		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.

		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

		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

644	=head2 Terminal Configuration	680	=head2 Terminal Configuration
		681
		682	=head3 Can I see a typical configuration?
		683
		684	The default configuration tries to be xterm-like, which I don't like that
		685	much, but it's least surprise to regular users.
		686
		687	As a rxvt or rxvt-unicode user, you are practically supposed to invest
		688	time into customising your terminal. To get you started, here is the
		689	author's .Xdefaults entries, with comments on what they do. It's certainly
		690	not I<typical>, but what's typical...
		691
		692	URxvt.cutchars: "()*,<>[]{}\|'
		693	URxvt.print-pipe: cat >/tmp/xxx
		694
		695	These are just for testing stuff.
		696
		697	URxvt.imLocale: ja_JP.UTF-8
		698	URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None
		699
		700	This tells rxvt-unicode to use a special locale when communicating with
		701	the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit
		702	type, which requires the C<xim-onthespot> perl extension but rewards me
		703	with correct-looking fonts.
		704
		705	URxvt.perl-lib: /root/lib/urxvt
		706	URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform,selection-pastebin,xim-onthespot,remote-clipboard
		707	URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+)
		708	URxvt.selection.pattern-1: ^(/[^:]+):\
		709	URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
		710	URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
		711
		712	This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library
		713	directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I
		714	develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I
		715	write.
		716
		717	The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware
		718	and tells it to convert perl error messages into vi-commands to load the
		719	relevant file and go tot he error line number.
		720
		721	URxvt.scrollstyle: plain
		722	URxvt.secondaryScroll: true
		723
		724	As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the
		725	author. The C<secondaryScroll> configures urxvt to scroll in full-screen
		726	apps, like screen, so lines scrolled out of screen end up in urxvt's
		727	scrollback buffer.
		728
		729	URxvt.background: #000000
		730	URxvt.foreground: gray90
		731	URxvt.color7: gray90
		732	URxvt.colorBD: #ffffff
		733	URxvt.cursorColor: #e0e080
		734	URxvt.throughColor: #8080f0
		735	URxvt.highlightColor: #f0f0f0
		736
		737	Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but
		738	these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background
		739	to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the
		740	default foreground colour.
		741
		742	URxvt.underlineColor: yellow
		743
		744	Another colour, makes underline lines look different. Sometimes hurts, but
		745	is mostly a nice effect.
		746
		747	URxvt.geometry: 154x36
		748	URxvt.loginShell: false
		749	URxvt.meta: ignore
		750	URxvt.utmpInhibit: true
		751
		752	Uh, well, should be mostly self-explanatory. By specifying some defaults
		753	manually, I can quickly switch them for testing.
		754
		755	URxvt.saveLines: 8192
		756
		757	A large scrollback buffer is essential. Really.
		758
		759	URxvt.mapAlert: true
		760
		761	The only case I use it is for my IRC window, which I like to keep
		762	iconified till people msg me (which beeps).
		763
		764	URxvt.visualBell: true
		765
		766	The audible bell is often annoying, especially when in a crowd.
		767
		768	URxvt.insecure: true
		769
		770	Please don't hack my mutt! Ooops...
		771
		772	URxvt.pastableTabs: false

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

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

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