603<p>Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
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

610</dd>
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
614can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the

1430<p>If <em>string</em> takes the form <code>perl:STRING</code>, then the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
1431is passed to the <code>on_keyboard_command</code> perl handler. See the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code>
1432manpage. For example, the <em>selection</em> extension (activated via
1433<code>rxvt -pe selection</code>) listens for <code>selection:rot13</code> events:</p>

1440<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1441will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1442no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1443means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide
1444definitions for <code>Meta-a</code>, <code>Shift-a</code> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1445mappings themselves.</p>
1446</dd>
1447<dd>
1448<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1449if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
1450<code>Shift-Insert</code> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke ``holes'' into the
1451user-defined keymap using the <code>builtin:</code> replacement:</p>

1774<h2><a name="alpha_channel_support">ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT</a></h2>
1775<p>If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1776their act together, rxvt-unicode will support <code>rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa</code>
1777(recommended, but <strong>MUST</strong> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1778in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1779specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of <code>0</code> is completely
1780transparent). You can also prefix any color with <code>[percent]</code>, where
1781<code>percent</code> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of
1782the color, where <code>0</code> is completely transparent and <code>100</code> is completelxy
1783opaque.</p>
1784<p>You probably need to specify <strong>``-depth 32''</strong>, too, and have the luck that
1785your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1786ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.</p>
1787<p>For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1788background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:</p>
1789<pre>
1790 rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/aaaa -fg &quot;[80]pink&quot;</pre>
1791<p><em>Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported by
1792the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!</em></p>
