NAME 
mrxvt - A tabbed VT102 terminal emulator for X Window System 

SYNOPSIS 
[options] [-e cmd ] 

DESCRIPTION 
The program is a terminal emulator for X Window System. It provides DEC VT102 
compatible terminals for programs that cannot use the window system directly. 

is based on rxvt(1) version 2.7.11 CVS, and features most of functionality of 
rxvt, with a few major enhancements (namely multiple tabs, and transparency). 
Like rxvt, aims to be light, fast, flexible and desktop independent, thus KDE or 
GNOME are not required. 

The primary features of 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. 

The default behaviour can be set using the resource configuration file ~/.mrxvtrc 
For backward compatibility, if ~/.mrxvtrc is not found, tries to load 
configuration settings from the files ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources Alternately, 
you can specify which config file to load using the -cf command line option. 

OPTIONS 
This section describes the commandline options accepts. To disable an option, 
prefix it with an `+ ' instead of a `- ' Most options can be set from your ~/.mrxvtrc 
file using the option name listed in brackets as [option_name ] The option name 
can also be used as a "long option" from the command line (i.e. by prefixing it 
with `-- ' or `++ ' as appropriate. For example 

mrxvt -tr -shade 85 +trt


is the same as 

mrxvt --transparent --shading 85 ++transparentTabbar


which is the same as putting the lines 

Mrxvt.transparent:              True
Mrxvt.shading:                  85
Mrxvt.transparentTabbar:        False


in your ~/.mrxvtrc 

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 rxvt(1) and xterm(1) manpages. 

Terminal name and display options 

-display | -d displayname 

X display name, the X server to contact 

-geometry | -g geometry 

geometry at startup [geometry ] 

-ic file [; geometry ] 

application icon file. [appIcon] 

-iconic | +iconic 

start iconic [iconic ] 

-in name 

Icon name for window [iconName ] 

-into WinID 

If given an X window identifier, will reparent its top-level shell widget to 
that window. This is used to embed within other applications. 

-name name 

Client instance, icon, and title strings [clientName ] 

-title string 

title name of the window [title ] 

-tn termname 

The type of terminal should emulate. The value of the TERM environment variable 
is set to this value for all child processes launched by . Note that rxvt and 
most rxvt clones including , have slightly different terminal capabilities than 
those of xterm(1). Thus will not always work properly with the terminal set to 
xterm and we recommend setting this value to rxvt instead. However some systems 
have incorrect (or even missing) terminfo(1) or termcap(1) entries for the 
terminal rxvt 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 xterm and hope everything works 
properly. [termName ] 

Transparency related options 

-o %d 

Translucent window (true transparent) background opacity degree. %d 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. [opacity ] 

-od %d 

Translucent window opacity degree increase/decrease interval. %d is an integer 
between 0 and 100 [opacityDegree ] 

-tr | +tr 

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 _XROOTPMAP_ID atom). Some programs that 
will do this are Esetroot(1), feh(1), fvwm-root1 with the `--retain-pixmap ' 
option, or KDE. Note: To use your precious backgroundFade , tinting or shading 
options, you MUST set the desktop wallpaper in an Esetroot way. [transparent ] 

-trf | +trf 

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 
transparent option). Background changes made by FvwmBacker, xsetbg (xli) or 
Esetroot compatible programs, will be automatically detected. However changes 
made by xv(1), xsetroot(1) 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 

xsetroot -solid "#202040" && fvwm-root -d


Note: To use your precious backgroundFade , tinting or shading options, you MUST 
set the desktop wallpaper in an Esetroot way. [transparentForce ] 

-trm | +trm 

Enable / disable pseudo-transparent menubar. Pseudo-transparency must be turned 
on. [transparentMenubar ] 

-trs | +trs 

Enable / disable pseudo-transparent scrollbar. Pseudo-transparency must be 
turned on. [transparentScrollbar ] 

-trt | +trt 

Enable / disable pseudo-transparent tabbar. Pseudo-transparency must be turned 
on. [transparentTabbar ] 

Background image related options 

-mbpixmap file [; geometry ] 

Menubar background image. Pseudo-transparency must be turned off. [menubarPixmap 
] 

-pixmap file [; geometry ] 

Background image for all terminals if not set individually. Pseudo-transparency 
must be turned off. [Pixmap ] 

-sbpixmap file [; geometry ] 

Scrollbar background image. Pseudo transparency must be turned off. [scrollbarPixmap 
] 

-tbpixmap file [; geometry ] 

Tabbar background image. Pseudo transparency must be turned off. [tabbarPixmap ] 

-tupixmap | +tupixmap 

Apply tabbar background image to tabs. [tabUsePixmap ] 

Scrolling related options 

-mp | +mp 

scroll one page when press mouse wheel button [mouseWheelScrollPage ] 

-sa mode 

Scrollbar alignment ( top | bottom [scrollbarAlign ] 

-sb | +sb 

Hide / show scrollbar [scrollBar ] 

-sbt width 

Scrollbar thickness/width [scrollbarThickness ] 

-si | +si 

Inhibit scrolling on tty output. [scrollTtyOutputInhibit ] 

-sk | +sk 

scroll-on-keypress [scrollTtyKeypress ] 

-sl n 

The number of scrolled lines to save (for all tabs) if not set individually. The 
maximal number of saved lines is 65535. [saveLines ] 

-sr | +sr 

Scrollbar on right [scrollbarRight ] 

-ss mode 

Scrollbar style. mode should be one of plain , xterm , rxvt , next or sgi [scrollbarStyle 
] 

-st | +st 

Draw floating scrollbar (i.e. without a trough). [scrollbarFloating ] 

Color related options 

-bg color 

Background color [background ] 

-bd color 

Border color [borderColor ] 

-bgfade %d 

(Obsolete) Make colors %d darker for background image or pseudo-transparent 
background. %d is an integer between 0 and 100. This is like tinting the 
background with black. This option is obsolete, and you should use the tint and 
shade options instead. [backgroundFade ] 

-bgtype type 

Transformation type for background pixmap (not implemented yet) 

-cr color 

color of cursor [cursorColor ] 

-fade %d 

Make colors %d darker when mrxvt looses focus. %d is an integer between 0 and

-pr color 

color of pointer [pointerColor ] 

-shade %d 

Shade background to %d degree when tinting the background. %d is an integer 
between 0 and 100. You must also define a color using the tint option. When 
compiled with XRender support, the tabbar, menubar and scroll bar are tinted 
with their respective background colors for pseudo-transparent terminals. [shading 
] 

-tabbg color 

background color of active tab. [tabBackground ] 

-tabfg color 

Foreground color of tabbar [tabForeground ] 

-tint color 

Color tinted on background image or pseudo-transparent background. This works 
differently depending on the tint type: With XRender (when compiled with --enable-xrender), 
color is the color you want to tint your background to. The brighter the color, 
the less transparent it will be (regardless of the shade degree specified by -shade 
) For example, if you want your background tinted black, set color to `#000000' 
however if you want a white tinted transparent background, set color to some 
level of grey (e.g. `#808080' but NOT to `#ffffff' 

When compiled without XRender support, color works like a color mask. Thus if 
you want a black tinted background, set color to `#ffffff' 

The shade degree (using -shade must be defined as well. [tintColor ] 

-tinttype type 

Function applied for background tinting (not implemented yet). 

-ts color 

color of text shadow [textShadow ] 

-tsm mode 

Text shadow mode, specify shadow position of text: left | right | top | bottom | 
topleft | topright | botleft | botright | none [textShadowMode ] 

-txttype type 

Function applied for text drawing (not implemented yet) 

-ufbg color 

Default background color when the terminal window looses focus. [ufBackground ]

large line space if the size of font and mfont are very different. The -xft 
option must be enabled [xftNomFont ] 

-xftpfn font 

Specify a proportionally spaced font to use for drawing tab-titles. If set, the 
tab bar behaves like Firefox's tab-bar: All tabs have the same width, and the

Tabs and command related options 

-aht 

Automatically hide or show the tab bar depending on the number of tabs. On 
startup, the tabbar is shown only if there are more than one tabs present. If 
there is only one tab, and a new one is created, then the tabbar is shown. If 
there are two tabs and one is closed, then the tabbar is hidden. A keyboard 
shortcut used at any time to hide / show the tabbar. [autohideTabbar ] 

-at | +at 

Run command specified with -e on all tabs (by default the command specified by -e 
is only used for the first tab opened). This causes the profile option command 
to be ignored. However a command specified via the NewTab macro is honored. [cmdAllTabs 
] 

-bt | +bt 

Show tabbar at bottom. [bottomTabbar ] 

-e [arguments ... ] 

Specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in the window. 
By default this command is only run initially, and all tabs created after 
startup will run the default shell (or program supplied by -profile %d ). This 
behaviour can be overridden with the -at option. [command ] 

-hb | +hb 

Hide buttons in the tabbar. [hideButtons ] 

-het string 

Message to display in tabs after the child process exits. (This string is escape 
and percent interpolated). [holdExitText ] 

-heT string 

Set the title of tabs to string after the process in the tab exits. (This string 
is escape and percent interpolated). [holdExitTitle ] 

-hold mask 

Hold the tab open after the child process in it exits. mask is the mask of flags 
which control weather the tab will be held open based on the exit status of the 
child process. If the lowest bit (0x01) of mask is set, then the tab will always 
be held open after the child exits. If the next bit (0x02) is set, then the tab 
will only be held open if the child exits abnormally (e.g. via abort(1)). If the 
third bit (0x04) is set, then the tab will be held open if the child exits with 
non-zero status. 

NOTE: In previous versions of this was a boolean option. For backward 
compatibility, the value of True , On, Yes will be treated as 1 and anything 
illegal will be treated as 0 The default is 0x06. [holdExit ] 

-ht | +ht 

Hide tabbar on initialization [hideTabbar ] 

-htb | +htb 

Highlight inactive tabs only when bell sounds. Default is to highlight inactive 
tabs whenever they produce output. [highlightTabOnBell ] 

-ip profiles 

profiles is a comma separated list of profiles numbers. On startup opens each of 
these profiles in a tab. [initProfileList ] 

-ls | +ls 

Indicates that the shell that is started in the window will be a login shell (i.e., 
the first character of argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell that it 
should read the user's .login or .profile). [loginShell ] 

-mtw width 

The maximum width (in characters) of the displayed tabs. This can not be larger 
than 40. If you use Xft, then you might want to use the minVisibleTabs option 
instead. [maxTabWidth ] 

-mvt n 

When using xftPFont to display tabs, keep at least n tabs visible. [minVisibleTabs 
] 

-profile N . option value 

Set option to value in profile N When a new tab is created with profile N it 
uses all options that are set for this profile. Currently the only options that 
can be set per profile are Pixmap , background , command , foreground , 
saveLines , holdExit , holdExitText , holdExitTitle , tabTitle , titleFormat , 
winTitleFormat and workingDirectory Then all the settings from that profile 
number are used. 

N can be any integer between 0 and the compiled in maximum (default 5). The 
profile number 0 is special, and contains default settings which are used for 
all profiles where this option is not set (e.g. -profile0.tt mrxvt sets the tab 
title to mrxvt for all profiles where the tab title has not been set). In this 
case the -profile0. can be omitted entirely (i.e. -profile0.tt is equivalent to 
-tt ) 

This option is intended to replace the -vt %d .xx options from version 0.5.0. 
The old -vt %d .xx would set options for the %d th tab. This causes inconsistent 
behaviour when the user moves / closes tabs. The behaviour of the -profile 
option is to set options for a particular profile, and then these settings can 
be associated (on demand) to newly created tabs. [profile N . option ] 

-ps | +ps 

Protect tab from being closed if it is using the secondary screen, for example, 
when the user is running vim(1) or mutt(1), this can prevent the terminal from 
being accidentally closed. [protectSecondary ] 

-sti | +sti 

Synchronize icon name with tab title when switch to a new tab or the title of 
the active tab changes. [syncTabIcon ] 

-stt | +stt 

Synchronize terminal title with tab title when switch to a new tab or the title 
of the active tab changes. (See also the -wtf option). [syncTabTitle ] 

-tnum N 

OBSOLETE. Opens N tabs on startup. For backward compatibility, the tabs are 
opened with profile 0, 1, ... N -1 [initTermNumber ] 

-tt string 

Title of the tab [tabTitle ] 

-tf format 

If set, this controls the displayed title of each tab. format is % interpolated, 
and the result is displayed as the tab title. 

NOTE: Currently this option requires the tab titles to be drawn with a 
proportionally spaced font (which is currently only possible with Xft). Also, 
this option only affects the displayed tab title, and thus %t will still expand 
to the actual tab title, as set via an escape sequence, or macro. For example, 
setting this option to `%n. %t ' will cause all the tabs to be numbered. [titleFormat 
] 

-ut | +ut 

Utmp inhibit. [utmpInhibit ] 

-vbf | +vbf 

If unset, colored bold text will not be rendered using overstrike / bold font. 
See also boldColors and veryBright [veryBoldFont ] 

-wd 

Working directory of the child process. If non-empty, then the child process is 
started in this directory. If set to `.' then the child process is run in the 
working directory of the current tab if possible. On Linux, this is the default. 
(NOTE: It is not always possible to find the working directory of the current 
tab. This works fine on Linux, but causes problems on other systems [e.g. 
OpenBSD], which is why it is only enabled by default on Linux). [workingDirectory 
] 

-wtf format 

Controls the format of the window title. If set, and the option -stt is used, 
then the window title is set to format (after % interpolation), instead of the 
tab title. [winTitleFormat ]

Enable / disable broadcasting input to all terminals [broadcast ] 

-bci number 

Cursor blink interval (ms) [cursorBlinkInterval ] 

-bl | +bl 

Use a borderless window. [borderLess ] 

-blc cmd 

Bell command instead of beeping. If cmd begins with `!' then it is passed to /bin/sh 
-c for execution. Otherwise it is split into words at spaces or tabs only, and 
executed via execvp(3). If you don't want a space or tab to cause word splitting, 
then precede it with a `\ ' If you want to pass `\ ' as an argument, double the 
`\' 

Note: Only backslashes (or chains of backslashes) that precede a space or tab 
character are treated specially. That is `\\a' will be left untouched, however `\\ 
' will expand to a `\' and the ` ' will cause a word break, and `\ ' will expand 
to a ` ' which does not cause a word break. [bellCommand ] 

-bw | -w number 

external border width [externalBorder ] 

-desktop number 

Desktop to place the window (for gnome compatible window manager). The number 
starts from 0, NOT 1! [desktop ] 

-dm | +dm 

Enable / disable all keyboard macros. This functionality can be toggled at 
runtime via a pop-up menu, or the ToggleMacros keyboard shortcut. NOTE: When 
keyboard macros are disabled, the ToggleMacros keyboard macro will still work. 
Thus you can re-enable your keyboard macros via the keyboard using this function. 
[disableMacros ]

fatal, error, warn, info, verbose, and debug. The latter, the more information 
is printed 

-cf filename

-path path 

Colon delimited list of directories to search for background images and menu 
files. first searches for the file in the current directory, then in the

environment variable PATH_ENV and finally tries in the user configuration 
directory ~/.mrxvt and the (compiled in) system wide configuration directory /etc/mrxvt 
[path ] 

-sid string 

Client identity of mrxvt for X session management [smClientID ] 

-sm | +sm

Long options 
The following options do not have a ``short'' form. If these options are to be 
used on the command line, they must be prefixed with a `-- ' (or `++ ' for 
boolean options). They can of course be used in the configuration file. 

answerBackString string 

Specify the reply sends to the shell when an ENQ (control-E) character is passed 
through. It may contain escape values as described in the entry on keysym 
following. 

backspaceKey string 

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. 

bgRefreshInterval delay 

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. 

boldFont N font 

Specifies bold font to use along with fontset N 

boldColors True | False 

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 
veryBright 

color N color 

Use the specified colour for the colour value N where 0-7 corresponds to low-intensity 
(normal) colours and 8-15 corresponds to high-intensity colours. 

colorBD color 

Color to use to display bold text. If unspecified, the text will be displayed 
using a bold font / overstrike. 

colorRV color 

Color to use to display reverse video text. If unspecified, the text will be 
displayed as reverse video. 

colorUL color 

Color to use to display underlined text. If unspecified, the text will be 
displayed as underlined. 

cursorColor2 color 

Second color of cursor. 

cutChars string 

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. 

deleteKey string 

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 Execute key. 

focusDelay msec 

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 -fade 
and -ufbg options. Set it to 0 if you want your colors faded immediately on 
focus change events. 

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). 

font N font 

Specify the alternative font n . n can be 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. 

greektoggle_key keysym 

Key to toggle into greek keyboard mapping. See README.greek for details. 

highlightColor color 

Color to use for selection. If not specified, reverse video is used. (Note 
blinking text is also displayed with this color). 

mapAlert True | False 

If true, de-iconifies the window when a bell is received. 

mfont n font 

Specify alternative multiple character font n 

pointerBlankDelay delay 

Delay (ms) to blank pointer after. 

printPipe cmd 

Specify a command pipe for vt100 printer. 

refreshLimit N 

This option and skipPages are to be used to replace the `jump scroll' behaviour 
of other terminal emulators (and previous version of ) Generally when data is 
available from a tab, 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 N 
characters, then we request a screen refresh (which takes a while, especially if 
you use Xft with anti aliasing). If we obtain more than N characters from the 
tab, then we delay the screen refresh until the tab eventually has either N or 
fewer characters of output, or the tab has (cumulatively) produced at least 
skipPages of data. 

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 
to request screen refreshes every time the active tab has data, and effectively 
disable the so called `jump scrolling' 

scrollColor color 

Color of scrollbar (see also troughColor ) 

selectStyle mode 

Set mouse selection style to old which is 2.20, oldword which is xterm style 
with 2.20 old word selection, or anything else which gives xterm style selection. 

skipPages N 

This option and refreshLimit are to be used to replace the `jump scroll' 
behaviour of other terminal emulators (and previous version of ) If the screen 
refresh is delayed because of the refreshLimit option, then will refresh the 
screen every N pages of output. The default is 25. If you set it to a very large 
value (say INT_MAX), then will refresh the screen only after the tab has stopped 
`flat out' scrolling. 

smartResize True | False 

Enable / disable smart resize. When the tabbar is shown, or font size is 
increased, the resize terminal window could be partially off screen. If 
smartResize is enabled, then tries to move the terminal window to stay on screen. 

smoothResize True | False 

Enable / disable smooth resize. If enabled, then the window is resized in pixel 
increments (instead of character increments). This is useful if you want a full 
screen / maximized window that covers the entire screen (without leaving an 
annoying few pixel wide strip uncovered). 

troughColor 

Color of scrollbar trough (see also scrollColor ) 

useFifo True | False 

If enabled, then mrxvt will create a fifo(7)Pa/tmp/.mrxvt-%pid and listen for 
macros on it. To execute macros, just write them to this fifo. For example 

/bin/echo -e "NewTab\nRaise" >> /tmp/.mrxvt-%pid


creates a new tab and raises the window with process ID %pid NOTE: The meaning 
and syntax of this option might change in future versions. 

veryBright True | False 

If true, and if boldColors 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). 

CONFIGURATION FILE SYNTAX 
A line in the config file generally looks like this 

ClassName.OptionName:   Value


Blank lines, and lines beginning with `# ' are ignored (comments). 

The ClassName is the name specified via the -name option (by default `mrxvt ' 
When starts up, it ONLY reads options with ClassName `Mrxvt ' `XTerm ' or the 
class specified via the -name option. See /etc/mrxvt/mrxvtrc.sample for how this 
feature can be used. 

The OptionName is the long name of the option you want to set. It can be any 
long option (listed under the Sx Long Options sub section), or is specified in 
brackets as [option_name ] alongside regular options in this man page. Finally 
Value is the value of this option. 

Example 
The following is an example ~/.mrxvtrc file, or in a configuration file you will 
load with -cf option at startup. You can consult the doc/mrxvtrc.sample in the 
directory for more details. 

Mrxvt.profile0.tabTitle:        term1
Mrxvt.profile1.tabTitle:        term2
Mrxvt.profile2.tabTitle:        term3
Mrxvt.profile0.saveLines:       600

Mrxvt.foreground:               white
Mrxvt.background:               black


MENUS 
The menu system is similar to rxvt's menus (see the included file rxvtRef.txt 
with a few enhancements, and a few notable exceptions: 

The menus can use a proportionally spaced font under Xft ( 

-xftpfn which is significantly less ugly than a mono-spaced font. 

supports pop-up menus. If you create a menu named PopupButton N (where N is 1, 2, 
or 3) then that menu is popped up when you control click (with the appropriate 
mouse button) on the terminal window. Additionally if you right click on the Tab 
bar, then the menu PopupButton1 is popped up. 

To create a menu containing a list of all open tabs, create an empty menu called 

PopupButton N (which will be popped on control click's as described above). To 
include a list of all open tabs as a sub menu, create a sub-menu called `Switch 
to tab' 

Menu actions are completely different in 

than the original implementation in rxvt(1). The menu actions are exactly the 
same as macro actions, and are described in the section Sx Defining custom 
shortcuts . 

On startup 

reads the file default.menu which contains the default menu definitions. The 
file is searched for in your search path (specified by option -path ) 

KEYBOARD AND MOUSE SHORTCUTS 
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 Sx Defining custom shortcuts . 

Default keyboard shortcuts 
The following key combinations are defined by default. These are defined in the 
system configuration file /etc/mrxvt/mrxvtrc and can be disabled using the 
option -nsc See the next section for instructions on defining your own custom 
keyboard shortcuts.

Defining custom shortcuts 
NOTE: The `hotkey' mechanism used in versions 0.4.2 and earlier is now obsolete. 
It has been replaced by the `macro' functionality (described below) as of 
version 0.5.0. 

You can define your own keyboard shortcuts in your configuration file by using 
the following syntax: 

Mrxvt.macro.[modifiers+]keyname:         action


Here `modifiers' is a `+' separated list of modifiers `Ctrl ' `Alt ' `Meta ' `Shift 
' `Primary ' and `Add ' The first four refer to the respective modifier keys. `Primary 
' tells to make the macro available ONLY when the primary screen is displayed (e.g. 
`Primary ' macros will not be effective when you are running vim(1), but will be 
effective when you are at the shell prompt). Finally `Add ' tells to add the 
macro action to any previous action associated to that particular key. For 
instance 

Mrxvt.macro.Primary+Shift+Return:       Esc \ec
Mrxvt.macro.Primary+Add+Shift+Return:   Str ^M


will define the macro `Shift+Return' to first send the escape sequence `\ec' to 
(which has the effect of clearing the scroll back buffer) and then send `Ctrl-M' 
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. 

If the `Add ' 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). 

`keyname' 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 /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h 

In case you want to unbind a default keyboard macro, just bind the appropriate 
key to the function `Dummy ' For example 

Mrxvt.macro.Ctrl+Shift+t:       Dummy


will disable the default keyboard shortcut `Ctrl+Shift+t' If you want to disable 
all keyboard macros, use the option `-dm ' (which can also be accessed via a pop-up 
menu). The default keyboard macros are defined in the system configuration file 
/etc/mrxvt/mrxvtrc so if you only want to disable all default shortcuts keys, 
don't read the system configuration file by using the -nsc option. 

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 

Finally `action' is the action you want bound to the specified macro key. The 
available actions you can bind to macros are: 

Dummy 

Clear an existing keyboard shortcut 

Esc str 

Send the escape sequence str to . 

Str str 

Send the string str to the child process. 

Exec command 

Executes command 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 NewTab macro). 

The argument command is word split exactly as described in the -blc option (thus 
for instance beginning it with `!' will pass it to /bin/sh -c for word splitting 
and execution). However keep in mind that like all macro arguments, command is 
first `\ ' interpolated. Thus if on the rare occasion you want `\ ' to be part 
of command then you will have to do something like `\\\\\\ ' and not `\\\ ' as 
you would with the argument of -blc 

NewTab [-N [title [[! command ] ] ] ] 

Open a new tab. N specifies the profile number. If omitted, profile 0 is used. 
If only `-' (with no number) is specified, then the profile of the current 
active tab is used (i.e. this can be used to duplicate the current tab). title 
is specified (needs to be double quoted), use that for the tab title. If command 
is specified, execute that command in the new tab (instead of the one specified 
by the resource file, or the shell). 

command is word split as described in the Exec macro. However if command begins 
with an So ! Sc then run a shell first, and execute the command in the shell as 
if the user had typed command at the shell prompt. If instead you want command 
to be passed to /bin/sh -c for word splitting and execution, then begin command 
with `\!' 

Close [N ] 

Close a tab. If no argument is specified, close all tabs and exit. If N is 0, 
close the active tab. Otherwise close the N th tab 

GotoTab [N ] 

Goto tab. If N is ommited or 0, then goto the previous active tab. Otherwise 
goto the N th tab. If N begins with a `+' or `-' then N is relative to the 
current tab. 

MoveTab N 

Move active tab to position N If N begins with a `+' or `-' then N is relative 
to the current tab. 

Scroll amount 

Scroll the active tab by amount lines (negative values mean scroll backward). If 
amount ends with `p' then scroll amount pages instead of lines. 

Copy 

Copy selection into clipboard (not implemented). 

Paste 

Pasete selection into active tab. 

ToggleSubwin [[+ | - [b | m | s | t ] ] ] 

Toggle visibility of sub-windows. If the argument begins with a `+' the 
subwindow is shown. If it begins with a `-' the subwindow is hidden. Otherwise 
it is toggled. The letters `b ' `m ' `s ' and `t ' represent the tabbar buttons, 
menubar, scrollbar and tabbar respectively. NOTE: Currently you can only toggle 
one subwindow at a time. 

ResizeFont [+ | - N ] 

Resize the font. With Xft, N represents the size increment of the xft font. 
Without Xft, N represents the index of the X11 fonts specified by the font N 
resources. 

ToggleVeryBold 

Toggle use of bold font for colored text. 

ToggleTransparency 

Toggle pseudo transparency. 

ToggleBroadcast 

Toggle broadcasting of input to all tabs. 

ToggleHold [mask ] 

If mask is not specified, then just close all tabs who's child processes have 
exited. (This is almost compatible with the behaviour of 0.5.1 and earlier). If 
mask is specified, then change the hold status of the current tab. mask must 
begin with `+ ' `- ' or `! ' and be followed by a bit mask (as in the holdExit 
option). `+ ' will add bits to the holdExit option for this tab, `- ' will 
subtract, and `! ' will toggle. Remember that if the lowest bit of the current 
tabs holdExit option is set, then the tab will always be held open and 
everything else will be ignored. 

ToggleFullscreen 

Toggle between full screen and regular mode. Also enable --smoothResize to get 
true full screen. This will only work if you are running an EWMH compatible 
window manager (e.g. Fvwm / OpenBox / KDE / Gnome). 

Raise 

Raise the window. 

SetTitle 

Set title of active tab to selection. (The selection must be owned by ) 

UseFifo status 

Enable or disable using a fifo(1) to listen for macros on (see the useFifo 
option). The argument status should be 0 , 1 , -1 to disable, enable or toggle 
respectively. 

PrintScreen [-psn [command ] ] 

Dump screen to printer (or command ) If -p is specified, then the output is 
pretty printed (i.e. escape sequences are used to get the same color in the 
output as on your screen). If -s is specified, then the entire scroll back is 
printed (instead of just the current screen). If -n 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 printPipe or the 
compiled in default is used). 

SaveConfig [filename ] 

Save config to file. If no filename is specified, save to ~/.mrxvtrc.save 

ToggleMacros 

Toggle the use of keyboard shortcuts. When macros are disabled (either by using 
this macro, or by the -dm option), then this is the only keyboard shortcut that 
will work. Thus you can re-enable your keyboard shortcuts via the keyboard using 
this function. 

Additionally, the argument to any of the above macros are `\ ' and `% ' 
interpolated as follows: 

\a 

Bell 

\b 

Backspace 

\E , \e 

Escape 

\n 

Newline 

\r 

Carriage return 

\t 

Tab 

\ ddd 

Char with octal ASCII code ddd 

^@ , ^A .. ^Z .. ^_ , ^? 

Control-@, Control-A ... 

%G 

Global (static) tab number. 

%p 

PID of child process in current tab. 

%P 

PID of 

%n 

Tab number. 

% N 

Expands to `normally' if the process exited normally (e.g. by calling exit(1)) 
or `abnormally' otherwise. (Note this is independent of the exit status). 

%s 

Text selected in the window. 

%S 

If the process in this tab is dead, then it expands to the exit status of the 
child process. Otherwise left unchanged. 

%t 

Tab title. 

%T 

Total number of tabs created in lifetime. 

Mouse shortcuts 

Changing tab titles 

This mouse shortcut can be used to dynamically change the tab title as follows: 
Select text in the terminal window. Then middle click on a tab to change the tab's 
title. If you middle click on the tabbar background, then the title of the 
active tab is changed. 

Tab list menu 

By default, if you right click on the tab bar, or control-left-click on the 
terminal window, a popup menu with a list of currently open tabs pops up. The 
actual menu popped up can be customized as described under the section Sx MENUS 
. 

Popup menus 

If you Control-click on the terminal window (with any mouse button), it pops up 
a menu. The actual menu popped up can be customized as described under the 
section Sx MENUS . 

Moving tabs 

Click and drag a tab to some other location on the tab-bar to move it. 

ESCAPE SEQUENCES 
You have several escape sequences to control . All default rxvt(1) escape 
sequences are supported by . A few extra escape sequences have been added to 
improve DEC compatibility, and allow interaction with extra features (e.g. tabs). 
The supported escape sequences are listed in the file mrxvt_seq.txt included in 
the distribution. 

For omissions in the documentation, and a more complete reference to escape 
sequences you should look at the file ctlseqs.txt that comes with the xterm 
package, console_codes4 and the original rxvt documentation in the file rxvtRef.txt 

For basic interaction with (e.g. changing the tab title etc.) you should also 
look at the programs share/scripts/settitle.c and share/scripts/mrxvtset.pl that 
are supplied with the distribution. 

ENVIRONMENT 

COLORFGBG 

Set to the terminal foreground and background colors. 

COLORTERM 

Sets to the terminal sub-name that indicates its color. 

DISPLAY 

Used (and set) to the X display bieng used. 

PATH_ENV 

Path to look for menu / background files (see -path option). 

TERM 

Set to the terminal name in the window you have created. 

MRXVT_TABTITLE 

Set to the initial tab title of each terminal. Notice that its value will not be 
altered if the user uses a shortcut or escape sequence to change the tab title. 
The user must modify it manually after doing that. 

WINDOWID 

Set to the X window id number of the mrxvt window.
