1051The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1101Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1052any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1102C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1055B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1105extension might provide.
1106
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:
1113
1114=begin table
1115
1116 B<ISOLevel3> B<I>
1117 B<AppKeypad> B<K>
1118 B<Control> B<C>
1119 B<NumLock> B<N>
1120 B<Shift> B<S>
1121 B<Meta> B<M> I<or> B<A>

1126 B<Mod4> B<4>
1127 B<Mod5> B<5>
1128
1129=end table
1056 1130
1057The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1131The 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 1132whatever 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 1133keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1060current application keymap mode state. 1134current application keymap mode state.
1061 1135
1062The 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
1063searching 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
1064omitting 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
1065keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1148value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1066performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1067 1149
1068I<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
1069number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1152number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1070 1153
1071You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1154An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1072loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1155of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1073with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 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
1074should be a character not used by the strings. 1178the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1075 1179
1076Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1180Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1077 1181
1078 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1182 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1079 1183
1080The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1184The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1081 1185
1082 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a> 1186 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
1083 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<b> 1187 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>
1084 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c> 1188 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: string:\033<c>
1085 1189
1190=item command:STRING
1191
1086If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1192If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1087is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1193is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1194the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1195in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1196most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1197
1088example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1198For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1089when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": 1199when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":

1092 1202
1093If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> 1203The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1094is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1204the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1095manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1205font-switching at runtime:
1096C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1097 1206
1098 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
1099 1209
1100Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1210Other 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 1211info):
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 1212
1107Unfortunately, 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
1108if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1223For 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 1224@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1110user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1225"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1111 1226

1119The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1234=item builtin-string:
1120the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1121font-switching at runtime:
1122 1235
1123 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1236This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1124 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.
1125 1241
1126Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1242An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1127info): 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:
1128 1246
1129 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1247 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1130 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:
1259 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
