759sets scale and position. B<"W" / "H"> specify the horizontal/vertical
760scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image centre (percent). A
761scale of 0 disables scaling. The maximum permitted scale is 1000.

778The default scale and position setting is C<100x100+50+50>.

791ratio and centered. Equivalent to 100x100+50+50:op=keep-aspect

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

1190The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1074Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1191any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1075C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1194B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1078extension might provide.
1079
1080The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1081
1082 (modifiers-)key
1083
1084Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1085B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1086B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,

1195 1088

1200 1093
1201The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1094Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1202searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1095match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1096key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1097defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1098C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1099themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1100this when this is a problem.
1101
1102The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1103find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1104looking 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 1105the 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 1106value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).

1210You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1112An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1211loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1113of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1212with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1114interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1115prefixed with C<string:>).
1116
1117The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1118additional prefixes:
1119
1120=over 4
1121
1122=item string:STRING
1123
1124If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1125then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1126terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1127string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1128
1129 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1130
1131This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1132
1133In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1134keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1135providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1213should be a character not used by the strings. 1136the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1214 1137
1215Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1138Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1216 1139
1217 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1140 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1218 1141
1219The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1142The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1152the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1153in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1154most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1234manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1163font-switching at runtime:
1235C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1236 1164
1237 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1165 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1166 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1238 1167
1239Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1168Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1240will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1169info):
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 1170
1246Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1171 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1172 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1173
1174=item builtin:
1175
1176The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1177key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1178the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1179bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1180
1247if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1181For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1248C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1182@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1249user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1183"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1250 1184
1251 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1185 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1252 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1186 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:

1254The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1188The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1255of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1189of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1256C<Shift-Insert>. 1190C<Shift-Insert>.
1257 1191
1258The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1192=item builtin-string:
1259the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1260font-switching at runtime:
1261 1193
1262 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1194This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1263 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1195have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1196difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1197application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1198action for it.
1264 1199
1265Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1200An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1266info): 1201selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1202would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1203terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1267 1204
1268 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1205 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1269 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1206 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1207
1208The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1209combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1210C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1211
1212Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1213clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1214this:
1215
1216 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1217 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
