1051The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1074Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1052any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1075C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1055B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1078extension might provide.
1079
1080The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1081
1082 (modifiers-)key
1083
1084Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of the following full or
1085abbreviated modifier names:
1086
1087=begin table
1088
1089 B<ISOLevel3> B<I>
1090 B<AppKeypad> B<K>
1091 B<Control> B<C>

1099 B<Mod4> B<4>
1100 B<Mod5> B<5>
1101
1102=end table
1056 1103
1057The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1104The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1058whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1105whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1059keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1106keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1060current application keymap mode state. 1107current application keymap mode state.
1061 1108
1062The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1109Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1063searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1110match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1111key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1112defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1113C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1114themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1115this when this is a problem.
1116
1117The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1118find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1119looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1064omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1120the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1065keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1121value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1066performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1067 1122
1068I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1123As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1124escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1069number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1125number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1070 1126
1071You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1127An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1072loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1128of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1073with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1129interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1130prefixed with C<string:>).
1131
1132The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1133additional prefixes:
1134
1135=over 4
1136
1137=item string:STRING
1138
1139If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1140then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1141terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1142string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1143
1144 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1145
1146This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1147
1148In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1149keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1150providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1074should be a character not used by the strings. 1151the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1075 1152
1076Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1153Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1077 1154
1078 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1155 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1079 1156
1080The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1157The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1081 1158
1082 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a> 1159 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
1083 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<b> 1160 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>
1084 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c> 1161 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: string:\033<c>
1085 1162
1163=item command:STRING
1164
1086If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1165If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1087is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1166is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1167the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1168in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1169most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1170
1088example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1171For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>

1094is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1177the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1095manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1178font-switching at runtime:
1096C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1097 1179
1098 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1180 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1181 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1099 1182
1100Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1183Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1101will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1184info):
1102no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1103means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1104definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1105mappings themselves.
1106 1185
1107Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1186 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1187 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1188
1189=item builtin:
1190
1191The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1192key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1193the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1194bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1195
1108if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1196For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1109C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1197@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1110user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1198"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1111 1199
1112 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1200 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1113 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1201 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1114 1202
1115The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1203The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1116of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1204of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1117C<Shift-Insert>. 1205C<Shift-Insert>.
1118 1206
1119The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1207=item builtin-string:
1120the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1121font-switching at runtime:
1122 1208
1123 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1209This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1124 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1210have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1211difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1212application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1213action for it.
1125 1214
1126Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1215An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1127info): 1216selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1217would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1218terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1128 1219
1129 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1220 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1130 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1221 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1222
1223The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1224combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1225C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1226
1227Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1228clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1229this:
1230
1231 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1232 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
1233
1234=item EXTENSION:STRING
1235
1236An action of this form invokes the action B<STRING>, if any, provided
1237by the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) extension B<EXTENSION>. The extension will
1238be loaded automatically if necessary.
1239
1240Not all extensions define actions, but popular extensions that do
1241include the I<selection> and I<matcher> extensions (documented in their
1242own manpages, @@RXVT_NAME@@-selection(1) and @@RXVT_NAME@@-matcher(1),
1243respectively).

1311horizontal radii are considered to be the same. Setting one of the
1312radii to 1 and the other to a large number creates interesting effects
