I personally use it. Can you make this an option? It is possible, but it won't happen immediately. (Faster with patches...) What switch would you suggest? -bs and -sb are both already used... Maybe a long-only option? --unix-alt-space (or, perhaps, --win32-alt-space)? > Also (I know I asked this already 1 or 2 years ago...) do you see > any chance now to combine the stand-alone feature (libW11...) with > rxvt-unicode? (Maybe it's a new challenge for someone now that cygwin > introduced native Unicode support) It would need more work -- a lot more work -- on libW11. I made an abortive attempt a few years back: ITP: libW11 http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-03/msg00120.html as part of my diabolical plan, described here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-03/msg00122.html IMO, the addition of unicode features to cygwin doesn't assist (much) in making rxvt-unicode run in non-X mode, because rxvt-unicode uses a LOT more of xlib that plain rxvt does, above and beyond the unicode stuff (which is normally provided by libc, or in this case, cygwin1.dll). So, that's not going to happen any time soon. I do have a number of ideas to improve checkX (e.g. adding a launcher functionality similar to run.exe that switch-hits depending on whether X is detected) and I plan to release a new checkX with those features soon. That is (one of) the necessary pre-conditions for my "diabolical plan", so...we're getting there. Veeery sloooowly. It's obviously not my highest priority. <g>) -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
