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] vim-powerline with rxvt-unicode

    Hi! I was wondering if anyone has been able to make the vim plugin vim-powerline work with urxvt.
    It works fine with gvim and with gnome-terminal once i change the encoding to utf-8. I think there must be something missing form my urxvt configuration.
    Here's my .Xresources, maybe some of you guys knows what i'm missing:
    URxvt.imLocale: pt_PT.UTF-8
    URxvt.scrollBar: off
    URxvt.font: xft:Inconsolata-dz-Powerline:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:hinting=true
    URxvt*loginShell:true
    URxvt*termName:rxvt-unicode
    URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher,tabbed
    URxvt.urlLauncher: /usr/bin/iceweasel

    I use powerline, but i have it installed via YADR. I had to tweak settings here-and-there as it's oriented towards a OSX install, but on the whole it worked out of the box. What exactly is the issue you're seeing? I think the only special stuff I did was making sure I had suitable fonts, and a snippet along the lines of:
    if has("gui_running")
    " GUI stuff
    else
    colorscheme solarized
    set background=dark
    let g:Powerline_symbols = 'unicode'
    endif
    EDIT: BTW, I can highly recommend the YADR configs; they are nicely organized and use a lot of nice plugins for any serious dev work.

  • 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.

  • Bug?: rxvt-unicode not allowed to run top, irssi and so on

    Didn't know where to post this, please tell me if I'm on the wrong place.
    With the latest RXVT-unicode-package (from comunity), I'm not allowed to run programs like top, screen and irssi in it. I've tried to install it on two diferent computers, with the same result:
    [kristian@localhost ~]$ top
    'rxvt-unicode': unknown terminal type.
    [kristian@localhost ~]$ screen
    Cannot find terminfo entry for 'rxvt-unicode'.
    [kristian@localhost ~]$ irssi
    setupterm() failed for TERM=rxvt-unicode: 0
    Can't initialize screen handling, quitting.
    You can still use the dummy mode with -d parameter
    I've seen this happen with earlier binary pacages of "rxvt-unicode." I'm not quite sure how I fixed i back then. I might have built it myself with a PKGBUILD from this forum.
    I can't find urxvt in "/usr/share/terminfo/". I think that's what causes these problems.
    EDIT: Found a cvs-vesion on the aur that works. LINK

  • [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`.

  • Where can I find rxvt-unicode .Xdefaults options?

    I have yet to find a comprehensive, straightforward listing of the rxvt-unicode settings.
    The Arch wiki is incomplete, and links to http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de … rxvt.1.pod, which doesn't seem to list any tab options.
    Moreover, some options in .Xdefaults seem to only work with the prefix .URxvt (e.g. tab-fg and tab-bg), and some only seem to work with the prefix .urxvt (e.g. scrollTtyKeypress). I really can't figure out when to use which, aside from trial and error.
    And even though every resource seems to agree that URxvt.tabbed.new-button: false should disable the clickable New tab button, it doesn't.
    urxvt --help still doesn't distinguish between which case-sensitive prefixes are required.
    Can anybody shed some light on this?
    .Xdefaults:
    urxvt.depth: 32
    urxvt.background: [80]#0C0020
    urxvt.scrollBar: false
    urxvt.scrollTtyOutput: false

    The 'NEW' button is off be default, but you can enable it, just like it says in the wiki.
    The article is wrong; the New button isn't disabled by default, at least it wasn't for me. I only added lines pertaining to it when I accidentally clicked it and got a new tab.

    Thanks, but I don't want tab bar autohiding. I don't like my window shifting around when I open a second tab (which I almost always do).

  • [Solved] no non-ASCII character input in rxvt-unicode

    Hello everyone,
    For some days now, I can't write any non-ASCII characters any more in rxvt-unicode and rxvt-unicode-patched. Unfortunately, downgrading the rxvt-unicode package doesn't seem to help. To have at least a temporary solution, I'd like to know at least which packages I could try to downgrade as well. Any ideas, anyone?
    greez,
    maxmin
    Last edited by Maximalminimalist (2011-03-12 13:12:26)

    When I try to type a non-ASCII-character I get nothing at all. This happens with my custom keyboard layout (modified programmer dvorak) and in some layouts I already tried (us: altgr-intl, ch, de and fr)
    When I paste a non-ASCII characters in rxvt-unicode I get
    maxmin ~ $ ?
    This happens only on my x86_64 desktop which is more up to date than my i686 laptop. (I'm afraid now to do any updates.)
    EDIT: I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean with locale settings. What do you mean with that?
    EDIT2: Maybe just typing locale in the terminal is what you mean:
    maxmin ~ $ locale
    locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
    LANG=en_US.utf8
    LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
    LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
    LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
    LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
    LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
    LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
    LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"

    LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
    LC_ALL=
    With other terminal emulators I get sometimes also nothing and sometimes right displayed but wrong interpreted character in vim. I didn't take notes while doing that but I'll try again if needed.

  • [SOLVED] rxvt-unicode 9.17 + tmux = visual artifacts on resize

    Getting visual artifacts with the latest urxvt update.
    Thinking possibly an upstream issue, but would like confirmation first.
    Using dwm 6.0 with resizehints = False, if that matters.
    Can anyone reproduce and/or recommend a fix?
    Reproduce:
    - Run tmux in rxvt-unicode 9.17-1
    - Fill terminal with text, e.g. `ls -la`
    - Resize window
    Expected:
    Actual:
    Observation:
    If affected window is placed behind another window (e.g. by changing tags in dwm, or by dragging another window over it), the artifacts disappear.
    Edit: Solved
    Temp fix:
    Downgrading to rxvt-unicode 9.16.

    I'm also encountering this issue after upgrading rxvt-unicode to 9.17. I'm using xmonad w/ an accordion layout so the instance of urxvt in which tmux is running is resized on focus resulting in the tmux status line not being removed from the position it was at prior to the resize. I can reproduce the problem while enlarging a floating urxvt+tmux window as well.
    The problem doesn't exist after downgrading to rxvt-unicode 9.16.

  • [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,

    I've had the same problem with Cygwin, so I gave a try... looks like the problem is the whitespace after the colours.

  • File transfer status in rxvt-unicode?

    Hello,
    I had mounted a cifs and had been copying some movies from one of my computers to another through the terminal (mount -t cifs comp1:/share/ ~/somemntpoint) and I realized that I had no idea about the status of the file transfer.  Is there an additional package or some other way to display the status of a file transfer (mv or cp) in rxvt-unicode?  I am just looking for something similar to the status bar you get when you use pacman ( [###-------------]).
    After poking around the internet and the arch forums for a bit I was unable to find a solution.  Hopefully this is not a stupid question.

    You could have started with mv -v pr cp -v. Really doesn't matter what terminal emulator you use. Other than that I have no clue. You could check documentation for mv and cp to see if they respond to signals, although a quick browse didn't have any luck.
    alias cp='cp -v'
    alias mv='mv -v'
    I have this in my ~/.bashrc for this reason.

  • 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.

  • [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] rxvt-unicode not switching to fullscreen

    Hi there.
    I just installed rxvt-unicode and wanted to activate the fullscreen toggle.
    I read on the ArchWiki that I needed the urxvt-fullscreen package from the AUR:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rx … Fullscreen
    After installing it I set the switch key in my ~/.Xdefaults file (Wiki says ~/.Xresources
    but all other sources said .Xdefaults so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong here),
    but when I press it nothing happens. Is there a log file I can check?
    Here's my ~/.Xdefaults:
