555Tells rxvt to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,

558<dd>
559<p>Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
560shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it
561quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
562create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.</p>
563</dd>
564<dd>
565<p>The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits.</p>
566</dd>
567<dd>
568<p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
569descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
570can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
571terminal. This works regardless of wether the <code>-embed</code> option was used or
572not.</p>

590Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty

593without having to run a program within it.

595<dd>
596<p>If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp

1315<p>Please note that you need to double the <code>\</code> when using

1321<p>You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a <em>string</em>

1323should be a character not used by the strings.</p>
1324</dd>
1325<dd>
1326<p>Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:</p>
1327</dd>
1328<dd>
1329<pre>
1330 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033&lt;M-C-|abc|&gt;</pre>
1331</dd>
1332<dd>
1333<p>The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:</p>
1334</dd>
1335<dd>
1336<pre>
1337 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033&lt;M-C-a&gt;

1340</dd>
1341<dd>
1342<p>If <em>string</em> takes the form of <code>command:STRING</code>, the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
1343is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For
1344example the following means ``change the current locale to <code>zh_CN.GBK</code>
1345when Control-Meta-c is being pressed'':</p>
1346</dd>
1347<dd>

1351<dd>
1352<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1353will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1354no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1355means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide
1356definitions for <code>Meta-a</code>, <code>Shift-a</code> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1357mappings themselves.</p>
1358</dd>
1359<dd>
1360<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1361if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
1362<code>Shift-Insert</code> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke ``holes'' into the
1363user-defined keymap using the <code>builtin:</code> replacement:</p>
1364</dd>
1365<dd>
1366<pre>
1367 URxvt.keysym.Insert: &lt;my insert key sequence&gt;
1368 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:</pre>
1369</dd>
1370<dd>
1371<p>The first line defines a mapping for <code>Insert</code> and <em>any</em> combination
1372of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1373<code>Shift-Insert</code>.</p>
1374</dd>
1375<dd>
1376<p>The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1377the fonts <code>suxuseuro</code> and <code>9x15bold</code>, so you can have some limited
1378font-switching at runtime:</p>
1379</dd>
