1027 1094
1028The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1095Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1029searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1096match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1097key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1098defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1099C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1100themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1101this when this is a problem.
1102
1103The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1104find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1105looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1030omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1106the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1031keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1107value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1032performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1033 1108
1034I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace, 1109As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1035C<\e>, C<\E>: escape, C<\n>: newline, C<\r>: carriage return, C<\t>: tab, 1110escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1036C<\000>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (C<^?>: delete, 1111number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1037C<^@>: null, C<^A> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it
1038can start or end with whitespace. B<This feature is deprecated and will
1039be removed>.
1040 1112
1041Please note that you need to double the C<\> in resource files, as 1113An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1042Xlib itself does its own de-escaping (you can use C<\033> instead of 1114of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1043C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own 1115interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1044processing). 1116prefixed with C<string:>).
1045 1117
1046You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1118The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1047with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1119additional prefixes:
1120
1121=over 4
1122
1123=item string:STRING
1124
1125If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1126then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1127terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1128string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1129
1130 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1131
1132This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1133
1134In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1135keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1136providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1048should be a character not used by the strings. 1137the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1049 1138
1050Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1139Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1051 1140

1153the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running

1155most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1069manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1164font-switching at runtime:
1070C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1071 1165
1072 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1166 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1167 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1073 1168

1075will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1170info):
1076no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1077means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1078definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1079mappings themselves.
1080 1171
1081Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1172 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1173 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1174
1175=item builtin:
1176
1177The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1178key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1179the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1180bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1181
1082if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1182For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1083C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1183@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1084user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1184"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:

1092 1192
1093The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1193=item builtin-string:
1094the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1095font-switching at runtime:
1096 1194
1097 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1195This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1098 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1196have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1197difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1198application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1199action for it.
1099 1200
1100Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1201An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1101info): 1202selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1203would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1204terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1102 1205
1103 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1206 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:

1208
1209The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1210combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1211C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1212
1213Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1214clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1215this:
1216
1217 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
