488=head3 Why is the cursor now blinking in emacs/vi/...?
489
490This is likely caused by your editor/program's use of the C<cvvis>
491terminfo capability. Emacs uses it by default, as well as some versions of
492vi and possibly other programs.
493
494In emacs, you can switch that off by adding this to your C<.emacs> file:
495
496 (setq visible-cursor nil)
497
498For other programs, if they do not have an option, your have to remove the
499C<cvvis> capability from the terminfo description.
500
501When @@URXVT_NAME@@ first added the blinking cursor option, it didn't
502add a C<cvvis> capability, which served no purpose before. Version 9.21
503introduced C<cvvis> (and the ability to control blinking independent of
504cursor shape) for compatibility with other terminals, which traditionally
505use a blinking cursor for C<cvvis>. This also reflects the intent of
506programs such as emacs, who expect C<cvvis> to enable a blinking cursor.

1104
1105The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large
1106patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but
1107unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to
1108the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine
1109version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce
1110the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to
1111Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug
1112Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug).
1113
1114For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and
1115probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a

1117might encounter the same issue.

1209When some functionality is marked as (insecure mode), then it requires
1210insecure mode to be enabled to work fully, e.g. by using the B<insecure>
1211resource or command line switch. As that name implies, a terminal running
1212in insecure mode might not be secure against attackers that can output
1213arbitrary sequences to the terminal.

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