745sets scale and position. B<"W" / "H"> specify the horizontal/vertical
746scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image centre (percent). A

764The default scale and position setting is C<100x100+50+50>.

777ratio and centered. Equivalent to 100x100+50+50:op=keep-aspect

1174The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1069Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1175any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1070C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1178B<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>.
1179 1083
1180The 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
1181whatever 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
1182keys 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
1183current application keymap mode state. 1087current application keymap mode state.
1184 1088
1185The 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
1186searching 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
1187omitting 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
1188keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1101value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1189performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1190 1102
1191I<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
1192number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1105number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1193 1106
1194You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1107An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1195loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1108of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1196with 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
1197should be a character not used by the strings. 1131the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1198 1132
1199Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1133Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1200 1134
1201 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1135 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>

1203The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1137The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1147the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1148in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1149most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1218manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1158font-switching at runtime:
1219C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1220 1159

1161 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1222 1162
1223Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1163Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1224will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1164info):
1225no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1226means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1227definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1228mappings themselves.
1229 1165
1230Unfortunately, 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
1231if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1176For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1232C<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
1233user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1178"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:

1239of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1184of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1240C<Shift-Insert>. 1185C<Shift-Insert>.
1241 1186
1242The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1187=item builtin-string:
1243the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1244font-switching at runtime:
1245 1188
1246 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1189This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1247 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.
1248 1194
1249Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1195An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1250info): 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:
1251 1199
1252 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1200 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:

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:
