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>

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>

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

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>[a]</code>, where <code>a</code> is on
1781to four hex digits specifiying the opacity value.</p>
1782<p>You probably need to specify <strong>``-depth 32''</strong>, too, and have the luck that
1783your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1784ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.</p>
1785<p>For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1786background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:</p>
1787<pre>
1788 rxvt -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/2222 -fg &quot;[e]pink&quot;</pre>
1789<p><em>Please note that transparency of any kind if completely unsupported by
1790the author. Don't bug him with installation questions!</em></p>
