1107The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1108
1109 (modifiers-)key
1110
1111Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of the following full or
1112abbreviated modifier names:

1132current application keymap mode state. 1134current application keymap mode state.
1133 1135
1134The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1136Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1135searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1137match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1138key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1139defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1140C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1141themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1142this when this is a problem.
1143
1144The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1145find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1146looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1136omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1147the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1137keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1148value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1138performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1139 1149
1140I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1150As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1151escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1141number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. 1152number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1142 1153
1143You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1154An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1144with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1155of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1156interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1157prefixed with C<string:>).
1158
1159The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1160additional prefixes:
1161
1162=over
1163
1164=item string:STRING
1165
1166If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1167then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1168terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1169string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1170
1171 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1172
1173This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1174
1175In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1176keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1177providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1145should be a character not used by the strings. 1178the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1146 1179
1147Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1180Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1148 1181
1149 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1182 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1150 1183
1151The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1184The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1152 1185

1194the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1195in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1196most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1197
1159example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1198For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>

1165is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1204the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1166manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1205font-switching at runtime:
1167C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1168 1206
1169 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1207 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1208 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1170 1209
1171Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1210Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1172will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1211info):
1173no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1174means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1175definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1176mappings themselves.
1177 1212
1178Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1213 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

1217
1218The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1219key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1220the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1221bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1222
1179if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1223For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1180C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1224@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1181user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1225"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:

1187of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1231of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for

1190The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1234=item builtin-string:
1191the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1192font-switching at runtime:
1193 1235
1194 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1236This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1195 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1237have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1238difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1239application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1240action for it.
1196 1241
1197Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1242An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1198info): 1243selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1244would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1245terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1199 1246
1200 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1247 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1201 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1248 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1249
1250The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1251combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1252C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1253
1254Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1255clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1256this:
1257
