1155any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1136C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1158B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1139extension might provide.
1140
1141The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1142
1143 (modifiers-)key
1144
1145Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of the following full or
1146abbreviated modifier names:
1147
1148=begin table
1149
1150 B<ISOLevel3> B<I>
1151 B<AppKeypad> B<K>

1159 1164
1160The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1165The 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 1166whatever 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 1167keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1163current application keymap mode state. 1168current application keymap mode state.
1164 1169
1165The 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
1166searching 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
1167omitting 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
1168keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1182value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1169performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1170 1183
1171I<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
1172number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1186number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1173 1187
1174You 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
1175with 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
1176should be a character not used by the strings. 1212the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1177 1213
1178Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1214Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1179 1215
1180 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1216 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1181 1217
1182The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1218The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1225
1188If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1226If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1189is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1227is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
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@@.
1231
1190example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1232For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>

1196is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1238the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1197manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1239font-switching at runtime:
1198C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1199 1240
1200 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
1201 1243
1202Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1244Other 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 1245info):
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 1246
1209Unfortunately, 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
1210if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1257For 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 1258@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1212user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1259"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1213 1260
1214 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1261 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1215 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1262 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:

1217The 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
1218of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1265of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1219C<Shift-Insert>. 1266C<Shift-Insert>.
1220 1267
1221The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1268=item builtin-string:
1222the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1223font-switching at runtime:
1224 1269
1225 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1270This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1226 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.
1227 1275
1228Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1276An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1229info): 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:
1230 1280
1231 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1281 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1232 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:

1299be loaded automatically if necessary.
