29 | =item The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select |
|
|
30 | single words? |
|
|
31 | |
|
|
32 | Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can use |
|
|
33 | the following resource: |
|
|
34 | |
|
|
35 | URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+) |
|
|
36 | |
|
|
37 | If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended |
|
|
38 | more and more. |
|
|
39 | |
|
|
40 | To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern: |
|
|
41 | |
|
|
42 | URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+) |
|
|
43 | |
|
|
44 | Please also note that the I<LeftClick Shift-LeftClik> combination also |
|
|
45 | selects words like the old code. |
|
|
46 | |
|
|
47 | =item I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I |
|
|
48 | change/disable it? |
|
|
49 | |
|
|
50 | You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the |
|
|
51 | B<perl-ext-common> resource to the empty string, which also keeps |
|
|
52 | rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory. |
|
|
53 | |
|
|
54 | If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
|
|
55 | identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section |
|
|
56 | B<PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS> in the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage. For |
|
|
57 | example, to disable the B<selection-popup> and B<option-popup>, specify |
|
|
58 | this B<perl-ext-common> resource: |
|
|
59 | |
|
|
60 | URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup |
|
|
61 | |
|
|
62 | This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup |
|
|
63 | extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example, |
|
|
64 | scrollback search mode is triggered by B<M-s>. You can move it to any |
|
|
65 | other combination either by setting the B<searchable-scrollback> resource: |
|
|
66 | |
|
|
67 | URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s |
|
|
68 | |
|
|
69 | =item Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat? |
|
|
70 | |
|
|
71 | I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra |
|
|
72 | bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see |
|
|
73 | that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always being |
|
|
74 | compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after startup. Even |
|
|
75 | with C<--disable-everything>, this comparison is a bit unfair, as many |
|
|
76 | features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, iso14755 etc.) are |
|
|
77 | already in use in this mode. |
|
|
78 | |
|
|
79 | text data bss drs rss filename |
|
|
80 | 98398 1664 24 15695 1824 rxvt --disable-everything |
|
|
81 | 188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything |
|
|
82 | |
|
|
83 | When you C<--enable-everything> (which _is_ unfair, as this involves xft |
|
|
84 | and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my |
|
|
85 | libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so. |
|
|
86 | |
|
|
87 | text data bss drs rss filename |
|
|
88 | 163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything |
|
|
89 | 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything |
|
|
90 | |
|
|
91 | The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian |
|
|
92 | encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else |
|
|
93 | and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those |
|
|
94 | encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ |
|
|
95 | compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of |
|
|
96 | memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds a |
|
|
97 | few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when |
|
|
98 | not used. |
|
|
99 | |
|
|
100 | Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of one, |
|
|
101 | a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use more |
|
|
102 | memory. |
|
|
103 | |
|
|
104 | Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this |
|
|
105 | still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like gnome-terminal |
|
|
106 | (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole (22200k + extra |
|
|
107 | 43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half a minute of |
|
|
108 | startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits out), it fares |
|
|
109 | extremely well *g*. |
|
|
110 | |
|
|
111 | =item Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool? |
|
|
112 | |
|
|
113 | Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I had |
|
|
114 | to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a fraction |
|
|
115 | of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put even |
|
|
116 | shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++. |
|
|
117 | |
|
|
118 | My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in |
|
|
119 | the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits |
|
|
120 | are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and unix |
|
|
121 | domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself. |
|
|
122 | |
|
|
123 | Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs |
|
|
124 | in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in |
|
|
125 | C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is |
|
|
126 | not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my |
|
|
127 | system with a minimal config: |
|
|
128 | |
|
|
129 | libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
|
|
130 | libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000) |
|
|
131 | libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000) |
|
|
132 | /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
|
|
133 | |
|
|
134 | And here is rxvt-unicode: |
|
|
135 | |
|
|
136 | libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
|
|
137 | libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000) |
|
|
138 | libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000) |
|
|
139 | libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000) |
|
|
140 | /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
|
|
141 | |
|
|
142 | No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically), |
|
|
143 | except maybe libX11 :) |

145 | =item Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode? |
|
|
146 | |
|
|
147 | rxvt-unicode does not directly support tabs. It will work fine with |
|
|
148 | tabbing functionality of many window managers or similar tabbing programs, |
|
|
149 | and its embedding-features allow it to be embedded into other programs, |
|
|
150 | as witnessed by F<doc/rxvt-tabbed> or the upcoming C<Gtk2::URxvt> perl |
|
|
151 | module, which features a tabbed urxvt (murxvt) terminal as an example |

177 | =item I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any |
|
|
178 | recommendation? |
|
|
179 | |
|
|
180 | You should build one binary with the default options. F<configure> |
|
|
181 | now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
|
|
182 | runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them, |
|
|
183 | except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should |
|
|
184 | be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in |
|
|
185 | the future) depends on it. |
|
|
186 | |
|
|
187 | You should not overwrite the C<perl-ext-common> snd C<perl-ext> resources |
|
|
188 | system-wide (except maybe with C<defaults>). This will result in useful |
|
|
189 | behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty |
|
|
190 | C<perl-ext-common> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the |
|
|
191 | perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it. |
|
|
192 | |
|
|
193 | If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
|
|
194 | one with C<--disable-everything> (very useful) and a maximal one with |
|
|
195 | C<--enable-everything> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of |
|
|
196 | encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used). |
|
|
197 | |
|
|
198 | =item I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe? |
|
|
199 | |
|
|
200 | It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly |
|
|
201 | install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now. |
|
|
202 | |
|
|
203 | When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork |
|
|
204 | into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some |
|
|
205 | systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges |
|
|
206 | immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep |
|
|
207 | privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains |
|
|
208 | things as perl interpreters, which might be "helpful" to attackers). |
|
|
209 | |
|
|
210 | This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early |
|
|
211 | and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or |
|
|
212 | things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very |
|
|
213 | little risk. |

|
|
521 | |
|
|
522 | rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
|
|
523 | the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
|
|
524 | longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
|
|
525 | single font). I recommend starting the X-server in C<-multiwindow> or |
|
|
526 | C<-rootless> mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as the |
|
|
527 | old libW11 emulation. |
|
|
528 | |
|
|
529 | At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any multi-byte |
|
|
530 | encodings (you might try C<LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8>), so you are likely limited |
|
|
531 | to 8-bit encodings. |

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]> |

|
|
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 | B<%%> : literal B<%> character |
|
|
1554 | B<%n> : rxvt name (as per the B<-name> command-line option) |
|
|
1555 | B<%v> : rxvt version |
|
|
1556 | |
|
|
1557 | =item B<[done]> |
|
|
1558 | |
|
|
1559 | set menuBar access as B<readonly>. |
|
|
1560 | End-of-file tag for B<< [read:+I<file>] >> operations. |
|
|
1561 | |
|
|
1562 | =item B<< [read:+I<file>] >> |
|
|
1563 | |
|
|
1564 | read menu commands directly from I<file> (extension ".menu" will be |
|
|
1565 | appended if required.) Start reading at a line with B<[menu]> or B<< |
|
|
1566 | [menu:+I<name> >> and continuing until B<[done]> is encountered. |
|
|
1567 | |
|
|
1568 | Blank and comment lines (starting with B<#>) are ignored. Actually, |
|
|
1569 | since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost anything could |
|
|
1570 | be construed as a comment line, but this may be tightened up in the |
|
|
1571 | future ... so don't count on it!. |

|

1577 | B<[done]> is encountered. |
