1146The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1051Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1147any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1052C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1150B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1055extension might provide.
1056
1057The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1058
1059 (modifiers-)key
1060
1061Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1062B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1063B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
1064B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1151 1065
1152The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1066The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1153whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1067whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1154keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1068keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1155current application keymap mode state. 1069current application keymap mode state.
1156 1070
1157The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1071Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1158searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1072match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1073key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1074defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1075C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1076themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1077this when this is a problem.
1078
1079The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1080find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1081looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1159omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1082the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1160keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1083value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1161performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1162 1084
1163I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1085As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1086escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1164number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1087number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1165 1088
1089An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1090of action, followed by a colon. An action strings without colons is
1091interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if they were
1092prefixed with C<string:>).
1093
1094The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1095additional prefixes:
1096
1097=over 4
1098
1099=item string:STRING
1100
1101If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1102then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1103terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1104string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1105
1106 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1107
1108This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1109
1110=item command:STRING
1111
1166If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1112If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1167is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1113is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1114the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1115in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1116most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1117
1168example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1118For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1169when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": 1119when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1170 1120

1172 1122
1173If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> 1123The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1174is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1124the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1175manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1125font-switching at runtime:
1176C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1177 1126
1178 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1127 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1128 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1179 1129
1180Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1130Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1181will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1131info):
1182no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1183means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1184definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1185mappings themselves.
1186 1132
1187Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1133 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1134 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1135
1136=item builtin:
1137
1138The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1139key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1140the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1141bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1142
1188if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1143For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1189C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1144@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1190user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1145"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1191 1146
1192 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1147 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1193 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1148 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1194 1149
1195The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1150The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1196of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1151of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1197C<Shift-Insert>. 1152C<Shift-Insert>.
1198 1153
1199The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1154=item builtin-string:
1200the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1201font-switching at runtime:
1202 1155
1203 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1156This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1204 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1157have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1158difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1159application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1160action for it.
1205 1161
1206Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1162An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1207info): 1163selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1164would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1165terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1208 1166
1209 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1167 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1210 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1168 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1169
1170The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1171combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1172C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1173
1174Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1175clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1176this:
1177
1178 URxvt.keysym.C-S-c: builtin-string:
1179 URxvt.keysym.C-S-v: builtin-string:
1180
1181=item EXTENSION:STRING
1182
1183An action of this form passes the B<STRING> to the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1184extension of the same name. The extension will be loaded automatically if
1185neccessary.
1186
1187Not all extensions define key actions, but popular extensions that do
1188include the I<selection> and I<matcher> extensions (documented in their
1189own manpages, @@RXVT_NAME@@-selection(1) and @@RXVT_NAME@@-matcher(1),
1190respectively).
1191
1192From the silly examples department, this will rot13-"encrypt"
1193@@RXVT_NAME@@'s selection when Alt-Control-c is pressed on typical PC
1194keyboards:
1195
1196 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: selection:rot13
1197
1198=item perl:STRING
1199
1200This is a deprecated way of passing key mappings to perl extensions. It is
1201still supported, but should not be used anymore.
1202
1203=back
1204
1205In addition, you can define a range of keysyms in one shot by loading
1206the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> with pattern
1207B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' should be a
1208character not used by the strings.
1209
1210Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1211
1212 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1213
1214The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1215
1216 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a>
1217 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<b>
