1107The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1108
1109 (modifiers-)key
1110
1111Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of the following full or
1112abbreviated modifier names:

1111current application keymap mode state. 1134current application keymap mode state.
1112 1135
1113The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1136Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1114searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1137match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1138key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1139defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1140C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1141themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1142this when this is a problem.
1143
1144The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1145find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1146looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1115omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1147the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1116keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1148value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1117performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1118 1149
1119I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1150As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1151escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1120number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. 1152number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1121 1153
1122You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1154An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1123with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1155of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1156interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1157prefixed with C<string:>).
1158
1159The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1160additional prefixes:
1161
1162=over 4
1163
1164=item string:STRING
1165
1166If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1167then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1168terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1169string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1170
1171 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1172
1173This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1174
1175In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1176keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1177providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1124should be a character not used by the strings. 1178the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1125 1179
1126Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1180Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1127 1181
1128 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1182 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>

1194the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running

1196most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1145manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1205font-switching at runtime:
1146C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1147 1206
1148 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1207 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1208 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1149 1209
1150Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1210Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1151will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1211info):
1152no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1153means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1154definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1155mappings themselves.
1156 1212
1157Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1213 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1214 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1215
1216=item builtin:
1217
1218The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1219key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1220the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1221bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1222
1158if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1223For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1159C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1224@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1160user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1225"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1161 1226

1166of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1231of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1167C<Shift-Insert>. 1232C<Shift-Insert>.
1168 1233
1169The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1234=item builtin-string:
1170the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1171font-switching at runtime:
1172 1235
1173 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1236This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1174 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1237have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1238difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1239application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1240action for it.
1175 1241
1176Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1242An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1177info): 1243selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1244would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1245terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1178 1246
1179 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1247 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1180 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1248 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1249
1250The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1251combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1252C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1253
1254Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1255clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1256this:
1257
1258 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
