1147The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1056Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1148any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1057C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1151B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1060extension might provide.
1061
1062The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1063
1064 (modifiers-)key
1065
1066Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1067B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1068B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
1069B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1152 1070
1153The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1071The 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 1072whatever 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 1073keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1156current application keymap mode state. 1074current application keymap mode state.
1157 1075
1158The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1076Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1159searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1077match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1078key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1079defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1080C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1081themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1082this when this is a problem.
1083
1084The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1085find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1086looking 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 1087the 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 1088value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1162performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1163 1089
1164I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1090As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1091escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1165number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1092number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1166 1093
1094An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1095of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1096interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1097prefixed with C<string:>).
1098
1099The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1100additional prefixes:
1101
1102=over 4
1103
1104=item string:STRING
1105
1106If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1107then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1108terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1109string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1110
1111 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1112
1113This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1114
1115=item command:STRING
1116
1167If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1117If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1168is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1118is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1119the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1120in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1121most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1122
1169example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1123For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1170when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": 1124when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1171 1125
1172 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 1126 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1173 1127
1174If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> 1128The 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) 1129the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1176manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1130font-switching at runtime:
1177C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1178 1131
1179 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1132 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1133 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1180 1134
1181Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1135Other 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 1136info):
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 1137
1188Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1138 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1139 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1140
1141=item builtin:
1142
1143The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1144key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1145the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1146bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1147
1189if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1148For 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 1149@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1191user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1150"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1192 1151
1193 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1152 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1194 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1153 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1195 1154
1196The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1155The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1197of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1156of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1198C<Shift-Insert>. 1157C<Shift-Insert>.
1199 1158
1200The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1159=item builtin-string:
1201the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1202font-switching at runtime:
1203 1160
1204 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1161This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1205 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1162have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1163difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1164application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1165action for it.
1206 1166
1207Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1167An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1208info): 1168selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1169would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1170terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1209 1171
1210 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1172 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1211 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1173 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1174
1175The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1176combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1177C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1178
1179Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1180clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1181this:
