		471	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		472
		473	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		474
		475	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file

		477	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		478	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		479	not.
		480
		481	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		482	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		483
		484	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;

		495	without having to run a program within it.
		496
		497	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		498	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		499	yourself if you want that.
		500
		501	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		502	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		503	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		504
		505	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a

		1080
		1081	The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
		1082
		1083	(modifiers-)key
		1084
		1085	Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
		1086	B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
		1087	B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
		1088	B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1089
		1090	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1091	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1092	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1093	current application keymap mode state.
		1094
		1095	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
		1096	match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
		1097	key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
		1098	defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
		1099	C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
		1100	themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
		1101	this when this is a problem.
		1102
		1103	The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
		1104	find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
		1105	looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
		1106	the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
		1107	value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
		1108
		1109	As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
		1110	escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
		1111	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
		1112
		1113	An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
		1114	of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
		1115	interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
		1116	prefixed with C<string:>).
		1117
		1118	The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
		1119	additional prefixes:
		1120
		1121	=over 4
		1122
		1123	=item string:STRING
		1124
		1125	If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
		1126	then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
		1127	terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
		1128	string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
		1129
		1130	URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
		1131
		1132	This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
		1133
		1134	In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
		1135	keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
		1136	providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
		1137	the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
		1138
		1139	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1140
		1141	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
		1142
		1143	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1144
		1145	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
		1146	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>
		1147	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: string:\033<c>
		1148
		1149	=item command:STRING
		1150
		1151	If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1152	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
		1153	the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
		1154	in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
		1155	most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
		1156
		1157	For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1158	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1159
		1160	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1161
		1162	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1163	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1164	font-switching at runtime:
		1165
		1166	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1167	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1168
		1169	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1170	info):
		1171
		1172	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
		1173	URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
		1174
		1175	=item builtin:
		1176
		1177	The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
		1178	key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
		1179	the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
		1180	bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
		1181
		1182	For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
		1183	@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
		1184	"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1185
		1186	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1187	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1188
		1189	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1190	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1191	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1192
		1193	=item builtin-string:
		1194
		1195	This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
		1196	have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
		1197	difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
		1198	application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
		1199	action for it.
		1200
		1201	An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
		1202	selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
		1203	would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
		1204	terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
		1205
		1206	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
		1207	URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
		1208
		1209	The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
		1210	combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
		1211	C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
		1212
		1213	Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
		1214	clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
		1215	this:
		1216
		1217	URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
		1218	URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
		1219
		1220	=item EXTENSION:STRING
		1221
		1222	An action of this form invokes the action B<STRING>, if any, provided
		1223	by the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) extension B<EXTENSION>. The extension will
		1224	be loaded automatically if necessary.
		1225
		1226	Not all extensions define actions, but popular extensions that do
		1227	include the I<selection> and I<matcher> extensions (documented in their
		1228	own manpages, @@RXVT_NAME@@-selection(1) and @@RXVT_NAME@@-matcher(1),
		1229	respectively).
		1230
		1231	From the silly examples department, this will rot13-"encrypt"

		1252	them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
		1253	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1254	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extensions except
		1255	C<selection>.
		1256
		1257	The default set includes the C<selection>, C<option-popup>,
		1258	C<selection-popup>, C<readline> and C<searchable-scrollback>
		1259	extensions, and extensions which are mentioned in B<keysym> resources.
		1260
		1261	Any extension such that a corresponding resource is given on the

		1268
		1269	If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl interpreter

		1634
		1635	The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
		1636

		1638	index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5

		1657
		1658	would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black on
		1659	White.
		1660
		1661	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1662
		1663	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1664	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1665
		1666	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1667	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1668	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1669	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1670	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1671	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1672	all ways to specify a colour.
		1673
		1674	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1675	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1676	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1677	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1678	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1679	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1680	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1681
		1682	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1683	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1684	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1685	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1686
		1687	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1688	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1689
		1690	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1691
		1692	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1693	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1694	transparency of course).
		1695
		1696	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1697	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1698	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1699	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1700	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1701	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1702
		1703	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1704	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1705	extension.
