Description
This a ticket to include rxvt-unicode terminal emulator in the book.
Features.
- Works without issues in every locale.
- Embedded perl interpreter (--enable-perl).
Some things you can do with some perl extensions,already included in the distribution.
Tabbed terminal.Shift-Left and Shift-Right will switch to the tab left or right of the current one, while Shift-Down creates a new tab.
Middle click in an url,opens the program specified in the resources. urlLauncher.eg. URxvt*urlLauncher:firefox or by starting the urxvtc client like urxvtc -pe tabbed
Incremental scrollback buffer search pressing Alt+s.
Popup menu to Ctrl-Button2 that lets you toggle options at runtime.
- Daemon.
That means you can start the daemon (urxvtd) and then you can connect the clients (urxvtc) to it.Very efficient in terms of memory usage. Warning.If the daemon crashes for some reason you will loose the clients too.However this is a very rare case;In more than 2 years of heavy usage I didn't have such a crash.
*Active development.
Instructions (some of the config options could be excluded):
./configure --prefix=/usr \ --enable-xft \ --enable-font-styles \ --enable-transparency \ --enable-tinting \ --enable-fading \ --enable-utmp \ --enable-wtmp \ --enable-lastlog \ --disable-rxvt-scroll \ --disable-next-scroll \ --disable-xterm-scroll \ --enable-perl \ --with-x
Current version is 7.9. Download link for anyone is interested to give it a try and for testing reasons. http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-7.9.tar.bz2
Some of the options you can put in the ~/.Xdefaults (preferable according with the author instead of .Xresources).

Looks like a good candidate for inclusion from here. Post-6.2 of course. Thanks, Ag.

A small correction.
Middle click in an url,opens the program specified in the resources.
eg.
URxvt*urlLauncher:firefox
and by starting the urxvtc client like that.
urxvtc -pe mark-urls
where -pe stands for (p)erl(e)xtension.
