1139
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:
1146

1145The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1164The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1146whatever 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
1147keys 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
1148current application keymap mode state. 1167current application keymap mode state.
1149 1168
1150The 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
1151searching 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
1152omitting 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
1153keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1181value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1154performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1155 1182
1156I<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
1157number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1185number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1158 1186
1159You 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
1160with 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
1161should be a character not used by the strings. 1211the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1162 1212
1163Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1213Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1164 1214
1165 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1215 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1166 1216
1167The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1217The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1168 1218

1173If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1225If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1174is 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
1175example 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>

1182manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1238font-switching at runtime:
1183C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1184 1239
1185 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
1186 1242
1187Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1243Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1188will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1244info):
1189no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1190means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1191definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1192mappings themselves.
1193 1245
1194Unfortunately, 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
1195if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1256For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1196C<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
1197user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1258"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1198 1259
1199 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1260 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1200 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1261 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:

1202The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1263The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1203of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1264of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1204C<Shift-Insert>. 1265C<Shift-Insert>.
1205 1266
1206The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1267=item builtin-string:
1207the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1208font-switching at runtime:
1209 1268
1210 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1269This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1211 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.
1212 1274
1213Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1275An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1214info): 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:
1215 1279
1216 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1280 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1217 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:
1292 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:

1298be loaded automatically if necessary.
