Hi!
I've read various threads about the standout-vs-italics debate
already. I'm using urxvt, which will set TERM=rxvt-unicode. The
terminal (and my font) supports both italics and stand out mode. I
verify this by entering:
echo `tput sitm`italics`tput ritm` `tput smso`standout`tput rmso`
I've come to understand from reading the code, that the "italics"
sequence will only be applied if tty_term_has(tty->term, TTYC_SITM) is
true. By setting the terminal-overrides setting to something like
"*:sitm@" you can explicitly set the TTYC_SITM to TTYCODE_NONE, which
in turn will print out the standout mode sequence TTYC_SMSO instead.
There are two problems I'm facing:
1) Disabling italics won't work. Simply unsetting sitm with
set -g terminal-overrides "*:sitm@" will still give me italic
fonts.
2) Worse yet, somehow tmux screws up the lookup of sequences.
Again, for testing purposes, I use the line from above to find
out which sequences are supposed to activate the it/so mode.
In standard rxvt-unicode that works well. As soon as I run the
command from inside tmux, hoever,
a) standout mode is now italics mode
b) italics mode produces "normal" font (ie. it's not recognized)
Now this clearly is annoying: applications explicitly asking
for standout get the italics sequence. Gnah.
As for problem #2, I think the cause lies here:
$ infocmp screen | grep smso
smir=\E[4h, smkx=\E[?1h\E=, smso=\E[3m, smul=\E[4m,
$ infocmp rxvt-unicode | grep sitm
sgr0=\E[m\017, sitm=\E[3m, smacs=\E(0, smam=\E[?7h,
So, as I understand it, an application that's started from inside tmux
will inherit TERM=screen. Thus, a lookup of "smso" will return the
code that in my terminal's understanding is "sitm". -- Right?
Now, I can't quite figure out where the terminal-overrides takes
effect. Unsetting sitm has no effect. Setting smso=\e[7m (as it is
defined by rxvt-unicode) has no effect.
This problem is *just* with rxvt-unicode; xterm, (regular) rxvt and
others work fine.
I'm searching for a solution to completely disable italics output and
using just standout mode instead. Recompiling termcap/terminfo files
is something I'd like to avoid.
Any hints appreaciated, thanks!
