1091this when this is a problem.
1092
1093The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1094find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1095looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1059omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1096the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1060keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1097value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1061performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1062 1098
1063I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace, 1099As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1064C<\e>, C<\E>: escape, C<\n>: newline, C<\r>: carriage return, C<\t>: tab, 1100escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1065C<\000>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (C<^?>: delete, 1101number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1066C<^@>: null, C<^A> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it
1067can start or end with whitespace. B<This feature is deprecated and will
1068be removed>.
1069 1102
1070Please note that you need to double the C<\> in resource files, as 1103An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1071Xlib itself does its own de-escaping (you can use C<\033> instead of 1104of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1072C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own 1105interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1073processing). 1106prefixed with C<string:>).
1074 1107
1075You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1108The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1076with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1109additional prefixes:
1077should be a character not used by the strings.
1078 1110
1079Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1111=over 4
1080 1112
1081 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1113=item string:STRING
1082 1114
1083The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1115If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1116then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1117terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1118string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1084 1119
1085 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> 1120 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1086 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
1087 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
1088 1121
1122This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1123
1124=item command:STRING
1125
1089If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1126If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1090is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1127is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1128the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1129in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1130most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1131
1091example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1132For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1092when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": 1133when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1093 1134
1094 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 1135 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007

1097is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1138the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1098manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1139font-switching at runtime:
1099C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1100 1140
1101 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1141 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1142 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1102 1143
1103Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1144Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1104will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1145info):
1105no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1106means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1107definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1108mappings themselves.
1109 1146
1110Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1147 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1148 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1149
1150=item builtin:
1151
1152The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1153key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1154the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1155bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1156
1111if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1157For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1112C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1158@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1113user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1159"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1114 1160
1115 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1161 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1116 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1162 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1117 1163
1118The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1164The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1119of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1165of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1120C<Shift-Insert>. 1166C<Shift-Insert>.
1121 1167
1122The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1168=item builtin-string:
1123the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1124font-switching at runtime:
1125 1169
1126 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1170This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1127 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1171have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1172difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1173application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1174action for it.
1128 1175
1129Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1176An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1130info): 1177selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1178would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1179terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1131 1180
1132 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1181 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1133 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1182 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1183
1184The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1185combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1186C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1187
1188Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1189clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1190this:
1191
1192 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1193 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
