Hi Zsbán,

Those look like good patches to me, and thanks for the quick reply.

I'm not sure how to use the patch that modifies mouse reporting. I
thought it would make most sense to control that behavior through an
.Xdefaults resource, or even ./configure. But you decided to do it via
an escape sequence - do you bind some key to that escape sequence, or
do you have a way of generating it automatically when a new urxvt is
opened?

It looks like you're using Git to maintain your patches. I need to
learn how to use Git, or at least learn more than the basics. I have
some important 'screen' patches that I could never get the maintainer
to look at, and I was thinking of just creating my own version on
Github, with my own Arch package to go with it. Maybe I or someone
else could do that with rxvt-unicode as well. I want to be able to
turn off blinking without creating a special terminfo file, since the
terminfo workaround kind of breaks when I log into a remote server.
Also I have a 'matcher' variation which I find far superior to the one
that ships with urxvt. I'm not sure if these incremental improvements
meet the threshold where others would be interested in using them, or
if Git would sufficiently simplify the maintenance of a separate
branch to the point where I have time to do it. But it seems like
something that should be easy enough with the right tools and
knowledge...

Thank you,

Frederick
