1142
1143 (modifiers-)key
1144
1145Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of the following full or
1146abbreviated modifier names:

1144current application keymap mode state. 1168current application keymap mode state.
1145 1169
1146The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1170Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1147searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1171match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1172key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1173defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1174C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1175themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1176this when this is a problem.
1177
1178The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1179find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1180looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1148omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1181the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1149keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1182value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1150performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1151 1183
1152I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1184As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1185escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1153number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. 1186number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1154 1187
1155You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1188An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1156with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1189of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1190interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1191prefixed with C<string:>).
1192
1193The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1194additional prefixes:
1195
1196=over
1197
1198=item string:STRING
1199
1200If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1201then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1202terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1203string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1204
1205 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1206
1207This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1208
1209In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1210keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1211providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1157should be a character not used by the strings. 1212the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1158 1213
1159Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1214Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1160 1215
1161 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1216 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1162 1217
1163The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1218The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1228the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1229in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1230most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1176If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> 1237The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1177is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1238the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1178manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1239font-switching at runtime:
1179C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1180 1240
1181 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1241 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1242 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1182 1243
1183Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1244Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1184will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1245info):
1185no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1186means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1187definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1188mappings themselves.
1189 1246
1190Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1247 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1248 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1249
1250=item builtin:
1251
1252The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1253key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1254the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1255bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1256
1191if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1257For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1192C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1258@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1193user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1259"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1194 1260
1195 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1261 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1196 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1262 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:

1198The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1264The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1199of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1265of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1200C<Shift-Insert>. 1266C<Shift-Insert>.
1201 1267
1202The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1268=item builtin-string:
1203the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1204font-switching at runtime:
1205 1269
1206 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1270This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1207 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1271have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1272difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1273application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1274action for it.
1208 1275
1209Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1276An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1210info): 1277selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1278would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1279terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1211 1280
1212 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1281 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1213 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1282 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1283
1284The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1285combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1286C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1287
1288Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1289clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1290this:
1291
1292 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1293 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
