749
750Use the specified image file for the background and also
751optionally specify its scaling with a geometry string B<WxH+X+Y>,
752(default C<100x100+50+50>) in which B<"W" / "H"> specify the
753horizontal/vertical scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image
754centre (percent). A scale of 0 disables scaling.
755The maximum permitted scale is 1000.
756Additional operations can be specified after colon B<:op1:op2...>.
757Supported operations are:
758
759 op=tile enables tiling
760 op=pscale enables proportional scaling
761 op=root use the position of the terminal window relative to the root
762 window as the image offset, simulating a root window background
763
764Alternatively, a predefined set of templates can be used to achieve
765the most common setups:
766
767 style=tiled the image is tiled with no scaling
768 style=aspect-stretched the image is scaled to fill the whole window maintaining
769 the aspect ratio and centered
770 style=stretched the image is scaled to fill the whole window
771 style=centered the image is centered with no scaling
772 style=root-tiled the image is tiled with no scaling and using 'op=root' positioning
773
774If multiple templates are specified the last one wins. Note that a
775template overrides all the scale, position and operations settings.
776Indeed, the templates can be specified in terms of low level settings
777as follows:
778
779 style=tiled 0x0+0+0:op=tile
780 style=aspect-stretched +50+50:op=pscale
781 style=stretched 100x100

1164The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1066Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1165any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1067C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1168B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1070extension might provide.
1071
1072The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1073
1074 (modifiers-)key
1075
1076Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1077B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1078B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
1079B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.

1170The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1081The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to

1172keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1083keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1173current application keymap mode state. 1084current application keymap mode state.
1174 1085
1175The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1086Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1176searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1087match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1088key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1089defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1090C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1091themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1092this when this is a problem.
1093
1094The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1095find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1096looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1177omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1097the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1178keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1098value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1179performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1180 1099
1181I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1100As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1101escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1182number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1102number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1183 1103
1184You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1104An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1185with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1105of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1106interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1107prefixed with C<string:>).
1108
1109The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1110additional prefixes:
1111
1112=over 4
1113
1114=item string:STRING
1115
1116If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1117then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1118terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1119string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1120
1121 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1122
1123This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1124
1125In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1126keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1127providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1186should be a character not used by the strings. 1128the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1187 1129
1188Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1130Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1189 1131
1190 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1132 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>

1192The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1134The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1144the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1145in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1146most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1207manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1155font-switching at runtime:
1208C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:

1213will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1161info):
1214no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1215means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1216definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1217mappings themselves.
1218 1162
1219Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1163 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1164 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1165
1166=item builtin:
1167
1168The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1169key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1170the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1171bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1172
1220if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1173For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1221C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1174@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1222user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1175"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:

1228of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1181of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1229C<Shift-Insert>. 1182C<Shift-Insert>.
1230 1183
1231The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1184=item builtin-string:
1232the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1233font-switching at runtime:
1234 1185
1235 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1186This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1236 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1187have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1188difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1189application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1190action for it.
1237 1191
1238Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1192An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1239info): 1193selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1194would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1195terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1240 1196
1241 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1197 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1242 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1198 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1199
1200The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1201combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1202C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1203
1204Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1205clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1206this:
1207
1208 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1209 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
