+The format of sym is ``(modifiers-)key'', where modifiers can be +any combination of ISOLevel3, AppKeypad, Control, NumLock, +Shift, Meta, Lock, Mod1, Mod2, Mod3, Mod4, Mod5, +and the abbreviated I, K, C, N, S, M, A, L, 1, +2, 3, 4, 5.
+The NumLock, Meta and ISOLevel3 modifiers are usually aliased to +whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr +keys are being mapped. AppKeypad is a synthetic modifier mapped to the +current application keymap mode state.
+The spellings of key can be obtained by using xev(1) command or +searching keysym macros from /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h and +omitting the prefix XK_. Alternatively you can specify key by its hex +keysym value (0x0000 - 0xFFFF). Note that the lookup of syms is not +performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
+string may contain escape values (\a: bell, \b: backspace,
+\e, \E: escape, \n: newline, \r: carriage return, \t: tab,
+\000: octal number) or verbatim control characters (^?: delete,
+^@: null, ^A ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it
+can start or end with whitespace.
You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a string +with pattern list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX, where the delimeter `/' +should be a character not used by the strings.
+Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
++ URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\e<M-C-|abc|>+
The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
++ URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \e<M-C-a> + URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \e<M-C-b> + URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \e<M-C-c>+
If string takes the form of proto:STRING, the specified STRING
+is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For
+example the following means ``change the current locale to zh_CN.GBK
+when Control-Meta-c is being pressed'':
+ URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: proto:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007+
The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
+the fonts suxuseuro and 9x15bold, so you cna have some limited
+font-switching at runtime:
+ URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: proto:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 + URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: proto:\033]50;9x15bold\007+
proto:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 means: change the current locale to
+zh_CN.GBK.
