FREQUENTLY 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. |

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 |

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. |
145 |
|
146 |
How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using? |
147 |
The version number is displayed with the usage (-h). Also the escape |
148 |
sequence "ESC [ 8 n" sets the window title to the version number. |
149 |
When using the rxvtc client, the version displayed is that of the |
150 |
daemon. |
151 |
|
152 |
I am using Debian GNU/Linux and have a problem... |
153 |
The Debian GNU/Linux package of rxvt-unicode in sarge contains large |
154 |
patches that considerably change the behaviour of rxvt-unicode. |
155 |
Before reporting a bug to the original rxvt-unicode author please |
156 |
download and install the genuine version |
157 |
(<http://software.schmorp.de#rxvt-unicode>) and try to reproduce the |
158 |
problem. If you cannot, chances are that the problems are specific |
159 |
to Debian GNU/Linux, in which case it should be reported via the |
160 |
Debian Bug Tracking System (use "reportbug" to report the bug). |
161 |
|
162 |
For other problems that also affect the Debian package, you can and |
163 |
probably should use the Debian BTS, too, because, after all, it's |
164 |
also a bug in the Debian version and it serves as a reminder for |
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 |
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. |
209 |
|
210 |
When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? |
211 |
The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely |
212 |
available as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same |
213 |
problem often arises). |
214 |
|
215 |
The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, |
216 |
this can be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp): |
217 |
|
218 |
REMOTE=remotesystem.domain |
219 |
infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti" |
220 |
|
221 |
... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system, |
222 |
|
223 |
If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set |
224 |
"TERM=rxvt" or even "TERM=xterm", and live with the small number of |
225 |
problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and |
226 |
different colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen |
227 |
applications. It's a nice quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, |
228 |
though. |
229 |
|
230 |
If you always want to do this (and are fine with the consequences) |
231 |
you can either recompile rxvt-unicode with the desired TERM value or |
232 |
use a resource to set it: |
233 |
|
234 |
URxvt.termName: rxvt |
235 |
|
236 |
If you don't plan to use rxvt (quite common...) you could also |
237 |
replace the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one. |
238 |
|
239 |
"tic" outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry. |
240 |
Most likely it's the empty definition for "enacs=". Just replace it |
241 |
by "enacs=\E[0@" and try again. |
242 |
|
243 |
"bash"'s readline does not work correctly under rxvt. |
244 |
I need a termcap file entry. |
245 |
One reason you might want this is that some distributions or |
246 |
operating systems still compile some programs using the |
247 |
long-obsoleted termcap library (Fedora Core's bash is one example) |
248 |
and rely on a termcap entry for "rxvt-unicode". |
249 |
|
250 |
You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many |
251 |
cases. You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's |
252 |
infocmp program like this: |
253 |
|
254 |
infocmp -C rxvt-unicode |
255 |
|
256 |
Or you could use this termcap entry, generated by the command above: |
257 |

Why does "ls" no longer have coloured output? |
280 |
The "ls" in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to |
281 |
decide wether a terminal has colour, but uses it's own configuration |
282 |
file. Needless to say, "rxvt-unicode" is not in it's default file |
283 |
(among with most other terminals supporting colour). Either add: |
284 |
|
285 |
TERM rxvt-unicode |
286 |
|
287 |
to "/etc/DIR_COLORS" or simply add: |
288 |
|
289 |
alias ls='ls --color=auto' |
290 |
|
291 |
to your ".profile" or ".bashrc". |
292 |
|
293 |
Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. use the 88 colour mode? |
294 |
Why doesn't vim/emacs etc. make use of italic? |
295 |
Why are the secondary screen-related options not working properly? |
296 |
Make sure you are using "TERM=rxvt-unicode". Some pre-packaged |
297 |
distributions (most notably Debian GNU/Linux) break rxvt-unicode by |
298 |
setting "TERM" to "rxvt", which doesn't have these extra features. |
299 |
Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian GNU/Linux) |
300 |
furthermore fail to even install the "rxvt-unicode" terminfo file, |
301 |
so you will need to install it on your own (See the question When I |
302 |
log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data? on |
303 |
how to do this). |
304 |
|
305 |
My numerical keypad acts weird and generates differing output? |
306 |
Some Debian GNUL/Linux users seem to have this problem, although no |
307 |
specific details were reported so far. It is possible that this is |
308 |
caused by the wrong "TERM" setting, although the details of wether |
309 |
and how this can happen are unknown, as "TERM=rxvt" should offer a |
310 |
compatible keymap. See the answer to the previous question, and |
311 |
please report if that helped. |
312 |
|
313 |
Rxvt-unicode does not seem to understand the selected encoding? |
314 |
Unicode does not seem to work? |
315 |
If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character |
316 |
but getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program |
317 |
output is subtly garbled, then you should check your locale |
318 |
settings. |
319 |
|
320 |
Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same "LC_CTYPE" setting as the |
321 |
programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the "C" locale, while the |
322 |
login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the |
323 |
locale to something else, e.g. "en_GB.UTF-8". Needless to say, this |
324 |
is not going to work. |
325 |
|
326 |
The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will |
327 |
likely run into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in |
328 |
your .profile. |
329 |
|
330 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' "$LC_CTYPE" |
331 |
|
332 |
If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a "LC_CTYPE" specification |
333 |
not supported on your systems. Some systems have a "locale" command |
334 |
which displays this (also, "perl -e0" can be used to check locale |
335 |
settings, as it will complain loudly if it cannot set the locale). |
336 |
If it displays something like: |
337 |
|
338 |
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ... |
339 |
|
340 |
Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system. |
341 |
|
342 |
If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly |
343 |
then you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs |
344 |
just don't support locales :( |
345 |
|
346 |
Why do some characters look so much different than others? |
347 |
How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts? |
348 |
Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is fine. |
349 |
Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of |
350 |
your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you |
351 |
want to display. |
352 |
|
353 |
rxvt-unicode makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement font. |
354 |
Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks |
355 |
bad/ugly/wrong. Some fonts have totally strange characters that |
356 |
don't resemble the correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the |
357 |
artificial intelligence to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it |
358 |
has to believe the font that the characters it claims to contain |
359 |
indeed look correct. |
360 |
|
361 |
In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font |
362 |
list, e.g.: |
363 |
|
364 |
rxvt -fn basefont,font2,font3... |
365 |
|
366 |
When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base |
367 |
font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to |
368 |
the next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed |
369 |
up this search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the |
370 |
X-server. |
371 |
|
372 |
The only limitation is that none of the fonts may be larger than the |
373 |
base font, as the base font defines the terminal character cell |
374 |
size, which must be the same due to the way terminals work. |
375 |
|
376 |
Why do some chinese characters look so different than others? |
377 |
This is because there is a difference between script and language -- |
378 |
rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output |
379 |
is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode |
380 |
first sees a japanese/chinese character, it might choose a japanese |
381 |
font for display. Subsequent japanese characters will use that font. |
382 |
Now, many chinese characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, |
383 |
so when the first non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will |
384 |
look for a chinese font -- unfortunately at this point, it will |
385 |
still use the japanese font for chinese characters that are also in |
386 |
the japanese font. |
387 |
|
388 |
The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your |
389 |
font list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font |
390 |
list as a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a |
391 |
japanese font first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font |
392 |
first. |
393 |
|
394 |
In the future it might be possible to switch language preferences at |
395 |
runtime (the internal data structure has no problem with using |
396 |
different fonts for the same character at the same time, but no |
397 |
interface for this has been designed yet). |
398 |
|
399 |
Until then, you might get away with switching fonts at runtime (see |
400 |
"Can I switch the fonts at runtime?" later in this document). |
401 |
|
402 |
Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings? |
403 |
Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that |
404 |
character size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for |
405 |
terminal use might contain some characters that are simply too wide. |
406 |
Rxvt-unicode will avoid these characters. For characters that are |
407 |
just "a bit" too wide a special "careful" rendering mode is used |
408 |
that redraws adjacent characters. |
409 |
|
410 |
All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes, |
411 |
however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed |
412 |
bounding box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the |
413 |
correct way is to ask for the character bounding box, which |
414 |
unfortunately is wrong in these cases). |
415 |
|
416 |
It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, |
417 |
freetype, or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you |
418 |
might try using the "-lsp" option to give the font more height. If |
419 |
that doesn't work, you might be forced to use a different font. |
420 |
|
421 |
All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their |
422 |
bounding box data is correct. |
423 |
|
424 |
On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide. |
425 |
Seems to be a known bug, read |
426 |
<http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the |
427 |
following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working: |
428 |
|
429 |
#define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x) |
430 |
|
431 |
My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working. |
432 |
The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not |
433 |
set correctly, or you specified a preeditStyle that is not supported |
434 |
by your input method. For example, if you specified OverTheSpot and |
435 |
your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose |
436 |
keys) does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), |
437 |
then rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method. |
438 |
|
439 |
In this case either do not specify a preeditStyle or specify more |
440 |
than one pre-edit style, such as OverTheSpot,Root,None. |
441 |
|
442 |
I cannot type "Ctrl-Shift-2" to get an ASCII NUL character due to ISO |
443 |
14755 |
444 |
Either try "Ctrl-2" alone (it often is mapped to ASCII NUL even on |
445 |
international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your |
446 |
advantage, typing <Ctrl-Shift-0> to get a ASCII NUL. This works for |
447 |
other codes, too, such as "Ctrl-Shift-1-d" to type the default |
448 |
telnet escape character and so on. |
449 |
|
450 |
How can I keep rxvt-unicode from using reverse video so much? |
451 |
First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminal |
452 |
settings ("TERM=rxvt-unicode"), which will get rid of most of these |
453 |
effects. Then make sure you have specified colours for italic and |
454 |
bold, as otherwise rxvt-unicode might use reverse video to simulate |
455 |
the effect: |
456 |
|
457 |
URxvt.colorBD: white |
458 |
URxvt.colorIT: green |
459 |
|
460 |
Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how |
461 |
can I fix that? |
462 |
For some unexplainable reason, some rare programs assume a very |
463 |
weird colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than |
464 |
the standard 8 colours (rxvt-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, |
465 |
of course, to fix these programs not to assume non-ISO colours |
466 |
without very good reasons. |
467 |
|
468 |
In the meantime, you can either edit your "rxvt-unicode" terminfo |
469 |
definition to only claim 8 colour support or use "TERM=rxvt", which |
470 |
will fix colours but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode |
471 |
features. |
472 |
|
473 |
I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all. |
474 |
Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol "__STDC_ISO_10646__" to be defined |
475 |
in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements |
476 |
it, wether it defines the symbol or not. "__STDC_ISO_10646__" |
477 |
requires that wchar_t is represented as unicode. |
478 |
|
479 |
As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl |
480 |
nor does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal |
481 |
representation of wchar_t. This is, of course, completely fine with |
482 |
respect to standards. |
483 |
|
484 |
However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in "POSIX", "ISO-8859-1" |
485 |
and "UTF-8" locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as wchar_t. |
486 |
|
487 |
"__STDC_ISO_10646__" is the only sane way to support multi-language |
488 |
apps in an OS, as using a locale-dependent (and non-standardized) |
489 |
representation of wchar_t makes it impossible to convert between |
490 |
wchar_t (as used by X11 and your applications) and any other |
491 |
encoding without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and |
492 |
every locale. There simply are no APIs to convert wchar_t into |
493 |
anything except the current locale encoding. |
494 |
|
495 |
Some applications (such as the formidable mlterm) work around this |
496 |
by carrying their own replacement functions for character set |
497 |
handling with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or |
498 |
doing multiple conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the |
499 |
OS implements encodings slightly different than the terminal |
500 |
emulator). |
501 |
|
502 |
The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in |
503 |
the system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app |
504 |
to carry complete replacements for them :) |
505 |
|
506 |
I use Solaris 9 and it doesn't compile/work/etc. |
507 |
Try the diff in doc/solaris9.patch as a base. It fixes the worst |
508 |
problems with "wcwidth" and a compile problem. |
509 |
|
510 |
How can I use rxvt-unicode under cygwin? |
511 |
rxvt-unicode should compile and run out of the box on cygwin, using |
512 |
the X11 libraries that come with cygwin. libW11 emulation is no |
513 |
longer supported (and makes no sense, either, as it only supported a |
514 |
single font). I recommend starting the X-server in "-multiwindow" or |
515 |
"-rootless" mode instead, which will result in similar look&feel as |
516 |
the old libW11 emulation. |
517 |
|
518 |
At the time of this writing, cygwin didn't seem to support any |
519 |
multi-byte encodings (you might try "LC_CTYPE=C-UTF-8"), so you are |
520 |
likely limited to 8-bit encodings. |
521 |
|
522 |
How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use? |
523 |
Is there an option to switch encodings? |
524 |
Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, |
525 |
and no specific "utf-8" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't |
526 |
even know about UTF-8 or any other encodings with respect to |
527 |
terminal I/O. |
528 |
|
529 |
The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for |
530 |
selecting the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating |
531 |
this to all applications so everybody agrees on character properties |
532 |
such as width and code number. This mechanism is the *locale*. |
533 |
Applications not using that info will have problems (for example, |
534 |
"xterm" gets the width of characters wrong as it uses it's own, |
535 |
locale-independent table under all locales). |
536 |
|
537 |
Rxvt-unicode uses the "LC_CTYPE" locale category to select encoding. |
538 |
All programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree |
539 |
in the interpretation of characters. |
540 |
|
541 |
Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, |
542 |
nor is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like. |
543 |
|
544 |
On most systems, the content of the "LC_CTYPE" environment variable |
545 |
contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an |
546 |
already-installed locale. Common names for locales are |
547 |
"en_US.UTF-8", "de_DE.ISO-8859-15", "ja_JP.EUC-JP", i.e. |
548 |
"language_country.encoding", but other forms (i.e. "de" or "german") |
549 |
are also common. |
550 |
|
551 |
Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for the |
552 |
encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings, i.e. |
553 |
"de_DE.UTF-8" and "ja_JP.UTF-8" are the normally same to |
554 |
rxvt-unicode. |
555 |
|
556 |
If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you |
557 |
start rxvt-unicode with the correct "LC_CTYPE" category. |
558 |
|
559 |
Can I switch locales at runtime? |
560 |
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which sets |
561 |
rxvt-unicode's idea of "LC_CTYPE". |
562 |
|
563 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
564 |
|
565 |
See also the previous answer. |
566 |
|
567 |
Sometimes this capability is rather handy when you want to work in |
568 |
one locale (e.g. "de_DE.UTF-8") but some programs don't support it |
569 |
(e.g. UTF-8). For example, I use this script to start "xjdic", which |
570 |
first switches to a locale supported by xjdic and back later: |
571 |
|
572 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' ja_JP.SJIS |
573 |
xjdic -js |
574 |
printf '\e]701;%s\007' de_DE.UTF-8 |
575 |
|
576 |
You can also use xterm's "luit" program, which usually works fine, |
577 |
except for some locales where character width differs between |
578 |
program- and rxvt-unicode-locales. |
579 |
|
580 |
Can I switch the fonts at runtime? |
581 |
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try something like this, which has |
582 |
the same effect as using the "-fn" switch, and takes effect |
583 |
immediately: |
584 |
|
585 |
printf '\e]50;%s\007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic" |
586 |
|
587 |
This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer |
588 |
a japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, |
589 |
where japanese fonts would only be in your way. |
590 |
|
591 |
You can think of this as a kind of manual ISO-2022 switching. |
592 |
|
593 |
Why do italic characters look as if clipped? |
594 |
Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For |
595 |
example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font "xft:Bitstream Vera |
596 |
Sans Mono" completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround might |
597 |
be to enable freetype autohinting, i.e. like this: |
598 |
|
599 |
URxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true |
600 |
URxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true |
601 |
|
602 |
My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do? |
603 |
You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest |
604 |
of the terminal, using the resource "imlocale": |
605 |
|
606 |
URxvt.imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP |
607 |
|
608 |
Now you can start your terminal with "LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8" and |
609 |
still use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not |
610 |
be able to input characters outside "EUC-JP" in a normal way then, |
611 |
as your input method limits you. |
612 |
|
613 |
Rxvt-unicode crashes when the X Input Method changes or exits. |
614 |
Unfortunately, this is unavoidable, as the XIM protocol is racy by |
615 |
design. Applications can avoid some crashes at the expense of memory |
616 |
leaks, and Input Methods can avoid some crashes by careful ordering |
617 |
at exit time. kinput2 (and derived input methods) generally |
618 |
succeeds, while SCIM (or similar input methods) fails. In the end, |
619 |
however, crashes cannot be completely avoided even if both sides |
620 |
cooperate. |
621 |
|
622 |
So the only workaround is not to kill your Input Method Servers. |
623 |
|
624 |
Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that? |
625 |
Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for |
626 |
something you don't use. One thing you should try is to configure |
627 |
out all settings that you don't need, for example, Xft support is a |
628 |
resource hog by design, when used. Compiling it out ensures that no |
629 |
Xft font will be loaded accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find |
630 |
a font for your characters. |
631 |
|
632 |
Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger |
633 |
scrollback buffers: Without "--enable-unicode3", rxvt-unicode will |
634 |
use 6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to |
635 |
almost a kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will |
636 |
then (if full) use 10 Megabytes of memory. With "--enable-unicode3" |
637 |
it gets worse, as rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell. |
638 |
|
639 |
Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow? |
640 |
Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, |
641 |
as it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to |
642 |
disable antialiasing (by appending ":antialias=false"), which saves |
643 |
lots of memory and also speeds up rendering considerably. |
644 |
|
645 |
Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong? |
646 |
Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to |
647 |
fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core |
648 |
fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It |
649 |
has antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author |
650 |
thinks they look best that way. |
651 |
|
652 |
If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually. |
653 |
|
654 |
Mouse cut/paste suddenly no longer works. |
655 |
Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing |
656 |
some editors prematurely may leave the mouse in mouse report mode. |
657 |
I've heard that tcsh may use mouse reporting unless it otherwise |
658 |
specified. A quick check is to see if cut/paste works when the Alt |
659 |
or Shift keys are depressed. |
660 |
|
661 |
What's with this bold/blink stuff? |
662 |
If no bold colour is set via "colorBD:", bold will invert text using |
663 |
the standard foreground colour. |
664 |
|
665 |
For the standard background colour, blinking will actually make the |
666 |
text blink when compiled with "--enable-blinking". with standard |
667 |
colours. Without "--enable-blinking", the blink attribute will be |
668 |
ignored. |
669 |
|
670 |
On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set |
671 |
high-intensity foreground/background colors. |
672 |
|
673 |
color0-7 are the low-intensity colors. |
674 |
|
675 |
color8-15 are the corresponding high-intensity colors. |
676 |
|
677 |
I don't like the screen colors. How do I change them? |
678 |
You can change the screen colors at run-time using ~/.Xdefaults |
679 |
resources (or as long-options). |
680 |
|
681 |
Here are values that are supposed to resemble a VGA screen, |
682 |
including the murky brown that passes for low-intensity yellow: |
683 |
|
684 |
URxvt.color0: #000000 |
685 |
URxvt.color1: #A80000 |
686 |

How can I start rxvtd in a race-free way? |
725 |
Try "rxvtd -f -o", which tells rxvtd to open the display, create the |
726 |
listening socket and then fork. |
727 |
|
728 |
What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour? |
729 |
Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the |
730 |
BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following |
731 |
question) there are two standard values that can be used for |
732 |
Backspace: "^H" and "^?". |
733 |
|
734 |
Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the |
735 |
debian policy of using "^?" when unsure, because it's the one only |
736 |
only correct choice :). |
737 |
|
738 |
Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the |
739 |
value of `erase' to guess the value for backspace. If rxvt-unicode |
740 |
wasn't started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote |
741 |
shell), then the system value of `erase', which corresponds to |
742 |
CERASE in <termios.h>, will be used (which may not be the same as |
743 |
your stty setting). |
744 |
|
745 |
For starting a new rxvt-unicode: |
746 |
|
747 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
748 |
$ stty erase ^H |
749 |
$ rxvt |
750 |
|
751 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
752 |
$ stty erase ^? |
753 |
$ rxvt |
754 |
|
755 |
Toggle with "ESC [ 36 h" / "ESC [ 36 l". |
756 |
|
757 |
For an existing rxvt-unicode: |
758 |
|
759 |
# use Backspace = ^H |
760 |
$ stty erase ^H |
761 |
$ echo -n "^[[36h" |
762 |
|
763 |
# use Backspace = ^? |
764 |
$ stty erase ^? |
765 |
$ echo -n "^[[36l" |
766 |
|
767 |
This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, |
768 |
but if you use Backspace = "^H", make sure that the termcap/terminfo |
769 |
value properly reflects that. |
770 |
|
771 |
The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace |
772 |
problem. To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, |
773 |
the Delete key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the |
774 |
vt100 for Execute ("ESC [ 3 ~") and is in the supplied |
775 |
termcap/terminfo. |
776 |
|
777 |
Some other Backspace problems: |
778 |
|
779 |
some editors use termcap/terminfo, some editors (vim I'm told) |
780 |
expect Backspace = ^H, GNU Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for |
781 |
help. |
782 |
|
783 |
Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner. |
784 |
|
785 |
I don't like the key-bindings. How do I change them? |
786 |
There are some compile-time selections available via configure. |
787 |
Unless you have run "configure" with the "--disable-resources" |
788 |
option you can use the `keysym' resource to alter the keystrings |
789 |
associated with keysyms. |

I'm using keyboard model XXX that has extra Prior/Next/Insert keys. How |
818 |
do I make use of them? For example, the Sun Keyboard type 4 has the |
819 |
following mappings that rxvt-unicode doesn't recognize. |
820 |
KP_Insert == Insert |
821 |
F22 == Print |
822 |
F27 == Home |
823 |
F29 == Prior |
824 |
F33 == End |
825 |
F35 == Next |
826 |
|
827 |
Rather than have rxvt-unicode try to accommodate all the various |
828 |
possible keyboard mappings, it is better to use `xmodmap' to remap |
829 |
the keys as required for your particular machine. |
830 |
|
831 |
How do I distinguish wether I'm running rxvt-unicode or a regular xterm? |
832 |
I need this to decide about setting colors etc. |
833 |
rxvt and rxvt-unicode always export the variable "COLORTERM", so you |
834 |
can check and see if that is set. Note that several programs, JED, |
835 |
slrn, Midnight Commander automatically check this variable to decide |
836 |
whether or not to use color. |
837 |
|
838 |
How do I set the correct, full IP address for the DISPLAY variable? |
839 |
If you've compiled rxvt-unicode with DISPLAY_IS_IP and have enabled |
840 |
insecure mode then it is possible to use the following shell script |
841 |
snippets to correctly set the display. If your version of |
842 |
rxvt-unicode wasn't also compiled with ESCZ_ANSWER (as assumed in |
843 |
these snippets) then the COLORTERM variable can be used to |
844 |
distinguish rxvt-unicode from a regular xterm. |
845 |

How do I compile the manual pages for myself? |
863 |
You need to have a recent version of perl installed as |
864 |
/usr/bin/perl, one that comes with pod2man, pod2text and pod2html. |
865 |
Then go to the doc subdirectory and enter "make alldoc". |

My question isn't answered here, can I ask a human? |

Before sending me mail, you could go to IRC: "irc.freenode.net", |
869 |
channel "#rxvt-unicode" has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might |
870 |
be interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not |
871 |
FAQs :). |

CONFIGURE OPTIONS |
1515 |
General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration |
1516 |
hasn't been tested well. Either try with "--enable-everything" or use |
1517 |
the ./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by |
1518 |
myself, so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you |
1519 |
should always report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be |
1520 |
fixed. Marc Lehmann <rxvt@schmorp.de>. |
1521 |
|
1522 |
All |
1523 |
|
1524 |
--enable-everything |
1525 |
Add (or remove) support for all non-multichoice options listed in |
1526 |
"./configure --help". |
1527 |
|
1528 |
You can specify this and then disable options you do not like by |
1529 |
*following* this with the appropriate "--disable-..." arguments, or |
1530 |
you can start with a minimal configuration by specifying |
1531 |
"--disable-everything" and than adding just the "--enable-..." |
1532 |
arguments you want. |
1533 |
|
1534 |
--enable-xft (default: enabled) |
1535 |
Add support for Xft (anti-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts |
1536 |
are slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use |
1537 |
them, you don't pay for them. |
1538 |
|
1539 |
--enable-font-styles (default: on) |
1540 |
Add support for bold, *italic* and *bold italic* font styles. The |
1541 |
fonts can be set manually or automatically. |
1542 |
|
1543 |
--with-codesets=NAME,... (default: all) |
1544 |
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups ("eu", |
1545 |
"vn" are always compiled in, which includes most 8-bit character |
1546 |
sets). These codeset tables are used for driving X11 core fonts, |
1547 |
they are not required for Xft fonts, although having them compiled |
1548 |
in lets rxvt-unicode choose replacement fonts more intelligently. |
1549 |
Compiling them in will make your binary bigger (all of together cost |
1550 |
about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless you use a |
1551 |
font requiring one of these encodings. |
1552 |
|
1553 |
all all available codeset groups |
1554 |
zh common chinese encodings |
1555 |
zh_ext rarely used but very big chinese encodigs |
1556 |
jp common japanese encodings |
1557 |
jp_ext rarely used but big japanese encodings |
1558 |
kr korean encodings |
1559 |
|
1560 |
--enable-xim (default: on) |
1561 |
Add support for XIM (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using |
1562 |
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly set |
1563 |
up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys. |
1564 |
|
1565 |
--enable-unicode3 (default: off) |
1566 |
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above 65535 |
1567 |
(the basic multilingual page). This increases storage requirements |
1568 |
per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet support these |
1569 |
extra characters, but Xft does. |
1570 |
|
1571 |
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535 |
1572 |
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is limited |
1573 |
to a view thousand (shared with combining characters, see next |
1574 |
switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them |
1575 |
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though). |
1576 |
|
1577 |
--enable-combining (default: on) |
1578 |
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into composite |
1579 |
characters. This is required for proper viewing of text where |
1580 |
accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is done by |
1581 |
using precomposited characters when available or creating new |
1582 |
pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists. |
1583 |
|
1584 |
Without --enable-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed |
1585 |
characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt-unicode |
1586 |
will use the private use area, extending the number of combinations |
1587 |
to 8448). With --enable-unicode3, no practical limit exists. |
1588 |
|
1589 |
This option will also enable storage (but not display) of characters |
1590 |
beyond plane 0 (>65535) when --enable-unicode3 was not specified. |
1591 |
|
1592 |
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation |
1593 |
forms, but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to |
1594 |
be used (and tell me how these are to be used...). |
1595 |
