1123
1124The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1125
1126 (modifiers-)key
1127
1128Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of the following full or
1129abbreviated modifier names:
1130

1160The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1148The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1161whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1149whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1162keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1150keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1163current application keymap mode state. 1151current application keymap mode state.
1164 1152
1165The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1153Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1166searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1154match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1155key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1156defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1157C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1158themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1159this when this is a problem.
1160
1161The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1162find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1163looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1167omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1164the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1168keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1165value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1169performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1170 1166
1171I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1167As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1168escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1172number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1169number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1173 1170
1174You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1171An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1175with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1172of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1173interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1174prefixed with C<string:>).
1175
1176The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1177additional prefixes:
1178
1179=over
1180
1181=item string:STRING
1182
1183If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1184then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1185terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1186string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1187
1188 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1189
1190This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1191
1192In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1193keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1194providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1176should be a character not used by the strings. 1195the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1177 1196
1178Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1197Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1179 1198
1180 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1199 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1181 1200
1182The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1201The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1183 1202

1188If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1209If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1189is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1210is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1211the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1212in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1213most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1214
1190example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1215For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>

1197manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1222font-switching at runtime:
1198C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1199 1223
1200 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1224 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1225 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1201 1226
1202Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1227Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1203will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1228info):
1204no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1205means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1206definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1207mappings themselves.
1208 1229
1209Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1230 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1231 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1232
1233=item builtin:
1234
1235The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1236key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1237the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1238bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1239
1210if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1240For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1211C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1241@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1212user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1242"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1213 1243
1214 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1244 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1215 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1245 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:

1217The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1247The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1218of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1248of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1219C<Shift-Insert>. 1249C<Shift-Insert>.
1220 1250
1221The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1251=item builtin-string:
1222the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1223font-switching at runtime:
1224 1252
1225 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1253This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1226 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1254have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1255difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1256application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1257action for it.
1227 1258
1228Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1259An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1229info): 1260selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1261would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1262terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1230 1263
1231 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1264 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1232 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1265 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1266
1267The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1268combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1269C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1270
1271Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1272clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1273this:
1274
1275 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1276 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:

1280An action of this form invokes the action B<STRING>, if any, provided
1281by the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) extension B<EXTENSION>. The extension will
1282be loaded automatically if necessary.
1283
1284Not all extensions define actions, but popular extensions that do
1285include the I<selection> and I<matcher> extensions (documented in their
1286own manpages, @@RXVT_NAME@@-selection(1) and @@RXVT_NAME@@-matcher(1),
