		486	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		487	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		488	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		489	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		490
		491	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		492
		493	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		494	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		495	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		496	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		497	not.
		498
		499	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		500	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		501
		502	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		503	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		504	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		509
		510	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		511	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		512	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		513	without having to run a program within it.
		514
		515	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		516	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		517	yourself if you want that.
		518
		519	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		520	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		521	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		522
		523	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		524	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		525
		526	use IO::Pty;
		527	use Fcntl;
		528

		1131	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1132	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1133	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1134	current application keymap mode state.
		1135
		1136	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
		1137	match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
		1138	key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
		1139	defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
		1140	C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
		1141	themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
		1142	this when this is a problem.
		1143
		1144	The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
		1145	find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
		1146	looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
		1147	the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
		1148	value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
		1149
		1150	As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
		1151	escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
		1152	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
		1153
		1154	An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
		1155	of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
		1156	interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
		1157	prefixed with C<string:>).
		1158
		1159	The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
		1160	additional prefixes:
		1161
		1162	=over
		1163
		1164	=item string:STRING
		1165
		1166	If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
		1167	then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
		1168	terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
		1169	string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
		1170
		1171	URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
		1172
		1173	This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
		1174
		1175	In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
		1176	keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
		1177	providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
		1178	the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
		1179
		1180	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1181
		1182	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
		1183
		1184	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1185
		1186	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
		1187	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>
		1188	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: string:\033<c>
		1189
		1190	=item command:STRING
		1191
		1192	If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1193	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
		1194	the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
		1195	in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
		1196	most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
		1197
		1198	For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1199	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1200
		1201	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1202
		1203	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1204	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1205	font-switching at runtime:
		1206
		1207	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1208	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1209
		1210	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1211	info):
		1212
		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
		1218	The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
		1219	key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
		1220	the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
		1221	bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
		1222
		1223	For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
		1224	@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
		1225	"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1226
		1227	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1228	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1229
		1230	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1231	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1232	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1233
		1234	=item builtin-string:
		1235
		1236	This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
		1237	have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
		1238	difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
		1239	application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
		1240	action for it.
		1241
		1242	An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
		1243	selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
		1244	would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
		1245	terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
		1246
		1247	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
		1248	URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
		1249
		1250	The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
		1251	combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
		1252	C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
		1253
		1254	Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
		1255	clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
		1256	this:
		1257
		1258	URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
		1259	URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
		1260
		1261	=item EXTENSION:STRING
		1262
		1263	An action of this form invokes the action B<STRING>, if any, provided
		1264	by the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) extension B<EXTENSION>. The extension will
		1265	be loaded automatically if necessary.
		1266
		1267	Not all extensions define actions, but popular extensions that do
		1268	include the I<selection> and I<matcher> extensions (documented in their
		1269	own manpages, @@RXVT_NAME@@-selection(1) and @@RXVT_NAME@@-matcher(1),
		1270	respectively).
		1271
		1272	From the silly examples department, this will rot13-"encrypt"
		1273	@@RXVT_NAME@@'s selection when Alt-Control-c is pressed on typical PC
		1274	keyboards:
		1275
		1276	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: selection:rot13
		1277
		1278	=item perl:STRING *DEPRECATED*

		1293	case they had been specified earlier. This can be useful to selectively
		1294	disable some extensions loaded by default, or specified via the
		1295	C<perl-ext-common> resource. For example, C<default,-selection> will use
		1296	all the default extensions except C<selection>.
		1297
		1298	To prohibit autoloading of extensions, you can prefix them with C</>,
		1299	which will make urxvt refuse to automatically load them (this can be
		1300	overriden, however, by specifying the extension name again without a
		1301	prefix, though). This does not prohibit extensions themselves loading
		1302	other extensions. For example, C<default,/background> will keep the
		1303	C<background> extension from being loaded when a background OSC sequence
		1304	is received.

		1606	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1607
		1608	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1609	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1610
		1611	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1612	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1613	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1614	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1615	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1616	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1617	all ways to specify a colour.
		1618
		1619	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1620	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1621	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1622	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1623	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1624	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1625	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1626
		1627	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1628	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1629	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1630	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1631
		1632	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1633	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1634
		1635	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1636
		1637	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1638	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1639	transparency of course).
		1640
		1641	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1642	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1643	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1644	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1645	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1646	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1647
		1648	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1649	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1650	extension.
