My latest urxvt configuration
The latest changes include turning off the scrollbar (who needs a scrollbar anyway), turning off the tabs (screen and tmux do the job better) and also stopping urxvt from jumping forward when a program is producing output and I'm looking previously generated output (the last three lines).

Stop urxvt scrolling
Say some program is continueously spitting output and your want to scroll back in the history and check something. By default, you can't. urxvt will jump down when something is added to the output. You can do one of these things:
- Press Ctrl-s. This will pause the program. When you're done, press Ctrl-q to continue.
- Add these lines to your .Xdefaults (or wherever you put your X resources):
URxvt*scrollTtyOutput: false URxvt*scrollWithBuffer: true URxvt*scrollTtyKeypress: true

urxvt: looking better and with tabs
urxvt is a great terminal emulator, but I don't particularly care for it's default look and feel. It's not very difficult to make it look better though.
This page explains how you can make urxvt look like gnome-terminal by adding a few lines to your .Xdefaults file. This is how my .Xdefaults looks like:
For more urxvt customizations, see this page.
By the way, this is the commands I've put in my .stumpwmrc in order to have urxvt as my default terminal emulator. Notice that the class attribute is URxvt not Urxvt as one might expect.

urxvt -pe tabbed, or you can add this line to your .Xdefaults.URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,tabbedIn order to open a new tab, press C-M-Down (that is, control and alt and down arrow). To switch tabs use C-M-Left and C-M-Right. To move the current tab, use C-Left and C-Right. I wish I could change these key bindings since the arrow keys are two far away from my comfort zone, but I haven't find a way to do that, yet. Well, nothing is perfect!

If you're ever in doubt about the class attribute of a certain window, just switch to it, press(defcommand urxvt () () "Start a urxvt instance or switch to it if already running" (run-or-raise "urxvt" '(:class "URxvt"))) (define-key *root-map* (kbd "c") "urxvt") (define-key *root-map* (kbd "C-c") "urxvt")
C-t : and then type in (stumpwm::window-class (stumpwm::current-window)).
