486 <p>Tells rxvt to embed its windows into an already-existing window,
487which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.</p>
488 <p>Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
489shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it
490quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
491create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.</p>
492 <p>The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits.</p>
493 <p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
494descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
495can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
496terminal. This works regardless of whether the <code>-embed</code> option was used or
497not.</p>
498 <p>Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
499used (a longer example is in <cite>doc/embed</cite>):</p>
500<pre> my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
501 $rxvt-&gt;signal_connect_after (realize =&gt; sub {
502 my $xid = $_[0]-&gt;window-&gt;get_xid;

510 <p>Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
511pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
512useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
513without having to run a program within it.</p>
514 <p>If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp
515entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
516yourself if you want that.</p>
517 <p>As an extremely special case, specifying <code>-1</code> will completely suppress
518pty/tty operations.</p>

1142<p>The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1103 <p>The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:</p>
1143 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \e&lt;M-C-a&gt; 1104<pre> URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033&lt;M-C-a&gt;

1108</pre>
1109 <p>If <i>string</i> takes the form of <code>command:STRING</code>, the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
1110is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For
1111example the following means &quot;change the current locale to <code>zh_CN.GBK</code>
1112when Control-Meta-c is being pressed&quot;:</p>
1113<pre> URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1114
1115</pre>
1116 <p>If <i>string</i> takes the form <code>perl:STRING</code>, then the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
1117is passed to the <code>on_keyboard_command</code> perl handler. See the rxvtperl(3)
1118manpage. For example, the <cite>selection</cite> extension (activated via
1119<code>rxvt -pe selection</code>) listens for <code>selection:rot13</code> events:</p>
1120<pre> URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1121
1122</pre>
1123 <p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1124will match if at <i>at least</i> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1125no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1126means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide
1127definitions for <code>Meta-a</code>, <code>Shift-a</code> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1128mappings themselves.</p>
1129 <p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1130if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
1131<code>Shift-Insert</code> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke &quot;holes&quot; into the
1132user-defined keymap using the <code>builtin:</code> replacement:</p>
1133<pre> URxvt.keysym.Insert: &lt;my insert key sequence&gt;
1134 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1135
1136</pre>
1137 <p>The first line defines a mapping for <code>Insert</code> and <i>any</i> combination
1138of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1139<code>Shift-Insert</code>.</p>
1140 <p>The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1141the fonts <code>suxuseuro</code> and <code>9x15bold</code>, so you can have some limited
1142font-switching at runtime:</p>
1143<pre> URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1144 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007

1395<p>If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1396their act together, rxvt-unicode will support <code>rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa</code>
1397(recommended, but <strong>MUST</strong> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1398in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1399specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of <code>0</code> is completely
1400transparent). You can also prefix any color with <code>[percent]</code>, where
1401<code>percent</code> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of
1402the color, where <code>0</code> is completely transparent and <code>100</code> is completelxy
1403opaque.</p>
1404<p>You probably need to specify <strong>&quot;-depth 32&quot;</strong>, too, and have the luck that
1405your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1406ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.</p>
1407<p>For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1408background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:</p>
1409<pre> rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/aaaa -fg &quot;[80]pink&quot;
