.IP "How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?" 4
.IX Item "How do I know which rxvt-unicode version I'm using?"
The version number is displayed with the usage (\-h). Also the escape
sequence \f(CW\*(C`ESC[8n\*(C'\fR sets the window title to the version number.
.IP "When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?" 4
.IX Item "When I log-in to another system it tells me about missing terminfo data?"
The terminal description used by rxvt-unicode is not as widely available
as that for xterm, or even rxvt (for which the same problem often arises).
.Sp
The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this can
be done like this (with ncurses' infocmp):
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&   REMOTE=remotesystem.domain
\&   infocmp rxvt-unicode | ssh $REMOTE "cat >/tmp/ti && tic /tmp/ti"
.Ve
.Sp
\&... or by installing rxvt-unicode normally on the remote system,
.Sp
If you cannot or do not want to do this, then you can simply set
\&\f(CW\*(C`TERM=rxvt\*(C'\fR or even \f(CW\*(C`TERM=xterm\*(C'\fR, and live with the small number of
problems arising, which includes wrong keymapping, less and different
colours and some refresh errors in fullscreen applications. It's a nice
quick-and-dirty workaround for rare cases, though.
.Sp
If you always want to do this you can either recompile rxvt-unicode with
the desired \s-1TERM\s0 value or use a resource to set it:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   URxvt.termName: rxvt
.Ve
.Sp
If you don't plan to use \fBrxvt\fR (quite common...) you could also replace
the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one.
.IP "I need a termcap file entry." 4
.IX Item "I need a termcap file entry."
You could use rxvt's termcap entry with resonable results in many cases.
You can also create a termcap entry by using terminfo's infocmp program
like this:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   infocmp -C rxvt-unicode
.Ve
.Sp
\&\s-1OR\s0 you could this termcap entry:

The \f(CW\*(C`ls\*(C'\fR in the \s-1GNU\s0 coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to

features. Unfortunately, some of these (most notably, again, Debian
GNU/Linux) furthermore fail to even install the \f(CW\*(C`rxvt\-unicode\*(C'\fR terminfo

If you encounter strange problems like typing an accented character but
getting two unrelated other characters or similar, or if program output is
subtly garbled, then you should check your locale settings.
.Sp
Rxvt-unicode must be started with the same \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR setting as the
programs. Often rxvt-unicode is started in the \f(CW\*(C`C\*(C'\fR locale, while the
login script running within the rxvt-unicode window changes the locale to
sth. else, e.h. \f(CW\*(C`en_GB.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR. Needless to say, this is not going to work.
.Sp
The best thing is to fix your startup environment, as you will likely run
into other problems. If nothing works you can try this in your .profile.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&  printf '\ee]701;%s\e007' "$LC_CTYPE"
.Ve
.Sp
If this doesn't work, then maybe you use a \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR specification not
supported on your systems. Some systems have a \f(CW\*(C`locale\*(C'\fR command which
displays this. If it displays sth. like:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&  locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: ...
.Ve
.Sp
Then the locale you specified is not supported on your system.
.Sp
If nothing works and you are sure that everything is set correctly then
you will need to remember a little known fact: Some programs just don't
support locales :(

.IX Item "Why do some characters look so much different than others?"
.PD 0
.IP "How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?" 4
.IX Item "How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?"
.PD
Most fonts do not contain the full range of Unicode, which is
fine. Chances are that the font you (or the admin/package maintainer of
your system/os) have specified does not cover all the characters you want
to display.
.Sp
\&\fBrxvt-unicode\fR makes a best-effort try at finding a replacement
font. Often the result is fine, but sometimes the chosen font looks
bad. Many fonts have totally strange characters that don't resemble the
correct glyph at all, and rxvt-unicode lacks the artificial intelligence
to detect that a specific glyph is wrong: it has to believe the font that
the characters it contains indeed look correct.
.Sp
In that case, select a font of your taste and add it to the font list,
e.g.:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   @@RXVT_NAME@@ -fn basefont,font2,font3...
.Ve
.Sp
When rxvt-unicode sees a character, it will first look at the base
font. If the base font does not contain the character, it will go to the
next font, and so on. Specifying your own fonts will also speed up this
search and use less resources within rxvt-unicode and the X\-server.
.Sp
The only limitation is that all the fonts must not be larger than the base
font, as the base font defines the principal cell size, which must be the
same due to the way terminals work.
.IP "Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?" 4
.IX Item "Why do some chinese characters look so different than others?"
This is because there is a difference between script and language \*(--
rxvt-unicode does not know which language the text that is output
is, as it only knows the unicode character codes. If rxvt-unicode
first sees a japanese character, it might choose a japanese font for
it. Subsequent japanese characters will take that font. Now, many chinese
characters aren't represented in japanese fonts, so when the first
non-japanese character comes up, rxvt-unicode will look for a chinese font
\&\*(-- unfortunately at this point, it will still use the japanese font for
japanese characters that are also chinese.
.Sp
The workaround is easy: just tag a chinese font at the end of your font
list (see the previous question). The key is to view the font list as
a preference list: If you expect more japanese, list a japanese font
first. If you expect more chinese, put a chinese font first.
.Sp
In the future it might be possible to switch preferences at runtime (the
internal data structure has no problem with using different fonts for
the same character at the same time, but no interface for this has been
designed yet).
.IP "Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?" 4
.IX Item "Why does rxvt-unicode sometimes leave pixel droppings?"
Most fonts were not designed for terminal use, which means that character
size varies a lot. A font that is otherwise fine for terminal use might
contain some characters that are simply too wide. Rxvt-unicode will avoid
these characters. For characters that are just \*(L"a bit\*(R" too wide a special
\&\*(L"careful\*(R" rendering mode is used that redraws adjacent characters.
.Sp
All of this requires that fonts do not lie about character sizes,
however: Xft fonts often draw glyphs larger than their acclaimed bounding
box, and rxvt-unicode has no way of detecting this (the correct way is to
ask for the character bounding box, which unfortunately is wrong in these
cases).
.Sp
It's not clear (to me at least), wether this is a bug in Xft, freetype,
or the respective font. If you encounter this problem you might try using
the \f(CW\*(C`\-lsp\*(C'\fR option to give the font more height. If that doesn't work, you
might be forced to use a different font.
.Sp
All of this is not a problem when using X11 core fonts, as their bounding
box data is correct.
.IP "My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working." 4
.IX Item "My Compose (Multi_key) key is no longer working."
The most common causes for this are that either your locale is not set
correctly, or you specified a \fBpreeditStyle\fR that is not supported by
your input method. For example, if you specified \fBOverTheSpot\fR and
your input method (e.g. the default input method handling Compose keys)
does not support this (for instance because it is not visual), then
rxvt-unicode will continue without an input method.
.Sp
In this case either do not specify a \fBpreeditStyle\fR or specify more than
one pre-edit style, such as \fBOverTheSpot,Root,None\fR.
.ie n .IP "I cannot type \*(C`Ctrl\-Shift\-2\*(C' to get an \s-1ASCII\s0 \s-1NUL\s0 character due to \s-1ISO\s0 14755" 4

Either try \f(CW\*(C`Ctrl\-2\*(C'\fR alone (it often is mapped to \s-1ASCII\s0 \s-1NUL\s0 even on
international keyboards) or simply use \s-1ISO\s0 14755 support to your
advantage, typing <Ctrl\-Shift\-0> to get a \s-1ASCII\s0 \s-1NUL\s0. This works for other
codes, too, such as \f(CW\*(C`Ctrl\-Shift\-1\-d\*(C'\fR to type the default telnet escape
character and so on.

First of all, make sure you are running with the right terminfo
(\f(CW\*(C`urxvt\*(C'\fR), which will get rid of most of these effects. Then make sure
you have specified colours for italic and bold, as otherwise rxvt-unicode
might use reverse video to simulate the effect:

.Ve
.IP "Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that?" 4
.IX Item "Some programs assume totally weird colours (red instead of blue), how can I fix that?"
For some unexplainable reason, some programs (i.e. irssi) assume a very
weird colour palette when confronted with a terminal with more than the
standard 8 colours (rxvt\-unicode supports 88). The right fix is, of
course, to fix these programs not to assume non-ISO colours without very
good reasons.
.Sp
In the meantime, you can either edit your \f(CW\*(C`urxvt\*(C'\fR terminfo definition to
only claim 8 colour support or use \f(CW\*(C`TERM=rxvt\*(C'\fR, which will fix colours
but keep you from using other rxvt-unicode features.
.IP "I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all." 4
.IX Item "I am on FreeBSD and rxvt-unicode does not seem to work at all."
Rxvt-unicode requires the symbol \f(CW\*(C`_\|_STDC_ISO_10646_\|_\*(C'\fR to be defined
in your compile environment, or an implementation that implements it,
wether it defines the symbol or not. \f(CW\*(C`_\|_STDC_ISO_10646_\|_\*(C'\fR requires that
\&\fBwchar_t\fR is represented as unicode.
.Sp
As you might have guessed, FreeBSD does neither define this symobl nor
does it support it. Instead, it uses it's own internal representation of
\&\fBwchar_t\fR. This is, of course, completely legal.
.Sp
However, \f(CW\*(C`_\|_STDC_ISO_10646_\|_\*(C'\fR is the only sane way to support
multi-language apps in an \s-1OS\s0, as using a locale-dependent (and
non\-standardized) representation of \fBwchar_t\fR makes it impossible to
convert between \fBwchar_t\fR (as used by X11 and your applications) and any
other encoding without implementing OS-specific-wrappers for each and
every locale. There simply are no APIs to convert \fBwchar_t\fR into anything
except the current locale encoding.
.Sp
Some applications (such as the formidable \fBmlterm\fR) work around this
by carrying their own replacement functions for character set handling
with them, and either implementing OS-dependent hacks or doing multiple
conversions (which is slow and unreliable in case the \s-1OS\s0 implements
encodings slightly different than the terminal emulator).
.Sp
The rxvt-unicode author insists that the right way to fix this is in the
system libraries once and for all, instead of forcing every app to carry
complete replacements.

.IX Item "How does rxvt-unicode determine the encoding to use?"
.PD 0
.IP "Is there an option to switch encodings?" 4
.IX Item "Is there an option to switch encodings?"
.PD
Unlike some other terminals, rxvt-unicode has no encoding switch, and no
specific \*(L"utf\-8\*(R" mode, such as xterm. In fact, it doesn't even know about
\&\s-1UTF\-8\s0 or any other encodings with respect to terminal I/O.
.Sp
The reasons is that there exists a perfectly fine mechanism for selecting
the encoding, doing I/O and (most important) communicating this to all
applications so everybody agrees on character properties such as width and
code number. This mechanism is the \fIlocale\fR.
.Sp
Rxvt-unicode uses the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR locale category to select encoding. All
programs doing the same (that is, most) will automatically agree in the
interpretation of characters.
.Sp
Unfortunately, there is no system-independent way to select locales, nor
is there a standard on how locale specifiers will look like.
.Sp
On most systems, the content of the \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR environment variable
contains an arbitrary string which corresponds to an already-installed
locale. Common names for locales are \f(CW\*(C`en_US.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`de_DE.ISO\-8859\-15\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.EUC\-JP\*(C'\fR, i.e. \f(CW\*(C`language_country.encoding\*(C'\fR, but other forms
(i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`german\*(C'\fR) are also common.
.Sp
Rxvt-unicode ignores all other locale categories, and except for
the encoding, ignores country or language-specific settings,
i.e. \f(CW\*(C`de_DE.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`ja_JP.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR are the same for rxvt\-unicode.
.Sp
If you want to use a specific encoding you have to make sure you start
rxvt-unicode with the correct \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE\*(C'\fR category.
.IP "Can I switch locales at runtime?" 4

example, I use this script to start \f(CW\*(C`xjdic\*(C'\fR, which first switches to a
locale supported by xjdic and back later:
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&   printf '\ee]701;%s\e007' ja_JP.SJIS
\&   xjdic -js
\&   printf '\ee]701;%s\e007' de_DE.UTF-8

.IP "Can I switch the fonts at runtime?" 4
.IX Item "Can I switch the fonts at runtime?"
Yes, using an escape sequence. Try sth. like this, which has the same
effect as using the \f(CW\*(C`\-fn\*(C'\fR switch, and takes effect immediately:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   printf '\ee]50;%s\e007' "9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic"
.Ve
.Sp
This is useful if you e.g. work primarily with japanese (and prefer a
japanese font), but you have to switch to chinese temporarily, where
japanese fonts would only be in your way.
.Sp
You can think of this as a kind of manual \s-1ISO\-2022\s0 switching.
.IP "Why do italic characters look as if clipped?" 4
.IX Item "Why do italic characters look as if clipped?"
Many fonts have difficulties with italic characters and hinting. For
example, the otherwise very nicely hinted font \f(CW\*(C`xft:Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono\*(C'\fR completely fails in it's italic face. A workaround is to enable
freetype autohinting, i.e. like this:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&   URxvt*italicFont:        xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true
\&   URxvt*boldItalicFont:    xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true
.Ve
.IP "My input method wants <some encoding> but I want \s-1UTF\-8\s0, what can I do?" 4
.IX Item "My input method wants <some encoding> but I want UTF-8, what can I do?"
You can specify separate locales for the input method and the rest of the
terminal, using the resource \f(CW\*(C`imlocale\*(C'\fR:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   URxvt*imlocale: ja_JP.EUC-JP
.Ve
.Sp
Now you can start your terminal with \f(CW\*(C`LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF\-8\*(C'\fR and still
use your input method. Please note, however, that you will not be able to
input characters outside \f(CW\*(C`EUC\-JP\*(C'\fR in a normal way then, as your input
method limits you.
.IP "Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?" 4
.IX Item "Rxvt-unicode uses gobs of memory, how can I reduce that?"
Rxvt-unicode tries to obey the rule of not charging you for sth. you
don't use. One thing you should try is to configure out all settings that
you don't need, for example, Xft support is a resource hog by design,
when used. Compiling it out ensures that no Xft font will be loaded
accidentally when rxvt-unicode tries to find a font for your characters.
.Sp
Also, many people (me included) like large windows and even larger
scrollback buffers: Without \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-unicode3\*(C'\fR, rxvt-unicode will use
6 bytes per screen cell. For a 160x?? window this amounts to almost a
kilobyte per line. A scrollback buffer of 10000 lines will then (if full)
use 10 Megabytes of memory. With \f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-unicode3\*(C'\fR it gets worse, as
rxvt-unicode then uses 8 bytes per screen cell.
.IP "Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow?" 4
.IX Item "Can I speed up Xft rendering somehow?"
Yes, the most obvious way to speed it up is to avoid Xft entirely, as
it is simply slow. If you still want Xft fonts you might try to disable
antialiasing (by appending \f(CW\*(C`:antialiasing=false\*(C'\fR), which saves lots of
memory and also speeds up rendering considerably.
.IP "Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong?" 4
.IX Item "Rxvt-unicode doesn't seem to anti-alias its fonts, what is wrong?"
Rxvt-unicode will use whatever you specify as a font. If it needs to
fall back to it's default font search list it will prefer X11 core
fonts, because they are small and fast, and then use Xft fonts. It has
antialiasing disabled for most of them, because the author thinks they
look best that way.
.Sp
If you want antialiasing, you have to specify the fonts manually.

Make sure that mouse reporting is actually turned off since killing

.IP "What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?" 4
.IX Item "What's with the strange Backspace/Delete key behaviour?"
Assuming that the physical Backspace key corresponds to the
BackSpace keysym (not likely for Linux ... see the following
question) there are two standard values that can be used for
Backspace: \f(CW\*(C`^H\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`^?\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
Historically, either value is correct, but rxvt-unicode adopts the debian
policy of using \f(CW\*(C`^?\*(C'\fR when unsure, because it's the one only only correct
choice :).
.Sp
Rxvt-unicode tries to inherit the current stty settings and uses the value
of `erase' to guess the value for backspace.  If rxvt-unicode wasn't
started from a terminal (say, from a menu or by remote shell), then the
system value of `erase', which corresponds to \s-1CERASE\s0 in <termios.h>, will
be used (which may not be the same as your stty setting).
.Sp
For starting a new rxvt\-unicode:
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&   # use Backspace = ^H
\&   $ stty erase ^H
\&   $ @@RXVT_NAME@@
.Ve
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&   # use Backspace = ^?
\&   $ stty erase ^?
\&   $ @@RXVT_NAME@@
.Ve
.Sp
Toggle with \*(L"ESC[36h\*(R" / \*(L"ESC[36l\*(R" as documented in @@RXVT_NAME@@(7).
.Sp
For an existing rxvt\-unicode:
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&   # use Backspace = ^H
\&   $ stty erase ^H
\&   $ echo -n "^[[36h"
.Ve
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&   # use Backspace = ^?
\&   $ stty erase ^?
\&   $ echo -n "^[[36l"
.Ve
.Sp
This helps satisfy some of the Backspace discrepancies that occur, but
if you use Backspace = \f(CW\*(C`^H\*(C'\fR, make sure that the termcap/terminfo value
properly reflects that.
.Sp
The Delete key is a another casualty of the ill-defined Backspace problem.
To avoid confusion between the Backspace and Delete keys, the Delete
key has been assigned an escape sequence to match the vt100 for Execute
(ESC[3~) and is in the supplied termcap/terminfo.
.Sp
Some other Backspace problems:
.Sp
some editors use termcap/terminfo,
some editors (vim I'm told) expect Backspace = ^H,
\&\s-1GNU\s0 Emacs (and Emacs-like editors) use ^H for help.
.Sp
Perhaps someday this will all be resolved in a consistent manner.

menuBar.

.Sh "Overview of menuBar operation"
.IX Subsection "Overview of menuBar operation"
For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence \f(CW\*(C`ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST\*(C'\fR, the syntax
of \f(CW\*(C`Pt\*(C'\fR can be used for a variety of tasks:
.PP
At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
linked-list of other such menuBars.
.PP
The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
.PP
The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
.PP
The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
menuBars.
.PP
The first step is to use the tag \fB[menu:\f(BIname\fB]\fR which creates
the menuBar called \fIname\fR and allows access. You may now or menus,
subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag \fB[done]\fR to set the
menuBar access as \fBreadonly\fR to prevent accidental corruption of the
menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
\&\fB[menu]\fR, make the alterations and then use \fB[done]\fR

.SH "CONFIGURE OPTIONS"
.IX Header "CONFIGURE OPTIONS"
General hint: if you get compile errors, then likely your configuration
hasn't been tested well. Either try with \-\-enable\-everything or use the
\&./reconf script as a base for experiments. ./reconf is used by myself,
so it should generally be a working config. Of course, you should always
report when a combination doesn't work, so it can be fixed. Marc Lehmann
<rxvt@schmorp.de>.
.IP "\-\-enable\-everything" 4
.IX Item "--enable-everything"
Add support for all non-multichoice options listed in \*(L"./configure
\&\-\-help\*(R". Note that unlike other enable options this is order dependant.
You can specify this and then disable options which this enables by
\&\fIfollowing\fR this with the appropriate commands.
.IP "\-\-enable\-xft" 4
.IX Item "--enable-xft"
Add support for Xft (anti\-aliases, among others) fonts. Xft fonts are
slower and require lots of memory, but as long as you don't use them, you
don't pay for them.
.IP "\-\-enable\-font\-styles" 4
.IX Item "--enable-font-styles"
Add support for \fBbold\fR, \fIitalic\fR and \fB\f(BIbold italic\fB\fR font
styles. The fonts can be set manually or automatically.
.IP "\-\-with\-codesets=NAME,..." 4
.IX Item "--with-codesets=NAME,..."
Compile in support for additional codeset (encoding) groups (eu, vn are
always compiled in, which includes most 8\-bit character sets). These
codeset tables are currently only used for driving X11 core fonts, they
are not required for Xft fonts. Compiling them in will make your binary
bigger (together about 700kB), but it doesn't increase memory usage unless
you use an X11 font requiring one of these encodings.

.TE

.IP "\-\-enable\-xim" 4
.IX Item "--enable-xim"
Add support for \s-1XIM\s0 (X Input Method) protocol. This allows using
alternative input methods (e.g. kinput2) and will also correctly
set up the input for people using dead keys or compose keys.
.IP "\-\-enable\-unicode3" 4
.IX Item "--enable-unicode3"
Enable direct support for displaying unicode codepoints above
65535 (the basic multilingual page). This increases storage
requirements per character from 2 to 4 bytes. X11 fonts do not yet
support these extra characters, but Xft does.
.Sp
Please note that rxvt-unicode can store unicode code points >65535
even without this flag, but the number of such characters is
limited to a view thousand (shared with combining characters,
see next switch), and right now rxvt-unicode cannot display them
(input/output and cut&paste still work, though).
.IP "\-\-enable\-combining" 4
.IX Item "--enable-combining"
Enable automatic composition of combining characters into
composite characters. This is required for proper viewing of text
where accents are encoded as seperate unicode characters. This is
done by using precomposited characters when available or creating
new pseudo-characters when no precomposed form exists.
.Sp
Without \-\-enable\-unicode3, the number of additional precomposed
characters is rather limited (2048, if this is full, rxvt will use the
private use area, extending the number of combinations to 8448). With
\&\-\-enable\-unicode3, no practical limit exists. This will also enable
storage of characters >65535.
.Sp
The combining table also contains entries for arabic presentation forms,
but these are not currently used. Bug me if you want these to be used.
.IP "\-\-enable\-fallback(=CLASS)" 4
.IX Item "--enable-fallback(=CLASS)"
When reading resource settings, also read settings for class \s-1CLASS\s0
(default: Rxvt). To disable resource fallback use \-\-disable\-fallback.
.IP "\-\-with\-res\-name=NAME" 4
.IX Item "--with-res-name=NAME"
Use the given name (default: urxvt) as default application name when
reading resources. Specify \-\-with\-res\-name=rxvt to replace rxvt.
.IP "\-\-with\-res\-class=CLASS" 4
.IX Item "--with-res-class=CLASS"
Use the given class (default: URxvt) as default application class
when reading resources.  Specify \-\-with\-res\-class=Rxvt to replace
rxvt.
.IP "\-\-enable\-utmp" 4
.IX Item "--enable-utmp"
Write user and tty to utmp file (used by programs like \fIw\fR) at
start of rxvt execution and delete information when rxvt exits.
.IP "\-\-enable\-wtmp" 4
.IX Item "--enable-wtmp"
Write user and tty to wtmp file (used by programs like \fIlast\fR) at
start of rxvt execution and write logout when rxvt exits.  This
option requires \-\-enable\-utmp to also be specified.
.IP "\-\-enable\-lastlog" 4
.IX Item "--enable-lastlog"
Write user and tty to lastlog file (used by programs like
\&\fIlastlogin\fR) at start of rxvt execution.  This option requires
\&\-\-enable\-utmp to also be specified.
.IP "\-\-enable\-xpm\-background" 4
.IX Item "--enable-xpm-background"
Add support for \s-1XPM\s0 background pixmaps.
.IP "\-\-enable\-transparency" 4
.IX Item "--enable-transparency"
Add support for inheriting parent backgrounds thus giving a fake
transparency to the term.
.IP "\-\-enable\-fading" 4
.IX Item "--enable-fading"
Add support for fading the text when focus is lost.
.IP "\-\-enable\-tinting" 4
.IX Item "--enable-tinting"
Add support for tinting of transparent backgrounds.
.IP "\-\-enable\-menubar" 4
.IX Item "--enable-menubar"
Add support for our menu bar system (this interacts badly with
dynamic locale switching currently).
.IP "\-\-enable\-rxvt\-scroll" 4
.IX Item "--enable-rxvt-scroll"
Add support for the original rxvt scrollbar.
.IP "\-\-enable\-next\-scroll" 4
.IX Item "--enable-next-scroll"
Add support for a NeXT-like scrollbar.
.IP "\-\-enable\-xterm\-scroll" 4
.IX Item "--enable-xterm-scroll"
Add support for an Xterm-like scrollbar.
.IP "\-\-enable\-plain\-scroll" 4
.IX Item "--enable-plain-scroll"
Add support for a very unobtrusive, plain-looking scrollbar that
is the favourite of the rxvt-unicode author, having used it for
many years.
.IP "\-\-enable\-half\-shadow" 4
.IX Item "--enable-half-shadow"
Make shadows on the scrollbar only half the normal width & height.
only applicable to rxvt scrollbars.
.IP "\-\-enable\-ttygid" 4
.IX Item "--enable-ttygid"
Change tty device setting to group \*(L"tty\*(R" \- only use this if
your system uses this type of security.
.IP "\-\-disable\-backspace\-key" 4
.IX Item "--disable-backspace-key"
Disable any handling of the backspace key by us \- let the X server
do it.
.IP "\-\-disable\-delete\-key" 4
.IX Item "--disable-delete-key"
Disable any handling of the delete key by us \- let the X server
do it.
.IP "\-\-disable\-resources" 4
.IX Item "--disable-resources"
Remove all resources checking.
.IP "\-\-enable\-xgetdefault" 4
.IX Item "--enable-xgetdefault"
Make resources checking via \fIXGetDefault()\fR instead of our small
version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
then ~/.Xresources.
.IP "\-\-enable\-strings" 4
.IX Item "--enable-strings"
Add support for our possibly faster \fImemset()\fR function and other
various routines, overriding your system's versions which may
have been hand-crafted in assembly or may require extra libraries
to link in. (this breaks ANSI-C rules and has problems on many
GNU/Linux systems).
.IP "\-\-disable\-swapscreen" 4
.IX Item "--disable-swapscreen"
Remove support for swap screen.
.IP "\-\-enable\-frills" 4
.IX Item "--enable-frills"
Add support for many small features that are not essential but nice to
have. Normally you want this, but for very small binaries you may want to
disable this.
.Sp

in combination with other switches) is:

Enable extended \s-1ISO\s0 14755 support (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(1), or
\&\fIdoc/rxvt.1.txt\fR). Basic support (section 5.1) is enabled by
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-enable\-frills\*(C'\fR, while support for 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 is enabled with
this switch.
.IP "\-\-enable\-keepscrolling" 4
.IX Item "--enable-keepscrolling"
Add support for continual scrolling of the display when you hold
the mouse button down on a scrollbar arrow.
.IP "\-\-enable\-mousewheel" 4
.IX Item "--enable-mousewheel"
Add support for scrolling via mouse wheel or buttons 4 & 5.
.IP "\-\-enable\-slipwheeling" 4
.IX Item "--enable-slipwheeling"
Add support for continual scrolling (using the mouse wheel as an
accelerator) while the control key is held down.  This option
requires \-\-enable\-mousewheel to also be specified.
.IP "\-\-disable\-new\-selection" 4
.IX Item "--disable-new-selection"
Remove support for mouse selection style like that of xterm.
.IP "\-\-enable\-dmalloc" 4
.IX Item "--enable-dmalloc"
Use Gray Watson's malloc \- which is good for debugging See
http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/ for details If you use either this or the
next option, you may need to edit src/Makefile after compiling to point
\&\s-1DINCLUDE\s0 and \s-1DLIB\s0 to the right places.
.Sp
You can only use either this option and the following (should
you use either) .
.IP "\-\-enable\-dlmalloc" 4
.IX Item "--enable-dlmalloc"
Use Doug Lea's malloc \- which is good for a production version
See <http://g.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html> for details.
.IP "\-\-enable\-smart\-resize" 4
.IX Item "--enable-smart-resize"
