22FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 22FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
23 The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select
24 single words?
25 Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can
26 use the following resource:
27
28 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)
29
30 If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended more
31 and more.
32
33 To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this
34 pattern:
35
36 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+)
37
38 Please also note that the *LeftClick Shift-LeftClik* combination
39 also selects words like the old code.
40
41 I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I
42 change/disable it?
43 You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
44 perl-ext-common resource to the empty string, which also keeps
45 rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
46
47 If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
48 identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the
49 section PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS in the rxvtperl(3) manpage. For
50 example, to disable the selection-popup and option-popup, specify
51 this perl-ext-common resource:
52
53 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
54
55 This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
56 extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
57 scrollback search mode is triggered by M-s. You can move it to any
58 other combination either by setting the searchable-scrollback
59 resource:
60
61 URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s
62
23 Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat? 63 Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?

166
167 I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any
168 recommendation?
169 You should build one binary with the default options. configure now
170 enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
171 runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling
172 them, except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl
173 interpreter should be enabled, as important functionality (menus,
174 selection, likely more in the future) depends on it.
175
176 You should not overwrite the "perl-ext-common" snd "perl-ext"
177 resources system-wide (except maybe with "defaults"). This will
178 result in useful behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory,
179 add an empty "perl-ext-common" resource to the app-defaults file.
180 This will keep the perl interpreter disabled until the user enables
181 it.
182
183 If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
184 one with "--disable-everything" (very useful) and a maximal one with
185 "--enable-everything" (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot
186 of encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely
187 used).
188
189 I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this
190 safe?
191 Likely not. While I honestly try to make it secure, and am probably
192 not bad at it, I think it is simply unreasonable to expect all of
193 freetype + fontconfig + xft + xlib + perl + ... + rxvt-unicode
194 itself to all be secure. Also, rxvt-unicode disables some options
195 when it detects that it runs setuid or setgid, which is not nice.
196 Besides, with the embedded perl interpreter the possibility for
197 security problems easily multiplies.
198
199 Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on
200 some systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra
201 privileges for ptys, but some need it for utmp support). It is
202 planned to mvoe this into a forked handler process, but this is not
203 yet done.
204
205 So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on
206 your typical single-user-no-other-logins unix desktop, always
207 remember that its an awful lot of code, most of which isn't checked
208 for security issues regularly.

1293menuBar
1294 The exact syntax used is *almost* solidified. In the menus, DON'T try to
1295 use menuBar commands that add or remove a menuBar.
1296
1297 Note that in all of the commands, the */path/* *cannot* be omitted: use
1298 ./ to specify a menu relative to the current menu.
1299
1300 Overview of menuBar operation
1301 For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence "ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST", the syntax of
1302 "Pt" can be used for a variety of tasks:
1303
1304 At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1305 linked-list of other such menuBars.
1306
1307 The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1308 turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1309
1310 The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1311 input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1312
1313 The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1314 constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the menuBars.
1315
1316 The first step is to use the tag [menu:*name*] which creates the menuBar
1317 called *name* and allows access. You may now or menus, subMenus, and
1318 menuItems. Finally, use the tag [done] to set the menuBar access as
1319 readonly to prevent accidental corruption of the menus. To re-access the
1320 current menuBar for alterations, use the tag [menu], make the
1321 alterations and then use [done]
1322
1323
1324
1325 Commands
1326 [menu:+*name*]
1327 access the named menuBar for creation or alteration. If a new
1328 menuBar is created, it is called *name* (max of 15 chars) and the
1329 current menuBar is pushed onto the stack
1330
1331 [menu]
1332 access the current menuBar for alteration
1333
1334 [title:+*string*]
1335 set the current menuBar's title to *string*, which may contain the
1336 following format specifiers:
1337
1338 B<%n> rxvt name (as per the B<-name> command-line option)
1339 B<%v> rxvt version
1340 B<%%> literal B<%> character
1341
1342 [done]
1343 set menuBar access as readonly. End-of-file tag for [read:+*file*]
1344 operations.
1345
1346 [read:+*file*]
1347 read menu commands directly from *file* (extension ".menu" will be
1348 appended if required.) Start reading at a line with [menu] or
1349 [menu:+*name* and continuing until [done] is encountered.
1350
1351 Blank and comment lines (starting with #) are ignored. Actually,
1352 since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost anything
1353 could be construed as a comment line, but this may be tightened up
1354 in the future ... so don't count on it!.
1355
1356 [read:+*file*;+*name*]
1357 The same as [read:+*file*], but start reading at a line with
1358 [menu:+*name*] and continuing until [done:+*name*] or [done] is
1359 encountered.
1360
1361 [dump]
1362 dump all menuBars to the file /tmp/rxvt-PID in a format suitable for
1363 later rereading.
1364
1365 [rm:name]
1366 remove the named menuBar
1367
1368 [rm] [rm:]
1369 remove the current menuBar
1370
1371 [rm*] [rm:*]
1372 remove all menuBars
1373
1374 [swap]
1375 swap the top two menuBars
1376
1377 [prev]
1378 access the previous menuBar
1379
1380 [next]
1381 access the next menuBar
1382
1383 [show]
1384 Enable display of the menuBar
1385
1386 [hide]
1387 Disable display of the menuBar
1388
1389 [pixmap:+*name*]
1390 [pixmap:+*name*;*scaling*]
1391 (set the background pixmap globally
1392
1393 A Future implementation *may* make this local to the menubar)
1394
1395 [:+*command*:]
1396 ignore the menu readonly status and issue a *command* to or a menu
1397 or menuitem or change the ; a useful shortcut for setting the quick
1398 arrows from a menuBar.
1399
1400
1401
1402 Adding and accessing menus
1403 The following commands may also be + prefixed.
1404
1405 /+ access menuBar top level
1406
1407 ./+ access current menu level
1408
1409 ../+
1410 access parent menu (1 level up)
1411
1412 ../../
1413 access parent menu (multiple levels up)
1414
1415 */path/*menu
1416 add/access menu
1417
1418 */path/*menu/*
1419 add/access menu and clear it if it exists
1420
1421 */path/*{-}
1422 add separator
1423
1424 */path/*{item}
1425 add item as a label
1426
1427 */path/*{item} action
1428 add/alter *menuitem* with an associated *action*
1429
1430 */path/*{item}{right-text}
1431 add/alter *menuitem* with right-text as the right-justified text and
1432 as the associated *action*
1433
1434 */path/*{item}{rtext} action
1435 add/alter *menuitem* with an associated *action* and with rtext as
1436 the right-justified text.
1437
1438 Special characters in *action* must be backslash-escaped:
1439 \a \b \E \e \n \r \t \octal
1440
1441 or in control-character notation:
1442 ^@, ^A .. ^Z .. ^_, ^?
1443
1444 To send a string starting with a NUL (^@) character to the program,
1445 start *action* with a pair of NUL characters (^@^@), the first of which
1446 will be stripped off and the balance directed to the program. Otherwise
1447 if *action* begins with NUL followed by non-+NUL characters, the leading
1448 NUL is stripped off and the balance is sent back to rxvt.
1449
1450 As a convenience for the many Emacs-type editors, *action* may start
1451 with M- (eg, M-$ is equivalent to \E$) and a CR will be appended if
1452 missed from M-x commands.
1453
1454 As a convenience for issuing XTerm ESC ] sequences from a menubar (or
1455 quick arrow), a BEL (^G) will be appended if needed.
1456
1457 For example,
1458 M-xapropos is equivalent to \Exapropos\r
1459
1460 and \E]703;mona;100 is equivalent to \E]703;mona;100\a
1461
1462 The option {*right-rtext*} will be right-justified. In the absence of a
1463 specified action, this text will be used as the *action* as well.
1464
1465 For example,
1466 /File/{Open}{^X^F} is equivalent to /File/{Open}{^X^F} ^X^F
1467
1468 The left label *is* necessary, since it's used for matching, but
1469 implicitly hiding the left label (by using same name for both left and
1470 right labels), or explicitly hiding the left label (by preceeding it
1471 with a dot), makes it possible to have right-justified text only.
1472
1473 For example,
1474 /File/{Open}{Open} Open-File-Action
1475
1476 or hiding it
1477 /File/{.anylabel}{Open} Open-File-Action
1478
1479

1483 remove all menus from the menuBar, the same as [clear]
1484

1486 remove menu

1488 -+*/path*{item}+
1489 remove item

1491 -+*/path*{-}
1492 remove separator)
1493
1494 -/path/menu/*
1495 remove all items, separators and submenus from menu
1496
1497
1498
1499 Quick Arrows
1500 The menus also provide a hook for *quick arrows* to provide easier user
1501 access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to emulate
1502 the curror keys. The syntax permits each arrow to be altered
1503 individually or all four at once without re-entering their common
1504 beginning/end text. For example, to explicitly associate cursor actions
1505 with the arrows, any of the following forms could be used:
1506
1507 <r>+*Right*
1508 <l>+*Left*
1509 <u>+*Up*
1510 <d>+*Down*
1511 Define actions for the respective arrow buttons
1512
1513 <b>+*Begin*
1514 <e>+*End*
1515 Define common beginning/end parts for *quick arrows* which used in
1516 conjunction with the above <r> <l> <u> <d> constructs
1517
1518 For example, define arrows individually,
1519 <u>\E[A
1520
1521 <d>\E[B
1522
1523 <r>\E[C
1524
1525 <l>\E[D
1526
1527 or all at once
1528 <u>\E[AZ<><d>\E[BZ<><r>\E[CZ<><l>\E[D
1529
1530 or more compactly (factoring out common parts)
1531 <b>\E[<u>AZ<><d>BZ<><r>CZ<><l>D

1929 might be very small, if nonexistant.
