808If multiple templates are specified the last one wins. Note that a
809template overrides all the scale, position and operations settings.

811If used in conjunction with B<-tr> option, the specified pixmap will be
812blended over the transparent background using alpha-blending. If I<afterimage>

1190The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1051Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1191any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1052C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different
1192B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, 1053string than would normally result from that combination, making the

1194B<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>.
1195 1065
1196The 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
1197whatever 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
1198keys 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
1199current application keymap mode state. 1069current application keymap mode state.
1200 1070
1201The 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
1202searching 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
1203omitting 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
1204keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1083value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1205performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1206 1084
1207I<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
1208number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1087number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1209 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
1112If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
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
1118For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1119when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1120
1121 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1122
1123The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1124the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1125font-switching at runtime:
1126
1127 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1128 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1129
1130Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1131info):
1132
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
1143For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1144@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1145"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1146
1147 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1148 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1149
1150The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1151of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1152C<Shift-Insert>.
1153
1154=item EXTENSION:STRING
1155
1156An action of this form passes the B<STRING> to the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1157extension of the same name. The extension will be loaded automatically if
1158neccessary.
1159
1160Not all extensions define key actions, but popular extensions that do
1161include the I<selection> and I<matcher> extensions (documented in their
1162own manpages, @@RXVT_NAME@@-selection(1) and @@RXVT_NAME@@-matcher(1),
1163respectively).
1164
1165From the silly examples department, this will rot13-"encrypt"
1166@@RXVT_NAME@@'s selection when Alt-Control-c is pressed on typical PC
1167keyboards:
1168
1169 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: selection:rot13
1170
1171=item perl:STRING
1172
1173This is a deprecated way of passing key mappings to perl extensions. It is
1174still supported, but should not be used anymore.
1175
1176=back
1177
1210You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1178In addition, you can define a range of keysyms in one shot by loading
1211loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1179the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> with pattern
1212with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1180B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' should be a
1213should be a character not used by the strings. 1181character not used by the strings.
1214 1182
1215Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1183Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1216 1184
1217 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1185 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1218 1186
1219The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1187The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1220 1188
1221 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a> 1189 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a>

1223 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c> 1191 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c>
1224
1225If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1226is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
1227example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1228when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1229
1230 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1231
1232If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1233is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1234manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1235C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1236
1237 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13

1239Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1240will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1241no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1242means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1243definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1244mappings themselves.
1245
1246Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1247if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1248C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1249user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1250
1251 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1252 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1253
1254The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1255of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1256C<Shift-Insert>.
1257
1258The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1259the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1260font-switching at runtime:
1261
1262 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1263 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1264
1265Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1266info):
1267
1268 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
