1072any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1102C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1075B<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>

1078whatever 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
1079keys 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
1080current application keymap mode state. 1134current application keymap mode state.
1081 1135
1082The 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
1083searching 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
1084omitting 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
1085keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1148value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1086performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1087 1149
1088I<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
1089number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. 1152number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1090 1153
1091You 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
1092with 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
1093should be a character not used by the strings. 1178the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1094 1179
1095Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1180Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1096 1181
1097 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@@.

1114manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1205font-switching at runtime:
1115C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1116 1206
1117 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
1118 1209
1119Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1210Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1120will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1211info):
1121no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1122means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1123definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1124mappings themselves.
1125 1212
1126Unfortunately, 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
1127if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1223For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1128C<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
1129user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1225"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1130 1226

1135of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1231of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1136C<Shift-Insert>. 1232C<Shift-Insert>.
1137 1233
1138The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1234=item builtin-string:
1139the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1140font-switching at runtime:
1141 1235
1142 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1236This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1143 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.
1144 1241
1145Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1242An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1146info): 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:
1147 1246
1148 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1247 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1149 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:

1377B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> can display up to 16 colours (8 ANSI colours plus 1524B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> can display up to 88/256 colours: 8 ANSI colours plus
1378high-intensity bold/blink versions of the same). Here is a list of the 1525high-intensity (potentially bold/blink) versions of the same, and 72 (or
1379colours with their names. 1526240 in 256 colour mode) colours arranged in an 4x4x4 (or 6x6x6) colour RGB
1527cube plus a 8 (24) colour greyscale ramp.

1529B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> supports direct 24-bit fg/bg RGB colour escapes
1530C< ESC [ 38 ; 2 ; R ; G ; Bm > / C< ESC [ 48 ; 2; R ; G ; Bm >. However the
1531number of 24-bit colours that can be used is limited: an internal 7x7x5 (256
1532colour mode) or 6x6x4 (88 colour mode) colour cube is used to index into the
153324-bit colour space. When indexing collisions happen, the nearest old colour in
1534the cube will be adapted to the new 24-bit RGB colour. That means one cannot
1535use many similar 24-bit colours. It's typically not a problem in common
1536scenarios.

1571The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:

1574 index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5
