743Supported operations are:
744

749sets scale and position. B<"W" / "H"> specify the horizontal/vertical
750scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image centre (percent). A
751scale of 0 disables scaling. The maximum permitted scale is 1000.

1177 1065
1178The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1066Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1179any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1067C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1182B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1070extension might provide.
1071
1072The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1073
1074 (modifiers-)key
1075
1076Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1077B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1078B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
1079B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1183 1080
1184The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1081The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1185whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1082whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1186keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1083keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1187current application keymap mode state. 1084current application keymap mode state.
1188 1085
1189The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1086Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1190searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1087match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1088key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1089defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1090C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1091themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1092this when this is a problem.
1093
1094The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1095find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1096looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1191omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1097the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1192keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1098value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1193performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1194 1099
1195I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1100As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1101escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1196number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1102number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1197 1103
1198You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1104An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1199loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1105of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1200with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1106interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1107prefixed with C<string:>).
1108
1109The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1110additional prefixes:
1111
1112=over 4
1113
1114=item string:STRING
1115
1116If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1117then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1118terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1119string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1120
1121 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1122
1123This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1124
1125In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1126keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1127providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1201should be a character not used by the strings. 1128the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1202 1129
1203Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1130Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1204 1131
1205 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1132 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1206 1133
1207The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1134The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1208 1135
1209 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a> 1136 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>

1144the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1145in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1146most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1222manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1155font-switching at runtime:
1223C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1224 1156
1225 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1157 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1158 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1226 1159
1227Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1160Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1228will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1161info):
1229no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1230means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1231definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1232mappings themselves.
1233 1162
1234Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1163 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1164 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1165
1166=item builtin:
1167
1168The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1169key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1170the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1171bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1172
1235if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1173For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1236C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1174@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1237user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1175"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1238 1176

1242The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1180The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1243of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1181of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1244C<Shift-Insert>. 1182C<Shift-Insert>.
1245 1183
1246The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1184=item builtin-string:
1247the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1248font-switching at runtime:
1249 1185
1250 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1186This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1251 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1187have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1188difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1189application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1190action for it.
1252 1191
1253Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1192An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1254info): 1193selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1194would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1195terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1255 1196
1256 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1197 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1257 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1198 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1199
1200The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1201combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1202C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1203
1204Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1205clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1206this:
1207
1208 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1209 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
