33 | |
|
|
34 | Before sending me mail, you could go to IRC: C<irc.freenode.net>, |
|
|
35 | channel C<#rxvt-unicode> has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might be |
|
|
36 | interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not FAQs :). |
|
|
37 | |
|
|
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. |
|
|
49 | |
|
|
50 | =head3 Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode? |
|
|
51 | |
|
|
52 | Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a |
|
|
53 | simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these should |
|
|
54 | give you tabs: |
|
|
55 | |
|
|
56 | @@URXVT_NAME@@ -pe tabbed |
|
|
57 | |
|
|
58 | URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed |
|
|
59 | |
|
|
60 | It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window managers |
|
|
61 | or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be |
|
|
62 | embedded into other programs, as witnessed by F<doc/rxvt-tabbed> or |
|
|
63 | the upcoming C<Gtk2::URxvt> perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt |
|
|
64 | (murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application. |

72 | |
34 | =item I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem... |
|
|
35 | |
|
|
36 | The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode contains large patches that |
|
|
37 | considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode. Before reporting a |
|
|
38 | bug to the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the |
|
|
39 | genuine version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to |
|
|
40 | reproduce the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are |
|
|
41 | specific to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the |
|
|
42 | Debian Bug Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug). |
|
|
43 | |
|
|
44 | For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
|
|
45 | probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
|
|
46 | bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that |
|
|
47 | might encounter the same issue. |
|
|
48 | |
|
|
49 | =item When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? |
|
|
50 | |
|
|
51 | The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
|
|
52 | as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises). |
|
|
53 | |
|
|
54 | The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can |
|
|
55 | be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp): |
|
|
56 | |
|
|
57 | REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
|
|
58 | infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" |
|
|
59 | |
|
|
60 | ... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system, |
|
|
61 | |
|
|
62 | If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
|
|
63 | C<TERM=rxvt> or even C<TERM=xterm>, and live with the small number of |
|
|
64 | problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
|
|
65 | colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
|
|
66 | quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though. |
|
|
67 | |
|
|
68 | If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you |
|
|
69 | can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a |
|
|
70 | resource to set it: |
|
|
71 | |
|
|
72 | URxvt.termName: rxvt |
|
|
73 | |
|
|
74 | If you don't plan to use B<rxvt> (quite common...) you could also replace |
|
|
75 | the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one. |
|
|
76 | |
|
|
77 | =item C<bash>'s readline does not work correctly under @@RXVT_NAME@@. |
|
|
78 | |
|
|
79 | =item I need a termcap file entry. |
|
|
80 | |
|
|
81 | One reason you might want this is that some distributions or operating |
|
|
82 | systems still compile some programs using the long-obsoleted termcap |
|
|
83 | (Fedora Core's bash is one example) and rely on a termcap entry for |
|
|
84 | C<rxvt-unicode>. |
|
|
85 | |
|
|
86 | You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many cases. |
|
|
87 | You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program |
|
|
88 | like this: |
|
|
89 | |
|
|
90 | infocmp -C rxvt-unicode |
|
|
91 | |
|
|
92 | Or you could use this termcap entry, generated by the command above: |

114 | =item Why does C<ls> no longer have coloured output? |
|
|
115 | |
|
|
116 | The C<ls> in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to |
|
|
117 | decide wether a terminal has colour, but uses it's own configuration |
|
|
118 | file. Needless to say, C<rxvt-unicode> is not in it's default file (among |
|
|
119 | with most other terminals supporting colour). Either add: |
|
|
120 | |
|
|
121 | TERM rxvt-unicode |
|
|
122 | |
|
|
123 | to C</etc/DIR_COLORS> or simply add: |
|
|
124 | |
|
|
125 | alias ls='ls --color=auto' |
|
|
126 | |
|
|
127 | to your C<.profile> or C<.bashrc>. |
|
|
128 | |
|
|
129 | =item Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. use the 88 colour mode? |

|
130 | |

131 | =item Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. make use of italic? |
|
|
132 | |
|
|
133 | =item Why are the secondary screen-related options not working properly? |
|
|
134 | |
|
|
135 | Make sure you are using C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>. Some pre-packaged |
|
|
136 | distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode |
|
|
137 | by setting C<TERM> to C<rxvt>, which doesn't have these extra |
|
|
138 | features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian |
|
|
139 | GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
|
|
140 | file, so you will need to install it on your own (See the question B<When |
|
|
141 | I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?> on |
|
|
142 | how to do this). |
|
|
143 | |
|
|
144 | =item My numerical keypad acts weird and generates differing output? |
|
|
145 | |
|
|
146 | Some Debian GNUL/Linux users seem to have this problem, although no |
|
|
147 | specific details were reported so far. It is possible that this is caused |
|
|
148 | by the wrong C<TERM> setting, although the details of wether and how |
|
|
149 | this can happen are unknown, as C<TERM=rxvt> should offer a compatible |
|
|
150 | keymap. See the answer to the previous question, and please report if that |
|
|
151 | helped. |
|
|
152 | |
|
|
153 | =item Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding? |
|
|
154 | |
|
|
155 | =item Unicode does not seem to work? |
|
|
156 | |
|
|
157 | If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but |
|
|
158 | getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is |
|
|
159 | subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings. |
|
|
160 | |
|
|
161 | Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same C<LC_CTYPE> setting as the |
|
|
162 | programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the C<C> locale, while the |
|
|
163 | login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to |
|
|
164 | something else, e.g. C<en_GB.UTF-8>. Needless to say, this is not going to work. |
|
|
165 | |
|
|
166 | The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run |
|
|
167 | into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile. |
|
|
168 | |
|
|
169 | printf '\e]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" |
|
|
170 | |
|
|
171 | If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a C<LC_CTYPE> specification not |
|
|
172 | supported on your systems. Some systems have a C<locale> command which |
|
|
173 | displays this (also, C<perl -e0> can be used to check locale settings, as |
|
|
174 | it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). If it displays something |
|
|
175 | like: |
|
|
176 | |
|
|
177 | locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
|
|
178 | |
|
|
179 | Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
|
|
180 | |
|
|
181 | If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then |
|
|
182 | you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't |
|
|
183 | support locales :( |
|
|
184 | |
|
|
185 | =item Why do some characters look so much different than others? |
|
|
186 | |
|
|
187 | =item How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts? |
|
|
188 | |
|
|
189 | Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is |
|
|
190 | fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
|
|
191 | your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want |
|
|
192 | to display. |
|
|
193 | |
|
|
194 | B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |
|
|
195 | font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
|
|
196 | bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't |
|
|
197 | resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial |
|
|
198 | intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe |
|
|
199 | the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct. |
|
|
200 | |
|
|
201 | In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
|
|
202 | e.g.: |
|
|
203 | |
|
|
204 | @@RXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
|
|
205 | |
|
|
206 | When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
|
|
207 | font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the |
|
|
208 | next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
|
|
209 | search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server. |
|
|
210 | |
|
|
211 | The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base |
|
|
212 | font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which |
|
|
213 | must be the same due to the way terminals work. |
|
|
214 | |
|
|
215 | =item Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
|
|
216 | |
|
|
217 | This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
|
|
218 | rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is, |
|
|
219 | as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first |
|
|
220 | sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
|
|
221 | display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many |
|
|
222 | chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
|
|
223 | non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
|
|
224 | -- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
|
|
225 | chinese characters that are also in the japanese font. |
|
|
226 | |
|
|
227 | The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
|
|
228 | list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
|
|
229 | a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
|
|
230 | first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first. |
|
|
231 | |
|
|
232 | In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
|
|
233 | runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different |
|
|
234 | fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this |
|
|
235 | has been designed yet). |
|
|
236 | |
|
|
237 | Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see L<Can |
|
|
238 | I switch the fonts at runtime?> later in this document). |
|
|
239 | |
|
|
240 | =item Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings? |
|
|
241 | |
|
|
242 | Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character |
|
|
243 | size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might |
|
|
244 | contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid |
|
|
245 | these characters. For characters that are just "a bit" too wide a special |
|
|
246 | "careful" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters. |
|
|
247 | |
|
|
248 | All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
|
|
249 | however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding |
|
|
250 | box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to |
|
|
251 | ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these |
|
|
252 | cases). |
|
|
253 | |
|
|
254 | It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, |
|
|
255 | or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using |
|
|
256 | the C<-lsp> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you |
|
|
257 | might be forced to use a different font. |
|
|
258 | |
|
|
259 | All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding |
|
|
260 | box data is correct. |
|
|
261 | |
|
|
262 | =item My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working. |
|
|
263 | |
|
|
264 | The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set |
|
|
265 | correctly, or you specified a B<preeditStyle> that is not supported by |
|
|
266 | your input method. For example, if you specified B<OverTheSpot> and |
|
|
267 | your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) |
|
|
268 | does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then |
|
|
269 | rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method. |
|
|
270 | |
|
|
271 | In this case either do not specify a B<preeditStyle> or specify more than |
|
|
272 | one pre-edit style, such as B<OverTheSpot,Root,None>. |
|
|
273 | |
|
|
274 | =item I cannot type C<Ctrl-Shift-2> to get an ASCII NUL character due to ISO 14755 |
|
|
275 | |
|
|
276 | Either try C<Ctrl-2> alone (it often is mapped to ASCII NUL even on |
|
|
277 | international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your |
|
|
278 | advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for other |
|
|
279 | codes, too, such as C<Ctrl-Shift-1-d> to type the default telnet escape |
|
|
280 | character and so on. |
|
|
281 | |
|
|
282 | =item How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much? |
|
|
283 | |
|
|
284 | First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings |
|
|
285 | (C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then |
|
|
286 | make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise |
|
|
287 | rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect: |
|
|
288 | |
|
|
289 | URxvt.colorBD: white |

|
292 | =item Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that? |
|
|
293 | |
|
|
294 | For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird |
|
|
295 | colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the standard |
|
|
296 | 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of course, to fix |
|
|
297 | these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very good reasons. |
|
|
298 | |
|
|
299 | In the meantime, you can either edit your C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
|
|
300 | definition to only claim 8 colour support or use C<TERM=rxvt>, which will |
|
|
301 | fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features. |
|
|
302 | |
|
|
303 | =item I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all. |
|
|
304 | |
|
|
305 | Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> to be defined |
|
|
306 | in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it, |
|
|
307 | wether it defines the symbol or not. C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> requires that |
|
|
308 | B<wchar_t> is represented as unicode. |
|
|
309 | |
|
|
310 | As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor |
|
|
311 | does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of |
|
|
312 | B<wchar_t>. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards. |
|
|
313 | |
|
|
314 | However, C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> is the only sane way to support |
|
|
315 | multi-language apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and |
|
|
316 | non-standardized) representation of B<wchar_t> makes it impossible to |
|
|
317 | convert between B<wchar_t> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any |
|
|
318 | other encoding without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and |
|
|
319 | every locale. There simply are no APIs to convert B<wchar_t> into anything |
|
|
320 | except the current locale encoding. |
|
|
321 | |
|
|
322 | Some applications (such as the formidable B<mlterm>) work around this |
|
|
323 | by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling |
|
|
324 | with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple |
|
|
325 | conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements |
|
|
326 | encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator). |
|
|
327 | |
|
|
328 | The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the |
|
|
329 | system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry |
|
|
330 | complete replacements for them :) |
|
|
331 | |
|
|
332 | =item How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |
|
|
333 | |
|
|
334 | =item Is there an option to switch encodings? |
|
|
335 | |
|
|
336 | Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
|
|
337 | specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
|
|
338 | UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O. |
|
|
339 | |
|
|
340 | The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
|
|
341 | the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
|
|
342 | applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width |
|
|
343 | and code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>. Applications not using |
|
|
344 | that info will have problems (for example, C<xterm> gets the width of |
|
|
345 | characters wrong as it uses it's own, locale-independent table under all |
|
|
346 | locales). |
|
|
347 | |
|
|
348 | Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All |
|
|
349 | programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
|
|
350 | interpretation of characters. |
|
|
351 | |
|
|
352 | Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
|
|
353 | is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
|
|
354 | |
|
|
355 | On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable |
|
|
356 | contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
|
|
357 | locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>, |
|
|
358 | C<ja_JP.EUC-JP>, i.e. C<language_country.encoding>, but other forms |
|
|
359 | (i.e. C<de> or C<german>) are also common. |
|
|
360 | |
|
|
361 | Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
|
|
362 | the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
|
|
363 | i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the normally same to |
|
|
364 | rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
365 | |
|
|
366 | If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |
|
|
367 | rxvt-unicode with the correct C<LC_CTYPE> category. |
|
|
368 | |
|
|
369 | =item Can I switch locales at runtime? |
|
|
370 | |
|
|
371 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |
|
|
372 | rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>. |
|
|
373 | |
|
|
374 | printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
|
|
375 | |
|
|
376 | See also the previous answer. |
|
|
377 | |
|
|
378 | Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in |
|
|
379 | one locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support it |
|
|
380 | (e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which |
|
|
381 | first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
|
|
382 | |
|
|
383 | printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
|
|
384 | xjdic -js |
|
|
385 | printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8 |
|
|
386 | |
|
|
387 | You can also use xterm's C<luit> program, which usually works fine, except |
|
|
388 | for some locales where character width differs between program- and |
|
|
389 | rxvt-unicode-locales. |
|
|
390 | |
|
|
391 | =item Can I switch the fonts at runtime? |
|
|
392 | |
|
|
393 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same |
|
|
394 | effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately: |
|
|
395 | |
|
|
396 | printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
|
|
397 | |
|
|
398 | This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
|
|
399 | japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
|
|
400 | japanese fonts would only be in your way. |
|
|
401 | |
|
|
402 | You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching. |
|
|
403 | |
|
|
404 | =item Why do italic characters look as if clipped? |
|
|
405 | |
|
|
406 | Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
|
|
407 | example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font C<xft:Bitstream Vera Sans |
|
|
408 | Mono> completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround might be to |
|
|
409 | enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this: |
|
|
410 | |
|
|
411 | URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
|
|
412 | URxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true |
|
|
413 | |
|
|
414 | =item My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do? |
|
|
415 | |
|
|
416 | You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the |
|
|
417 | terminal, using the resource C<imlocale>: |
|
|
418 | |
|
|
419 | URxvt*imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
|
|
420 | |
|
|
421 | Now you can start your terminal with C<LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8> and still |
|
|
422 | use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able to |
|
|
423 | input characters outside C<EUC-JP> in a normal way then, as your input |
|
|
424 | method limits you. |
|
|
425 | |
|
|
426 | =item Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits. |
|
|
427 | |
|
|
428 | Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
|
|
429 | design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
|
|
430 | leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at |
|
|
431 | exit time. B<kinput2> (and derived input methods) generally succeeds, |
|
|
432 | while B<SCIM> (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however, |
|
|
433 | crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides cooperate. |
|
|
434 | |
|
|
435 | So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers. |

110 | =head3 How do I distinguish whether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? I need this to decide about setting colors etc. |
|
|
111 | |
|
|
112 | The original rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", |
|
|
113 | so you can check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, |
|
|
114 | slrn, Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide |
|

115 | whether or not to use color. |

|
|
118 | |

119 | If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled |
|
|
120 | insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
|
|
121 | snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
|
|
122 | wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then |
|
|
123 | the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from a |
|
|
124 | regular xterm. |

142 | =head3 How do I compile the manual pages on my own? |
|
|
143 | |
|

|
|
145 | one that comes with F<pod2man>, F<pod2text> and F<pod2xhtml> (from |

|
148 | =head3 Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat? |
|
|
149 | |
|
|
150 | I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra |
|
|
151 | bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see |
|
|
152 | that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being |
|
|
153 | compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even |
|
|
154 | with C<--disable-everything>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many |
|
|
155 | features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are |
|
|
156 | already in use in this mode. |
|
|

160 | 188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything |
|
|
161 | |
|
|
162 | When you C<--enable-everything> (which I<is> unfair, as this involves xft |
|
|
163 | and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my |
|
|
164 | libc), the two diverge, but not unreasonably so. |
|
|
165 | |
|

|
|
169 | |
|
|
170 | The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian |
|
|
171 | encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else |
|
|
172 | and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those |
|
|
173 | encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ |
|
|
174 | compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of |
|
|
175 | memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a |
|
|
176 | few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when |
|
|
177 | not used. |
|
|
178 | |
|
|
179 | Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one, |
|
|
180 | a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more |
|
|
181 | memory. |
|
|
182 | |
|
|
183 | Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this |
|
|
184 | still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal |
|
|
185 | (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra |
|
|
186 | 43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of |
|
|
187 | startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares |
|
|
188 | extremely well *g*. |

|
|
190 | =head3 Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool? |
|
|
191 | |
|
|
192 | Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had |
|
|
193 | to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction |
|
|
194 | of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even |
|
|
195 | shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++. |
|
|
196 | |
|
|
197 | My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in |
|
|
198 | the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits |
|
|
199 | are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix |
|
|
200 | domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself. |
|
|
201 | |
|
|
202 | Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs |
|
|
203 | in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in |
|
|
204 | C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is |
|
|
205 | not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my |
|
|
206 | system with a minimal config: |
|
|
207 | |
|
|
208 | libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
|
|
209 | libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000) |
|
|
210 | libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000) |
|
|
211 | /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
|
|
212 | |
|
|
213 | And here is rxvt-unicode: |
|
|
214 | |
|
|
215 | libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
|
|
216 | libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000) |
|
|
217 | libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000) |
|
|
218 | libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000) |
|
|
219 | /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
|
|
220 | |
|
|
221 | No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically), |
|
|
222 | except maybe libX11 :) |

|

236 | 1. Use transparent mode: |

241 | That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting |
|
|
242 | support, or you are unable to read. |
|
|
243 | |
|
|
244 | 2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you |
|
|
245 | to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever |
|
|

254 | 3. Use an ARGB visual: |

257 | |
|
|
258 | This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that |
|
|
259 | doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't |
|
|
260 | there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the necessary |
|
|
261 | bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, but that |
|
|
262 | doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place. |
|
|
263 | |
|
|
264 | 4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job: |
|
|
265 | |
|
|
266 | xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \ |
|
|
267 | -set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000 |
|
|
268 | |
|
|
269 | Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace C<0xc0000000> |
|
|
270 | by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and |
|
|
271 | your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces. |
|
|
272 | |
|
|
273 | =head3 Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings? |
|
|
274 | |
|
|
275 | Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character |
|
|
276 | size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might |
|
|
277 | contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid |
|
|
278 | these characters. For characters that are just "a bit" too wide a special |
|
|
279 | "careful" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters. |
|
|
280 | |
|
|
281 | All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
|
|
282 | however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding |
|
|
283 | box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to |
|
|
284 | ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these |
|
|
285 | cases). |
|
|
286 | |
|
|
287 | It's not clear (to me at least), whether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, |
|
|
288 | or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using |
|
|
289 | the C<-lsp> option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you |
|
|
290 | might be forced to use a different font. |
|
|
291 | |
|
|
292 | All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding |
|
|
293 | box data is correct. |
|
|
294 | |
|
|
295 | =head3 How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much? |
|
|
296 | |
|
|
297 | First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings |
|
|
298 | (C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then |
|
|
299 | make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise |
|
|
300 | rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect: |
|
|
301 | |
|
|
302 | URxvt.colorBD: white |
|
|
303 | URxvt.colorIT: green |
|
|
304 | |
|
|
305 | =head3 Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that? |
|
|
306 | |
|
|
307 | For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird |
|
|
308 | colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the standard |
|
|
309 | 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of course, to fix |
|
|
310 | these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very good reasons. |
|
|
311 | |
|
|
312 | In the meantime, you can either edit your C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
|
|
313 | definition to only claim 8 colour support or use C<TERM=rxvt>, which will |
|
|
314 | fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features. |
|
|
315 | |
|
|
316 | =head3 Can I switch the fonts at runtime? |
|
|
317 | |
|
|
318 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the same |
|
|
319 | effect as using the C<-fn> switch, and takes effect immediately: |
|
|
320 | |
|
|
321 | printf '\33]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
|
|
322 | |
|
|
323 | This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
|
|
324 | japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
|
|
325 | japanese fonts would only be in your way. |
|
|
326 | |
|
|
327 | You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching. |
|
|
328 | |
|
|
329 | =head3 Why do italic characters look as if clipped? |
|
|
330 | |
|
|
331 | Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
|
|
332 | example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font C<xft:Bitstream Vera Sans |
|
|
333 | Mono> completely fails in its italic face. A workaround might be to |
|
|
334 | enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this: |
|
|
335 | |
|
|
336 | URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
|
|

425 | =head3 How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts? |
552 | |
426 | |
|
|
427 | Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is |
|
|
428 | fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
|
|
429 | your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want |
|
|
430 | to display. |
|
|
431 | |
|
|
432 | B<rxvt-unicode> makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement |
|
|
433 | font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
|
|
434 | bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't |
|
|
435 | resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial |
|
|
436 | intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe |
|
|
437 | the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct. |
|
|
438 | |
|
|
439 | In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
|
|
440 | e.g.: |
|
|
441 | |
|
|
442 | @@URXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
|
|
443 | |
|
|
444 | When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
|
|
445 | font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the |
|
|
446 | next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
|
|
447 | search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server. |
|
|
448 | |
|
|
449 | The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the base |
|
|
450 | font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, which |
|
|
451 | must be the same due to the way terminals work. |
|
|
452 | |
|
|
453 | =head3 Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
|
|
454 | |
|
|
455 | This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
|
|
456 | rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is, |
|
|
457 | as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first |
|
|
458 | sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for |
|
|
459 | display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many |
|
|
460 | chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
|
|
461 | non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font |
|
|
462 | -- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for |
|
|
463 | chinese characters that are also in the japanese font. |
|
|
464 | |
|
|
465 | The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
|
|
466 | list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as |
|
|
467 | a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
|
|
468 | first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first. |
|
|
469 | |
|
|
470 | In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
|
|
471 | runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different |
|
|
472 | fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this |
|
|
473 | has been designed yet). |
|
|
474 | |
|
|
475 | Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see L<Can |

476 | I switch the fonts at runtime?> later in this document). |

|

555 | your input method. For example, if you specified B<OverTheSpot> and |
|
|
556 | your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) |
|
|
557 | does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then |
|
|
558 | rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method. |
|
|
559 | |
|
|
560 | In this case either do not specify a B<preeditStyle> or specify more than |

685 | much, but it's least surprise to regular users. |
667 | snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
|
|
668 | wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) then |
|

688 | =item How do I compile the manual pages for myself? |
695 | These are just for testing stuff. |
689 | |
696 | |
690 | You need to have a recent version of perl installed as F</usr/bin/perl>, |
697 | URxvt.imLocale: ja_JP.UTF-8 |
691 | one that comes with F<pod2man>, F<pod2text> and F<pod2html>. Then go to |
698 | URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None |
692 | the doc subdirectory and enter C<make alldoc>. |
|
|
693 | |
699 | |
694 | =item My question isn't answered here, can I ask a human? |
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. |
695 | |
704 | |
696 | Before sending me mail, you could go to IRC: C<irc.freenode.net>, |
705 | URxvt.perl-lib: /root/lib/urxvt |
697 | channel C<#rxvt-unicode> has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might be |
706 | URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform,selection-pastebin,xim-onthespot,remote-clipboard |
698 | interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not FAQs :). |

|
|
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. |

|

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 |

|
|
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 |

|
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 |
|
|
826 | URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: command:\033[3;1605;5t |
|

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 :-> |
|
|
835 | |
|
|
836 | =head3 Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources? |
|
|
837 | |
|
|
838 | Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X |
|
|
839 | applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads |
|
|
840 | resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will |
|
|
841 | ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read |
|
|
842 | F<$HOME/.Xdefaults> when no resources are attached to the display. |
|
|
843 | |
|
|
844 | If you have or use an F<$HOME/.Xresources> file, chances are that |
|
|
845 | resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to |
|
|
846 | re-login after every change (or run F<xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources>). |
|
|
847 | |
|
|
848 | Also consider the form resources have to use: |
|
|
849 | |
|
|
850 | URxvt.resource: value |
|
|
851 | |
|
|
852 | If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of |
|
|
853 | specifying resources), make sure you understand whether and why it |
|
|
854 | works. If unsure, use the form above. |
|

|
856 | =head3 When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? |
|
|
857 | |
|
|
858 | The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
|
|
859 | as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises). |
|
|
860 | |
|
|
861 | The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can |
|
|
862 | be done by simply installing rxvt-unicode on the remote system as well |
|
|
863 | (in case you have a nice package manager ready), or you can install the |
|
|
864 | terminfo database manually like this (with ncurses infocmp. works as |
|
|
865 | user and root): |
|
|
866 | |
|
|
867 | REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
|
|
868 | infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "mkdir -p .terminfo && cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" |
|
|
869 | |
|
|
870 | One some systems you might need to set C<$TERMINFO> to the full path of |
|
|
871 | F<$HOME/.terminfo> for this to work. |
|
|
872 | |
|
|
873 | If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
|
|
874 | C<TERM=rxvt> or even C<TERM=xterm>, and live with the small number of |
|
|
875 | problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
|
|
876 | colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
|
|
877 | quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though. |
|
|
878 | |
|
|
879 | If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you |
|
|
880 | can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a |
|
|
881 | resource to set it: |
|
|
882 | |
|
|
883 | URxvt.termName: rxvt |
|
|
884 | |
|
|
885 | If you don't plan to use B<rxvt> (quite common...) you could also replace |
|
|
886 | the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one and use C<TERM=rxvt>. |
|
|
887 | |
|
|
888 | =head3 nano fails with "Error opening terminal: rxvt-unicode" |
|
|
889 | |
|
|
890 | This exceptionally confusing and useless error message is printed by nano |
|
|
891 | when it can't find the terminfo database. Nothing is wrong with your |
|
|
892 | terminal, read the previous answer for a solution. |
|
|
893 | |
|
|
894 | =head3 C<tic> outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry. |
|
|
895 | |
|
|
896 | Most likely it's the empty definition for C<enacs=>. Just replace it by |
|
|
897 | C<enacs=\E[0@> and try again. |
|
|
898 | |
|

|
|
902 | |
|
|
903 | =head3 I need a termcap file entry. |
|
|
904 | |
|
|
905 | One reason you might want this is that some distributions or operating |
|
|
906 | systems still compile some programs using the long-obsoleted termcap |
|
|
907 | library (Fedora Core's bash is one example) and rely on a termcap entry |
|
|
908 | for C<rxvt-unicode>. |
|
|
909 | |
|
|
910 | You could use rxvt's termcap entry with reasonable results in many cases. |
|
|
911 | You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program |
|
|
912 | like this: |
|
|
913 | |
|
|
914 | infocmp -C rxvt-unicode |
|
|
915 | |
|
|
916 | Or you could use the termcap entry in doc/etc/rxvt-unicode.termcap, |
|
|
917 | generated by the command above. |
|
|
918 | |
|
|
919 | =head3 Why does C<ls> no longer have coloured output? |
|
|
920 | |
|
|
921 | The C<ls> in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to |
|
|
922 | decide whether a terminal has colour, but uses its own configuration |
|
|
923 | file. Needless to say, C<rxvt-unicode> is not in its default file (among |
|
|
924 | with most other terminals supporting colour). Either add: |
|
|
925 | |
|
|
926 | TERM rxvt-unicode |
|
|
927 | |
|
|
928 | to C</etc/DIR_COLORS> or simply add: |
|
|
929 | |
|
|
930 | alias ls='ls --color=auto' |
|
|
931 | |
|
|
932 | to your C<.profile> or C<.bashrc>. |
|
|
933 | |
|
|
934 | =head3 Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. use the 88 colour mode? |
|
|
935 | |
|
|
936 | See next entry. |
|
|
937 | |
|
|
938 | =head3 Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. make use of italic? |
|
|
939 | |
|
|
940 | See next entry. |
|
|
941 | |
|
|
942 | =head3 Why are the secondary screen-related options not working properly? |
|
|
943 | |
|
|
944 | Make sure you are using C<TERM=rxvt-unicode>. Some pre-packaged |
|
|
945 | distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode |
|
|
946 | by setting C<TERM> to C<rxvt>, which doesn't have these extra |
|
|
947 | features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian |
|
|
948 | GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the C<rxvt-unicode> terminfo |
|
|
949 | file, so you will need to install it on your own (See the question B<When |
|
|
950 | I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?> on |
|
|
951 | how to do this). |

954 | =head2 Encoding / Locale / Input Method Issues |
|
|
955 | |
|
|
956 | =head3 Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding? |
|
|
957 | |
|
|
958 | See next entry. |
|
|
959 | |
|
|
960 | =head3 Unicode does not seem to work? |
|
|
961 | |
|
|
962 | If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but |
|
|
963 | getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is |
|
|
964 | subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings. |
|
|
965 | |
|
|
966 | Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same C<LC_CTYPE> setting as the |
|
|
967 | programs running in it. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the C<C> locale, |
|
|
968 | while the login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the |
|
|
969 | locale to something else, e.g. C<en_GB.UTF-8>. Needless to say, this is |
|
|
970 | not going to work, and is the most common cause for problems. |
|
|
971 | |
|
|
972 | The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run |
|
|
973 | into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile. |
|
|
974 | |
|
|
975 | printf '\33]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" # $LANG or $LC_ALL are worth a try, too |
|
|
976 | |
|
|
977 | If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a C<LC_CTYPE> specification not |
|
|
978 | supported on your systems. Some systems have a C<locale> command which |
|
|
979 | displays this (also, C<perl -e0> can be used to check locale settings, as |
|
|
980 | it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). If it displays something |
|
|
981 | like: |
|
|
982 | |
|
|
983 | locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
|
|
984 | |
|
|
985 | Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
|
|
986 | |
|
|
987 | If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then |
|
|
988 | you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't |
|
|
989 | support locales :( |
|
|
990 | |
|
|
991 | =head3 How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |
|
|
992 | |
|
|
993 | See next entry. |
|
|
994 | |
|
|
995 | =head3 Is there an option to switch encodings? |
|
|
996 | |
|
|
997 | Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
|
|
998 | specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about |
|
|
999 | UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O. |
|
|
1000 | |
|
|
1001 | The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting |
|
|
1002 | the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all |
|
|
1003 | applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width |
|
|
1004 | and code number. This mechanism is the I<locale>. Applications not using |
|
|
1005 | that info will have problems (for example, C<xterm> gets the width of |
|
|
1006 | characters wrong as it uses its own, locale-independent table under all |
|
|
1007 | locales). |
|
|
1008 | |
|
|
1009 | Rxvt-unicode uses the C<LC_CTYPE> locale category to select encoding. All |
|
|
1010 | programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
|
|
1011 | interpretation of characters. |
|
|
1012 | |
|
|
1013 | Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
|
|
1014 | is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
|
|
1015 | |
|
|
1016 | On most systems, the content of the C<LC_CTYPE> environment variable |
|
|
1017 | contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
|
|
1018 | locale. Common names for locales are C<en_US.UTF-8>, C<de_DE.ISO-8859-15>, |
|
|
1019 | C<ja_JP.EUC-JP>, i.e. C<language_country.encoding>, but other forms |
|
|
1020 | (i.e. C<de> or C<german>) are also common. |
|
|
1021 | |
|
|
1022 | Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for |
|
|
1023 | the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, |
|
|
1024 | i.e. C<de_DE.UTF-8> and C<ja_JP.UTF-8> are the normally same to |
|
|
1025 | rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
1026 | |
|
|
1027 | If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |
|
|
1028 | rxvt-unicode with the correct C<LC_CTYPE> category. |
|
|
1029 | |
|
|
1030 | =head3 Can I switch locales at runtime? |
|
|
1031 | |
|
|
1032 | Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |
|
|
1033 | rxvt-unicode's idea of C<LC_CTYPE>. |
|
|
1034 | |
|
|
1035 | printf '\33]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
|
|
1036 | |
|
|
1037 | See also the previous answer. |
|
|
1038 | |
|
|
1039 | Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in |
|
|
1040 | one locale (e.g. C<de_DE.UTF-8>) but some programs don't support it |
|
|
1041 | (e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start C<xjdic>, which |
|
|
1042 | first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
|
|
1043 | |
|
|
1044 | printf '\33]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
|
|
1045 | xjdic -js |
|
|
1046 | printf '\33]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8 |
|
|
1047 | |
|
|
1048 | You can also use xterm's C<luit> program, which usually works fine, except |
|
|
1049 | for some locales where character width differs between program- and |
|
|
1050 | rxvt-unicode-locales. |
|
|
1051 | |
|
|
1052 | =head3 I have problems getting my input method working. |
|
|
1053 | |
|
|
1054 | Try a search engine, as this is slightly different for every input method server. |
|
|
1055 | |
|
|
1056 | Here is a checklist: |
|
|
1057 | |
|
|
1058 | =over 4 |
|
|
1059 | |
|
|
1060 | =item - Make sure your locale I<and> the imLocale are supported on your OS. |
|
|
1061 | |
|
|
1062 | Try C<locale -a> or check the documentation for your OS. |
|
|
1063 | |
|
|
1064 | =item - Make sure your locale or imLocale matches a locale supported by your XIM. |
|
|
1065 | |
|
|
1066 | For example, B<kinput2> does not support UTF-8 locales, you should use |
|
|
1067 | C<ja_JP.EUC-JP> or equivalent. |
|
|
1068 | |
|
|
1069 | =item - Make sure your XIM server is actually running. |
|
|
1070 | |
|
|
1071 | =item - Make sure the C<XMODIFIERS> environment variable is set correctly when I<starting> rxvt-unicode. |
|
|
1072 | |
|
|
1073 | When you want to use e.g. B<kinput2>, it must be set to |
|
|
1074 | C<@im=kinput2>. For B<scim>, use C<@im=SCIM>. You can see what input |
|
|
1075 | method servers are running with this command: |
|
|
1076 | |
|
|
1077 | xprop -root XIM_SERVERS |
|
|
1078 | |
|
|
1079 | =item |
699 | |
1080 | |
700 | =back |
1081 | =back |
701 | |
1082 | |
|
|
1083 | =head3 My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do? |
|
|
1084 | |
|
|
1085 | You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the |
|
|
1086 | terminal, using the resource C<imlocale>: |
|
|
1087 | |
|
|
1088 | URxvt.imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
|
|
1089 | |
|
|
1090 | Now you can start your terminal with C<LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8> and still |
|
|
1091 | use your input method. Please note, however, that, depending on your Xlib |
|
|
1092 | version, you may not be able to input characters outside C<EUC-JP> in a |
|
|
1093 | normal way then, as your input method limits you. |
|
|
1094 | |
|
|
1095 | =head3 Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits. |
|
|
1096 | |
|
|
1097 | Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
|
|
1098 | design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
|
|
1099 | leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at |
|
|
1100 | exit time. B<kinput2> (and derived input methods) generally succeeds, |
|
|
1101 | while B<SCIM> (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however, |
|
|
1102 | crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides cooperate. |
|
|
1103 | |
|
|
1104 | So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers. |
|
|
1105 | |
|
|
1106 | |
|
|
1107 | =head2 Operating Systems / Package Maintaining |
|
|
1108 | |
|
|
1109 | =head3 I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem... |
|
|
1110 | |
|
|
1111 | The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
|
|
1112 | patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but |
|
|
1113 | unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to |
|
|
1114 | the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine |
|
|
1115 | version (L<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce |
|
|
1116 | the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific to |
|
|
1117 | Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian Bug |
|
|
1118 | Tracking System (use C<reportbug> to report the bug). |
|
|
1119 | |
|
|
1120 | For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
|
|
1121 | probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
|
|
1122 | bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users that |
|
|
1123 | might encounter the same issue. |
|
|
1124 | |
|
|
1125 | =head3 I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation? |
|
|
1126 | |
|
|
1127 | You should build one binary with the default options. F<configure> |
|
|
1128 | now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
|
|
1129 | runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enabling them, |
|
|
1130 | except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should |
|
|
1131 | be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in |
|
|
1132 | the future) depends on it. |
|
|
1133 | |
|
|
1134 | You should not overwrite the C<perl-ext-common> snd C<perl-ext> resources |
|
|
1135 | system-wide (except maybe with C<defaults>). This will result in useful |
|
|
1136 | behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty |
|
|
1137 | C<perl-ext-common> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the |
|
|
1138 | perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it. |
|
|
1139 | |
|
|
1140 | If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
|
|
1141 | one with C<--disable-everything> (very useful) and a maximal one with |
|
|
1142 | C<--enable-everything> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of |
|
|
1143 | encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used). |
|
|
1144 | |
|
|
1145 | =head3 I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe? |
|
|
1146 | |
|
|
1147 | It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly |
|
|
1148 | install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now. |
|
|
1149 | |
|
|
1150 | When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork |
|
|
1151 | into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some |
|
|
1152 | systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges |
|
|
1153 | immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep |
|
|
1154 | privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains |
|
|
1155 | things as perl interpreters, which might be "helpful" to attackers). |
|
|
1156 | |
|
|
1157 | This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early |
|
|
1158 | and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or |
|
|
1159 | things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very |
|
|
1160 | little risk. |
|
|
1161 | |
|
|
1162 | =head3 I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all. |
|
|
1163 | |
|
|
1164 | Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> to be defined |
|
|
1165 | in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it, |
|
|
1166 | whether it defines the symbol or not. C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> requires that |
|
|
1167 | B<wchar_t> is represented as unicode. |
|
|
1168 | |
|
|
1169 | As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symbol nor |
|
|
1170 | does it support it. Instead, it uses its own internal representation of |
|
|
1171 | B<wchar_t>. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards. |
|
|
1172 | |
|
|
1173 | However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in C<POSIX>, C<ISO-8859-1> and |
|
|
1174 | C<UTF-8> locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as B<wchar_t>). |
|
|
1175 | |
|
|
1176 | C<__STDC_ISO_10646__> is the only sane way to support multi-language |
|
|
1177 | apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized) |

|
1178 | representation of B<wchar_t> makes it impossible to convert between |
|
|
1179 | B<wchar_t> (as used by X11 and your applications) and any other encoding |
|
|
1180 | without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and every locale. There |
|
|
1181 | simply are no APIs to convert B<wchar_t> into anything except the current |
|
|
1182 | locale encoding. |
|
|
1183 | |
|
|
1184 | Some applications (such as the formidable B<mlterm>) work around this |
|
|
1185 | by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling |
|
|
1186 | with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple |
|
|
1187 | conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements |
|
|
1188 | encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator). |
|
|
1189 | |
|
|
1190 | The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the |
|
|
1191 | system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry |
|
|
1192 | complete replacements for them :) |
|
|

|
|
1194 | =head3 How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin? |
|
|
1195 | |
|
|
1196 | rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
|
|
1197 | the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
|
|
1198 | longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
|
|
1199 | single font). I recommend starting the X-server in C<-multiwindow> or |
|
|
1200 | C<-rootless> mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as the |
|
|
1201 | old libW11 emulation. |
|
|
1202 | |
|
|
1203 | At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte |
|
|
1204 | encodings (you might try C<LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8>), so you are likely limited |
|
|
1205 | to 8-bit encodings. |
|
|
1206 | |
|
|
1207 | =head3 Character widths are not correct. |
|
|
1208 | |
|
|
1209 | urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about |
|
|
1210 | the width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you |
|
|
1211 | will likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9, |
|
|
1212 | where single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width, |
|
|
1213 | and Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1. |
|
|
1214 | |
|
|
1215 | The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A |
|
|
1216 | possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like |
|
|
1217 | |

|

1220 | =head3 I want 256 colors |
|
|
1221 | |
|
|
1222 | Are you sure you need 256 colors? 88 colors should be enough for most |
|
|
1223 | purposes. If you really need more, there is an unsupported patch for |
|
|
1224 | it in the doc directory, but please do not ask for it to be applied. |

|
1508 | =head2 Overview of menuBar operation |
|
|
1509 | |
|
|
1510 | For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence C<ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST>, the syntax |
|
|
1511 | of C<Pt> can be used for a variety of tasks: |
|
|
1512 | |
|
|
1513 | At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular |
|
|
1514 | linked-list of other such menuBars. |
|
|
1515 | |
|
|
1516 | The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in |
|
|
1517 | turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus. |
|
|
1518 | |
|
|
1519 | The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard |
|
|
1520 | input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt. |
|
|
1521 | |
|
|
1522 | The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of |
|
|
1523 | constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the |
|
|
1524 | menuBars. |
|
|
1525 | |
|
|
1526 | The first step is to use the tag B<< [menu:I<name>] >> which creates |
|
|
1527 | the menuBar called I<name> and allows access. You may now or menus, |
|
|
1528 | subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag B<[done]> to set the |
|
|
1529 | menuBar access as B<readonly> to prevent accidental corruption of the |
|
|
1530 | menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag |
|
|
1531 | B<[menu]>, make the alterations and then use B<[done]> |
|

1537 | =over 4 |
|
|
1538 | |
|
|
1539 | =item B<< [menu:+I<name>] >> |
|
|
1540 | |
|
|
1541 | access the named menuBar for creation or alteration. If a new menuBar |
|
|
1542 | is created, it is called I<name> (max of 15 chars) and the current |
|
|
1543 | menuBar is pushed onto the stack |
|
|
1544 | |
|
|
1545 | =item B<[menu]> |
|
|
1546 | |
|
|
1547 | access the current menuBar for alteration |
|
|
1548 | |
|
|
1549 | =item B<< [title:+I<string>] >> |
|
|
1550 | |
|
|
1551 | set the current menuBar's title to I<string>, which may contain the |
|
|
1552 | following format specifiers: |
|
|
1553 | |
|
|
1554 | B<%n> rxvt name (as per the B<-name> command-line option) |
|
|
1555 | B<%v> rxvt version |
|
|
1556 | B<%%> literal B<%> character |
|
|
1557 | |
|
|
1558 | =item B<[done]> |
|
|
1559 | |
|
|
1560 | set menuBar access as B<readonly>. |
|
|
1561 | End-of-file tag for B<< [read:+I<file>] >> operations. |
|
|
1562 | |
|
|
1563 | =item B<< [read:+I<file>] >> |
|
|
1564 | |
|
|
1565 | read menu commands directly from I<file> (extension ".menu" will be |
|
|
1566 | appended if required.) Start reading at a line with B<[menu]> or B<< |
|
|
1567 | [menu:+I<name> >> and continuing until B<[done]> is encountered. |
|
|
1568 | |
|
|
1569 | Blank and comment lines (starting with B<#>) are ignored. Actually, |
|
|
1570 | since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost anything could |
|
|
1571 | be construed as a comment line, but this may be tightened up in the |
|
|
1572 | future ... so don't count on it!. |
|
|
1573 | |
|
|
1574 | =item B<< [read:+I<file>;+I<name>] >> |
|
|
1575 | |
|
|
1576 | The same as B<< [read:+I<file>] >>, but start reading at a line with |
|
|
1577 | B<< [menu:+I<name>] >> and continuing until B<< [done:+I<name>] >> or |
|
|
1578 | B<[done]> is encountered. |
|
|
1579 | |
|
|
1580 | =item B<[dump]> |
|
|
1581 | |
|
|
1582 | dump all menuBars to the file B</tmp/rxvt-PID> in a format suitable for |
|
