985 | The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or |
1153 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will |
986 | searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and |
1154 | match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other |
|
|
1155 | key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that |
|
|
1156 | defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for |
|
|
1157 | C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings |
|
|
1158 | themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around |
|
|
1159 | this when this is a problem. |
|
|
1160 | |
|
|
1161 | The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to |
|
|
1162 | find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by |
|
|
1163 | looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit |
987 | omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex |
1164 | the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym |
988 | keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not |
1165 | value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). |
989 | performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured. |
|
|
990 | |
1166 | |
991 | I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace, |
1167 | As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash |
992 | C<\e>, C<\E>: escape, C<\n>: newline, C<\r>: carriage return, C<\t>: tab, |
1168 | escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal |
993 | C<\000>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (C<^?>: delete, |
1169 | number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. |
994 | C<^@>: null, C<^A> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it |

997 | Please note that you need to double the C<\> when using |
1171 | An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type |

1000 | @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own processing). |
1174 | prefixed with C<string:>). |
1001 | |
1175 | |
1002 | You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
1176 | The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide |
1003 | with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/' |

|
|
1180 | |
|
|
1181 | =item string:STRING |
|
|
1182 | |
|
|
1183 | If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons), |
|
|
1184 | then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the |
|
|
1185 | terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the |
|
|
1186 | string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline: |
|
|
1187 | |
|
|
1188 | URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n |
|
|
1189 | |
|
|
1190 | This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap. |
|
|
1191 | |
|
|
1192 | In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of |
|
|
1193 | keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and |
|
|
1194 | providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where |
1004 | should be a character not used by the strings. |
1195 | the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings. |

1022 | |
1219 | |
1023 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping |
1220 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
1024 | will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and |
1221 | the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
1025 | no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That |
1222 | font-switching at runtime: |
1026 | means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide |
|
|
1027 | definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined |
|
|
1028 | mappings themselves. |
|
|
1029 | |
1223 | |
1030 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |

1255 | difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the |

1271 | Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to |

1309 | Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to remove them again, in |

1311 | disable some extensions loaded by default, or specified via the |
|

1312 | C<perl-ext-common> resource. For example, C<default,-selection> will use |

|
1313 | all the default extensions except C<selection>. |
|
|
1314 | |
|
|
1315 | To prohibit autoloading of extensions, you can prefix them with C</>, |

|
|
1317 | overriden, however, by specifying the extension name again without a |
|
|
1318 | prefix, though). This does not prohibit extensions themselves loading |
|
|
1319 | other extensions. For example, C<default,/background> will keep the |

1320 | C<background> extension from being loaded when a background OSC sequence |
|

1321 | is received. |
|

|
|
1558 | colour mode) or 6x6x4 (88 colour mode) colour cube is used to index into the |
|

1559 | 24-bit colour space. When indexing collisions happen, the nearest old colour in |
|
|
1560 | the cube will be adapted to the new 24-bit RGB colour. That means one cannot |
|

1561 | use many similar 24-bit colours. It's typically not a problem in common |
|

|
|
1598 | |
|
|
1599 | index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3 |

1623 | =head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT |
|
|
1624 | |
|
|
1625 | If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get |
|
|
1626 | their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management: |
|
|
1627 | |
|
|
1628 | You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in |
|
|
1629 | brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage |
|
|
1630 | (0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely |
|
|
1631 | transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a |
|
|
1632 | half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This |
|
|
1633 | is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with |
|
|
1634 | all ways to specify a colour. |
|
|
1635 | |
|
|
1636 | For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports |
|
|
1637 | C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour |
|
|
1638 | specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity |
|
|
1639 | (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent, |
|
|
1640 | while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from |
|
|
1641 | earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and |
|
|
1642 | C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>. |
|
|
1643 | |
|
|
1644 | You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with |
|
|
1645 | alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel |
|
|
1646 | layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and |
|
|
1647 | rxvt-unicode just fudges around. |
|
|
1648 | |
|
|
1649 | For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black |
|
|
1650 | background, and an almost opaque pink foreground: |
|
|
1651 | |
|
|
1652 | @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink" |
|
|
1653 | |
|
|
1654 | When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the |
|
|
1655 | alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as |
|
|
1656 | transparency of course). |
|
|
1657 | |
|
|
1658 | When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background |
|
|
1659 | colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the |
|
|
1660 | background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while |
|
|
1661 | other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background |
|
|
1662 | image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or |
|
|
1663 | fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION. |
|
|
1664 | |
|
|
1665 | Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result |
|
|
1666 | in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER |
|
|
1667 | extension. |
