6 rxvt (ouR XVT) \- a VT102 emulator for the X window system
10 \fBrxvt\fP [options] [-e command [ args ]]
14 \fBrxvt\fP, version \fBRXVTVERSION()\fP, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator
15 intended as an \fIxterm\fP(1) replacement for users who do not require
16 features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability\&.
17 As a result, \fBrxvt\fP uses much less swap space -- a significant
18 advantage on a machine serving many X sessions\&.
23 The \fBrxvt\fP options (mostly a subset of \fIxterm\fP\&'s) are listed below\&.
24 In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be eliminated
25 or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and defaults listed
26 may not accurately reflect the version installed on your system\&.
27 `rxvt -h\&' gives a list of major compile-time options on the \fIOptions\fP line\&.
28 Option descriptions may be prefixed with which compile option each is
29 dependent upon\&. e\&.g\&. `Compile \fIXIM\fP:\&' requires \fIXIM\fP on the \fIOptions\fP
30 line\&. Note: `rxvt -help\&' gives a list of all command-line options compiled
33 Note that \fBrxvt\fP permits the resource name to be used as a long-option
34 (--/++ option) so the potential command-line options are far greater than
36 For example: `rxvt --loginShell --color1 Orange\&'\&.
38 Also note that if you do not explictly specify a font (\fB-fn\fP and \fB-fm\fP)
39 or a multichar encoding method (\fB-km\fP), rxvt will select a font for the
40 preferable encoding according to your locale\&. Supported encodings are:
41 \fBISO-8859-\fPn (n=\fB1\fP\&.\&.\&.\fB15\fP), \fBKOI8-R\fP, \fBKOI8-U\fP, \fBEUC-JP\fP,
42 \fBShift_JIS\fP, \fBEUC-KR\fP, \fBEUC-CN\fP (aka \fBGB\fP), and \fBBig5\fP\&.

207 in some window managers\&.
208 .SH "RESOURCES (available also as long-options)"
210 Note: `rxvt --help\&' gives a list of all resources (long options) compiled
212 If compiled with internal Xresources support (i\&.e\&. \fBrxvt -h\fP lists
213 \fB\&.Xdefaults\fP) then \fBrxvt\fP accepts application defaults set in
214 XAPPLOADDIR/Rxvt (compile-time defined: usually
215 \fB/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt\fP) and resources set in \fB~/\&.Xdefaults\fP,
216 or \fB~/\&.Xresources\fP if \fB~/\&.Xdefaults\fP does not exist\&. Note that when
217 reading X resources, \fBrxvt\fP recognizes two class names: \fBXTerm\fP and
218 \fBRxvt\fP\&. The class name \fBXTerm\fP allows resources common to both
219 \fBrxvt\fP and \fIxterm\fP to be easily configured, while the class name
220 \fBRxvt\fP allows resources unique to \fBrxvt\fP, notably colours and
221 key-handling, to be shared between different \fBrxvt\fP configurations\&.
222 If no resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used\&.
223 Command-line arguments can be used to override resource settings\&. The
224 following resources are allowed:

289 image centre (percent)\&. A scale of 0 displays the image with tiling\&.
290 A scale of 1 displays the image without any scaling\&. A scale of 2 to
291 9 specifies an integer number of images in that direction\&. No image

713 .IP "\fBanswerbackString:\fP \fIstring\fP"
714 Specify the reply rxvt sends to the shell when an ENQ (control-E)
715 character is passed through\&. It may contain escape values as
716 described in the entry on \fBkeysym\fP following\&.
717 .IP "\fBkeysym\&.\fP\fIsym\fP: \fIstring\fP"
718 Associate \fIstring\fP with keysym \fIsym\fP (\fB0xFF00 - 0xFFFF\fP)\&. It
719 may contain escape values (\ea: bell, \eb: backspace, \ee, \eE: escape,
720 \en: newline, \er: return, \et: tab, \e000: octal number) or control
721 characters (^?: delete, ^@: null, ^A \&.\&.\&.) and may enclosed with
722 double quotes so that it can start or end with whitespace\&. The
723 intervening resource name \fBkeysym\&.\fP cannot be omitted\&. This
724 resource is only available when compiled with KEYSYM_RESOURCE\&.
727 Lines of text that scroll off the top of the \fBrxvt\fP window (resource:
728 \fBsaveLines\fP) and can be scrolled back using the scrollbar or by keystrokes\&.
729 The normal \fBrxvt\fP scrollbar has arrows and its behaviour is fairly
730 intuitive\&. The \fBxterm-scrollbar\fP is without arrows and its behaviour
731 mimics that of \fIxterm\fP
733 Scroll down with \fBButton1\fP (\fBxterm-scrollbar\fP) or \fBShift-Next\fP\&.
734 Scroll up with \fBButton3\fP (\fBxterm-scrollbar\fP) or \fBShift-Prior\fP\&.
735 Continuous scroll with \fBButton2\fP\&.
736 .SH "MOUSE REPORTING"
738 To temporarily override mouse reporting, for either the scrollbar or the
739 normal text selection/insertion, hold either the Shift or the Meta (Alt) key
740 while performing the desired mouse action\&.
742 If mouse reporting mode is active, the normal scrollbar actions are disabled
743 -- on the assumption that we are using a fullscreen application\&.
744 Instead, pressing Button1 and Button3 sends
745 \fBESC[6~\fP (Next) and \fBESC[5~\fP (Prior), respectively\&.
746 Similarly, clicking on the up and down arrows sends \fBESC[A\fP (Up) and
747 \fBESC[B\fP (Down), respectively\&.
748 .SH "TEXT SELECTION AND INSERTION"
750 The behaviour of text selection and insertion mechanism is similar to
753 .IP "\fBSelection\fP:"
754 Left click at the beginning of the region, drag to the end of the
755 region and release; Right click to extend the marked region;
756 Left double-click to select a word; Left triple-click to select
758 .IP "\fBInsertion\fP:"
759 Pressing and releasing the Middle mouse button (or \fBShift-Insert\fP)
760 in an \fBrxvt\fP window causes the current text selection to be inserted
761 as if it had been typed on the keyboard\&.
764 You can change fonts on-the-fly, which is to say cycle through the default
765 font and others of various sizes, by using \fBShift-KP_Add\fP and
766 \fBShift-KP_Subtract\fP\&. Or, alternatively (if enabled) with
767 \fBAlt->\fP and \fBAlt-<\fP, where the actual key
768 can be selected using resources \fBsmallfont_key\fP/\fBbigfont_key\fP\&.
771 \fBrxvt\fP tries to write an entry into the \fIutmp\fP(5) file so that it can be
772 seen via the \fIwho(1)\fP command, and can accept messages\&. To allow this
773 feature, \fBrxvt\fP must be installed setuid root on some systems\&.
774 .SH "COLORS AND GRAPHICS"
776 If graphics support was enabled at compile-time, \fBrxvt\fP can be queried
777 with ANSI escape sequences and can address individual pixels instead of
778 text characters\&. Note the graphics support is still considered beta code\&.
780 In addition to the default foreground and background colours, \fBrxvt\fP
781 can display up to 16 colours (8 ANSI colours plus high-intensity bold/blink
782 versions of the same)\&.
783 Here is a list of the colours with their \fBrgb\&.txt\fP names\&.
