		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.

79		94
		95	If you want to start @@URXVT_NAME@@d automatically whenever you run
		96	@@URXVT_NAME@@c and the daemon isn't running yet, use this script:
		97
		98	#!/bin/sh

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

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).

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

		669	author's .Xdefaults entries, with comments on what they do. It's certainly
		670	not I<typical>, but what's typical...
		671
		672	URxvt.cutchars: "()*,<>[]{}|'
		673	URxvt.print-pipe: cat >/tmp/xxx
		674
		675	These are just for testing stuff.
		676
		677	URxvt.imLocale: ja_JP.UTF-8
		678	URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None
		679
		680	This tells rxvt-unicode to use a special locale when communicating with
		681	the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit
		682	type, which requires the C<xim-onthespot> perl extension but rewards me
		683	with correct-looking fonts.
		684
		685	URxvt.perl-lib: /root/lib/urxvt
		686	URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform,selection-pastebin,xim-onthespot,remote-clipboard
		687	URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+)
		688	URxvt.selection.pattern-1: ^(/[^:]+):\
		689	URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
		690	URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
		691
		692	This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library
		693	directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I
		694	develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I
		695	write.
		696
		697	The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware
		698	and tells it to convert perl error messages into vi-commands to load the
		699	relevant file and go to the error line number.
		700
		701	URxvt.scrollstyle: plain
		702	URxvt.secondaryScroll: true
		703
		704	As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the
		705	author. The C<secondaryScroll> configures urxvt to scroll in full-screen
		706	apps, like screen, so lines scrolled out of screen end up in urxvt's
		707	scrollback buffer.
		708
		709	URxvt.background: #000000
		710	URxvt.foreground: gray90
		711	URxvt.color7: gray90
		712	URxvt.colorBD: #ffffff
		713	URxvt.cursorColor: #e0e080
		714	URxvt.throughColor: #8080f0
		715	URxvt.highlightColor: #f0f0f0
		716
		717	Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but
		718	these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background
		719	to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the
		720	default foreground colour.
		721
		722	URxvt.underlineColor: yellow
		723
		724	Another colour, makes underline lines look different. Sometimes hurts, but
		725	is mostly a nice effect.
		726
		727	URxvt.geometry: 154x36
		728	URxvt.loginShell: false
		729	URxvt.meta: ignore
		730	URxvt.utmpInhibit: true
		731
		732	Uh, well, should be mostly self-explanatory. By specifying some defaults
		733	manually, I can quickly switch them for testing.
		734
		735	URxvt.saveLines: 8192
		736
		737	A large scrollback buffer is essential. Really.
		738
		739	URxvt.mapAlert: true
		740
		741	The only case I use it is for my IRC window, which I like to keep
		742	iconified till people msg me (which beeps).
		743
		744	URxvt.visualBell: true
		745
		746	The audible bell is often annoying, especially when in a crowd.
		747
		748	URxvt.insecure: true
		749
		750	Please don't hack my mutt! Ooops...
		751
		752	URxvt.pastableTabs: false
		753
		754	I once thought this is a great idea.
		755
		756	urxvt.font: 9x15bold,\
		757	-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1,\
		758	-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1, \
		759	[codeset=JISX0208]xft:Kochi Gothic, \
		760	xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:autohint=true, \
		761	xft:Code2000:antialias=false
		762	urxvt.boldFont: -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--14-140-72-72-c-80-iso8859-15
		763	urxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true
		764	urxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true
		765
		766	I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be
		767	overwhelmed. A special note: the C<9x15bold> mentioned above is actually
		768	the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different
		769	font (different glyphs for C<;> and many other harmless characters),
		770	while the second font is actually the C<9x15bold> from XFree4/XOrg. The
		771	bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare
		772	characters, too. When editing sources with vim, I use italic for comments
		773	and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased.
		774
		775	Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my
		776	purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold)
		777	font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and
		778	normal fonts.
		779
		780	Please note that I used the C<urxvt> instance name and not the C<URxvt>
		781	class name. That is because I use different configs for different purposes,
		782	for example, my IRC window is started with C<-name IRC>, and uses these
		783	defaults:
		784
		785	IRC*title: IRC
		786	IRC*geometry: 87x12+535+542
		787	IRC*saveLines: 0
		788	IRC*mapAlert: true
		789	IRC*font: suxuseuro
		790	IRC*boldFont: suxuseuro
		791	IRC*colorBD: white
		792	IRC*keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]710;suxuseuro\007\033]711;suxuseuro\007
		793	IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007
		794
		795	C<Alt-Ctrl-1> and C<Alt-Ctrl-2> switch between two different font
		796	sizes. C<suxuseuro> allows me to keep an eye (and actually read)
		797	stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something
		798	complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.
		799
		800	The above is all in my C<.Xdefaults> (I don't use C<.Xresources> nor
		801	C<xrdb>). I also have some resources in a separate C<.Xdefaults-hostname>
		802	file for different hosts, for example, on my main desktop, I use:
		803
		804	URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t
		805	URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t
		806	URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: command:\033[3;1605;5t
		807	URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t
		808	URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test
		809
		810	The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows
		811	in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop
		812	immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the
		813	same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key
		814	combinations :->

		1961	Changes all mouse reporting codes to use decimal parameters instead of
		1962	octets or characters.
		1963
		1964	This mode should be enabled I<before> actually enabling mouse reporting,
		1965	for semi-obvious reasons.
		1966
		1967	The sequences received for various modes are as follows:
		1968
		1969	ESC [ M o o o !1005, !1015 (three octets)
		1970	ESC [ M c c c 1005, !1015 (three characters)
		1971	ESC [ Pm M 1015 (three or more numeric parameters)
		1972
		1973	The first three parameters are C<code>, C<x> and C<y>. Code is the numeric
		1974	code as for the other modes (but encoded as a decimal number, including
		1975	the additional offset of 32, so you have to subtract 32 first), C<x> and
		1976	C<y> are the coordinates (1|1 is the upper left corner, just as with
		1977	cursor positioning).
		1978
		1979	Example: Shift-Button-1 press at top row, column 80.
		1980
		1981	ESC [ 37 ; 80 ; 1 M
		1982
		1983	One can use this feature by simply enabling it and then looking for
		1984	parameters to the C<ESC [ M> reply - if there are any, this mode is
		1985	active, otherwise one of the old reporting styles is used.
		1986
		1987	Other (to be implemented) reply sequences will use a similar encoding.
		1988
		1989	In the future, more parameters might get added (pixel coordinates for
		1990	example - anybody out there who needs this?).
