--enable-unicode3> it gets worse, as |
375 |
rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell. |
376 |
|
377 |
=item Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow? |
378 |
|
379 |
Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as |
380 |
it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable |
381 |
antialiasing (by appending C<:antialiasing=false>), which saves lots of |
382 |
memory and also speeds up rendering considerably. |
383 |
|
384 |
=item Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong? |
385 |
|
386 |
Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
387 |
fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
388 |
fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has |
389 |
antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they |
390 |
look best that way. |
391 |
|
392 |
If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually. |

=item Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works. |
395 |
|
396 |
Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing |
397 |
some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. I've |
398 |
heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise specified. A |
399 |
quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are |
400 |
depressed. See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) |
401 |
|
402 |
=item What's with this bold/blink stuff? |
403 |
|
404 |
If no bold colour is set via C<colorBD:>, bold will invert text using the |
405 |
standard foreground colour. |
406 |
|
407 |
For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the |
408 |
text blink when compiled with C<--enable-blinking>. with standard |
409 |
colours. Without C<--enable-blinking>, the blink attribute will be |
410 |
ignored. |
411 |
|
412 |
On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity |
413 |
foreground/background colors. |
414 |
|
415 |
color0-7 are the low-intensity colors. |
416 |
|
417 |
color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors. |
418 |
|
419 |
=item I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them? |
420 |
|
421 |
You can change the screen colors at run-time using F<~/.Xdefaults> |
422 |
resources (or as long-options). |
423 |
|
424 |
Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen, |
425 |
including the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow: |
426 |
|
427 |
URxvt*color0: #000000 |

=item What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour? |
468 |
|
469 |
Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
470 |
BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
471 |
question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
472 |
Backspace: C<^H> and C<^?>. |
473 |
|
474 |
Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian |
475 |
policy of using C<^?> when unsure, because it's the one only only correct |
476 |
choice :). |
477 |
|
478 |
Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value |
479 |
of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode wasn't |
480 |
started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the |
481 |
system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in <termios.h>, will |
482 |
be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting). |
483 |
|
484 |
For starting a new rxvt-unicode: |
485 |
|
486 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
487 |
$ stty erase ^H |
488 |
$ @@RXVT_NAME@@ |
489 |
|
490 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
491 |
$ stty erase ^? |
492 |
$ @@RXVT_NAME@@ |
493 |
|
494 |
Toggle with "ESC[36h" / "ESC[36l" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7). |
495 |
|
496 |
For an existing rxvt-unicode: |
497 |
|
498 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
499 |
$ stty erase ^H |
500 |
$ echo -n "^[[36h" |
501 |
|
502 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
503 |
$ stty erase ^? |
504 |
$ echo -n "^[[36l" |
505 |
|
506 |
This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |
507 |
if you use Backspace = C<^H>, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |
508 |
properly reflects that. |
509 |
|
510 |
The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem. |
511 |
To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete |
512 |
key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute |
513 |
(ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo. |
514 |
|
515 |
Some other Backspace problems: |
516 |
|
517 |
some editors use termcap/terminfo, |
518 |
some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H, |
519 |
GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help. |
520 |
|
521 |
Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner. |
522 |
|
523 |
=item I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them? |
524 |
|
525 |
There are some compile-time selections available via configure. Unless |
526 |
you have run "configure" with the C<--disable-resources> option you can |
527 |
use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings associated with keysyms. |
528 |
|

=item I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys. |
553 |
How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4 |
554 |
has the following mappings that rxvt-unicode doesn't recognize. |
555 |
|
556 |
KP_Insert == Insert |
557 |
F22 == Print |
558 |
F27 == Home |
559 |
F29 == Prior |
560 |
F33 == End |
561 |
F35 == Next |
562 |
|
563 |
Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accommodate all the various possible keyboard |
564 |
mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the keys as required for |
565 |
your particular machine. |
566 |
|
567 |
=item How do I distinguish if I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? |
568 |
I need this to decide about setting colors etc. |
569 |
|
570 |
rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you can |
571 |
check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, slrn, |
572 |
Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide whether or |
573 |
not to use color. |
574 |
|
575 |
=item How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable? |
576 |
|
577 |
If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled |
578 |
insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
579 |
snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
580 |
wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then |
581 |
the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a |
582 |
regular xterm. |

B<< The exact syntax used is I<almost> solidified. >> |
1400 |
In the menus, B<DON'T> try to use menuBar commands that add or remove a |
1401 |
menuBar. |
1402 |
|
1403 |
Note that in all of the commands, the B<< I</path/> >> I<cannot> be |
1404 |
omitted: use B<./> to specify a menu relative to the current menu. |
1405 |
|
1406 |
=head2 Overview of menuBar operation |
1407 |
|
1408 |
For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence C<ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST>, the syntax |
1409 |
of C<Pt> can be used for a variety of tasks: |
1410 |
|
1411 |
At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular |
1412 |
linked-list of other such menuBars. |
1413 |
|
1414 |
The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in |
1415 |
turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus. |
1416 |
|
1417 |
The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard |
1418 |
input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt. |
1419 |
|
1420 |
The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of |
1421 |
constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the |
1422 |
menuBars. |
1423 |
|
1424 |
The first step is to use the tag B<< [menu:I<name>] >> which creates |
1425 |
the menuBar called I<name> and allows access. You may now or menus, |
1426 |
subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag B<[done]> to set the |
1427 |
menuBar access as B<readonly> to prevent accidental corruption of the |
1428 |
menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag |
1429 |
B<[menu]>, make the alterations and then use B<[done]> |
1430 |
|
1431 |

=item B<< [menu:+I<name>] >> |
1438 |
|
1439 |
access the named menuBar for creation or alteration. If a new menuBar |
1440 |
is created, it is called I<name> (max of 15 chars) and the current |
1441 |
menuBar is pushed onto the stack |
1442 |
|
1443 |
=item B<[menu]> |

1446 |
|
1447 |
=item B<< [title:+I<string>] >> |
1448 |
|
1449 |
set the current menuBar's title to I<string>, which may contain the |
1450 |
following format specifiers: |
1451 |
B<%%> : literal B<%> character |
1452 |
B<%n> : rxvt name (as per the B<-name> command-line option) |

B<%v> : rxvt version |
1454 |

1464 |

1465 |
|
1466 |
Blank and comment lines (starting with B<#>) are ignored. Actually, |
1467 |
since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost anything could |
1468 |
be construed as a comment line, but this may be tightened up in the |
1469 |
future ... so don't count on it!. |

=head1 CONFIGURE OPTIONS |
2053 |
|
2054 |
General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
2055 |
hasn't been tested well. Either try with --enable-everything or use the |
2056 |
./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself, |
2057 |
so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always |
2058 |
report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann |

|
2061 |
=over 4 |
2062 |
|
2063 |
=item --enable-everything |
2064 |
|
2065 |
Add support for all non-multichoice options listed in "./configure |
2066 |
--help". Note that unlike other enable options this is order dependant. |
2067 |
You can specify this and then disable options which this enables by |
2068 |
I<following> this with the appropriate commands. |
2069 |
|
2070 |
=item --enable-xft |
2071 |
|
2072 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts are |
2073 |
slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them, you |
2074 |
don't pay for them. |
2075 |
|
2076 |
=item --enable-font-styles |
2077 |
|
2078 |
Add support for B<bold>, I<italic> and B<< I<bold italic> >> font |
2079 |
styles. The fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
2080 |
|
2081 |
=item --with-codesets=NAME,... |
2082 |
|
2083 |
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (eu, vn are |
2084 |
always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character sets). These |
2085 |
codeset tables are currently only used for driving X11 core fonts, they |
2086 |
are not required for Xft fonts. Compiling them in will make your binary |
2087 |
bigger (together about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless |
2088 |
you use an X11 font requiring one of these encodings. |

=item --enable-xim |
2102 |
|
2103 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
2104 |
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly |
2105 |
set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
2106 |
|
2107 |
=item --enable-unicode3 |
2108 |
|
2109 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above |
2110 |
65535 (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage |
2111 |
requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet |
2112 |
support these extra characters, but Xft does. |
2113 |
|
2114 |
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
2115 |
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is |
2116 |
limited to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, |
2117 |
see next switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
2118 |
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
2119 |
|
2120 |
=item --enable-combining |
2121 |
|
2122 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into |
2123 |
composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text |
2124 |
where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is |
2125 |
done by using precomposited characters when available or creating |
2126 |
new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
2127 |
|
2128 |
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
2129 |
characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the |
2130 |
private use area, extending the number of combinations to 8448). With |
2131 |
--enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This will also enable |
2132 |
storage of characters >65535. |
2133 |
|
2134 |
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation forms, |
2135 |
but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to be used. |
2136 |
|
2137 |
=item --enable-fallback(=CLASS) |
2138 |
|
2139 |

2140 |
(default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback. |
2141 |
|
2142 |
=item --with-res-name=NAME |
2143 |
|
2144 |
Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when |
2145 |

2146 |
|
2147 |

2151 |

2152 |

2157 |

2158 |

2160 |
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like F<last>) at |

2162 |
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |

2165 |
|
2166 |
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like |

--enable-utmp to also be specified. |

2210 |
=item --enable-half-shadow |

Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other |
2243 |
various routines, overriding your system's versions which may |
2244 |
have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries |

2273 |
|
2274 |
Enable extended ISO 14755 support (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(1), or |
2275 |
F<doc/rxvt.1.txt>). Basic support (section 5.1) is enabled by |

accelerator) while the control key is held down. This option |
2292 |
requires --enable-mousewheel to also be specified. |
2293 |
|
2294 |
=item --disable-new-selection |
2295 |
|
2296 |
Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm. |

2299 |
|
2300 |
Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See |
2301 |
http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this or the |
2302 |
next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after compiling to point |
2303 |
DINCLUDE and DLIB to the right places. |
2304 |
|
2305 |
You can only use either this option and the following (should |
2306 |
you use either) . |
2307 |
|
2308 |
=item --enable-dlmalloc |
2309 |
