1178The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1069Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1179any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1070C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

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

1147the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running

1149most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1222manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1158font-switching at runtime:
1223C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1224 1159
1225 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1160 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1161 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1226 1162
1227Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1163Other 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 1164info):
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 1165
1234Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1166 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1167 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1168
1169=item builtin:
1170
1171The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1172key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1173the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1174bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1175
1235if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1176For 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 1177@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1237user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1178"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1238 1179
1239 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1180 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>

1242The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1183The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1243of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1184of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1244C<Shift-Insert>. 1185C<Shift-Insert>.
1245 1186
1246The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1187=item builtin-string:
1247the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1248font-switching at runtime:
1249 1188
1250 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1189This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1251 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1190have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1191difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1192application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1193action for it.
1252 1194
1253Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1195An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1254info): 1196selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1197would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1198terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1255 1199
1256 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1200 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1257 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1201 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1202
1203The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1204combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1205C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1206
1207Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1208clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1209this:
1210
1211 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1212 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
