583<dd>
584<p>Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
585shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it
586quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
587create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.</p>

590<p>The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits.</p>
591</dd>
592<dd>
593<p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
594descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
595can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
596terminal. This works regardless of wether the <code>-embed</code> option was used or

615Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
616pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
617useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
618without having to run a program within it.
619</dd>
620<dd>
621<p>If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp
622entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
623yourself if you want that.</p>

1324<p>The format of <em>sym</em> is ``<em>(modifiers-)key</em>'', where <em>modifiers</em> can be
1325any combination of <strong>ISOLevel3</strong>, <strong>AppKeypad</strong>, <strong>Control</strong>, <strong>NumLock</strong>,

1331<p>The <strong>NumLock</strong>, <strong>Meta</strong> and <strong>ISOLevel3</strong> modifiers are usually aliased to
1332whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1333keys are being mapped. <strong>AppKeypad</strong> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1334current application keymap mode state.</p>
1335</dd>
1336<dd>
1337<p>The spellings of <em>key</em> can be obtained by using <strong>xev</strong>(1) command or
1338searching keysym macros from <strong>/usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h</strong> and
1339omitting the prefix <strong>XK_</strong>. Alternatively you can specify <em>key</em> by its hex
1340keysym value (<strong>0x0000 - 0xFFFF</strong>). Note that the lookup of <em>sym</em>s is not
1341performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.</p>

1344<p><em>string</em> may contain escape values (<code>\a</code>: bell, <code>\b</code>: backspace,
1345<code>\e</code>, <code>\E</code>: escape, <code>\n</code>: newline, <code>\r</code>: carriage return, <code>\t</code>: tab,
1346<code>\000</code>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (<code>^?</code>: delete,
1347<code>^@</code>: null, <code>^A</code> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it
1348can start or end with whitespace.</p>
1349</dd>
1350<dd>
1351<p>Please note that you need to double the <code>\</code> in resource files, as
1352Xlib itself does it's own de-escaping (you can use <code>\033</code> instead of
1353<code>\e</code> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and rxvt's own
1354processing).</p>
1355</dd>
1356<dd>
1357<p>You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a <em>string</em>
1358with pattern <strong>list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX</strong>, where the delimeter `/'
1359should be a character not used by the strings.</p>
1360</dd>
1361<dd>
1362<p>Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:</p>
1363</dd>
1364<dd>
1365<pre>
1366 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033&lt;M-C-|abc|&gt;</pre>
1367</dd>
1368<dd>
1369<p>The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:</p>
1370</dd>
1371<dd>
1372<pre>
1373 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033&lt;M-C-a&gt;
1374 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033&lt;M-C-b&gt;
1375 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033&lt;M-C-c&gt;</pre>
1376</dd>
1377<dd>
1378<p>If <em>string</em> takes the form of <code>command:STRING</code>, the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
1379is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For
1380example the following means ``change the current locale to <code>zh_CN.GBK</code>
1381when Control-Meta-c is being pressed'':</p>
1382</dd>
1383<dd>
1384<pre>
1385 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007</pre>
1386</dd>
1387<dd>
1388<p>If <em>string</em> takes the form <code>perl:STRING</code>, then the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
1389is passed to the <code>on_keyboard_command</code> perl handler. See the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code>
1390manpage. For example, the <em>selection</em> extension (activated via
1391<code>rxvt -pe selection</code>) listens for <code>selection:rot13</code> events:</p>
1392</dd>
1393<dd>
1394<pre>
1395 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13</pre>
1396</dd>
1397<dd>
1398<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1399will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1400no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1401means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide
1402definitions for <code>Meta-a</code>, <code>Shift-a</code> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1403mappings themselves.</p>
1404</dd>
1405<dd>
1406<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1407if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
1408<code>Shift-Insert</code> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke ``holes'' into the
1409user-defined keymap using the <code>builtin:</code> replacement:</p>
1410</dd>
1411<dd>
1412<pre>
1413 URxvt.keysym.Insert: &lt;my insert key sequence&gt;
1414 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:</pre>
1415</dd>
1416<dd>
1417<p>The first line defines a mapping for <code>Insert</code> and <em>any</em> combination
1418of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1419<code>Shift-Insert</code>.</p>
1420</dd>
1421<dd>
1422<p>The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1423the fonts <code>suxuseuro</code> and <code>9x15bold</code>, so you can have some limited
1424font-switching at runtime:</p>
1425</dd>
1426<dd>
1427<pre>
1428 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
