[solved] rxvt-unicode (urxvt)

Around the neighborhood, I've been seeing urxvt being used by many and I wonder, how well does it fair with Terminal (xfce4-terminal) that I currently use and the rest of the terminals out there? I'm really interested in knowing what makes this terminal "better" then the rest and why many perfer it.

@voteforpedro36: ok, so "not as easy" as Terminal but quite managable, gotcha.
@fflarex: That's a good point, I don't see anything wrong with Terminal in my current usage, maybe in the future if I come to find a feature that only currently only exists to urxvt, that would be a good reason to switch.
@Purch: Thanks.
@bangkok_manouel: That's cool, can other terminals be deamonized as well?
@apaige: That's good to know, I'm actually using real transparency with xcompmgr and maybe I grow out of it someday but for now I do like taking advantage of it.
@daf666: So ctrl-shift-c, ctrl-shift-v is not what you consider normal? I'm fine with that.
@Inxsible: Cool, thanks for sharing some of the experiences you had with terminals. I can understand now that it doesn't matter what terminal you use, the goal is to find the right terminal that works best for your needs, in this case, you didn't want a slighty bloated terminal that initially supports tabs, though urxvt can, you would have to set that up, so why bother? I want to hear more about this "screen" thing, how does it work for you. That's what I like to hear from users.
@rooloo: Oh really? That might be something I could be concern about in the future, that unless it gets fix in the next release, which then I don't know when that's going to happen or when that might be fixed.
@lang2: So the only question left is, do I need to go lighter? I guess not.
@peets: Could you please explain more details on the mouseless url yanking? It's sound very interesting.
Now I have general question out of curiousity, from everyone's experience, can there every be a light weight application that is more well featured then a bloated piece of software or is it just some features that are not needed, that going lighter is more beneficial in some way?

URxvt*foreground: rgba:aaaa/aaaa/aaaa/7777
I think this is your font color. Have you tried changing it?
XTerm*foreground: White
This one is for xterm so no wonder it doesn't do anything in urxvt.
Edit: Setting
urxvt.foreground: #aaaaaa
does produce dark font, '#ffffff' gets me bright white, as expected.

[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] 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] 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:

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?

I just rebuild and reinstall both perl and rxvt-unicode-256colors packages but still have the error
I think I must give a try to another term and I will quote myself:
I think I will give chance to another terminal , can you give me some proposition? :)
-It must be lightweight,tabbed,and flexible :)
Roxterm is good?
Phh and it must use my .Xdefaults config

Making an rxvt-unicode (urxvt) cursor act the same as a console cursor

Is there a way to emulate the exact same cursor behavior in urxvt as one would find on the Linux console (i.e. not under X11).
I am used to working at the console and in this environment, the cursor is a blinking underscore by default. However, it's color, shape, and blinking behavior can be controlled via character escape sequences. Some applications take advantage of these facilities.
I can configure urxvt to show the cursor as either a block or underscore, and also enable or disable blinking, but these options are either set in a configuration file or at the command line. I cannot figure out how to enable them at run time. The usual to set the cursor escape sequences seem to be ignored.
Has anyone successfully managed this?

bohoomil wrote:
If you mean blinking underscore, put the following to your .Xresources:
URxvt.cursorBlink: 1
URxvt.cursorUnderline: 1
-- or launch urxvt with -bc -uc parameters.
Thanks, though unfortunately these are the configuration options and command line switches that I was referring to. Do you know if there is a way to change the appearance of the cursor at run time? In other words, when the program is running?
Ideally, I'd like urxvt to respond to the ANSI cursor codes which affect the cursor appearance. I've been hunting around trying to determine if this is implemented in urxvt but I haven't found much on the subject in the urxvt man pages.

[SOLVED] rxvt-unicode and Powerline patched fonts

Hey all,
I'm trying to make my zsh prompt look like this - https://gist.github.com/3712874
As it says, it requires patched font. I downloaded two of them - Inconsolata-dz for Powerline and Menlo for Powerline.
If in .Xresources I put Menlo as my font of choice, the prompt looks like in linked page - all characters are displayed properly.
If, however, I put Inconsolata as my font of coice, charcters will fail to show up and those rectangles will be shown. (as if those characters do not exist in that font)
Important thing to note is that BOTH fonts work fine in ViM (with Powerline plugin) - it shows characters which are displayed as rectangles in zsh prompt.
Any ideas?

!URxvt*font: xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:size=10
URxvt*font: xft:Menlo for Powerline:regular:size=10
i also tried xft:Inconsolata-dz for Powerline:Medium:size=10 - didn't work. if i change the font size, it is changed in the terminal too, so unless terminal can interpret size even though i didn't get the font right, i don't think that's it.
i found inconsolata(non dz) for powerline, will try that one now
edit: non dz version doesn't work, same thing as with dz

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

[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
URxvt.matcher.button: 1
URxvt.perl-ext: default,url-select
URxvt.keysym.M-u: perl:url-select:select_next
URxvt.underlineURLs: true
URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-fg: 2
URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-bg: 0
URxvt.tabbed.tab-fg: 3
URxvt.tabbed.tab-bg: 0

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.

[SOLVED] rxvt blinks/flashes when using backspace

I'm using rxvt-unicode and every time I am on an empty line and I hit the backspace, the window flashes the color of the text, which in my case is blue. It gets annoying. Anyway to fix/change this?
My configuration file is as follows
!-- URxvt --!
URxvt*termName: rxvt-unicode
urxvt*geometry: 60*15
URxvt*transparent: false
URxvt*shading: 10
URxvt*background: #060606
URxvt*foreground: #3C7EA6
Urxvt*cursor: #5E468C
Urxvt*font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

URxvt*scrollBar: false
URxvt*urgentOnBell: true
URxvt*visualBell: true
URxvt*smartresize: true
URxvt.depth: 32
Edit: Thanks Karol. It worked.

Try setting
URxvt*visualBell: true
to 'false'.

[SOLVED]missing terminfo entry rxvt-unicode-256color

i've installed rxvt-unicode-patched 9.18-3 from aur. first i could not open any terminal because of missing rxvt-unicode-256color terminfo entry in /usr/share/terminfo/r. i fixed this by adding URxvt*termName: rxvt-256color into .Xresources, but as far as i understand, this is not the right thing to do.
what should i do?

Thank you!
All the best,
Christer
