tic
outputs some error when compiling the terminfo entry.+
The default configuration tries to be xterm-like, which I don't like that +much, but it's least surprise to regular users.
+As a rxvt or rxvt-unicode user, you are practically supposed to invest +time into customising your terminal. To get you started, here is the +author's .Xdefaults entries, with comments on what they do:
++ URxvt.cutchars: "()*,<>[]{}|' + URxvt.print-pipe: cat >/tmp/xxx+
These are just for testing stuff.
++ URxvt.imLocale: ja_JP.UTF-8 + URxvt.preeditType: OnTheSpot,None+
This tells rxvt-unicode to use a special locale when communicating with
+the X Input Method, and also tells it to only use the OnTheSpot pre-edit
+type, which requires the xim-onthespot
perl extension but rewards me
+with correct-looking fonts.
+ URxvt.perl-lib: /root/lib/urxvt + URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform,selection-pastebin,xim-onthespot,remote-clipboard + URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+) + URxvt.selection.pattern-1: ^(/[^:]+):\ + URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/ + URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/+
This is my perl configuration. The first two set the perl library +directory and also tells urxvt to use a large number of extensions. I +develop for myself mostly, so I actually use most of the extensions I +write.
+The selection stuff mainly makes the selection perl-error-message aware +and tells it to convert pelr error mssages into vi-commands to load the +relevant file and go tot he error line number.
++ URxvt.scrollstyle: plain + URxvt.secondaryScroll: true+
As the documentation says: plain is the preferred scrollbar for the
+author. The secondaryScroll
confgiures urxvt to scroll in full-screen
+apps, like screen, so lines scorlled out of screen end up in urxvt's
+scrollback buffer.
+ URxvt.background: #000000 + URxvt.foreground: gray90 + URxvt.color7: gray90 + URxvt.colorBD: #ffffff + URxvt.cursorColor: #e0e080 + URxvt.throughColor: #8080f0 + URxvt.highlightColor: #f0f0f0+
Some colours. Not sure which ones are being used or even non-defaults, but +these are in my .Xdefaults. Most notably, they set foreground/background +to light gray/black, and also make sure that the colour 7 matches the +default foreground colour.
++ URxvt.underlineColor: yellow+
Another colour, makes underline lines look different. Sometimes hurts, but +is mostly a nice effect.
++ URxvt.geometry: 154x36 + URxvt.loginShell: false + URxvt.meta: ignore + URxvt.utmpInhibit: true+
Uh, well, should be mostly self-explanatory. By specifying some defaults +manually, I can quickly switch them for testing.
++ URxvt.saveLines: 8192+
A large scrollback buffer is essential. Really.
++ URxvt.mapAlert: true+
The only case I use it is for my IRC window, which I like to keep +iconified till people msg me (which beeps).
++ URxvt.visualBell: true+
The audible bell is often annoying, especially when in a crowd.
++ URxvt.insecure: true+
Please don't hack my mutt! Ooops...
++ URxvt.pastableTabs: false+
I once thought this is a great idea.
++ urxvt.font: 9x15bold,\ + -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1,\ + -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1, \ + [codeset=JISX0208]xft:Kochi Gothic, \ + xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:autohint=true, \ + xft:Code2000:antialias=false + urxvt.boldFont: -xos4-terminus-bold-r-normal--14-140-72-72-c-80-iso8859-15 + urxvt.italicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:italic:autohint=true + urxvt.boldItalicFont: xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:bold:italic:autohint=true+
I wrote rxvt-unicode to be able to specify fonts exactly. So don't be
+overwhelmed. A special note: the 9x15bold
mentioend above is actually
+the version from XFree-3.3, as XFree-4 replaced it by a totally different
+font (different glyphs for ;
and many other harmless characters),
+while the second font is actually the 9x15bold
from XFree4/XOrg. The
+bold version has less chars than the medium version, so I use it for rare
+characters, too. Whene ditign sources with vim, I use italic for comments
+and other stuff, which looks quite good with Bitstream Vera anti-aliased.
Terminus is a quite bad font (many very wrong glyphs), but for most of my +purposes, it works, and gives a different look, as my normal (Non-bold) +font is already bold, and I want to see a difference between bold and +normal fonts.
+Please note that I used the urxvt
instance name and not the URxvt
+class name. Thats because I use different configs for different purposes,
+for example, my IRC window is started with -name IRC
, and uses these
+defaults:
+ IRC*title: IRC + IRC*geometry: 87x12+535+542 + IRC*saveLines: 0 + IRC*mapAlert: true + IRC*font: suxuseuro + IRC*boldFont: suxuseuro + IRC*colorBD: white + IRC*keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]710;suxuseuro\007\033]711;suxuseuro\007 + IRC*keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]710;9x15bold\007\033]711;9x15bold\007+
Alt-Shift-1
and Alt-Shift-2
switch between two different font
+sizes. suxuseuro
allows me to keep an eye (and actually read)
+stuff while keeping a very small window. If somebody pastes something
+complicated (e.g. japanese), I temporarily switch to a larger font.
The above is all in my .Xdefaults
(I don't use .Xresources
nor
+xrdb
). I also have some resources in a separate .Xdefaults-hostname
+file for different hosts, for example, on ym main desktop, I use:
+ URxvt.keysym.C-M-q: command:\033[3;5;5t + URxvt.keysym.C-M-y: command:\033[3;5;606t + URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: command:\033[3;1605;5t + URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: command:\033[3;1605;606t + URxvt.keysym.C-M-p: perl:test+
The first for keysym definitions allow me to quickly bring some windows +in the layout I like most. Ion users might start laughing but will stop +immediately when I tell them that I use my own Fvwm2 module for much the +same effect as Ion provides, and I only very rarely use the above key +combinations :->

applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS loads
