1143If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1144is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1145manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1146C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1147
1148 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1149
1150Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1151will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
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
1157Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1158if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1159C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1160user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1161
1162 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1163 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1164
1165The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1166of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1167C<Shift-Insert>.

1188
1189Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1190them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1191by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1192example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1193C<selection>.
1194
1195Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1196(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1197searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1198multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1199the extension.
1200
1201Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1202necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
1203
1204If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1205interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that

1440In addition to the colours defined above, @@RXVT_NAME@@ offers an
1441additional 72 colours. The first 64 of those (with indices 16 to 79)
1442consist of a 4*4*4 RGB colour cube (i.e. I<index = r * 16 + g * 4 + b +

1444
1445Together, all those colours implement the 88 colour xterm colours. Only

1463=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
1464
1465If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1466their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
1467
1468You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
1469brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
1470(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where C<0> is completely
1471transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
1472half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
1473is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
1474all ways to specify a colour.
1475
1476For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
1477C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
1478specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
1479(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
1480while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
1481earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
1482C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
1483
1484You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
1485alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
1486layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
1487rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
1488
1489For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
1490background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
1491
1492 @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
1493
1494When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
1495alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
1496transparency of course).
1497
1498When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
1499colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
1500background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
1501other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
1502image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
1503fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
1504
1505Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
1506in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
1507extension.
