h2. About

urxvt is a great terminal emulator, but spending time on a mac made me miss the ability (in iTerm!) to dynamically resize text using ⌘+Plus and ⌘+Minus. I was also thinking that it would be be nice if resizing the terminal font could be persisted to @Xresources@. Turns out this was pretty easy to accomplish.
|
|
|
|
bc. urxvt.perl-lib: /path/to/urxvt-font
|
|
urxvt.keysym.Control-Shift-Up: perl:font:increment
|
|
urxvt.keysym.Control-Shift-Down: perl:font:decrement
|
|
urxvt.perl-ext-common: font
|
|
|
|
Now, @Ctrl+Shift+<Up>@ and @Ctrl+Shift+<Down>@ will, respectively, enlarge and decrease the text size in a running urxvt window, *and* save the new font size to @~/.Xresources@, so that it's there for the next time you open a terminal window. With the Monaco font, it's a poor man's iTerm.

I keep my fonts in a separate xresources file, which gets include by @~/.Xresources@. This way I can version @~/.Xdefaults@ without dirtying the repository every time I change the terminal font size. For this to work, the path defined by @X_RESOURCES@ in @font@ must contain something like this:
