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. |

1190 | =head3 Character widths are not correct. |
|
|
1191 | |
|
|
1192 | urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about |
|
|
1193 | the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you |
|
|
1194 | will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9, |
|
|
1195 | where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width, |
|
|
1196 | and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1. |
|
|
1197 | |
|
|
1198 | The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A |
|
|
1199 | possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like |

|

1946 | |
|
|
1947 | Changes all mouse reporting codes to use decimal parameters instead of |
|
|
1948 | octets or characters. |
|
|
1949 | |
|
|
1950 | This mode should be enabled I<before> actually enabling mouse reporting, |
|
|
1951 | for semi-obvious reasons. |
|
|
1952 | |
|
|
1953 | The sequences received for various modes are as follows: |
|
|
1954 | |
|
|
1955 | ESC [ M o o o !1005, !1015 (three octets) |
|
|
1956 | ESC [ M c c c 1005, !1015 (three characters) |
|
|
1957 | ESC [ Pm M 1015 (three or more numeric parameters) |
|
|
1958 | |
|
|
1959 | The first three parameters are C<code>, C<x> and C<y>. Code is the numeric |
|
|
1960 | code as for the other modes (but encoded as a decimal number, including |
|
|
1961 | the additional offset of 32, so you have to subtract 32 first), C<x> and |
|
|
1962 | C<y> are the coordinates (1|1 is the upper left corner, just as with |
|
|
1963 | cursor positioning). |
|
|
1964 | |
|
|
1965 | Example: Shift-Button-1 press at top row, column 80. |
|
|
1966 | |
|
|
1967 | ESC [ 37 ; 80 ; 1 M |
|
|
1968 | |
|
|
1969 | One can use this feature by simply enabling it and then looking for |
|
|
1970 | parameters to the C<ESC [ M> reply - if there are any, this mode is |
|
|
1971 | active, otherwise one of the old reporting styles is used. |
|
|
1972 | |
|
|
1973 | Other (to be implemented) reply sequences will use a similar encoding. |
|
|
1974 | |
|
|
1975 | In the future, more parameters might get added (pixel coordinates for |
|
|
1976 | example - anybody out there who needs this?). |
