+Rxvt
+====
+
+`rxvt-unicode` is an advanced and efficient vt102 emulator. Here is a quick guide to configuration in both dom0 and guest VM.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+`yum install rxvt-unicode-256color-ml` will bring both base `rxvt-unicode` and extension. Let me also recommend excellent Terminus font: `yum install terminus-fonts`.
+
+Xresources
+----------
+
+In TemplateVM create file `/etc/X11/Xresources.urxvt` and paste config below. `!`-lines are comments and may be left out. `#`-lines are directives to CPP (C preprocessor) and are neccessary. This shouldn't go to `/etc/X11/Xresources`, because that file is not preprocessed by default.

+! selection-to-clipboard violates
+! http://standards.freedesktop.org/clipboards-spec/clipboards-latest.txt [1],
+! but it does for greater good: urxvt has no other means to move PRIMARY to
+! CLIPBOARD, so Qubes' clipboard won't work without it. Also the rationale given
+! in [1] has little relevance to advanced terminal emulator, specifically there
+! is no need for w32-style intuition and virtually no need to "paste over".

+```
+
+Then create script to automatically merge those to xrdb. File `/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/urxvt.sh`:
+
+``` {.wiki}
+#!/bin/sh
+
+[ -r /etc/X11/Xresources.urxvt ] && xrdb -merge /etc/X11/Xresources.urxvt
+```
+
+Shortcuts
+---------
+
+For each AppVM, go to *Qubes Manager \> VM Settings \> Applications*. Find `rxvt-unicode` (or `rxvt-unicode (256-color) multi-language`) and add.
