|
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. |
|
|

|
|
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 :) |

|
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. |

|
|
168 | I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any |
|
|
169 | recommendation? |
|
|
170 | You should build one binary with the default options. configure now |
|
|
171 | enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
|
|
172 | runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling |
|
|
173 | them, except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl |
|
|
174 | interpreter should be enabled, as important functionality (menus, |
|
|
175 | selection, likely more in the future) depends on it. |
|
|
176 | |
|
|
177 | You should not overwrite the "perl-ext-common" snd "perl-ext" |
|
|
178 | resources system-wide (except maybe with "defaults"). This will |
|
|
179 | result in useful behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, |
|
|
180 | add an empty "perl-ext-common" resource to the app-defaults file. |
|
|
181 | This will keep the perl interpreter disabled until the user enables |
|
|
182 | it. |
|
|
183 | |
|
|
184 | If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
|
|
185 | one with "--disable-everything" (very useful) and a maximal one with |
|
|
186 | "--enable-everything" (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot |
|
|
187 | of encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely |
|
|
188 | used). |
|
|
189 | |
|
|
190 | I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this |
|
|
191 | safe? |
|
|
192 | It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to |
|
|
193 | properly install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now. |
|
|
194 | |
|
|
195 | When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will |
|
|
196 | fork into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling |
|
|
197 | on some systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop |
|
|
198 | privileges immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals |
|
|
199 | that keep privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, |
|
|
200 | as it contains things as perl interpreters, which might be "helpful" |
|
|
201 | to attackers). |
|
|
202 | |
|
|
203 | This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very |
|
|
204 | early and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before |
|
|
205 | main(), or things like the dynamic loader of your system, which |
|
|
206 | should result in very little risk. |

508 | How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin? |
|
|
509 | rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
|

510 | the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
|
|
511 | longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
|
|
512 | single font). I recommend starting the X-server in "-multiwindow" or |
|
|
513 | "-rootless" mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as |
|
|
514 | the old libW11 emulation. |

515 | |
|
|
516 | At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any |
|

1193 | menuBar |
|
|
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 |

|
|
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 | |
|

|

|
|
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, |
