"#rxvt-unicode" has some rxvt-unicode enthusiasts that might be
interested in learning about new and exciting problems (but not FAQs :).
+ I use Gentoo, and I have a problem...
+ There are three big problems with Gentoo Linux: first of all, most if
+ not all Gentoo systems are completely broken (missing or mismatched
+ header files, broken compiler etc. are just the tip of the iceberg);
+ secondly, the Gentoo maintainer thinks it is a good idea to add broken
+ patches to the code; and lastly, it should be called Gentoo GNU/Linux.
+
+ For these reasons, it is impossible to support rxvt-unicode on Gentoo.
+ Problems appearing on Gentoo systems will usually simply be ignored
+ unless they can be reproduced on non-Gentoo systems.

Does it support tabs, can I have a tabbed rxvt-unicode?
Beginning with version 7.3, there is a perl extension that implements a
simple tabbed terminal. It is installed by default, so any of these

On ANSI colours, bold/blink attributes are used to set high-intensity
foreground/background colors.

I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?
In this case either do not specify a preeditStyle or specify more than
one pre-edit style, such as OverTheSpot,Root,None.

I cannot type "Ctrl-Shift-2" to get an ASCII NUL character due to ISO 14755
Either try "Ctrl-2" alone (it often is mapped to ASCII NUL even on
international keyboards) or simply use ISO 14755 support to your

The correct solution for this problem is to install the terminfo, this

One some systems you might need to set $TERMINFO to the full path of
$HOME/.terminfo for this to work.
If you don't plan to use rxvt (quite common...) you could also replace
the rxvt terminfo file with the rxvt-unicode one and use "TERM=rxvt".

"tic" outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry.
Most likely it's the empty definition for "enacs=". Just replace it by
"enacs=\E[0@" and try again.

Why does "ls" no longer have coloured output?
The "ls" in the GNU coreutils unfortunately doesn't use terminfo to

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
wchar_t. This is, of course, completely fine with respect to standards.
However, that means rxvt-unicode only works in "POSIX", "ISO-8859-1" and
- "UTF-8" locales under FreeBSD (which all use Unicode as wchar_t.
