About me I've been a computer programmer since I first started typing in program listings on a Commodore Vic 20 when I was about 8. My hobbies include electronics, CNC manufacturing, photography, beer and winemaking.
I live with my wife and lots of left-over parts from unfinished projects in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.]

I recently was hanging out on #rxvt-unicode where a fellow user mentioned
that entering unicodes via the shift+ctrl+<hex digits> method was inconvenient.
He mentioned that some other program (which?) uses shift+ctrl+u followed by
hex digits. So I wrote a perl plugin for rxvt-unicode that does just that.8 February 2011, 14:01 UTCurxvt: on-the-fly font changing
Deep in the mists of time, rxvt had "use smaller font" and "use
bigger font" keystrokes. Now, instead of that facility, it has escape
codes to set the font. It's possible to bind these to keys, as
documented in urxvt(1) under CHANGING FONTS. But it's also possible to
do it from a program.
