Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode? |
30 |
|
|
Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a |
31 |
|
|
simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these |
32 |
|
|
should give you tabs: |
33 |
root |
1.41 |
|
34 |
root |
1.60 |
urxvt -pe tabbed |
35 |
root |

1.59 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbed |
37 |
root |
1.41 |
|
38 |
root |
1.59 |
It will also work fine with tabbing functionality of many window |
39 |
|
|
managers or similar tabbing programs, and its embedding-features allow |
40 |
|
|
it to be embedded into other programs, as witnessed by doc/rxvt-tabbed |
41 |
|
|
or the upcoming "Gtk2::URxvt" perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt |
42 |
|
|
(murxvt) terminal as an example embedding application. |

How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using? |
45 |
|
|
The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape |
46 |
|
|
sequence "ESC [ 8 n" sets the window title to the version number. When |
47 |
root |
1.60 |
using the urxvtc client, the version displayed is that of the daemon. |

Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that? |
50 |
|
|
Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for something |
51 |
|
|
you don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings |
52 |
|
|
that you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by |
53 |
|
|
design, when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be |
54 |
|
|
loaded accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your |
55 |
|
|
characters. |

Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger |
58 |
|
|
scrollback buffers: Without "--enable-unicode3", rxvt-unicode will use 6 |
59 |
|
|
bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a |
60 |
|
|
kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if |
61 |
|
|
full) use 10 Megabytes of memory. With "--enable-unicode3" it gets |
62 |
|
|
worse, as rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell. |

How can I start urxvtd in a race-free way? |
65 |
|

Try "urxvtd -f -o", which tells urxvtd to open the display, create the |

listening socket and then fork. |

How do I distinguish wether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? I need this to decide about setting colors etc. |
69 |
root |
1.62 |
The original rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable |
70 |
|
|
"COLORTERM", so you can check and see if that is set. Note that several |
71 |
|
|
programs, JED, slrn, Midnight Commander automatically check this |
72 |
|
|
variable to decide whether or not to use color. |

How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable? |
75 |
|
|
If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled |
76 |
|
|
insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
77 |
|
|
snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of rxvt-unicode |
78 |
|
|
wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in these snippets) |
79 |
|
|
then the COLORTERM variable can be used to distinguish rxvt-unicode from |
80 |
|
|
a regular xterm. |

How do I compile the manual pages on my own? |
99 |
|
|
You need to have a recent version of perl installed as /usr/bin/perl, |
100 |
|
|
one that comes with pod2man, pod2text and pod2html. Then go to the doc |
101 |
|
|
subdirectory and enter "make alldoc". |

Isn't rxvt-unicode supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat? |
104 |
root |
1.56 |
I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause extra |
105 |
|
|
bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you can see |
106 |
|
|
that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables always |
107 |
|
|
being compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) after |
108 |
|
|
startup. Even with "--disable-everything", this comparison is a bit |
109 |
|
|
unfair, as many features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding conversion, |
110 |
|
|
iso14755 etc.) are already in use in this mode. |

When you "--enable-everything" (which *is* unfair, as this involves xft |
117 |
root |
1.56 |
and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 and my |
118 |
|
|
libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so. |

123 |
|
|
|
124 |
|
|
The very large size of the text section is explained by the east-asian |
125 |
|
|
encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but nothing else |
126 |
|
|
and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core fonts that use those |
127 |
|
|
encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k emergency buffer that my c++ |
128 |
|
|
compiler allocates (but of course doesn't use unless you are out of |
129 |
|
|
memory). Also, using an xft font instead of a core font immediately adds |
130 |
|
|
a few megabytes of RSS. Xft indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even |
131 |
|
|
when not used. |
132 |
|
|
|
133 |
|
|
Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of |
134 |
|
|
one, a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use |
135 |
|
|
more memory. |
136 |
|
|
|
137 |
|
|
Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), this |
138 |
|
|
still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like |
139 |
|
|
gnome-terminal (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or konsole |
140 |
|
|
(22200k + extra 43180k in daemons that stay around after exit, plus half |
141 |
|
|
a minute of startup time, including the hundreds of warnings it spits |
142 |
|
|
out), it fares extremely well *g*. |

Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool? |
145 |
root |
1.56 |
Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: I |
146 |
|
|
had to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a |
147 |
|
|
fraction of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). Put |
148 |
|
|
even shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++. |
149 |
|
|
|
150 |
|
|
My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but in |
151 |
|
|
the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability limits |
152 |
|
|
are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale support and |
153 |
|
|
unix domain sockets, which are all less portable than C++ itself. |
154 |
|
|
|
155 |
|
|
Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write programs |
156 |
|
|
in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to write programs in |
157 |
|
|
C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large libraries, but this is |
158 |
|
|
not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is what rxvt links against on my |
159 |
|
|
system with a minimal config: |
160 |
|
|
|
161 |
|
|
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
162 |
|
|
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000) |
163 |
|
|
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000) |
164 |
|
|
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
|
|
And here is rxvt-unicode: |
167 |
|
|
|
168 |
|
|
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
169 |
|
|
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000) |
170 |
|
|
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000) |
171 |
|
|
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000) |
172 |
|
|
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
173 |
|
|
|
174 |
|
|
No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in statically), |
175 |
|
|
except maybe libX11 :) |

Rendering, Font & Look and Feel Issues |
178 |
|
|
I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong? |
179 |
|
|
First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in rxvt-unicode, |
180 |
|
|
so you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author about it (but you |
181 |
|
|
may bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it working consider it a |
182 |
|
|
rite of passage: ... and you failed. |
183 |
root |
1.56 |
|
184 |
root |
1.59 |
Here are four ways to get transparency. Do read the manpage and option |
185 |
|
|
descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode. Really, do it! |
186 |
root |
1.56 |
|
187 |
root |
1.59 |
1. Use inheritPixmap: |
188 |
root |
1.56 |
|
189 |
root |
1.59 |
Esetroot wallpaper.jpg |
190 |
root |
1.60 |
urxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40 |
191 |
root |
1.56 |
|
192 |
root |
1.59 |
That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and tinting |
193 |
|
|
support, or you are unable to read. |
194 |
root |
1.56 |
|
195 |
root |
1.59 |
2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables you |
196 |
|
|
to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just shade/tint/whatever |
197 |
|
|
your picture with gimp or any other tool: |
198 |
root |
1.56 |
|
199 |
root |
1.59 |
convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm |
200 |
root |
1.60 |
urxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background |
201 |
root |
1.56 |
|
202 |
root |
1.59 |
That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support, or |
203 |
|
|
you are unable to read. |
204 |
root |
1.56 |
|
205 |
root |
1.59 |
3. Use an ARGB visual: |
206 |
root |
1.56 |
|
207 |
root |
1.60 |
urxvt -depth 32 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/4444/cccc |
208 |
root |
1.56 |
|
209 |
root |
1.59 |
This requires XFT support, and the support of your X-server. If that |
210 |
|
|
doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals aren't |
211 |
|
|
there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains the |
212 |
|
|
neccessary bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it work, |
213 |
|
|
but that doesn't mean that your WM has the required kludges in place. |
214 |
root |
1.56 |
|
215 |
root |
1.59 |
4. Use xcompmgr and let it do the job: |
216 |
root |
1.56 |
|
217 |
root |
1.59 |
xprop -frame -f _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 32c \ |
218 |
|
|
-set _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY 0xc0000000 |
219 |
root |
1.56 |
|
220 |
root |
1.59 |
Then click on a window you want to make transparent. Replace 0xc0000000 |
221 |
|
|
by other values to change the degree of opacity. If it doesn't work and |
222 |
|
|
your server crashes, you got to keep the pieces. |

Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
225 |
|
|
This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
226 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output is, as |
227 |
|
|
it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode first sees a |
228 |
|
|
japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese font for display. |
229 |
|
|
Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. Now, many chinese |
230 |
|
|
characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first |
231 |
|
|
non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese |
232 |
|
|
font -- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font |
233 |
|
|
for chinese characters that are also in the japanese font. |
234 |
root |
1.56 |
|
235 |
root |
1.59 |
The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font |
236 |
|
|
list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as a |
237 |
|
|
preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font |
238 |
|
|
first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first. |
239 |
root |
1.56 |
|
240 |
root |
1.59 |
In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
241 |
|
|
runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using different |
242 |
|
|
fonts for the same character at the same time, but no interface for this |
243 |
|
|
has been designed yet). |
244 |
root |
1.56 |
|
245 |
root |
1.59 |
Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see "Can |
246 |
|
|
I switch the fonts at runtime?" later in this document). |
247 |
root |
1.56 |
|
248 |
root |
1.59 |
Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings? |
249 |
|
|
Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that |
250 |
|
|
character size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal |
251 |
|
|
use might contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode |
252 |
|
|
will avoid these characters. For characters that are just "a bit" too |
253 |
|
|
wide a special "careful" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent |
254 |
|
|
characters. |
255 |
root |
1.56 |
|
256 |
root |
1.59 |
All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
257 |
|
|
however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed |
258 |
|
|
bounding box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct |
259 |
|
|
way is to ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is |
260 |
|
|
wrong in these cases). |
261 |
root |
1.56 |
|
262 |
root |
1.59 |
It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype, |
263 |
|
|
or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try |
264 |
|
|
using the "-lsp" option to give the font more height. If that doesn't |
265 |
|
|
work, you might be forced to use a different font. |
266 |
root |
1.56 |
|
267 |
root |
1.59 |
All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their |
268 |
|
|
bounding box data is correct. |

How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much? |
271 |
|
|
First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal settings |
272 |
|
|
("TERM=rxvt-unicode"), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then |
273 |
|
|
make sure you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise |
274 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate the effect: |

Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that? |
280 |
|
|
For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very weird |
281 |
|
|
colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the |
282 |
|
|
standard 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of |
283 |
|
|
course, to fix these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very |
284 |
|
|
good reasons. |

In the meantime, you can either edit your "rxvt-unicode" terminfo |
287 |
|
|
definition to only claim 8 colour support or use "TERM=rxvt", which will |
288 |
|
|
fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features. |

Can I switch the fonts at runtime? |
291 |
|
|
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has the |
292 |
|
|
same effect as using the "-fn" switch, and takes effect immediately: |
293 |
root |
1.56 |
|
294 |
root |
1.59 |
printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |

This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a |
297 |
|
|
japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where |
298 |
|
|
japanese fonts would only be in your way. |

Why do italic characters look as if clipped? |
303 |
|
|
Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
304 |
|
|
example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font "xft:Bitstream Vera Sans |
305 |
|
|
Mono" completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround might be to |
306 |
|
|
enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this: |
307 |
root |
1.56 |
|
308 |
root |
1.59 |
URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |

Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow? |
312 |
|
|
Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as it |
313 |
|
|
is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable |
314 |
|
|
antialiasing (by appending ":antialias=false"), which saves lots of |
315 |
|
|
memory and also speeds up rendering considerably. |

Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong? |
318 |
|
|
Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
319 |
|
|
fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
320 |
|
|
fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has |
321 |
|
|
antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they |
322 |
|
|
look best that way. |
323 |
root |

324 |

If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually. |

What's with this bold/blink stuff? |
327 |

How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts? |
390 |
root |
1.56 |
Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is fine. |
391 |
|
|
Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of your |
392 |
|
|
system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want to |
393 |
|
|
display. |
394 |
|
|
|
395 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement font. |
396 |
|
|
Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
397 |
|
|
bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that don't |
398 |
|
|
resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial |
399 |
|
|
intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe |
400 |
|
|
the font that the characters it claims to contain indeed look correct. |
401 |
|
|
|
402 |
|
|
In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list, |
403 |
|
|
e.g.: |
404 |
|
|
|
405 |
root |
1.60 |
urxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
406 |
root |
1.59 |
|
407 |
root |
1.56 |
When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base font. |
408 |
|
|
If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the next |
409 |
|
|
font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this |
410 |
|
|
search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X-server. |
411 |
|
|
|
412 |
|
|
The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the |
413 |
|
|
base font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell size, |
414 |
|
|
which must be the same due to the way terminals work. |

Keyboard, Mouse & User Interaction |
417 |
|
|
The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words? |
418 |
|
|
If you want to select e.g. alphanumeric words, you can use the following |
419 |
|
|
setting: |
420 |
|
|
|
421 |
|
|
URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+) |
422 |
root |
1.56 |
|
423 |
root |
1.59 |
If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended more and |
424 |
|
|
more. |
425 |
root |
1.56 |
|
426 |
root |
1.59 |
To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this |
427 |
|
|
pattern: |
428 |
root |
1.56 |
|
429 |
root |
1.59 |
URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+) |
430 |
root |
1.56 |
|
431 |
root |
1.59 |
Please also note that the *LeftClick Shift-LeftClik* combination also |
432 |

selects words like the old code. |

434 |
root |
1.59 |
I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it? |
435 |
|
|
You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the |
436 |
|
|
perl-ext-common resource to the empty string, which also keeps |
437 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory. |
438 |
root |
1.56 |
|
439 |
root |
1.59 |
If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
440 |
|
|
identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section |
441 |
root |
1.60 |
PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS in the urxvtperl(3) manpage. For example, to |
442 |
root |
1.59 |
disable the selection-popup and option-popup, specify this |
443 |
|
|
perl-ext-common resource: |
444 |
root |
1.56 |
|
445 |
root |
1.59 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup |
446 |
root |
1.56 |
|
447 |
root |
1.59 |
This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup |
448 |
|
|
extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example, |
449 |
|
|
scrollback search mode is triggered by M-s. You can move it to any other |
450 |
|
|
combination either by setting the searchable-scrollback resource: |
451 |
|
|
|
452 |
|
|
URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s |
453 |
|
|

The cursor moves when selecting text in the current input line, how do I switch this off? |
455 |
|

See next entry. |
456 |
|
|
|
457 |
|
|
During rlogin/ssh/telnet/etc. sessions, clicking near the cursor outputs strange escape sequences, how do I fix this? |
458 |
|
|
These are caused by the "readline" perl extension. Under normal |
459 |
|
|
circumstances, it will move your cursor around when you click into the |
460 |
|
|
line that contains it. It tries hard not to do this at the wrong moment, |
461 |
|
|
but when running a program that doesn't parse cursor movements or in |
462 |
|
|
some cases during rlogin sessions, it fails to detect this properly. |
463 |
|
|
|
464 |
|
|
You can permamently switch this feature off by disabling the "readline" |
465 |
|
|
extension: |
466 |
|
|
|
467 |
|
|
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-readline |

My numerical keypad acts weird and generates differing output? |

Some Debian GNUL/Linux users seem to have this problem, although no |

how this can happen are unknown, as "TERM=rxvt" should offer a |

My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working. |
478 |
root |
1.56 |
The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set |
479 |
|
|
correctly, or you specified a preeditStyle that is not supported by your |
480 |
|
|
input method. For example, if you specified OverTheSpot and your input |
481 |
|
|
method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys) does not |
482 |
|
|
support this (for instance because it is not visual), then rxvt-unicode |
483 |
|
|
will continue without an input method. |
484 |
|
|
|
485 |
|
|
In this case either do not specify a preeditStyle or specify more than |
486 |
|
|
one pre-edit style, such as OverTheSpot,Root,None. |

advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for |

other codes, too, such as "Ctrl-Shift-1-d" to type the default telnet |

check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt or Shift keys are |

What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour? |
503 |
|
|
Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the BackSpace |
504 |
|
|
keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following question) there are |
505 |
|
|
two standard values that can be used for Backspace: "^H" and "^?". |
506 |
root |
1.56 |
|
507 |
root |
1.59 |
Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the |
508 |
|
|
debian policy of using "^?" when unsure, because it's the one only only |
509 |
|
|
correct choice :). |
510 |

Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the |
512 |
|
|
value of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode |
513 |
|
|
wasn't started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), |
514 |
|
|
then the system value of `erase', which corresponds to CERASE in |
515 |
|
|
<termios.h>, will be used (which may not be the same as your stty |
516 |
|
|
setting). |

This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but |

if you use Backspace = "^H", make sure that the termcap/terminfo value |

properly reflects that. |

The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace |

547 |
|
|
Execute ("ESC [ 3 ~") and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo. |

I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys. How do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4 has the following map |

|
|
F22 == Print |
590 |

F27 == Home |

Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accommodate all the various |
596 |
|
|
possible keyboard mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap the |
597 |
|
|
keys as required for your particular machine. |

Terminal Configuration |
600 |
|
|
Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources? |
601 |
|
|
Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X |
602 |
|
|
applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads |
603 |
|
|
resources into the X display (the right way to do it), rxvt-unicode will |
604 |
|
|
ignore any resource files in your home directory. It will only read |
605 |
|
|
$HOME/.Xdefaults when no resources are attached to the display. |
606 |
root |
1.56 |
|
607 |
root |
1.59 |
If you have or use an $HOME/.Xresources file, chances are that resources |
608 |
|
|
are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to re-login after |
609 |
|
|
every change (or run xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources). |
610 |
root |
1.56 |
|
611 |
root |
1.59 |
Also consider the form resources have to use: |
612 |
root |
1.56 |
|
613 |
root |
1.59 |
URxvt.resource: value |
614 |
root |
1.56 |
|
615 |
root |
1.59 |
If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of |
616 |
|
|
specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it works. |
617 |
|
|
If unsure, use the form above. |

When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? |
620 |
|
|
The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available |
621 |
|
|
as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often |
622 |
|
|
arises). |
623 |
root |
1.56 |
|
624 |
root |
1.59 |
The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this |
625 |
|
|
can be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp): |
626 |
root |
1.56 |
|
627 |
root |
1.59 |
REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
628 |
|
|
infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" |
629 |
root |
1.56 |
|
630 |
root |
1.59 |
... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system, |
631 |
root |
1.56 |
|
632 |
root |
1.59 |
If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
633 |
|
|
"TERM=rxvt" or even "TERM=xterm", and live with the small number of |
634 |
|
|
problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different |
635 |
|
|
colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice |
636 |
|
|
quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though. |
637 |
root |
1.56 |
|
638 |
root |
1.59 |
If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) you |
639 |
|
|
can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or use a |
640 |
|
|
resource to set it: |
641 |
root |
1.56 |
|
642 |
root |
1.59 |
URxvt.termName: rxvt |
643 |
root |
1.56 |
|
644 |
root |
1.59 |
If you don't plan to use rxvt (quite common...) you could also replace |
645 |
root |
1.62 |
the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one and use "TERM=rxvt". |
646 |
root |
1.56 |
|
647 |
root |
1.59 |
"tic" outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry. |
648 |
|
|
Most likely it's the empty definition for "enacs=". Just replace it by |
649 |
|
|
"enacs=\E[0@" and try again. |

I need a termcap file entry. |
655 |
|
|
One reason you might want this is that some distributions or operating |
656 |
|
|
systems still compile some programs using the long-obsoleted termcap |
657 |
|
|
library (Fedora Core's bash is one example) and rely on a termcap entry |
658 |
|
|
for "rxvt-unicode". |
659 |
|
|
|
660 |
|
|
You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many cases. |
661 |
|
|
You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program |
662 |
|
|
like this: |
663 |
|
|
|
664 |
|
|
infocmp -C rxvt-unicode |
665 |
|
|
|
666 |
|
|
Or you could use this termcap entry, generated by the command above: |
667 |

|

Why does "ls" no longer have coloured output? |
690 |
|
|
The "ls" in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to |
691 |
|
|
decide wether a terminal has colour, but uses it's own configuration |
692 |
|
|
file. Needless to say, "rxvt-unicode" is not in it's default file (among |
693 |
|
|
with most other terminals supporting colour). Either add: |
694 |
|
|
|
695 |
|
|
TERM rxvt-unicode |
696 |
|
|
|
697 |
|
|
to "/etc/DIR_COLORS" or simply add: |
698 |
|
|
|
699 |
|
|
alias ls='ls --color=auto' |
700 |
|
|
|
701 |
|
|
to your ".profile" or ".bashrc". |

Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. use the 88 colour mode? |

|
|
Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. make use of italic? |

Why are the secondary screen-related options not working properly? |
710 |
|
|
Make sure you are using "TERM=rxvt-unicode". Some pre-packaged |
711 |
|
|
distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode by |
712 |
|
|
setting "TERM" to "rxvt", which doesn't have these extra features. |
713 |
|
|
Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian GNU/Linux) |
714 |
|
|
furthermore fail to even install the "rxvt-unicode" terminfo file, so |
715 |
|
|
you will need to install it on your own (See the question When I log-in |
716 |
|
|
to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? on how to do |
717 |
|
|
this). |

Encoding / Locale / Input Method Issues |
720 |
|
|
Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding? |

Unicode does not seem to work? |
724 |
|
|
If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but |
725 |
|
|
getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output |
726 |
|
|
is subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings. |
727 |
root |
1.56 |
|
728 |
root |
1.59 |
Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same "LC_CTYPE" setting as the |
729 |
|
|
programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the "C" locale, while the |
730 |
|
|
login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale |
731 |
|
|
to something else, e.g. "en_GB.UTF-8". Needless to say, this is not |
732 |
|
|
going to work. |
733 |
root |
1.56 |
|
734 |
root |
1.59 |
The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely |
735 |
|
|
run into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your |
736 |
|
|
.profile. |
737 |
root |
1.56 |
|
738 |
root |
1.59 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" |
739 |
root |
1.56 |
|
740 |
root |
1.59 |
If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a "LC_CTYPE" specification not |
741 |
|
|
supported on your systems. Some systems have a "locale" command which |
742 |
|
|
displays this (also, "perl -e0" can be used to check locale settings, as |
743 |
|
|
it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). If it displays |
744 |
|
|
something like: |
745 |
root |
1.56 |
|
746 |
root |
1.59 |
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
747 |
root |
1.56 |
|
748 |
root |
1.59 |
Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
749 |
root |
1.56 |
|
750 |
root |
1.59 |
If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then |
751 |
|
|
you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't |
752 |
|
|
support locales :( |

How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |

|
See next entry. |

root |
1.56 |
|
757 |
root |
1.59 |
Is there an option to switch encodings? |
758 |
|
|
Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no |
759 |
|
|
specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know |
760 |
|
|
about UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O. |
761 |
root |
1.56 |
|
762 |
root |
1.59 |
The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for |
763 |
|
|
selecting the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating |
764 |
|
|
this to all applications so everybody agrees on character properties |
765 |
|
|
such as width and code number. This mechanism is the *locale*. |
766 |
|
|
Applications not using that info will have problems (for example, |
767 |
|
|
"xterm" gets the width of characters wrong as it uses it's own, |
768 |
|
|
locale-independent table under all locales). |
769 |
root |
1.56 |
|
770 |
root |
1.59 |
Rxvt-unicode uses the "LC_CTYPE" locale category to select encoding. All |
771 |
|
|
programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the |
772 |
|
|
interpretation of characters. |
773 |
root |
1.56 |
|
774 |
root |
1.59 |
Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor |
775 |
|
|
is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
776 |
root |
1.56 |
|
777 |
root |
1.59 |
On most systems, the content of the "LC_CTYPE" environment variable |
778 |
|
|
contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed |
779 |
|
|
locale. Common names for locales are "en_US.UTF-8", "de_DE.ISO-8859-15", |
780 |
|
|
"ja_JP.EUC-JP", i.e. "language_country.encoding", but other forms (i.e. |
781 |
|
|
"de" or "german") are also common. |
782 |
root |
1.56 |
|
783 |
root |
1.59 |
Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for the |
784 |
|
|
encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, i.e. |
785 |
|
|
"de_DE.UTF-8" and "ja_JP.UTF-8" are the normally same to rxvt-unicode. |
786 |
root |
1.56 |
|
787 |
root |
1.59 |
If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start |
788 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode with the correct "LC_CTYPE" category. |
789 |
root |
1.56 |
|
790 |
root |
1.59 |
Can I switch locales at runtime? |
791 |
|
|
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |
792 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode's idea of "LC_CTYPE". |
793 |
root |

Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in one |
799 |
|
|
locale (e.g. "de_DE.UTF-8") but some programs don't support it (e.g. |
800 |
|
|
UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start "xjdic", which first |
801 |
|
|
switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
802 |
root |
1.56 |
|
803 |
root |
1.59 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
804 |
|
|
xjdic -js |
805 |
|
|
printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8 |
806 |
root |
1.56 |
|
807 |
root |
1.59 |
You can also use xterm's "luit" program, which usually works fine, |
808 |
|
|
except for some locales where character width differs between program- |
809 |
|
|
and rxvt-unicode-locales. |
810 |
root |
1.56 |
|
811 |
root |
1.59 |
My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do? |
812 |
|
|
You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of |
813 |
|
|
the terminal, using the resource "imlocale": |
814 |
root |
1.56 |
|
815 |
root |
1.59 |
URxvt.imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
816 |
root |
1.56 |
|
817 |
root |
1.59 |
Now you can start your terminal with "LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8" and still |
818 |
|
|
use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able |
819 |
|
|
to input characters outside "EUC-JP" in a normal way then, as your input |
820 |
|
|
method limits you. |
821 |
root |

822 |

Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits. |
823 |
|
|
Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
824 |
|
|
design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
825 |
|
|
leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering at |
826 |
|
|
exit time. kinput2 (and derived input methods) generally succeeds, while |
827 |
|
|
SCIM (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, however, crashes |
828 |

Operating Systems / Package Maintaining |
833 |

I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem... |
834 |
|
|
The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
835 |
|
|
patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode (but |
836 |
|
|
unfortunately this notice has been removed). Before reporting a bug to |
837 |
|
|
the original rxvt-unicode author please download and install the genuine |
838 |
|
|
version (<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce |
839 |
|
|
the problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific |
840 |
|
|
to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the Debian |
841 |
|
|
Bug Tracking System (use "reportbug" to report the bug). |
842 |

For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
844 |
|
|
probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's also a |
845 |
|
|
bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for other users |
846 |
|
|
that might encounter the same issue. |

I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation? |
849 |
|
|
You should build one binary with the default options. configure now |
850 |
|
|
enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
851 |
|
|
runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling |
852 |
|
|
them, except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter |
853 |
|
|
should be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely |
854 |
|
|
more in the future) depends on it. |
855 |
root |
1.56 |
|
856 |
root |
1.59 |
You should not overwrite the "perl-ext-common" snd "perl-ext" resources |
857 |
|
|
system-wide (except maybe with "defaults"). This will result in useful |
858 |
|
|
behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty |
859 |
|
|
"perl-ext-common" resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the |
860 |
|
|
perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it. |
861 |
root |
1.56 |
|
862 |
root |
1.59 |
If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal one |
863 |
|
|
with "--disable-everything" (very useful) and a maximal one with |
864 |
|
|
"--enable-everything" (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of |
865 |
|
|
encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used). |

I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe? |
868 |
|
|
It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly |
869 |
|
|
install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now. |
870 |
root |
1.56 |
|
871 |
root |
1.59 |
When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork |
872 |
|
|
into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some |
873 |
|
|
systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges |
874 |
|
|
immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep |
875 |
|
|
privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains |
876 |
|
|
things as perl interpreters, which might be "helpful" to attackers). |
877 |
root |
1.56 |
|
878 |
root |
1.59 |
This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very |
879 |
|
|
early and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before |
880 |
|
|
main(), or things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should |
881 |
|
|
result in very little risk. |

On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide. |
884 |
|
|
Seems to be a known bug, read |
885 |
|
|
<http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the |
886 |
|
|
following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working: |
887 |

|
888 |

#define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x) |

I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all. |
891 |
|
|
Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol "__STDC_ISO_10646__" to be defined in |
892 |
|
|
your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it, |
893 |
|
|
wether it defines the symbol or not. "__STDC_ISO_10646__" requires that |
894 |
|
|
wchar_t is represented as unicode. |
895 |
root |
1.56 |
|
896 |
root |
1.59 |
As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor |
897 |
|
|
does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of |
898 |
|
|
wchar_t. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards. |
899 |
root |
1.56 |
|
900 |
root |
1.59 |
However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in "POSIX", "ISO-8859-1" and |
901 |
|
|
"UTF-8" locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as wchar_t. |
902 |
root |
1.56 |
|
903 |
root |
1.59 |
"__STDC_ISO_10646__" is the only sane way to support multi-language apps |
904 |
|
|
in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized) |
905 |
|
|
representation of wchar_t makes it impossible to convert between wchar_t |
906 |
|
|
(as used by X11 and your applications) and any other encoding without |
907 |
|
|
implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and every locale. There |
908 |
|
|
simply are no APIs to convert wchar_t into anything except the current |
909 |
|
|
locale encoding. |
910 |
root |
1.56 |
|
911 |
root |
1.59 |
Some applications (such as the formidable mlterm) work around this by |
912 |
|
|
carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling with |
913 |
|
|
them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple |
914 |
|
|
conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the OS implements |
915 |
|
|
encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator). |
916 |
root |
1.56 |
|
917 |
root |

The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the |
918 |
|
|
system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry |
919 |
|
|
complete replacements for them :) |

How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin? |
926 |
|
|
rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using the |
927 |
|
|
X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no longer |
928 |
|
|
supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a single |
929 |
|
|
font). I recommend starting the X-server in "-multiwindow" or |
930 |
|
|
"-rootless" mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as the |
931 |
|
|
old libW11 emulation. |
932 |
root |
1.56 |
|
933 |
root |
1.59 |
At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any |
934 |
|
|
multi-byte encodings (you might try "LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8"), so you are |
935 |
|
|
likely limited to 8-bit encodings. |

CONFIGURE OPTIONS |
1580 |
|
|
General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
1581 |
root |
1.24 |
hasn't been tested well. Either try with "--enable-everything" or use |
1582 |
|
|
the ./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by |
1583 |
|
|
myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you |
1584 |
|
|
should always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be |
1585 |
|
|
fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. |

1588 |
root |
1.1 |
|
1589 |
|
|
--enable-everything |
1590 |
root |
1.24 |
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in |
1591 |
|
|
"./configure --help". |
1592 |
|
|
|
1593 |
|
|
You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by |
1594 |
|
|
*following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or |
1595 |
|
|
you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying |
1596 |
|
|
"--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..." |
1597 |
|
|
arguments you want. |
1598 |
root |
1.1 |
|
1599 |
root |
1.24 |
--enable-xft (default: enabled) |
1600 |
root |
1.1 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
1601 |
|
|
are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
1602 |
|
|
them, you don't pay for them. |
1603 |
|
|
|
1604 |
root |
1.24 |
--enable-font-styles (default: on) |
1605 |
root |
1.1 |
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
1606 |
|
|
fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
1607 |
|
|
|
1608 |
root |
1.24 |
--with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all) |
1609 |
root |
1.19 |
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu", |
1610 |
|
|
"vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character |
1611 |
|
|
sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, |
1612 |
|
|
they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled |
1613 |
|
|
in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently. |
1614 |
|
|
Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost |
1615 |
|
|
about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a |
1616 |
|
|
font requiring one of these encodings. |

|
1625 |
root |
1.24 |
--enable-xim (default: on) |
1626 |
root |
1.1 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
1627 |
|
|
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
1628 |
|
|
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
1629 |
|
|
|
1630 |
root |
1.24 |
--enable-unicode3 (default: off) |
1631 |
root |
1.49 |
Recommended to stay off unless you really need non-BMP characters. |
1632 |
|
|
|
1633 |
root |
1.1 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535 |
1634 |
|
|
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
1635 |
|
|
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
1636 |
|
|
extra characters, but Xft does. |
1637 |
|
|
|
1638 |
|
|
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
1639 |
|
|
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
1640 |
|
|
to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
1641 |
|
|
switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
1642 |
|
|
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
1643 |
|
|
|
1644 |
root |
1.24 |
--enable-combining (default: on) |
1645 |
root |
1.1 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
1646 |
|
|
characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
1647 |
|
|
accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
1648 |
|
|
using precomposited characters when available or creating new |
1649 |
|
|
pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
1650 |
|
|
|
1651 |
|
|
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
1652 |
root |
1.49 |
characters is somewhat limited (the 6400 private use characters will |
1653 |
|
|
be (ab-)used). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
1654 |
root |
1.13 |
|
1655 |
|
|
This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
1656 |
|
|
beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
1657 |
root |
1.1 |
|
1658 |
|
|
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
1659 |
|
|
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
1660 |
root |
1.13 |
be used (and tell me how these are to be used...). |

|
1662 |

--enable-fallback(=CLASS) (default: Rxvt) |
1663 |

|
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS. |
1664 |
|
|
To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback. |
1665 |
|
|
|
1666 |
|
|
--with-res-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
1667 |

Use the given name as default application name when reading |

--with-res-class=CLASS /default: URxvt) |
1671 |
