		487
		488	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it

		490	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		491	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		492
		493	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		494
		495	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		496	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		497	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		498	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		499	not.
		500
		501	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		502	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		503
		504	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		505	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {

		511
		512	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		513	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		514	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		515	without having to run a program within it.
		516
		517	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		518	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		519	yourself if you want that.
		520
		521	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		522	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		523	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		524
		525	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		526	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):

		528	use IO::Pty;

		530

		1126	B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1127
		1128	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1129	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1130	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1131	current application keymap mode state.
		1132
		1133	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		1134	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
		1135	omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
		1136	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		1137	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1138
		1139	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
		1140	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details.
		1141
		1142	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1143	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1144	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1145
		1146	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1147
		1148	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
		1149
		1150	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1151
		1152	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		1153	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		1154	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		1155
		1156	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1157	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1158	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1159	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1160
		1161	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1162
		1163	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1164	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1165	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1166	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1167
		1168	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1169
		1170	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1171	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1172	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1173	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1174	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1175	mappings themselves.
		1176
		1177	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1178	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1179	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1180	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1181
		1182	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1183	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1184
		1185	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1186	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1187	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1188
		1189	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1190	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1191	font-switching at runtime:
		1192
		1193	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1194	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1195
		1196	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1197	info):
		1198
		1199	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1208
		1209	Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
		1210	them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
		1211	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1212	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1213	C<selection>.
		1214
		1215	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1216	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
		1217	searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension

		1484
		1485	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1486	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1487
		1488	You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
		1489	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1490	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where C<0> is completely
		1491	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1492	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1493	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1494	all ways to specify a colour.
		1495
		1496	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1497	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1498	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1499	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1500	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1501	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1502	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1503
		1504	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1505	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1506	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1507	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1508
		1509	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1510	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1511
		1512	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1513
		1514	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1515	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1516	transparency of course).
		1517
		1518	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1519	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1520	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1521	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1522	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1523	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1524
		1525	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1526	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1527	extension.
