FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS |
23 |
I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I |
24 |
change/disable it? |
25 |
You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the |
26 |
perl-ext-common resource to the empty string, which also keeps |
27 |
rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory. |
28 |
|
29 |
If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
30 |
identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the |
31 |
section PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS in the rxvtperl(3) manpage. For |
32 |
example, to disable the selection-popup and option-popup, specify |
33 |
this perl-ext-common resource: |
34 |
|
35 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup |
36 |
|
37 |
This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup |
38 |
extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example, |
39 |
scrollback search mode is triggered by M-s. You can move it to any |
40 |
other combination either by setting the searchable-scrollback |
41 |
resource: |
42 |
|
43 |
URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s |
44 |
|
45 |
Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat? |
46 |
I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause |
47 |
extra bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you |
48 |
can see that the urxvt binary is larger (due to some encoding tables |
49 |
always being compiled in), but it actually uses less memory (RSS) |
50 |
after startup. Even with "--disable-everything", this comparison is |
51 |
a bit unfair, as many features unique to urxvt (locale, encoding |
52 |
conversion, iso14755 etc.) are already in use in this mode. |

56 |
188985 9048 66616 18222 1788 urxvt --disable-everything |
57 |
|
58 |
When you "--enable-everything" (which _is_ unfair, as this involves |
59 |
xft and full locale/XIM support which are quite bloaty inside libX11 |
60 |
and my libc), the two diverge, but not unreasnobaly so. |
61 |

64 |
1035683 49680 66648 29096 3680 urxvt --enable-everything |
65 |
|
66 |
The very large size of the text section is explained by the |
67 |
east-asian encoding tables, which, if unused, take up disk space but |
68 |
nothing else and can be compiled out unless you rely on X11 core |
69 |
fonts that use those encodings. The BSS size comes from the 64k |
70 |
emergency buffer that my c++ compiler allocates (but of course |
71 |
doesn't use unless you are out of memory). Also, using an xft font |
72 |
instead of a core font immediately adds a few megabytes of RSS. Xft |
73 |
indeed is responsible for a lot of RSS even when not used. |
74 |
|
75 |
Of course, due to every character using two or four bytes instead of |
76 |
one, a large scrollback buffer will ultimately make rxvt-unicode use |
77 |
more memory. |
78 |
|
79 |
Compared to e.g. Eterm (5112k), aterm (3132k) and xterm (4680k), |
80 |
this still fares rather well. And compared to some monsters like |
81 |
gnome-terminal (21152k + extra 4204k in separate processes) or |
82 |
konsole (22200k + extra 43180k in daemons that stay around after |
83 |
exit, plus half a minute of startup time, including the hundreds of |
84 |
warnings it spits out), it fares extremely well *g*. |
85 |
|
86 |
Why C++, isn't that unportable/bloated/uncool? |
87 |
Is this a question? :) It comes up very often. The simple answer is: |
88 |
I had to write it, and C++ allowed me to write and maintain it in a |
89 |
fraction of the time and effort (which is a scarce resource for me). |
90 |
Put even shorter: It simply wouldn't exist without C++. |
91 |
|
92 |
My personal stance on this is that C++ is less portable than C, but |
93 |
in the case of rxvt-unicode this hardly matters, as its portability |
94 |
limits are defined by things like X11, pseudo terminals, locale |
95 |
support and unix domain sockets, which are all less portable than |
96 |
C++ itself. |
97 |
|
98 |
Regarding the bloat, see the above question: It's easy to write |
99 |
programs in C that use gobs of memory, an certainly possible to |
100 |
write programs in C++ that don't. C++ also often comes with large |
101 |
libraries, but this is not necessarily the case with GCC. Here is |
102 |
what rxvt links against on my system with a minimal config: |
103 |
|
104 |
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
105 |
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaadde000) |
106 |
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab01d000) |
107 |
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
108 |
|
109 |
And here is rxvt-unicode: |
110 |
|
111 |
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002aaaaabc3000) |
112 |
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002aaaaada2000) |
113 |
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaeb0000) |
114 |
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaab0ee000) |
115 |
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000) |
116 |
|
117 |
No large bloated libraries (of course, none were linked in |
118 |
statically), except maybe libX11 :) |
119 |

120 |
Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode? |
121 |
rxvt-unicode does not directly support tabs. It will work fine with |
122 |
tabbing functionality of many window managers or similar tabbing |
123 |
programs, and its embedding-features allow it to be embedded into |
124 |
other programs, as witnessed by doc/rxvt-tabbed or the upcoming |
125 |
"Gtk2::URxvt" perl module, which features a tabbed urxvt (murxvt) |
126 |
terminal as an example embedding application. |
127 |
|
128 |
How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using? |
129 |
The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape |
130 |
sequence "ESC [ 8 n" sets the window title to the version number. |
131 |
When using the rxvtc client, the version displayed is that of the |
132 |
daemon. |
133 |
|
134 |
I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem... |
135 |
The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
136 |
patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode. |
137 |
Before reporting a bug to the original rxvt-unicode author please |
138 |
download and install the genuine version |
139 |
(<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce the |
140 |
problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific |
141 |
to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the |
142 |
Debian Bug Tracking System (use "reportbug" to report the bug). |
143 |
|
144 |
For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
145 |
probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's |
146 |
also a bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for |
147 |
other users that might encounter the same issue. |
148 |
|
149 |
I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any |
150 |
recommendation? |
151 |
You should build one binary with the default options. configure now |
152 |
enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them |
153 |
runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling |
154 |
them, except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl |
155 |
interpreter should be enabled, as important functionality (menus, |
156 |
selection, likely more in the future) depends on it. |
157 |
|
158 |
You should not overwrite the "perl-ext-common" snd "perl-ext" |
159 |
resources system-wide (except maybe with "defaults"). This will |
160 |
result in useful behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, |
161 |
add an empty "perl-ext-common" resource to the app-defaults file. |
162 |
This will keep the perl interpreter disabled until the user enables |
163 |
it. |
164 |
|
165 |
If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal |
166 |
one with "--disable-everything" (very useful) and a maximal one with |
167 |
"--enable-everything" (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot |
168 |
of encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely |
169 |
used). |
170 |
|
171 |
I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this |
172 |
safe? |
173 |
Likely not. While I honestly try to make it secure, and am probably |
174 |
not bad at it, I think it is simply unreasonable to expect all of |
175 |
freetype + fontconfig + xft + xlib + perl + ... + rxvt-unicode |
176 |
itself to all be secure. Also, rxvt-unicode disables some options |
177 |
when it detects that it runs setuid or setgid, which is not nice. |
178 |
Besides, with the embedded perl interpreter the possibility for |
179 |
security problems easily multiplies. |
180 |
|
181 |
Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on |
182 |
some systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra |
183 |
privileges for ptys, but some need it for utmp support). It is |
184 |
planned to mvoe this into a forked handler process, but this is not |
185 |
yet done. |
186 |
|
187 |
So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on |
188 |
your typical single-user-no-other-logins unix desktop, always |
189 |
remember that its an awful lot of code, most of which isn't checked |
190 |
for security issues regularly. |
191 |
|
192 |
When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? |
193 |
The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely |
194 |
available as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same |
195 |
problem often arises). |
196 |
|
197 |
The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, |
198 |
this can be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp): |
199 |
|
200 |
REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
201 |
infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" |
202 |
|
203 |
... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system, |
204 |
|
205 |
If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
206 |
"TERM=rxvt" or even "TERM=xterm", and live with the small number of |
207 |
problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and |
208 |
different colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen |
209 |
applications. It's a nice quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, |
210 |
though. |
211 |
|
212 |
If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) |
213 |
you can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or |
214 |
use a resource to set it: |
215 |
|
216 |
URxvt.termName: rxvt |
217 |
|
218 |
If you don't plan to use rxvt (quite common...) you could also |
219 |
replace the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one. |
220 |
|
221 |
"tic" outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry. |
222 |
Most likely it's the empty definition for "enacs=". Just replace it |
223 |
by "enacs=\E[0@" and try again. |
224 |
|
225 |
"bash"'s readline does not work correctly under rxvt. |
226 |
I need a termcap file entry. |
227 |
One reason you might want this is that some distributions or |
228 |
operating systems still compile some programs using the |
229 |
long-obsoleted termcap library (Fedora Core's bash is one example) |
230 |
and rely on a termcap entry for "rxvt-unicode". |
231 |
|
232 |
You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many |
233 |
cases. You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's |
234 |
infocmp program like this: |
235 |
|
236 |
infocmp -C rxvt-unicode |
237 |
|
238 |
Or you could use this termcap entry, generated by the command above: |
239 |
|

Why does "ls" no longer have coloured output? |
262 |
The "ls" in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to |
263 |
decide wether a terminal has colour, but uses it's own configuration |
264 |
file. Needless to say, "rxvt-unicode" is not in it's default file |
265 |
(among with most other terminals supporting colour). Either add: |
266 |
|
267 |
TERM rxvt-unicode |
268 |
|
269 |
to "/etc/DIR_COLORS" or simply add: |
270 |
|
271 |
alias ls='ls --color=auto' |
272 |
|
273 |
to your ".profile" or ".bashrc". |
274 |
|
275 |
Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. use the 88 colour mode? |
276 |
Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. make use of italic? |
277 |
Why are the secondary screen-related options not working properly? |
278 |
Make sure you are using "TERM=rxvt-unicode". Some pre-packaged |
279 |
distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode by |
280 |
setting "TERM" to "rxvt", which doesn't have these extra features. |
281 |
Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian GNU/Linux) |
282 |
furthermore fail to even install the "rxvt-unicode" terminfo file, |
283 |
so you will need to install it on your own (See the question When I |
284 |
log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? on |
285 |
how to do this). |
286 |
|
287 |
My numerical keypad acts weird and generates differing output? |
288 |
Some Debian GNUL/Linux users seem to have this problem, although no |
289 |
specific details were reported so far. It is possible that this is |
290 |
caused by the wrong "TERM" setting, although the details of wether |
291 |
and how this can happen are unknown, as "TERM=rxvt" should offer a |
292 |
compatible keymap. See the answer to the previous question, and |
293 |
please report if that helped. |
294 |
|
295 |
Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding? |
296 |
Unicode does not seem to work? |
297 |
If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character |
298 |
but getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program |
299 |
output is subtly garbled, then you should check your locale |
300 |
settings. |
301 |
|
302 |
Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same "LC_CTYPE" setting as the |
303 |
programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the "C" locale, while the |
304 |
login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the |
305 |
locale to something else, e.g. "en_GB.UTF-8". Needless to say, this |
306 |
is not going to work. |
307 |
|
308 |
The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will |
309 |
likely run into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in |
310 |
your .profile. |
311 |
|
312 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" |
313 |
|
314 |
If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a "LC_CTYPE" specification |
315 |
not supported on your systems. Some systems have a "locale" command |
316 |
which displays this (also, "perl -e0" can be used to check locale |
317 |
settings, as it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). |
318 |
If it displays something like: |
319 |
|
320 |
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
321 |
|
322 |
Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
323 |
|
324 |
If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly |
325 |
then you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs |
326 |
just don't support locales :( |
327 |
|
328 |
Why do some characters look so much different than others? |
329 |
How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts? |
330 |
Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is fine. |
331 |
Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
332 |
your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you |
333 |
want to display. |
334 |
|
335 |
rxvt-unicode makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement font. |
336 |
Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
337 |
bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that |
338 |
don't resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the |
339 |
artificial intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it |
340 |
has to believe the font that the characters it claims to contain |
341 |
indeed look correct. |
342 |
|
343 |
In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font |
344 |
list, e.g.: |
345 |
|
346 |
rxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
347 |
|
348 |
When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
349 |
font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to |
350 |
the next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed |
351 |
up this search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the |
352 |
X-server. |
353 |
|
354 |
The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the |
355 |
base font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell |
356 |
size, which must be the same due to the way terminals work. |
357 |
|
358 |
Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
359 |
This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
360 |
rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output |
361 |
is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode |
362 |
first sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese |
363 |
font for display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. |
364 |
Now, many chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, |
365 |
so when the first non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will |
366 |
look for a chinese font -- unfortunately at this point, it will |
367 |
still use the japanese font for chinese characters that are also in |
368 |
the japanese font. |

The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your |
371 |
font list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font |
372 |
list as a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a |
373 |
japanese font first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font |
374 |
first. |
375 |
|
376 |
In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
377 |
runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using |
378 |
different fonts for the same character at the same time, but no |
379 |
interface for this has been designed yet). |
380 |
|
381 |
Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see |
382 |
"Can I switch the fonts at runtime?" later in this document). |
383 |
|
384 |
Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings? |
385 |
Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that |
386 |
character size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for |
387 |
terminal use might contain some characters that are simply too wide. |
388 |
Rxvt-unicode will avoid these characters. For characters that are |
389 |
just "a bit" too wide a special "careful" rendering mode is used |
390 |
that redraws adjacent characters. |
391 |
|
392 |
All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
393 |
however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed |
394 |
bounding box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the |
395 |
correct way is to ask for the character bounding box, which |
396 |
unfortunately is wrong in these cases). |
397 |
|
398 |
It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, |
399 |
freetype, or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you |
400 |
might try using the "-lsp" option to give the font more height. If |
401 |
that doesn't work, you might be forced to use a different font. |
402 |
|
403 |
All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their |
404 |
bounding box data is correct. |
405 |
|
406 |
On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide. |
407 |
Seems to be a known bug, read |
408 |
<http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the |
409 |
following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working: |
410 |
|
411 |
#define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x) |
412 |
|
413 |
My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working. |
414 |
The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not |
415 |
set correctly, or you specified a preeditStyle that is not supported |
416 |
by your input method. For example, if you specified OverTheSpot and |
417 |
your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose |
418 |
keys) does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), |
419 |
then rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method. |
420 |
|
421 |
In this case either do not specify a preeditStyle or specify more |
422 |
than one pre-edit style, such as OverTheSpot,Root,None. |
423 |
|
424 |
I cannot type "Ctrl-Shift-2" to get an ASCII NUL character due to ISO |
425 |
14755 |
426 |
Either try "Ctrl-2" alone (it often is mapped to ASCII NUL even on |
427 |
international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your |
428 |
advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for |
429 |
other codes, too, such as "Ctrl-Shift-1-d" to type the default |
430 |
telnet escape character and so on. |
431 |
|
432 |
How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much? |
433 |
First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal |
434 |
settings ("TERM=rxvt-unicode"), which will get rid of most of these |
435 |
effects. Then make sure you have specified colours for italic and |
436 |
bold, as otherwise rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate |
437 |
the effect: |
438 |
|
439 |
URxvt.colorBD: white |
440 |
URxvt.colorIT: green |
441 |
|
442 |
Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how |
443 |
can I fix that? |
444 |
For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very |
445 |
weird colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than |
446 |
the standard 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, |
447 |
of course, to fix these programs not to assume non-ISO colours |
448 |
without very good reasons. |
449 |
|
450 |
In the meantime, you can either edit your "rxvt-unicode" terminfo |
451 |
definition to only claim 8 colour support or use "TERM=rxvt", which |
452 |
will fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode |
453 |
features. |
454 |
|
455 |
I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all. |
456 |
Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol "__STDC_ISO_10646__" to be defined |
457 |
in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements |
458 |
it, wether it defines the symbol or not. "__STDC_ISO_10646__" |
459 |
requires that wchar_t is represented as unicode. |
460 |
|
461 |
As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl |
462 |
nor does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal |
463 |
representation of wchar_t. This is, of course, completely fine with |
464 |
respect to standards. |
465 |
|
466 |
However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in "POSIX", "ISO-8859-1" |
467 |
and "UTF-8" locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as wchar_t. |
468 |
|
469 |
"__STDC_ISO_10646__" is the only sane way to support multi-language |
470 |
apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized) |
471 |
representation of wchar_t makes it impossible to convert between |
472 |
wchar_t (as used by X11 and your applications) and any other |
473 |
encoding without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and |
474 |
every locale. There simply are no APIs to convert wchar_t into |
475 |
anything except the current locale encoding. |
476 |
|
477 |
Some applications (such as the formidable mlterm) work around this |
478 |
by carrying their own replacement functions for character set |
479 |
handling with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or |
480 |
doing multiple conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the |
481 |
OS implements encodings slightly different than the terminal |
482 |
emulator). |
483 |
|
484 |
The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in |
485 |
the system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app |
486 |
to carry complete replacements for them :) |
487 |
|
488 |
I use Solaris 9 and it doesn't compile/work/etc. |
489 |
Try the diff in doc/solaris9.patch as a base. It fixes the worst |
490 |
problems with "wcwidth" and a compile problem. |
491 |
|
492 |
How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin? |
493 |
rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
494 |
the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
495 |
longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
496 |
single font). I recommend starting the X-server in "-multiwindow" or |
497 |
"-rootless" mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as |
498 |
the old libW11 emulation. |
499 |
|
500 |
At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any |
501 |
multi-byte encodings (you might try "LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8"), so you are |
502 |
likely limited to 8-bit encodings. |
503 |
|
504 |
How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |
505 |
Is there an option to switch encodings? |
506 |
Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, |
507 |
and no specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't |
508 |
even know about UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to |
509 |
terminal I/O. |
510 |
|
511 |
The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for |
512 |
selecting the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating |
513 |
this to all applications so everybody agrees on character properties |
514 |
such as width and code number. This mechanism is the *locale*. |
515 |
Applications not using that info will have problems (for example, |
516 |
"xterm" gets the width of characters wrong as it uses it's own, |
517 |
locale-independent table under all locales). |
518 |
|
519 |
Rxvt-unicode uses the "LC_CTYPE" locale category to select encoding. |
520 |
All programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree |
521 |
in the interpretation of characters. |
522 |
|
523 |
Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, |
524 |
nor is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
525 |
|
526 |
On most systems, the content of the "LC_CTYPE" environment variable |
527 |
contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an |
528 |
already-installed locale. Common names for locales are |
529 |
"en_US.UTF-8", "de_DE.ISO-8859-15", "ja_JP.EUC-JP", i.e. |
530 |
"language_country.encoding", but other forms (i.e. "de" or "german") |
531 |
are also common. |
532 |
|
533 |
Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for the |
534 |
encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, i.e. |
535 |
"de_DE.UTF-8" and "ja_JP.UTF-8" are the normally same to |
536 |
rxvt-unicode. |
537 |
|
538 |
If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you |
539 |
start rxvt-unicode with the correct "LC_CTYPE" category. |
540 |
|
541 |
Can I switch locales at runtime? |
542 |
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |
543 |
rxvt-unicode's idea of "LC_CTYPE". |
544 |
|
545 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
546 |
|
547 |
See also the previous answer. |
548 |
|
549 |
Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in |
550 |
one locale (e.g. "de_DE.UTF-8") but some programs don't support it |
551 |
(e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start "xjdic", which |
552 |
first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
553 |
|
554 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
555 |
xjdic -js |
556 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8 |
557 |
|
558 |
You can also use xterm's "luit" program, which usually works fine, |
559 |
except for some locales where character width differs between |
560 |
program- and rxvt-unicode-locales. |
561 |
|
562 |
Can I switch the fonts at runtime? |
563 |
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has |
564 |
the same effect as using the "-fn" switch, and takes effect |
565 |
immediately: |
566 |
|
567 |
printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
568 |
|
569 |
This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer |
570 |
a japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, |
571 |
where japanese fonts would only be in your way. |
572 |
|
573 |
You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching. |
574 |
|
575 |
Why do italic characters look as if clipped? |
576 |
Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
577 |
example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font "xft:Bitstream Vera |
578 |
Sans Mono" completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround might |
579 |
be to enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this: |
580 |
|
581 |
URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
582 |
URxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true |
583 |
|
584 |
My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do? |
585 |
You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest |
586 |
of the terminal, using the resource "imlocale": |
587 |
|
588 |
URxvt*imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
589 |
|
590 |
Now you can start your terminal with "LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8" and |
591 |
still use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not |
592 |
be able to input characters outside "EUC-JP" in a normal way then, |
593 |
as your input method limits you. |
594 |
|
595 |
Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits. |
596 |
Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
597 |
design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
598 |
leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering |
599 |
at exit time. kinput2 (and derived input methods) generally |
600 |
succeeds, while SCIM (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, |
601 |
however, crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides |
602 |
cooperate. |
603 |
|
604 |
So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers. |
605 |
|
606 |
Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that? |
607 |
Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for |
608 |
something you don't use. One thing you should try is to configure |
609 |
out all settings that you don't need, for example, Xft support is a |
610 |
resource hog by design, when used. Compiling it out ensures that no |
611 |
Xft font will be loaded accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find |
612 |
a font for your characters. |
613 |
|
614 |
Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger |
615 |
scrollback buffers: Without "--enable-unicode3", rxvt-unicode will |
616 |
use 6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to |
617 |
almost a kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will |
618 |
then (if full) use 10 Megabytes of memory. With "--enable-unicode3" |
619 |
it gets worse, as rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell. |
620 |
|
621 |
Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow? |
622 |
Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, |
623 |
as it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to |
624 |
disable antialiasing (by appending ":antialias=false"), which saves |
625 |
lots of memory and also speeds up rendering considerably. |
626 |
|
627 |
Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong? |
628 |
Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
629 |
fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
630 |
fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It |
631 |
has antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author |
632 |
thinks they look best that way. |
633 |
|
634 |
If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually. |
635 |
|
636 |
Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works. |
637 |
Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing |
638 |
some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. |
639 |
I've heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise |
640 |
specified. A quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt |
641 |
or Shift keys are depressed. See rxvt(7) |
642 |
|
643 |
What's with this bold/blink stuff? |
644 |
If no bold colour is set via "colorBD:", bold will invert text using |
645 |
the standard foreground colour. |
646 |
|
647 |
For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the |
648 |
text blink when compiled with "--enable-blinking". with standard |
649 |
colours. Without "--enable-blinking", the blink attribute will be |
650 |
ignored. |
651 |
|
652 |
On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set |
653 |
high-intensity foreground/background colors. |
654 |
|
655 |
color0-7 are the low-intensity colors. |
656 |
|
657 |
color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors. |
658 |
|
659 |
I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them? |
660 |
You can change the screen colors at run-time using ~/.Xdefaults |
661 |
resources (or as long-options). |
662 |
|
663 |
Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen, |
664 |
including the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow: |
665 |
|
666 |
URxvt.color0: #000000 |
667 |
URxvt.color1: #A80000 |
668 |

How can I start rxvtd in a race-free way? |
707 |
Try "rxvtd -f -o", which tells rxvtd to open the display, create the |
708 |
listening socket and then fork. |
709 |
|
710 |
What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour? |
711 |
Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
712 |
BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
713 |
question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
714 |
Backspace: "^H" and "^?". |
715 |
|
716 |
Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the |
717 |
debian policy of using "^?" when unsure, because it's the one only |
718 |
only correct choice :). |
719 |
|
720 |
Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the |
721 |
value of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode |
722 |
wasn't started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote |
723 |
shell), then the system value of `erase', which corresponds to |
724 |
CERASE in <termios.h>, will be used (which may not be the same as |
725 |
your stty setting). |
726 |
|
727 |
For starting a new rxvt-unicode: |
728 |
|
729 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
730 |
$ stty erase ^H |
731 |
$ rxvt |
732 |
|
733 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
734 |
$ stty erase ^? |
735 |
$ rxvt |
736 |
|
737 |
Toggle with "ESC [ 36 h" / "ESC [ 36 l" as documented in rxvt(7). |
738 |
|
739 |
For an existing rxvt-unicode: |
740 |
|
741 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
742 |
$ stty erase ^H |
743 |
$ echo -n "^[[36h" |
744 |
|
745 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
746 |
$ stty erase ^? |
747 |
$ echo -n "^[[36l" |
748 |
|
749 |
This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, |
750 |
but if you use Backspace = "^H", make sure that the termcap/terminfo |
751 |
value properly reflects that. |
752 |
|
753 |
The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace |
754 |
problem. To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, |
755 |
the Delete key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the |
756 |
vt100 for Execute ("ESC [ 3 ~") and is in the supplied |
757 |
termcap/terminfo. |
758 |
|
759 |
Some other Backspace problems: |
760 |
|
761 |
some editors use termcap/terminfo, some editors (vim I'm told) |
762 |
expect Backspace = ^H, GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for |
763 |
help. |
764 |
|
765 |
Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner. |
766 |
|

I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them? |
768 |
There are some compile-time selections available via configure. |
769 |
Unless you have run "configure" with the "--disable-resources" |
770 |
option you can use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings |
771 |
associated with keysyms. |

I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys. How |
800 |
do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4 has the |
801 |
following mappings that rxvt-unicode doesn't recognize. |
802 |
KP_Insert == Insert |
803 |
F22 == Print |
804 |
F27 == Home |
805 |
F29 == Prior |
806 |
F33 == End |
807 |
F35 == Next |
808 |
|
809 |
Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accommodate all the various |
810 |
possible keyboard mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap |
811 |
the keys as required for your particular machine. |
812 |
|
813 |
How do I distinguish wether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? |
814 |
I need this to decide about setting colors etc. |
815 |
rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you |
816 |
can check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, |
817 |
slrn, Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide |
818 |
whether or not to use color. |
819 |
|
820 |
How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable? |
821 |
If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled |
822 |
insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
823 |
snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of |
824 |
rxvt-unicode wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in |
825 |
these snippets) then the COLORTERM variable can be used to |
826 |
distinguish rxvt-unicode from a regular xterm. |
827 |

[ ${TERM:-foo} = foo ] && TERM=xterm # assume an xterm if we don't know |
833 |

834 |

How do I compile the manual pages for myself? |
845 |
You need to have a recent version of perl installed as |
846 |
/usr/bin/perl, one that comes with pod2man, pod2text and pod2html. |
847 |
Then go to the doc subdirectory and enter "make alldoc". |

My question isn't answered here, can I ask a human? |
850 |
Before sending me mail, you could go to IRC: "irc.freenode.net", |
851 |
channel "#rxvt-unicode" has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might |
852 |
be interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not |
853 |
FAQs :). |

menuBar |
1361 |
The exact syntax used is *almost* solidified. In the menus, DON'T try to |
1362 |
use menuBar commands that add or remove a menuBar. |
1363 |
|
1364 |
Note that in all of the commands, the */path/* *cannot* be omitted: use |
1365 |
./ to specify a menu relative to the current menu. |
1366 |
|
1367 |
Overview of menuBar operation |
1368 |
For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence "ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST", the syntax of |
1369 |
"Pt" can be used for a variety of tasks: |
1370 |
|
1371 |
At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular |
1372 |
linked-list of other such menuBars. |
1373 |
|
1374 |
The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in |
1375 |
turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus. |
1376 |
|
1377 |
The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard |
1378 |
input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt. |
1379 |
|
1380 |
The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of |
1381 |
constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the menuBars. |
1382 |
|
1383 |
The first step is to use the tag [menu:*name*] which creates the menuBar |
1384 |
called *name* and allows access. You may now or menus, subMenus, and |
1385 |
menuItems. Finally, use the tag [done] to set the menuBar access as |
1386 |
readonly to prevent accidental corruption of the menus. To re-access the |
1387 |
current menuBar for alterations, use the tag [menu], make the |
1388 |
alterations and then use [done] |
1389 |
|
1390 |
|
1391 |
|
1392 |
Commands |
1393 |
[menu:+*name*] |
1394 |
access the named menuBar for creation or alteration. If a new |
1395 |
menuBar is created, it is called *name* (max of 15 chars) and the |
1396 |
current menuBar is pushed onto the stack |
1397 |
|
1398 |
[menu] |
1399 |
access the current menuBar for alteration |
1400 |
|
1401 |
[title:+*string*] |
1402 |
set the current menuBar's title to *string*, which may contain the |
1403 |
following format specifiers: |
1404 |
|
1405 |
B<%n> rxvt name (as per the B<-name> command-line option) |
1406 |
B<%v> rxvt version |
1407 |
B<%%> literal B<%> character |
1408 |
|
1409 |
[done] |
1410 |
set menuBar access as readonly. End-of-file tag for [read:+*file*] |
1411 |
operations. |
1412 |
|
1413 |
[read:+*file*] |
1414 |
read menu commands directly from *file* (extension ".menu" will be |
1415 |
appended if required.) Start reading at a line with [menu] or |
1416 |
[menu:+*name* and continuing until [done] is encountered. |
1417 |
|
1418 |
Blank and comment lines (starting with #) are ignored. Actually, |
1419 |
since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost anything |
1420 |
could be construed as a comment line, but this may be tightened up |
1421 |
in the future ... so don't count on it!. |
1422 |
|
1423 |
[read:+*file*;+*name*] |
1424 |
The same as [read:+*file*], but start reading at a line with |
1425 |
[menu:+*name*] and continuing until [done:+*name*] or [done] is |
1426 |
encountered. |
1427 |
|
1428 |
[dump] |
1429 |
dump all menuBars to the file /tmp/rxvt-PID in a format suitable for |
1430 |
later rereading. |
1431 |
|
1432 |
[rm:name] |
1433 |
remove the named menuBar |
1434 |
|
1435 |
[rm] [rm:] |
1436 |
remove the current menuBar |
1437 |
|
1438 |
[rm*] [rm:*] |
1439 |
remove all menuBars |
1440 |
|
1441 |
[swap] |
1442 |
swap the top two menuBars |
1443 |
|
1444 |
[prev] |
1445 |
access the previous menuBar |
1446 |
|
1447 |
[next] |
1448 |
access the next menuBar |
1449 |
|
1450 |
[show] |
1451 |
Enable display of the menuBar |
1452 |
|
1453 |
[hide] |
1454 |
Disable display of the menuBar |
1455 |
|
1456 |
[pixmap:+*name*] |
1457 |
[pixmap:+*name*;*scaling*] |
1458 |
(set the background pixmap globally |
1459 |
|
1460 |
A Future implementation *may* make this local to the menubar) |
1461 |
|
1462 |
[:+*command*:] |
1463 |
ignore the menu readonly status and issue a *command* to or a menu |
1464 |
or menuitem or change the ; a useful shortcut for setting the quick |
1465 |
arrows from a menuBar. |
1466 |
|
1467 |
|
1468 |
|
1469 |
Adding and accessing menus |
1470 |
The following commands may also be + prefixed. |
1471 |
|
1472 |
/+ access menuBar top level |
1473 |
|
1474 |
./+ access current menu level |
1475 |
|
1476 |
../+ |
1477 |
access parent menu (1 level up) |
1478 |
|
1479 |
../../ |
1480 |
access parent menu (multiple levels up) |
1481 |
|
1482 |
*/path/*menu |
1483 |
add/access menu |
1484 |
|
1485 |
*/path/*menu/* |
1486 |
add/access menu and clear it if it exists |
1487 |
|
1488 |
*/path/*{-} |
1489 |
add separator |
1490 |
|
1491 |
*/path/*{item} |
1492 |
add item as a label |
1493 |
|
1494 |
*/path/*{item} action |
1495 |
add/alter *menuitem* with an associated *action* |
1496 |
|
1497 |
*/path/*{item}{right-text} |
1498 |
add/alter *menuitem* with right-text as the right-justified text and |
1499 |
as the associated *action* |
1500 |
|
1501 |
*/path/*{item}{rtext} action |
1502 |
add/alter *menuitem* with an associated *action* and with rtext as |
1503 |
the right-justified text. |
1504 |
|
1505 |
Special characters in *action* must be backslash-escaped: |
1506 |
\a \b \E \e \n \r \t \octal |
1507 |
|
1508 |
or in control-character notation: |
1509 |
^@, ^A .. ^Z .. ^_, ^? |
1510 |
|
1511 |
To send a string starting with a NUL (^@) character to the program, |
1512 |
start *action* with a pair of NUL characters (^@^@), the first of which |
1513 |
will be stripped off and the balance directed to the program. Otherwise |
1514 |
if *action* begins with NUL followed by non-+NUL characters, the leading |
1515 |
NUL is stripped off and the balance is sent back to rxvt. |
1516 |
|
1517 |
As a convenience for the many Emacs-type editors, *action* may start |
1518 |
with M- (eg, M-$ is equivalent to \E$) and a CR will be appended if |
1519 |
missed from M-x commands. |
1520 |
|
1521 |
As a convenience for issuing XTerm ESC ] sequences from a menubar (or |
1522 |
quick arrow), a BEL (^G) will be appended if needed. |
1523 |
|
1524 |
For example, |
1525 |
M-xapropos is equivalent to \Exapropos\r |
1526 |
|
1527 |
and \E]703;mona;100 is equivalent to \E]703;mona;100\a |
1528 |
|
1529 |
The option {*right-rtext*} will be right-justified. In the absence of a |
1530 |
specified action, this text will be used as the *action* as well. |
1531 |
|
1532 |
For example, |
1533 |
/File/{Open}{^X^F} is equivalent to /File/{Open}{^X^F} ^X^F |
1534 |
|
1535 |
The left label *is* necessary, since it's used for matching, but |
1536 |
implicitly hiding the left label (by using same name for both left and |
1537 |
right labels), or explicitly hiding the left label (by preceeding it |
1538 |
with a dot), makes it possible to have right-justified text only. |
1539 |
|
1540 |
For example, |
1541 |
/File/{Open}{Open} Open-File-Action |
1542 |
|
1543 |
or hiding it |
1544 |
/File/{.anylabel}{Open} Open-File-Action |
1545 |
|
1546 |
|
1547 |
|
1548 |
Removing menus |
1549 |
-/*+ |
1550 |
remove all menus from the menuBar, the same as [clear] |
1551 |
|
1552 |
-+*/path*menu+ |
1553 |
remove menu |
1554 |
|
1555 |
-+*/path*{item}+ |
1556 |
remove item |
1557 |
|
1558 |
-+*/path*{-} |
1559 |
remove separator) |
1560 |
|
1561 |
-/path/menu/* |
1562 |
remove all items, separators and submenus from menu |
1563 |
|
1564 |
|
1565 |
|
1566 |
Quick Arrows |
1567 |
The menus also provide a hook for *quick arrows* to provide easier user |
1568 |
access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to emulate |
1569 |
the curror keys. The syntax permits each arrow to be altered |
1570 |
individually or all four at once without re-entering their common |
1571 |
beginning/end text. For example, to explicitly associate cursor actions |
1572 |
with the arrows, any of the following forms could be used: |
1573 |
|
1574 |
<r>+*Right* |
1575 |
<l>+*Left* |
1576 |
<u>+*Up* |
1577 |
<d>+*Down* |
1578 |
Define actions for the respective arrow buttons |
1579 |
|
1580 |
<b>+*Begin* |
1581 |
<e>+*End* |
1582 |
Define common beginning/end parts for *quick arrows* which used in |
1583 |
conjunction with the above <r> <l> <u> <d> constructs |
1584 |
|
1585 |
For example, define arrows individually, |
1586 |
<u>\E[A |
1587 |
|
1588 |
<d>\E[B |
1589 |
|
1590 |
<r>\E[C |
1591 |
|
1592 |
<l>\E[D |
1593 |
|
1594 |
or all at once |
1595 |
<u>\E[AZ<><d>\E[BZ<><r>\E[CZ<><l>\E[D |
1596 |
|
1597 |
or more compactly (factoring out common parts) |
1598 |
<b>\E[<u>AZ<><d>BZ<><r>CZ<><l>D |

CONFIGURE OPTIONS |
1830 |
General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
1831 |
hasn't been tested well. Either try with "--enable-everything" or use |
1832 |
the ./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by |
1833 |
myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you |
1834 |
should always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be |
1835 |
fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. |
1836 |
|
1837 |
All |
1838 |
|
1839 |
--enable-everything |
1840 |
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in |
1841 |
"./configure --help". |
1842 |
|
1843 |
You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by |
1844 |
*following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or |
1845 |
you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying |
1846 |
"--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..." |
1847 |
arguments you want. |
1848 |
|
1849 |
--enable-xft (default: enabled) |
1850 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
1851 |
are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
1852 |
them, you don't pay for them. |
1853 |
|
1854 |
--enable-font-styles (default: on) |
1855 |
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
1856 |
fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
1857 |
|
1858 |
--with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all) |
1859 |
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu", |
1860 |
"vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character |
1861 |
sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, |
1862 |
they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled |
1863 |
in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently. |
1864 |
Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost |
1865 |
about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a |
1866 |
font requiring one of these encodings. |
1867 |
|
1868 |
all all available codeset groups |
1869 |
zh common chinese encodings |
1870 |
zh_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs |
1871 |
jp common japanese encodings |
1872 |
jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings |
1873 |
kr korean encodings |
1874 |
|
1875 |
--enable-xim (default: on) |
1876 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
1877 |
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
1878 |
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
1879 |
|
1880 |
--enable-unicode3 (default: off) |
1881 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535 |
1882 |
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
1883 |
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
1884 |
extra characters, but Xft does. |
1885 |
|
1886 |
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
1887 |
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
1888 |
to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
1889 |
switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
1890 |
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
1891 |
|
1892 |
--enable-combining (default: on) |
1893 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
1894 |
characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
1895 |
accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
1896 |
using precomposited characters when available or creating new |
1897 |
pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
1898 |
|
1899 |
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
1900 |
characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt-unicode |
1901 |
will use the private use area, extending the number of combinations |
1902 |
to 8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
1903 |
|
1904 |
This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
1905 |
beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
1906 |
|
1907 |
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
1908 |
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
1909 |
be used (and tell me how these are to be used...). |
1910 |
|
1911 |
--enable-fallback(=CLASS) (default: Rxvt) |
1912 |
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class CLASS. |
1913 |
To disable resource fallback use --disable-fallback. |
1914 |
|
1915 |
--with-res-name=NAME (default: urxvt) |
1916 |
Use the given name as default application name when reading |
1917 |
resources. Specify --with-res-name=rxvt to replace rxvt. |
1918 |
|
1919 |
--with-res-class=CLASS /default: URxvt) |
1920 |
Use the given class as default application class when reading |
1921 |
resources. Specify --with-res-class=Rxvt to replace rxvt. |
1922 |
|
1923 |
--enable-utmp (default: on) |
1924 |
Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like w) at start |
1925 |
of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits. |
1926 |
|
1927 |
--enable-wtmp (default: on) |
1928 |
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like last) at |
1929 |
start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits. This |
1930 |
option requires --enable-utmp to also be specified. |
1931 |
|
1932 |
--enable-lastlog (default: on) |
1933 |
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like lastlogin) |
1934 |
at start of rxvt execution. This option requires --enable-utmp to |
1935 |
also be specified. |
1936 |
|
1937 |
--enable-xpm-background (default: on) |
1938 |
Add support for XPM background pixmaps. |
1939 |
|
1940 |
--enable-transparency (default: on) |
1941 |
Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake |
1942 |
transparency to the term. |
1943 |
|
1944 |
--enable-fading (default: on) |
1945 |
Add support for fading the text when focus is lost (requires |
1946 |
"--enable-transparency"). |
1947 |
|
1948 |
--enable-tinting (default: on) |
1949 |
Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds (requires |
1950 |
"--enable-transparency"). |
1951 |
|
1952 |
--enable-menubar (default: off) [DEPRECATED] |
1953 |
Add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with |
1954 |
dynamic locale switching currently). This option is DEPRECATED and |
1955 |
will be removed in the future. |
1956 |
|
1957 |
--enable-rxvt-scroll (default: on) |
1958 |
Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar. |
1959 |
|
1960 |
--enable-next-scroll (default: on) |
1961 |
Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar. |
1962 |

--enable-xterm-scroll (default: on) |
1964 |
Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar. |
1965 |
|
1966 |
--enable-plain-scroll (default: on) |
1967 |
Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that is |
1968 |
the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for many |
1969 |
years. |
1970 |
|
1971 |
--enable-half-shadow (default: off) |
1972 |
Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height. |
1973 |
only applicable to rxvt scrollbars. |
1974 |
|
1975 |
--enable-ttygid (default: off) |
1976 |
Change tty device setting to group "tty" - only use this if your |
1977 |
system uses this type of security. |
1978 |
|
1979 |
--disable-backspace-key |
1980 |
Removes any handling of the backspace key by us - let the X server |
1981 |
do it. |
1982 |
|
1983 |
--disable-delete-key |
1984 |
Removes any handling of the delete key by us - let the X server do |
1985 |
it. |
1986 |
|
1987 |
--disable-resources |
1988 |
Removes any support for resource checking. |
1989 |
|
1990 |
--enable-strings (default: off) |
1991 |
Add support for our possibly faster memset() function and other |
1992 |
various routines, overriding your system's versions which may have |
1993 |
been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries to link |
1994 |
in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many GNU/Linux |
1995 |
systems). |
1996 |
|
1997 |
--disable-swapscreen |
1998 |
Remove support for secondary/swap screen. |
1999 |
|
2000 |
--enable-frills (default: on) |
2001 |
Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice |
2002 |
to have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may |
2003 |
want to disable this. |
2004 |
|
2005 |
A non-exhaustive list of features enabled by "--enable-frills" |
2006 |
(possibly in combination with other switches) is: |

Use Gray Watson's malloc - which is good for debugging See |
2048 |
http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this |
