1190The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1066Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1191any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1067C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1194B<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>.
1195 1080
1196The 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
1197whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1082whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1198keys 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
1199current application keymap mode state. 1084current application keymap mode state.
1200 1085
1201The 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
1202searching 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
1203omitting 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
1204keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1098value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1205performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1206 1099
1207I<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
1208number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1102number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1209 1103
1210You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1104An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1211loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1105of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1212with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 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
1213should be a character not used by the strings. 1128the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1214 1129
1215Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1130Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1216 1131
1217 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1132 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>

1144the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running

1146most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1233is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1154the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1234manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1155font-switching at runtime:
1235C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1236 1156
1237 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1157 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1158 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1238 1159
1239Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1160Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1240will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1161info):
1241no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1242means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1243definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1244mappings themselves.
1245 1162
1246Unfortunately, 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
1247if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1173For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1248C<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
1249user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1175"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1250 1176
1251 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1177 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1252 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1178 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:

1254The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1180The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1255of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1181of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1256C<Shift-Insert>. 1182C<Shift-Insert>.
1257 1183
1258The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1184=item builtin-string:
1259the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1260font-switching at runtime:
1261 1185
1262 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1186This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1263 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.
1264 1191
1265Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1192An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1266info): 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:
1267 1196
1268 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1197 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1269 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:
