1142The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1074Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1143any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1075C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1146B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1078extension might provide.
1079
1080The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1081
1082 (modifiers-)key
1083
1084Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1085B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1086B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
1087B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1147 1088
1148The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1089The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1149whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1090whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1150keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1091keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1151current application keymap mode state. 1092current application keymap mode state.
1152 1093
1153The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1094Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1154searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1095match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1096key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1097defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1098C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1099themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1100this when this is a problem.
1101
1102The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1103find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1104looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1155omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1105the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1156keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1106value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1157performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1158 1107
1159I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1108As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1109escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1160number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. 1110number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1161 1111
1162You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1112An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1163with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1113of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1114interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1115prefixed with C<string:>).
1116
1117The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1118additional prefixes:
1119
1120=over 4
1121
1122=item string:STRING
1123
1124If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1125then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1126terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1127string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1128
1129 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1130
1131This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1132
1133In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1134keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1135providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1164should be a character not used by the strings. 1136the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1165 1137
1166Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1138Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1167 1139
1168 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1140 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>

1170The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1142The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1152the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running

1154most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1185manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1163font-switching at runtime:
1186C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1187 1164
1188 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1165 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1166 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1189 1167
1190Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1168Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1191will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1169info):
1192no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1193means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1194definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1195mappings themselves.
1196 1170
1197Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1171 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1172 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1173
1174=item builtin:
1175
1176The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1177key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1178the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1179bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1180
1198if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1181For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1199C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1182@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1200user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1183"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1201 1184

1205The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1188The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1206of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1189of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1207C<Shift-Insert>. 1190C<Shift-Insert>.
1208 1191
1209The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1192=item builtin-string:
1210the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1211font-switching at runtime:
1212 1193
1213 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1194This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1214 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1195have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1196difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1197application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1198action for it.
1215 1199
1216Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1200An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1217info): 1201selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1202would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1203terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1218 1204
1219 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1205 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1220 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1206 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1207
1208The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1209combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1210C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1211
1212Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1213clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1214this:
1215
1216 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1217 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:

1489number of 24-bit colours that can be used is limited: an internal 7x7x5 (256
1490colour mode) or 6x6x4 (88 colour mode) colour cube is used to index into the
149124-bit colour space. When indexing collisions happen, the nearest old colour in
1492the cube will be adapted to the new 24-bit RGB colour. That means one cannot
1493use many similar 24-bit colours. It's typically not a problem in common
