Using rxvt-unicode as an application launcher

So I followed the wiki and have the following command bound to Super+BackSpace:
$ urxvt -geometry 80x3+480+320 -name 'bashrun' -e sh -c "/bin/bash -i -t"
The niggle I'm having is that the window is still open even after I've launched chromium or whatever. Ideally I'm looking for something to quickly and easily add to the above command. I did disocover that
$ (chromium &); exit
does what I'm looking for, but it's somewhat unwieldy to type, Any suggestions?

It just doesn't feel as efficient as possible to browse through the menu using either the keyboard or the mouse. My laptop has limited space so I'm keen to avoid installing packages that I don't absolutely need. When I discovered the urxvt launcher functionality, it seemed a good way to go.
I just bind commands to keys to launch things.
This would be an example:
<keybind key="Super-w">
<action name="Execute">
<command>termite -e weechat-curses</command>
</action>
</keybind>
I'm not sure if this helps, but I hope it does.

[SOLVED] Emacs + rxvt-unicode Cursor Bug

When running emacs inside of a rxvt-unicode terminal, pressing the spacebar advances the cursor as it should, but sometimes it does not erase the cursor from it's previous position. Entering a third character will finally make this superfluous cursor disappear.
I have found references to similar issues in an Ubuntu bug report and a livejournal post, both of which date back to 2008. I am not sure if these issues are directly related or just similar in appearance. I seem to recall having similar issues with the cursor under emacs around three years ago when I was running Ubuntu and gnome-terminal.
Has anyone else noticed this? It's quite distracting when I'm typing in emacs and I've finally become annoyed enough to get this ball rolling.
Duplicating the Bug
Open a rxvt-unicode terminal and launch emacs with the following comand:
emacs -nw
Create a new emacs buffer named "foo".
Switch the buffer "foo" to "text-mode".
Turn on the "visual-line-mode" minor mode.
Type the following into the emacs buffer, replacing <space> with the actual whitespace (i.e. spacebar) character:
1234<space>1234<space>1234<space>
The third space will advance the cursor but not erase the cursor from its previous position, making it look twice as wide. Entering a third character will advance the cursor once more, and things will look normal again.
Failed Workarounds
In my attempt to understand the problem, I have tried a few things which don't seem to help.
Setting the TERM environment variable to various values including "linux", "screen", "vt100", "vt102", etc.
Turning cursor blinking on and off in the rxvt-unicode configuration.
Successful Workarounds
I have discovered a few workarounds, which may give some clues as to the root of the problem.
If I use rxvt-unicode to launch an instance of Gnu Screen and run emacs inside of that, the problem disappears.
If I run emacs emacs inside of an xterm instead of rxvt-unicode the problem disappears.
If I set column-number-mode in emacs as suggested by the aforementioned livejournal post, the problem will also disappear.

I spoke with someone familiar with rxvt-unicode and got some answers. It seems that this is likely related to tab characters being output instead of spaces which may be an emacs optimization of some sort. Turning on the +ptab switch when invoking rxvt-unicode seems to elimnate the issue. A log of my discussion follows for anyone curious.
< __OoO__ > battlp: emacs outputs a tab character
< __OoO__ > battlp: which is "wide"
< __OoO__ > battlp: so you don't see an extra cursor, just the cursor
itself is wider
< __OoO__ > battlp: you can probably work around this emacs issue by
using "+ptab" when strating urxvt
< battlp > __OoO__: interesting. Is this "wide" cursor a unique
feature of urxvt? I've tested all the other terms I can
think of and haven't seen the same thing.
< __OoO__ > any temrinal has this
< __OoO__ > but only urxvt can store tabs
< __OoO__ > thats mostly useful when you want to paste text and want
tabs intact
< __OoO__ > because other terminals always convert tabs to whitespace
< __OoO__ > sorry, spaces
< battlp > Not your domain, I know, but any clue why emacs would be
spitting a tab in this plain "text" mode. It seems
bizarre.
< __OoO__ > tab is both a tab character as you are used to
< __OoO__ > as well as a cursor movement
< __OoO__ > for emacs, it's probably an optimization
< __OoO__ > 9000 cpu cycles wasted to avoid an extra space going over
your serial line
< __OoO__ > on second thought, its pretty bizarre, because thereis
only one space
< __OoO__ > but then, can happen if your screen engine it too
intelligent
< battlp > I also can't predict which spaces will do this. Running
emacs inside of screen eliminates the issue, to, which I
also don't understand.
< __OoO__ > likely, screen's engine isn't so cool and uses plain old
spaces or cursor movements
< __OoO__ > which spaces - probably the ones falling directly before a
tab boundary, i.e. at 7th, 15th etc.
< __OoO__ > column
< battlp > That sounds like it might be the spots where I'm seeing it.
Turning on emacs' column-number-mode Make it disappear for
the most part, except when backspacing.
< __OoO__ > so will +ptab, which tells urxvt to treat tab as a cursor
movement only
< battlp > Just tried to measure it with ruler-mode and of course that
makes it disappear as well.
< battlp > Yep, +ptab makes it go away.

[SOLVED] rxvt-unicode: disable iso 14755

Hi,
I want to disable all the urxvt functionalities associated with the ctrl+shift keys. Is there a way to do this at runtime ?
The PKGBUILD seems to have the "disable-frills" flag. Then the only thing related to ctrl+shift should be iso 14755.
I was using rxvt-unicode-256color from AUR before and this was not happening.
Last edited by X-dark (2011-01-03 16:15:19)

either compile with --disable-iso14755 or try URxvt* iso14755: False and URxvt* iso14755_52: False

[SOLVED] Escape sequences instead of colors in rxvt-unicode

On a Git cheat sheet I found that I could add nice colors to Git's output, so I edited my ~/.gitconfig by adding:
[color]
ui = auto
[color "branch"]
current = yellow reverse
local = yellow
remote = green
[color "diff"]
meta = yellow bold
frag = magenta bold
old = red bold
new = green bold
[color "status"]
added = yellow
changed = green
untracked = cyan
However, when performing a git log my terminal looks like this:
ESC[33mcommit 226dcb52565b58952b78fb107d8d9def3ca396abESC[m
Merge: 8f8af9f 93341d8
where ESC's colors are reversed. So, instead of yellow commit lines it outputs everything in plain text.
What's wrong with my configuration? I am using rxvt-unicode 9.15-3.

Someone on the mailing list said that this was due to incorrect parameters to my pager, less. Adding -R to $LESS (or deleting the variable entirely) solved this issue.

Cursor / window disappears with rxvt-unicode + xcompmgr + Xft font

The issue described in this thread is still outstanding for a number of users.
It seems to boil down to this: when using rxvt-unicode with xcompmgr and an Xft font (Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, and Terminus were among those tested), the terminal cursor will disappear. Typing some text and pressing backspace will cause it to reappear.
Furthermore, the entire window sometimes disappears when switching workspaces in Openbox. Repeated workspace switches or minimizing / restoring the window (via a panel, such as tint2) can make it reappear.
A workaround is to set URxvt*cursorUnderline in ~/.Xdefaults, but some users prefer a block cursor.

The suggestion of installing libxft-lcd was made. I did so, commented-out the URxvt*cursorUnderline line in ~/.Xdefaults, logged out of X, and restarted slim from tty1.
% ldd /usr/bin/urxvt | grep Xft
libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x00007fd35f179000)
% pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libXft.so.2
/usr/lib/libXft.so.2 is owned by libxft-lcd 2.2.0-1
After restarting slim, the problem persists. After rebooting, the problem still persists.
xterm does not exhibit this problem, nor does emacs. I use both programs with libxft and blinking block cursors, and they both work as expected. This seems to be an issue with running rxvt-unicode in combination with xcompmgr. From my POV, it doesn't seem that intel drivers are to blame, but I suppose I wouldn't rule them out.

Rxvt-unicode 9.16-1 and click to launch url (urlLauncher)

After upgrading to rxvt-unicode 9.16-1 I found out I can't click to open a url in my browser.
Turns out
URxvt.urlLauncher: firefox
doesn't do anything because http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/Changes the new version introduced
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: renamed urlLauncher resource to url-launcher.
Sidenote: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … t-unicode/ says that gtk2-perl is an optional dependency to use the urxvt-tabbed, but I've been using urxvt-tabbed w/o it (even after the update).

I found this with urxvt-perls; I had to change url-select.launcher to get it working again...

[SOLVED] Rxvt-unicode fails to paste PRIMARY selection owned by Vim

Urxvt almost always work with the X PRIMARY selection. i.e., if I select some
text in Firefox or other applications, I will be able to paste it in urxvt.
But Vim seems to be an exception. Steps to reproduce:
1. Select some text ("foo") in Vim, either using the mouse or in visual mode.
Leave the Vim window open.
2. In another urxvt window, press Shift-Insert, _nothing_ is pasted.
Middle mouse click has the same effect as Shift-Insert in urxvt.
3. Issue the command `xsel -po`, and the text "foo" is printed. This means
the text is indeed what the X PRIMARY selection holds (or points to).
4. The text "foo" is also pasted in Firefox by middle mouse click.
The text "foo" is also pasted in xterm by either middle mouse click or
Shift-Insert.
5.1. If you do `xsel -po | xsel -pi`, urxvt will behave like everyone else.
5.2. Without doing 5.1, quit Vim (:q). After that, "foo" will be pasted in
urxvt by Shift-Insert.
What Vim does on quit is documented in its help (:h x11-cut-buffer):
Vim wrote:
There are, by default, 8 cut-buffers: CUT_BUFFER0 to CUT_BUFFER7. Vim only
uses CUT_BUFFER0, which is the one that xterm uses by default.
Whenever Vim is about to become unavailable (either via exiting or becoming
suspended), and thus unable to respond to another application's selection
request, it writes the contents of any owned selection to CUT_BUFFER0. If the
"+ CLIPBOARD selection is owned by Vim, then this is written in preference,
otherwise if the "* PRIMARY selection is owned by Vim, then that is written.
My guesses are:
* Urxvt somehow requires the cut buffer (CUT_BUFFER0) to sync with the
PRIMARY selection, otherwise it will fail to request the PRIMARY selection.
* The reason why text selected from applications other than Vim can be pasted
just fine in urxvt is probably that they always sync the cut buffer with the
PRIMARY selection.
I may be wrong, so please do comment.
If my conclusion proves to be right, I will file a bug report to rxvt-unicode.
Edit: This issue is fixed in rxvt-unicode 9.12.

Hi lolilolicon,
I cannot reproduce the errors from step 2. My system has the following packages:
gvim 7.3.206-1
vim-runtime 7.3.206-1
rxvt-unicode 9.12-1
To be fair, rxvt-unicode was upgraded to 9.12 recently (I think it was sometime last week), and I also recall vim's visual mode selections NOT being paste-able into a separate urxvt window. But I guess the 9.12 update fixed things. (There are a couple regression fixes with the words "selection" to describe them @ http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/Changes .) I tested both gvim and regular console vim (visual mode) and it all worked. I also double-checked with `xsel -po`.

[SOLVED] Highlighted text in the shell, appearance rxvt-unicode

Hi,
Short question, when I highlight text in the shell or when text get highlighted in ncmpcpp or outer app running in the shell it gets basically impossible to read. Because background to text get the same color and strength then the text.
what setting should I look for to change what it look like when I mark and highlight text in the shell?
Thank you!
All the best,
Christer

Screen: Cannot find terminfo entry for 'rxvt-unicode', works in root

I'm using screen (http://www.archlinux.org/packages/14519/) and it works fine under root, but it keeps saying it can't find the terminfo entry for anything when I'm under a different user ('linux', 'xterm', 'rxvt-unicode'). First I tried setting URxvt*termName: rxvt (xterm as well), then I tried copying screenrc from /etc/ and /etc/skel/ to my home directory as .screenrc, and finally I tried compiling from source as another user. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

phrakture wrote:Are you ssh'ing to another machine?
Nope, I've installed arch on my laptop.
This error typically happens when you ssh to a machine that does NOT have the terminfo installed.
I don't know if terminfo is the correct name of the package, but pacman -Qs *term* or *info* or terminfo didn't show anything.
Could you possibly post your screenrc, just so I can check?
This is the config I've copied from /etc/skel/ to ~/, if I type nano .screenrc after logging in this is what I'll see.
Edit: I forgot to say that screen produces the same results in xterm.

Rxvt-unicode, TERM and visible content redraw (CTRL+L)

Hi,
I've recently switched to rxvt-unicode (from community) from gnome-terminal. The thing is that with the default TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color I can see the screen being redrawn, e.g. when I hit CTRL+L while I'm in the shell or when I use Page-Down/Up in VIM. It looks as if there was some kind of double-buffering lacking. In other words: open rxvt-unicode and when I hit CTRL+L I can see the shell prompt being redrawn (it's fast but still noticeable).
The phenomenon doesn't exist in gnome-terminal. What's even more important, it doesn't exist in rxvt-unicode when I'm in tmux (which I have set to use TERM=screen-256color inside).
What's also worth noting is that when I set TERM to screen-256color in rxvt itself (not using tmux) the flickering while the screen is redrawn is also gone. But I don't want to use it like this - it's never a good idea to mix TERM settings.
Has anyone solved this problem without setting TERM to some non-rxvt value?

I normally have laststatus=2, it's in my default .vimrc. I'm not surprised at a flicker from vim's status bar, the information has to be reevaluated and the characters redrawn with every cursor movement.
I don't use transparency with urxvt, could that be an aggravating factor for the prompt flicker? I also wonder if screen flicker is as noticeable with a different shell or a different prompt?
Does bash-completion affect the flicker? It used to affect the redrawing of my PS1 but I haven't had that app installed for a couple of years now.
No, I don't think it has anything to do with bash-completion. It is not a shell specific problem.
I think it's something more low level, lack of some buffering or using it if TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color. You can see this effect in many applications (mocp, vim) when you force the terminal to be redrawn with ctrl+l. There's no such flicker with gnome-terminal (haven't tested other vte-based, though).
And it's not that there's a major flaw in rxvt-unicode because by simply using tmux I can make this flickering stop in all these situations.

How to Use Interactive Forms in BSP Applications - trouble with demo

Is anyone else out there having trouble with the subject how to guide? https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0e58022-2a39-2a10-69a8-c1a892e2b3f4

Hi Surija,
there is an issue with Internet Explorer that causes this problem when you launch the BSP applicaiton using the test menu in SE80. The issue does not occur with Firefox...very strange I know.
Anyway, to get around this you just copy the BSP application URL and open a browser and paste the URL in...so essentially do not use the "Test" in SE80 to launch your application.
Hope this fixes your problem!
Cheers,
Jeff

I used to have the iPhoto application and for some reason it is now gone. Do I have to pay 14.99 in order for me to be able to have it again or is there a way I can get it back. I have a MacBook pro 10.9.5 .

Depends on what you had
If you had iPhoto version 9.5.1 then you can reinstall from the app store under purchases
If you had any version of iPhoto '11 then you can install for free from the App store
If you had any earlier version of iPhoto (iPhoto '09 version 8.x.x) or older then you need to purchase iPhoto '11 version 9.x.x from the app store
If you had iPhoto '08 (version 7.x.x) or older then you also need to download and run the iPhoto library upgraded prior to launching the new iPhoto
