+=item B<blurRadius:> I<HxV>
+Apply gaussian blur with the specified radius to the transparent
+background. If a single number is specified, the vertical and
+horizontal radii are considered to be the same. Setting one of the
+radii to 1 and the other to a large number creates interesting effects
+on some backgrounds. The maximum radius value is 128. An horizontal or
+vertical radius of 0 disables blurring.

 =head1 THE SCROLLBAR
 window causes the value of the PRIMARY selection (or CLIPBOARD with the
 B<Meta> modifier) to be inserted as if it had been typed on the keyboard.
 Pressing B<Shift-Insert> causes the value of the PRIMARY selection to be
 inserted too.
+rxvt-unicode also provides the bindings B<Ctrl-Meta-c> and
+<Ctrl-Meta-v> to interact with the CLIPBOARD selection. The first
+binding causes the value of the internal selection to be copied to the
+CLIPBOARD selection, while the second binding causes the value of the
+CLIPBOARD selection to be inserted.

 =head1 CHANGING FONTS
 The following text gives values for the standard 88 colour mode (and
 values for the 256 colour mode in parentheses).
 The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
-   index_88  = (r *  4 + g) *  4 + b + 16   # r, g, b = 0..3
+   index_88  = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16   # r, g, b = 0..3
-   index_256 = (r * 16 + g) * 16 + b + 16   # r, g, b = 0..15
+   index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16   # r, g, b = 0..5
 The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
 steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of
 the RGB cube.
