goto_tab not working when urxvt launched without border in i3wm

[rudevdr]

I am using your awesome urxvt extention in urxvt in Arch Linux.

I am using this config in my ~/.Xdefaults

URxvt.keysym.Control-t: perl:tabbedex:new_tab
URxvt.keysym.Control-k: perl:tabbedex:next_tab
URxvt.keysym.Control-j: perl:tabbedex:prev_tab

urxvt.keysym.Control-1: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_1
urxvt.keysym.Control-2: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_2
urxvt.keysym.Control-3: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_3
urxvt.keysym.Control-4: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_4
urxvt.keysym.Control-5: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_5
urxvt.keysym.Control-6: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_6
urxvt.keysym.Control-7: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_7
urxvt.keysym.Control-8: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_8
urxvt.keysym.Control-9: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_9
urxvt.keysym.Control-0: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_10

Everything works expected when urxvt is launched normally, but when urxvt is launched without borders in i3wm like border 1pixel, goto_tab doesn't seem to work.

Also, I don't know why but while keybinding urxvt works but not URxvt, so therefore in keysym they are in small letters.

Here is a video demonstration. The first terminal is without border and second one has border, where goto_tab_N works.

What is the actual invocation that starts both those terminals? Are you by chance passing -name argument?

[rudevdr]

Actually yes..this is the code in the i3 config. As you can see, I am passing the -name args for urxvt

bindsym $mod+Return exec --no-startup-id urxvt -name floating_no_border #urxvt floating
bindsym $mod+Shift+Return exec --no-startup-id urxvt

for_window [class="URxvt" instance="floating"] floating enable
for_window [class="URxvt" instance="no_border"] border 1pixel 
for_window [class="URxvt" instance="floating_no_border"] floating enable border 1pixel 

[mina86]

Could you also provide output of xrdb -query?

If you duplicate the keysyms with floating_no_border as the resource class than things should start working. I don’t understand why URxvt wouldn’t work though. Have you compiled urxvt by hand perhaps?

[rudevdr]

How to use floating_no_border as the resource class? Like urxvt.keysym.Control-1: floating_no_border:perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_1 this?

[mina86]

Use it instead of urxvt at the beginning, for example floating_no_border.keysym.Control-1: perl:tabbedex:goto_tab_1.

[rudevdr]

Thanks a lot! Everything works as expected now.

Also I have not installed urxvt from source but from arch community repo's package rxvt-unicode.

[mina86]

Using URxvt as the prefix should work (I don’t think that maintainer of the package changed resource class). You also seem to be using URxvt for other options. With that prefix you won’t have to repeat the kysyms for every -name.

[rudevdr]

Oh yeah! Its works. I could have sworn earlier it didn't work.

The issues were really silly. I should learn more about xresources. Thanks for your help.
