2 .TH mrxvt 1 mrxvt\-0.5.3
5 \- A tabbed VT102 terminal emulator for X Window System
15 program is a terminal emulator for X Window System. It provides
17 compatible terminals for programs that cannot use the window system directly.
22 version 2.7.11 CVS, and features most of functionality
23 of rxvt, with a few major enhancements (namely multiple tabs, and transparency). Like rxvt,
25 aims to be light, fast, flexible and desktop independent, thus KDE or GNOME are not required.
27 The primary features of
29 include (but are not limited to) multiple tabs, dynamically changeable tab titles, customisable command for each tab, input broadcasting, true translucent window, fast pseudo transparency with tinting, user supplied background images (XPM, JPEG, PNG), off-focus fading, text shadow, multiple style (NeXT, Rxvt, Xterm, SGI, Plain) scrollbars, XIM, multi-language support (Chinese, Korean, Japanese), freetype font and logging.

35 For backward compatibility, if

54 Most options can be set from your
56 file using the option name listed in brackets as
58 The option name can also be used as a "long option" from the command line (i.e. by prefixing it with
62 as appropriate. For example
63 mrxvt -tr -shade 85 +trt
65 mrxvt --transparent --shading 85 ++transparentTabbar
66 which is the same as putting the lines
67 Mrxvt.transparent: True
69 Mrxvt.transparentTabbar: False
73 All options are case sensitive. Some options are similar to those of other terminals, so if you find the explanation given here insufficient, we strongly recommend you look in the

121 have slightly different terminal capabilities than those of xterm(1). Thus
123 will not always work properly with the terminal set to
125 and we recommend setting this value to
127 instead. However some systems have incorrect (or even missing) terminfo(1) or termcap(1) entries for the terminal
129 If you experience problems with this, the ideal solution would be to correct your systems termcap and terminfo entries. If you are unable to do that, then you can try setting your terminal to
131 and hope everything works properly.
133 .SS Transparency related options
137 Translucent window (true transparent) background opacity degree.
139 is an integer between 0 and 100. This option needs translucent support by the X server, e.g., Xorg 6.8, and overrides the pseudo-transparency.
143 Translucent window opacity degree increase/decrease interval.
145 is an integer between 0 and 100
146 [\fBopacityDegree\fP]
147 Enable / disable background pseudo-transparency. To use this feature you must set your desktop wallpaper using an Esetroot compatible program ( i.e. a program that publishes the wallpaper using the
149 atom). Some programs that will do this are
154 `\fB--retain-pixmap\fP'
155 option, or KDE. Note: To use your precious
156 \fBbackgroundFade\fP, tinting
159 options, you MUST set the desktop wallpaper in an Esetroot way.
161 If you choose NOT to set the background in an Esetroot compatible way, then you can still have transparency using this option. (You must also enable the
163 option). Background changes made by FvwmBacker, xsetbg (xli) or Esetroot compatible programs, will be automatically detected. However changes made by
166 or other non-Esetroot compatible programs will not be detected. If you're hell bent on non-Esetroot compatible programs to set your background, then do something like
167 xsetroot -solid "#202040" && fvwm-root -d
168 Note: To use your precious
169 \fBbackgroundFade\fP, tinting

267 sends to the shell when an ENQ (control-E) character is passed through. It may contain escape values as described in the entry on
271 \fBbackspaceKey\fP \fIstring\fP
272 The string to send when the backspace key is pressed. If set to DEC or unset it will send Delete (code 127) or, if shifted, Backspace (code 8) - which can be reversed with the appropriate DEC private mode escape sequence.
274 \fBbgRefreshInterval\fP \fIdelay\fP
275 Specify the delay (ms) to wait before refreshing the background in pseudo-transparency. Generally tinting and refreshing the background is slow (especially with XRender), and causes lags while dragging the window. This delay causes enables the window to be dragged smoothly. If you have a fast system, you can reduce or disable this (by setting it to 0). The default value is 100ms.
277 \fBboldFont\fP\fIN\fP \fIfont\fP
278 Specifies bold font to use along with fontset
281 \fBboldColors\fP \fITrue\fP|\fIFalse\fP
282 If false, the bold primary colors (0 -- 7) will be rendered using the brighter analogues (8--15) in a regular font. If true a bold font will be used. See also
285 \fBcolor\fP\fIN\fP \fIcolor\fP
286 Use the specified colour for the colour value
288 where 0-7 corresponds to low-intensity (normal) colours and 8-15 corresponds to high-intensity colours.
290 \fBcolorBD\fP \fIcolor\fP
291 Color to use to display bold text. If unspecified, the text will be displayed using a bold font / overstrike.
293 \fBcolorRV\fP \fIcolor\fP
294 Color to use to display reverse video text. If unspecified, the text will be displayed as reverse video.
296 \fBcolorUL\fP \fIcolor\fP
297 Color to use to display underlined text. If unspecified, the text will be displayed as underlined.
299 \fBcursorColor2\fP \fIcolor\fP
300 Second color of cursor.
302 \fBcutChars\fP \fIstring\fP
303 String containing all characters to be treated as one word for double click selection. If you want double clicks to select URL's, then set this to a string containing all letters (both upper and lower case), digits and punctuation you find in urls.
305 \fBdeleteKey\fP \fIstring\fP
306 The string to send when the delete key (not the keypad delete key) is pressed. If unset it will send the sequence traditionally associated with the
310 \fBfocusDelay\fP \fImsec\fP
311 The time interval (in mili-seconds) to wait after getting / losing focus, before fading the colors and changing the background color as specified by the
315 options. Set it to 0 if you want your colors faded immediately on focus change events.
317 This option is there mainly to work around a bug in some window managers which send focus in immediately followed by focus out events when moving windows, or pressing Alt+Tab (e.g. fvwm-2.5.16).
319 \fBfont\fP\fIN\fP \fIfont\fP
320 Specify the alternative font
321 \fIn\fP. ncan be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
323 \fBgreektoggle_key\fP \fIkeysym\fP
324 Key to toggle into greek keyboard mapping. See
328 \fBhighlightColor\fP \fIcolor\fP
329 Color to use for selection. If not specified, reverse video is used. (Note blinking text is also displayed with this color).
331 \fBmapAlert\fP \fITrue\fP|\fIFalse\fP
332 If true, de-iconifies the window when a bell is received.
334 \fBmfont\fP\fIn\fP font
335 Specify alternative multiple character font
338 \fBpointerBlankDelay\fP \fIdelay\fP
339 Delay (ms) to blank pointer after.
341 \fBprintPipe\fP \fIcmd\fP
342 Specify a command pipe for vt100 printer.
344 \fBrefreshLimit\fP \fIN\fP
347 are to be used to replace the
349 behaviour of other terminal emulators (and previous version of
351 Generally when data is available from a tab,
353 reads as much of it as is available (up to our buffer size), and process it. After we are done processing it (generally takes a fraction of a mili-second), we look for more data from the tab. If we obtain not more than
355 characters, then we request a screen refresh (which takes a while, especially if you use Xft with anti aliasing). If we obtain more than
357 characters from the tab, then we delay the screen refresh until the tab eventually has either
359 or fewer characters of output, or the tab has (cumulatively) produced at least
363 The default value is 0. On new fast machines, this is probably the best. If you find screen refreshes laggy on on slow older machines, then increase this value a little (say to 10). Setting it to something enormous (say BUFSIZ) will cause
365 to request screen refreshes every time the active tab has data, and effectively disable the so called
368 \fBscrollColor\fP \fIcolor\fP
369 Color of scrollbar (see also
372 \fBselectStyle\fP \fImode\fP
373 Set mouse selection style to

394 will refresh the screen only after the tab has stopped
398 \fBsmartResize\fP \fITrue\fP|\fIFalse\fP
399 Enable / disable smart resize. When the tabbar is shown, or font size is increased, the resize terminal window could be partially off screen. If
400 \fBsmartResize\fPis enabled, then \fBNo\fP tries to move the terminal window to stay on screen.
402 \fBsmoothResize\fP \fITrue\fP|\fIFalse\fP
403 Enable / disable smooth resize. If enabled, then the \fBNo\fP window is resized in pixel increments (instead of character increments). This is useful if you want a full screen / maximized \fBNo\fP window that covers the entire screen (without leaving an annoying few pixel wide strip uncovered).
406 Color of scrollbar trough (see also
409 \fBuseFifo\fP \fITrue\fP|\fIFalse\fP

416 window with process ID
419 The meaning and syntax of this option might change in future versions.
421 \fBveryBright\fP \fITrue\fP|\fIFalse\fP
424 is false, then bold primary colors are rendered as bright colors with a bold font (this was the default behaviour in 0.5.2 and earlier versions).
425 .SH CONFIGURATION FILE SYNTAX
427 A line in the config file generally looks like this
428 ClassName.OptionName: Value
429 Blank lines, and lines beginning with
431 are ignored (comments).
433 The ClassName is the name specified via the
439 starts up, it ONLY reads options with ClassName
442 or the class specified via the
445 \fI/etc/mrxvt/mrxvtrc.sample\fP
446 for how this feature can be used.
448 The OptionName is the long name of the option you want to set. It can be any long option (listed under the
450 sub section), or is specified in brackets as
452 alongside regular options in this man page. Finally Value is the value of this option.
456 The following is an example

484 The menu system is similar to rxvt's menus (see the included file
486 with a few enhancements, and a few notable exceptions:
487 The menus can use a proportionally spaced font under Xft (

511 You have several default keyboard shortcuts to ease the use of mrxvt. The default gnome-terminal, Konsole, rxvt shortcuts are predefined for you. You can also define your own shortcuts as described in
512 .B "Defining custom shortcuts" .
514 The following key combinations are defined by default. These are defined in the system configuration file
515 \fI/etc/mrxvt/mrxvtrc\fP,
516 and can be disabled using the option

693 man page in a new tab.
696 Enable / disable all keyboard macros (except this one of course).
700 mechanism used in versions 0.4.2 and earlier is now obsolete. It has been replaced by the
702 functionality (described below) as of version 0.5.0.
704 You can define your own keyboard shortcuts in your configuration file by using the following syntax:
705 Mrxvt.macro.[modifiers+]keyname: action
710 separated list of modifiers
718 The first four refer to the respective modifier keys.
722 to make the macro available ONLY when the primary screen is displayed (e.g.
724 macros will not be effective when you are running
726 but will be effective when you are at the shell prompt). Finally
730 to add the macro action to any previous action associated to that particular key. For instance
731 Mrxvt.macro.Primary+Shift+Return: Esc \eec
732 Mrxvt.macro.Primary+Add+Shift+Return: Str ^M
733 will define the macro
735 to first send the escape sequence
739 (which has the effect of clearing the scroll back buffer) and then send
741 to the child process, but ONLY in the primary screen. If you're running a shell, then this effectively clears the scroll back buffer and executes the command.
745 modifier is not specified, then the macro action replaces any previous action (if any) associated to the specified key. It is an error to add a macro to a non-existing macro. Currently one key can have at most 16 actions associated to it (this might be reduced to 8 in future).
748 is the name of the key you want to bind to the specified macro. Non alpha numeric keys (e.g. punctuation, or cursor/keypad keys) are specified by using their keyname, which you can find by xev(1), or looking directly in the system header file
749 \fI/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h\fP.
751 In case you want to unbind a default keyboard macro, just bind the appropriate key to the function
754 Mrxvt.macro.Ctrl+Shift+t: Dummy
755 will disable the default keyboard shortcut
757 If you want to disable all keyboard macros, use the option
759 (which can also be accessed via a pop-up menu). The default keyboard macros are defined in the system configuration file
760 \fI/etc/mrxvt/mrxvtrc\fP
761 so if you only want to disable all default shortcuts keys, don't read the system configuration file by using the
765 Notice that keyboard shortcuts definitions are incompatible with X Windows own resource parsing API, i.e., XGetDefaults. So, to enable the keyboard shortcuts, you will need to enable resources but disable xgetdefault when you configure

773 Clear an existing keyboard shortcut
776 Send the escape sequence
784 to the child process.
786 \fBExec \fIcommand\fP\fP
789 asynchronously. The command run without any controlling shell or TTY. This is generally used to launch X11 programs (e.g. open the selected text in firefox). If you want a command run in a new tab, see the

797 option (thus for instance beginning it with
801 for word splitting and execution). However keep in mind that like all macro arguments,

985 is specified, then the entire scroll back is printed (instead of just the current screen). If
987 is specified, then every screen line is terminated with a newline char (by default screen lines that wrap to the next line are not terminated with a newline). Finally, if command is specified it is used as the printer pipe (if not the value of
