1140The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1141
1142 (modifiers-)key
1143
1144Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of the following full or
1145abbreviated modifier names:

1158whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1165whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1159keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1166keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1160current application keymap mode state. 1167current application keymap mode state.
1161 1168
1162The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1169Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1163searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1170match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1171key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1172defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1173C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1174themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1175this when this is a problem.
1176
1177The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1178find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1179looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1164omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1180the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1165keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1181value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1166performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1167 1182
1168I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1183As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1184escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1169number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. 1185number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1170 1186
1171You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1187An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1172with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1188of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1189interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1190prefixed with C<string:>).
1191
1192The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1193additional prefixes:
1194
1195=over
1196
1197=item string:STRING
1198
1199If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1200then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1201terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1202string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1203
1204 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1205
1206This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1207
1208In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1209keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1210providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1173should be a character not used by the strings. 1211the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1174 1212
1175Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1213Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1176 1214
1177 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1215 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1178 1216
1179The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1217The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1180 1218
1181 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> 1219 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>

1186is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1226is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1227the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1228in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1229most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1230
1187example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1231For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>

1193is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1237the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1194manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1238font-switching at runtime:
1195C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1196 1239
1197 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1240 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1241 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1198 1242
1199Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1243Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1200will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1244info):
1201no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1202means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1203definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1204mappings themselves.
1205 1245
1206Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1246 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1247 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1248
1249=item builtin:
1250
1251The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1252key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1253the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1254bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1255
1207if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1256For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1208C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1257@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1209user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1258"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:

1218The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1267=item builtin-string:
1219the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1220font-switching at runtime:
1221 1268
1222 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1269This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1223 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1270have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1271difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1272application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1273action for it.
1224 1274
1225Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1275An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1226info): 1276selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1277would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1278terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1227 1279
1228 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1280 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1229 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1281 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1282
1283The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1284combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1285C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1286
1287Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1288clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1289this:
1290
1291 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
