604shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it
605quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to

611<dd>
612<p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
613descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you

1429<p>If <em>string</em> takes the form <code>perl:STRING</code>, then the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
1430is passed to the <code>on_keyboard_command</code> perl handler. See the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code>
1431manpage. For example, the <em>selection</em> extension (activated via

1439<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1440will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1441no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1442means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide
1443definitions for <code>Meta-a</code>, <code>Shift-a</code> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1444mappings themselves.</p>
1445</dd>
1446<dd>
1447<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1448if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
1449<code>Shift-Insert</code> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke ``holes'' into the
1450user-defined keymap using the <code>builtin:</code> replacement:</p>

1458<p>The first line defines a mapping for <code>Insert</code> and <em>any</em> combination

1463<p>The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to

1774<p>If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1775their act together, rxvt-unicode will support <code>rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa</code>
1776(recommended, but <strong>MUST</strong> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1777in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1778specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of <code>0</code> is completely
1779transparent). You can also prefix any color with <code>[a]</code>, where <code>a</code> is on
1780to four hex digits specifiying the opacity value.</p>
1781<p>You probably need to specify <strong>``-depth 32''</strong>, too, and have the luck that
1782your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1783ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.</p>
1784<p>For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1785background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:</p>
1786<pre>
1787 rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/2222 -fg &quot;[e]pink&quot;</pre>
