How can I cycle through my fonts in rxvt (non-X11 version) if I don't
have a numeric keypad? The manpage mentions bigfont_key and
smallfont_key "if enabled", but I haven't been successful getting them
to do anything. Perhaps I need to recompile rxvt and enable that
option?
The current rxvt is compiled with
--disable-shared \
--enable-xpm-background \
--with-xpm-includes=${B}/W11/X11 \
--with-xpm-library=${B}/W11/lib \
--x-libraries=${B}/W11/lib \
--x-includes=${B}/W11 \
--enable-utmp \
--enable-wtmp \
--enable-lastlog \
--enable-menubar \
--enable-rxvt-scroll \
--enable-next-scroll \
--enable-xterm-scroll \
--enable-frills \
--enable-linespace \
--enable-mousewheel \
--enable-keepscrolling \
--enable-old-selection \
--enable-selectionscrolling \
--enable-transparency \
--enable-256-color \
--enable-24bit \
--enable-languages \
--with-encoding=noenc
Now, bigfont_key and smallfont_key are available only #if
defined(HOTKEY_CTRL) || defined(HOTKEY_META) -- and in rxvt, not
everything is controlled via configure options. Some things you have to
manipulate by editing feature.h before compiling. This is one of those:
/*
* Choose one of these values to be the `hotkey' for changing font.
* This has been superceded and is only for you older users
*/
/* #define HOTKEY_CTRL */
/* #define HOTKEY_META */
If you uncomment one of those two defines and recompile, then you should
be able to add something to your ~/.Xdefaults like:
Rxvt*bigfont_key: Right
Rxvt*smallfont_key: Left
so that ALT-leftarrow and ALT-rightarrow do what you want. (The default,
without those .Xdefaults entries, is ALT-> and ALT-< -- but it only
works if you recompile with HOTKEY_META undefined.
If you define HOTKEY_CTRL, then all hotkeys for font changing would be
CTRL-whatever instead of ALT-whatever.
