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
63 Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?
64 I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause
65 extra bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you
66 can see that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables
67 always being compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS)
68 after startup. Even with "--disable-everything", this comparison is
69 a bit unfair, as many features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding
70 conversion, iso14755 etc.) are already in use in this mode.
71
72 text data bss drs rss filename
73 98398 1664 24 15695 1824 rxvt --disable-everything
74 188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything
75
76 When you "--enable-everything" (which _is_ unfair, as this involves
77 xft and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11
78 and my libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so.
79
80 text data bss drs rss filename
81 163431 2152 24 20123 2060 rxvt --enable-everything
82 1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything
83
84 The very large size of the text section is explained by the
85 east-asian encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but
86 nothing else and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core
87 fonts that use those encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k
88 emergency buffer that my c++ compiler allocates (but of course
89 doesn't use unless you are out of memory). Also, using an xft font
90 instead of a core font immediately adds a few megabytes of RSS. Xft
91 indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when not used.
92
93 Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of
94 one, a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use
95 more memory.
96
97 Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k),
98 this still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like
99 gnome-terminal (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or
100 konsole (22200k + extra 43180k in daemons that stay around after
101 exit, plus half a minute of startup time, including the hundreds of
102 warnings it spits out), it fares extremely well *g*.
103
104 Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool?
105 Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is:
106 I had to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a
107 fraction of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me).
108 Put even shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++.
109
110 My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but
111 in the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability
112 limits are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale
113 support and unix domain sockets, which are all less portable than
114 C++ itself.
115
116 Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write
117 programs in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to
118 write programs in C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large
119 libraries, but this is not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is
120 what rxvt links against on my system with a minimal config:
121
122 libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)
123 libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000)
124 libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000)
125 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)
126
127 And here is rxvt-unicode:
128
129 libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000)
130 libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000)
131 libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000)
132 libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000)
133 /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)
134
135 No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in
136 statically), except maybe libX11 :)
137
138 Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?
139 rxvt-unicode does not directly support tabs. It will work fine with
140 tabbing functionality of many window managers or similar tabbing
141 programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be embedded into
142 other programs, as witnessed by doc/rxvt-tabbed or the upcoming
143 "Gtk2::URxvt" perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt (murxvt)
144 terminal as an example embedding application.

39 also a bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for 164 also a bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for
40 other users that might encounter the same issue. 165 other users that might encounter the same issue.
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 It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to
192 properly install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now.
193
194 When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will
195 fork into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling
196 on some systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop
197 privileges immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals
198 that keep privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt,
199 as it contains things as perl interpreters, which might be "helpful"
200 to attackers).
201
202 This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very
203 early and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before
204 main(), or things like the dynamic loader of your system, which
205 should result in very little risk.

507 How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin?
508 rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using
509 the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no
510 longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a
511 single font). I recommend starting the X-server in "-multiwindow" or
512 "-rootless" mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as
513 the old libW11 emulation.
514
515 At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any
516 multi-byte encodings (you might try "LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8"), so you are
517 likely limited to 8-bit encodings.

1193menuBar
1194 The exact syntax used is *almost* solidified. In the menus, DON'T try to
1195 use menuBar commands that add or remove a menuBar.
1196
1197 Note that in all of the commands, the */path/* *cannot* be omitted: use
1198 ./ to specify a menu relative to the current menu.
1199
1200 Overview of menuBar operation
1201 For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence "ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST", the syntax of
1202 "Pt" can be used for a variety of tasks:
1203
1204 At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1205 linked-list of other such menuBars.
1206
1207 The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1208 turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1209
1210 The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1211 input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1212
1213 The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1214 constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the menuBars.
1215
1216 The first step is to use the tag [menu:*name*] which creates the menuBar
1217 called *name* and allows access. You may now or menus, subMenus, and
1218 menuItems. Finally, use the tag [done] to set the menuBar access as
1219 readonly to prevent accidental corruption of the menus. To re-access the
1220 current menuBar for alterations, use the tag [menu], make the
1221 alterations and then use [done]
1222
1223
1224
1225 Commands
1226 [menu:+*name*]
1227 access the named menuBar for creation or alteration. If a new
1228 menuBar is created, it is called *name* (max of 15 chars) and the
1229 current menuBar is pushed onto the stack
1230
1231 [menu]
1232 access the current menuBar for alteration
1233
1234 [title:+*string*]
1235 set the current menuBar's title to *string*, which may contain the
1236 following format specifiers:
1237
1238 B<%n> rxvt name (as per the B<-name> command-line option)
1239 B<%v> rxvt version
1240 B<%%> literal B<%> character
1241
1242 [done]
1243 set menuBar access as readonly. End-of-file tag for [read:+*file*]
1244 operations.
1245
1246 [read:+*file*]
1247 read menu commands directly from *file* (extension ".menu" will be
1248 appended if required.) Start reading at a line with [menu] or
1249 [menu:+*name* and continuing until [done] is encountered.
1250
1251 Blank and comment lines (starting with #) are ignored. Actually,
1252 since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost anything
1253 could be construed as a comment line, but this may be tightened up
1254 in the future ... so don't count on it!.
1255
1256 [read:+*file*;+*name*]
1257 The same as [read:+*file*], but start reading at a line with
1258 [menu:+*name*] and continuing until [done:+*name*] or [done] is
1259 encountered.
1260
1261 [dump]
1262 dump all menuBars to the file /tmp/rxvt-PID in a format suitable for
1263 later rereading.
1264
1265 [rm:name]
1266 remove the named menuBar
1267
1268 [rm] [rm:]
1269 remove the current menuBar
1270
1271 [rm*] [rm:*]
1272 remove all menuBars
1273
1274 [swap]
1275 swap the top two menuBars
1276
1277 [prev]
1278 access the previous menuBar
1279
1280 [next]
1281 access the next menuBar
1282
1283 [show]
1284 Enable display of the menuBar
1285
1286 [hide]
1287 Disable display of the menuBar
1288
1289 [pixmap:+*name*]
1290 [pixmap:+*name*;*scaling*]
1291 (set the background pixmap globally
1292
1293 A Future implementation *may* make this local to the menubar)
1294
1295 [:+*command*:]
1296 ignore the menu readonly status and issue a *command* to or a menu
1297 or menuitem or change the ; a useful shortcut for setting the quick
1298 arrows from a menuBar.
1299
1300
1301
1302 Adding and accessing menus
1303 The following commands may also be + prefixed.
1304
1305 /+ access menuBar top level
1306
1307 ./+ access current menu level
1308
1309 ../+
1310 access parent menu (1 level up)
1311
1312 ../../
1313 access parent menu (multiple levels up)
1314
1315 */path/*menu
1316 add/access menu
1317
1318 */path/*menu/*
1319 add/access menu and clear it if it exists
1320
1321 */path/*{-}
1322 add separator
1323
1324 */path/*{item}
1325 add item as a label
1326
1327 */path/*{item} action
1328 add/alter *menuitem* with an associated *action*
1329
1330 */path/*{item}{right-text}
1331 add/alter *menuitem* with right-text as the right-justified text and
1332 as the associated *action*
1333
1334 */path/*{item}{rtext} action
1335 add/alter *menuitem* with an associated *action* and with rtext as
1336 the right-justified text.
1337
1338 Special characters in *action* must be backslash-escaped:
1339 \a \b \E \e \n \r \t \octal
1340
1341 or in control-character notation:
1342 ^@, ^A .. ^Z .. ^_, ^?
1343
1344 To send a string starting with a NUL (^@) character to the program,
1345 start *action* with a pair of NUL characters (^@^@), the first of which
1346 will be stripped off and the balance directed to the program. Otherwise
1347 if *action* begins with NUL followed by non-+NUL characters, the leading
1348 NUL is stripped off and the balance is sent back to rxvt.
1349
1350 As a convenience for the many Emacs-type editors, *action* may start
1351 with M- (eg, M-$ is equivalent to \E$) and a CR will be appended if
1352 missed from M-x commands.
1353
1354 As a convenience for issuing XTerm ESC ] sequences from a menubar (or
1355 quick arrow), a BEL (^G) will be appended if needed.
1356
1357 For example,
1358 M-xapropos is equivalent to \Exapropos\r
1359
1360 and \E]703;mona;100 is equivalent to \E]703;mona;100\a
1361
1362 The option {*right-rtext*} will be right-justified. In the absence of a
1363 specified action, this text will be used as the *action* as well.
1364
1365 For example,
1366 /File/{Open}{^X^F} is equivalent to /File/{Open}{^X^F} ^X^F
1367
1368 The left label *is* necessary, since it's used for matching, but
1369 implicitly hiding the left label (by using same name for both left and
1370 right labels), or explicitly hiding the left label (by preceeding it
1371 with a dot), makes it possible to have right-justified text only.
1372
1373 For example,
1374 /File/{Open}{Open} Open-File-Action
1375
1376 or hiding it
1377 /File/{.anylabel}{Open} Open-File-Action
1378
1379
1380
1381 Removing menus
1382 -/*+
1383 remove all menus from the menuBar, the same as [clear]
1384
1385 -+*/path*menu+
1386 remove menu
1387
1388 -+*/path*{item}+
1389 remove item
1390
1391 -+*/path*{-}
1392 remove separator)
1393
1394 -/path/menu/*
1395 remove all items, separators and submenus from menu
1396
1397
1398
1399 Quick Arrows
1400 The menus also provide a hook for *quick arrows* to provide easier user
1401 access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to emulate
1402 the curror keys. The syntax permits each arrow to be altered
1403 individually or all four at once without re-entering their common
1404 beginning/end text. For example, to explicitly associate cursor actions
1405 with the arrows, any of the following forms could be used:
1406
1407 <r>+*Right*
1408 <l>+*Left*
1409 <u>+*Up*
1410 <d>+*Down*
1411 Define actions for the respective arrow buttons
1412
1413 <b>+*Begin*
1414 <e>+*End*
1415 Define common beginning/end parts for *quick arrows* which used in
1416 conjunction with the above <r> <l> <u> <d> constructs
1417
1418 For example, define arrows individually,
1419 <u>\E[A
1420
1421 <d>\E[B
1422
1423 <r>\E[C
1424
1425 <l>\E[D
1426
1427 or all at once
1428 <u>\E[AZ<><d>\E[BZ<><r>\E[CZ<><l>\E[D
1429
1430 or more compactly (factoring out common parts)
1431 <b>\E[<u>AZ<><d>BZ<><r>CZ<><l>D
