763of 1 displays the image without any scaling. A scale of 2 to 9 specifies
764an integer number of images in that direction. No image will be magnified

1140
1141The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1142
1143 (modifiers-)key
1144
1145Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of the following full or
1146abbreviated modifier names:

1158whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1166whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1159keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1167keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1160current application keymap mode state. 1168current application keymap mode state.
1161 1169
1162The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1170Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1163searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1171match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1172key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1173defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1174C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1175themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1176this when this is a problem.
1177
1178The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1179find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1180looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1164omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1181the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1165keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1182value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1166performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1167 1183
1168I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1184As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1185escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1169number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details. 1186number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1170 1187
1171You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1188An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1172with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1189of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1190interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1191prefixed with C<string:>).
1192
1193The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1194additional prefixes:
1195
1196=over
1197
1198=item string:STRING
1199
1200If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1201then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1202terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1203string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1204
1205 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1206
1207This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1208
1209In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1210keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1211providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1173should be a character not used by the strings. 1212the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1174 1213
1175Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1214Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1176 1215
1177 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1216 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1178 1217
1179The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1218The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1180 1219

1185If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1226If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1186is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1227is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1228the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1229in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1230most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1231
1187example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1232For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>

1192If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING> 1237The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1193is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1238the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1194manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1239font-switching at runtime:
1195C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1196 1240
1197 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1241 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1242 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1198 1243
1199Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1244Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1200will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1245info):
1201no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1202means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1203definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1204mappings themselves.
1205 1246
1206Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1247 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1248 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1249
1250=item builtin:
1251
1252The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1253key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1254the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1255bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1256
1207if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1257For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1208C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1258@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1209user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1259"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1210 1260

1223 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1271have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1272difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1273application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1274action for it.
1224 1275
1225Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1276An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1226info): 1277selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1278would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1279terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1227 1280
1228 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1281 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:

1283
1284The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1285combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1286C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1287
1288Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1289clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1290this:
1291
