1147The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1051Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1148any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1052C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1151B<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>.
1152 1065
1153The 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
1154whatever 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
1155keys 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
1156current application keymap mode state. 1069current application keymap mode state.
1157 1070
1158The 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
1159searching 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
1160omitting 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
1161keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1083value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1162performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1163 1084
1164I<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
1165number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1087number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1166 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
1167If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1112If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1168is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 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
1169example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1118For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1170when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": 1119when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":

1174If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> 1123The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1175is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1124the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1176manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1125font-switching at runtime:
1177C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1178 1126
1179 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1127 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1128 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1180 1129
1181Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1130Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1182will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1131info):
1183no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1184means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1185definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1186mappings themselves.
1187 1132
1188Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 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
1189if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1143For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1190C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1144@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1191user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1145"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1192 1146
1193 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1147 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>

1198C<Shift-Insert>. 1152C<Shift-Insert>.
1199 1153
1200The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1154=item EXTENSION:STRING
1201the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1202font-switching at runtime:
1203 1155
1204 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1156An action of this form passes the B<STRING> to the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1205 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1157extension of the same name. The extension will be loaded automatically if
1158neccessary.
1206 1159
1207Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1160Not all extensions define key actions, but popular extensions that do
1208info): 1161include the I<selection> and I<matcher> extensions (documented in their
1162own manpages, @@RXVT_NAME@@-selection(1) and @@RXVT_NAME@@-matcher(1),
1163respectively).

1177
1178In addition, you can define a range of keysyms in one shot by loading
1179the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> with pattern
1180B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' should be a
1181character not used by the strings.

1376horizontal radii are considered to be the same. Setting one of the
1377radii to 1 and the other to a large number creates interesting effects
