1102The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1069Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1103any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1070C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1106B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1073extension might provide.
1074
1075The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1076
1077 (modifiers-)key
1078
1079Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1080B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1081B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
1082B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1107 1083
1108The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1084The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1109whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1085whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1110keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1086keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1111current application keymap mode state. 1087current application keymap mode state.
1112 1088
1113The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1089Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1114searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1090match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1091key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1092defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1093C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1094themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1095this when this is a problem.
1096
1097The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1098find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1099looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1115omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1100the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1116keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1101value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1117performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1118 1102
1119I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1103As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1104escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1120number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. 1105number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1121 1106
1122You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1107An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1123with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1108of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1109interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1110prefixed with C<string:>).
1111
1112The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1113additional prefixes:
1114
1115=over 4
1116
1117=item string:STRING
1118
1119If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1120then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1121terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1122string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1123
1124 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1125
1126This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1127
1128In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1129keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1130providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1124should be a character not used by the strings. 1131the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1125 1132
1126Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1133Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1127 1134
1128 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1135 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1129 1136
1130The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1137The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1131 1138

1147the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1148in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1149most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1150
1138example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1151For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>

1144is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1157the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1145manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1158font-switching at runtime:
1146C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1147 1159
1148 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1160 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1161 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1149 1162
1150Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1163Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1151will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1164info):
1152no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1153means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1154definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1155mappings themselves.
1156 1165
1157Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1166 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1167 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1168
1169=item builtin:
1170
1171The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1172key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1173the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1174bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1175
1158if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1176For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1159C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1177@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1160user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1178"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1161 1179

1165The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1183The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1166of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1184of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1167C<Shift-Insert>. 1185C<Shift-Insert>.
1168 1186
1169The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1187=item builtin-string:
1170the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1171font-switching at runtime:
1172 1188
1173 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1189This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1174 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1190have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1191difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1192application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1193action for it.
1175 1194
1176Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1195An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1177info): 1196selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1197would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1198terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1178 1199
1179 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1200 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1180 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1201 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1202
1203The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1204combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1205C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1206
1207Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1208clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1209this:
1210
1211 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1212 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
