Hey guys been using archlabs for a long time, but recently reinstalled and made the rxvt-unicode my default terminal emulator.
The thing is vim with this terminal is unusable. Here is a pic. Is the problem with the config from rxvt or vim ? For comparison here is emacs
Rxvt-unicode and vim
I’m no expert with Vim but is it your terminal colours that are the issue?
Not sure I’m using the default configs from archlabs.
I use urxvt as my default terminal and this is what I have, I recently changed colour schemes and it isn’t quite right.
Thanks ! So definitely a rxvt config problemas gonna look at that and if need any help I will come back . The file with rxvt config is .Xresources right ?

Yes that’s right. Don’t forget to run xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources once you have saved your changes.
Do a search along the lines of “vim colors wrong rxvt-unicode”.
As I recall, there are a couple lines you need to add (or comment out) in the .vimrc for rxvt-unicode to show the correct colors. I don’t recall if the change will then mess of vim in other terminals.

Guys thanks for the help. Seems that the problem was with .vimrc commenting this does the work “set termguicolors” . Next step understand how to copy and paste with rxvt .

Good work.
Copy and paste is ctrl+insert for copy and shift+insert for paste.
