1160B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1060extension might provide.
1061
1062The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1063
1064 (modifiers-)key
1065
1066Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1067B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1068B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,

1162The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1071The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to

1165current application keymap mode state. 1074current application keymap mode state.
1166 1075
1167The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1076Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1168searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1077match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1078key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1079defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1080C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1081themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1082this when this is a problem.
1083
1084The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1085find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1086looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1169omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1087the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1170keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1088value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1171performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1172 1089
1173I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1090As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1091escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1174number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. 1092number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1175 1093
1176You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1094An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1177with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1095of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1178should be a character not used by the strings. 1096interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1097prefixed with C<string:>).
1179 1098
1180Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1099The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1100additional prefixes:
1181 1101
1182 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1102=over 4
1183 1103
1184The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1104=item string:STRING
1185 1105
1186 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> 1106If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1187 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b> 1107then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1188 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c> 1108terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1109string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1189 1110
1111 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1112
1113This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.

1119the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1120in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1121most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1198is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1129the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1199manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1130font-switching at runtime:
1200C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1201 1131
1202 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1132 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1133 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1203 1134
1204Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1135Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1205will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1136info):
1206no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1207means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1208definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1209mappings themselves.
1210 1137
1211Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1138 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1139 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1140
1141=item builtin:
1142
1143The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1144key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1145the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1146bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1147
1212if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1148For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1213C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1149@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1214user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1150"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1215 1151
1216 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1152 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>

1219The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1155The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1220of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1156of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1221C<Shift-Insert>. 1157C<Shift-Insert>.
1222 1158
1223The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1159=item builtin-string:
1224the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1225font-switching at runtime:
1226 1160
1227 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1161This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1228 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1162have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1163difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1164application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1165action for it.
1229 1166
1230Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1167An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1231info): 1168selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1169would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1170terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1232 1171
1233 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1172 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1234 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1173 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1174
1175The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1176combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1177C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1178
1179Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1180clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1181this:
1182
1183 URxvt.keysym.C-S-c: builtin-string:
1184 URxvt.keysym.C-S-v: builtin-string:
1185
1186=item EXTENSION:STRING

1189extension of the same name. The extension will be loaded automatically if
1190necessary.
1191
1192Not all extensions define key actions, but popular extensions that do
1193include the I<selection> and I<matcher> extensions (documented in their
1194own manpages, @@RXVT_NAME@@-selection(1) and @@RXVT_NAME@@-matcher(1),
1195respectively).
