		459
		460	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		461	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		462	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		463	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		464
		465	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		466
		467	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		468	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		469	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		470	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		471	not.
		472
		473	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		474	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		475
		476	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		477	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		478	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		483
		484	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		485	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		486	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		487	without having to run a program within it.
		488
		489	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		490	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		491	yourself if you want that.
		492
		493	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		494	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		495	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		496
		497	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		498	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):

		500	use IO::Pty;

		502

855	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\e<M-C-|abc|>	1102	=over 4
856		1103

858		1105
859	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \e<M-C-a>	1106	If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
860	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \e<M-C-b>	1107	then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
861	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \e<M-C-c>	1108	terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
		1109	string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
862		1110
		1111	URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
		1112
		1113	This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.

866	C<zh_CN.GBK>.	1120	in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
		1121	most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
		1122
		1123	For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1124	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1125
		1126	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1127
		1128	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1129	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited

		1133	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1134
		1135	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1136	info):
		1137
		1138	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1147
		1148	For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable

		1159	=item builtin-string:
		1160
		1161	This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
		1162	have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
		1163	difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
		1164	application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
		1165	action for it.
		1166
		1167	An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
		1168	selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
		1169	would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
		1170	terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
		1171
		1172	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
		1173	URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
		1174
		1175	The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
		1176	combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
		1177	C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
		1178
		1179	Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
		1180	clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
		1181	this:
		1182
		1183	URxvt.keysym.C-S-c: builtin-string:
		1184	URxvt.keysym.C-S-v: builtin-string:
		1185
		1186	=item EXTENSION:STRING
		1187
		1188	An action of this form passes the B<STRING> to the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1189	extension of the same name. The extension will be loaded automatically if
		1190	necessary.
		1191
		1192	Not all extensions define key actions, but popular extensions that do

		1215	use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>.
		1216
		1217	Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
		1218	them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
		1219	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1220	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extensions except
		1221	C<selection>.
		1222
		1223	The default set includes the C<selection>, C<option-popup>,
		1224	C<selection-popup> and C<readline> extensions, any extensions that define
		1225	keybindings via C<BINDING> meta comments, extensions loaded because
		1226	their resources/commandline switches were used, and extensions which are
		1227	mentioned in B<keysym> resources.
		1228
		1229	Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
		1230	necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. When the library
		1231	search path contains multiple extension files of the same name, then the
		1232	first one found will be used.
		1233
		1234	If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl interpreter
		1235	will not be initialized. The rationale for having two options is that

		1598	values for the 256 colour mode in parentheses).
		1599
		1600	The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
		1601
		1602	index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3
		1603	index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5
		1604
		1605	The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
		1606	steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of
		1607	the RGB cube.
		1608
		1609	Together, all those colours implement the 88 (256) colour xterm
		1610	colours. Only the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the
		1611	rest can only be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").
		1612
		1613	Applications are advised to use terminfo or command sequences to discover

		1621	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fg Black -bg White -rv
		1622
		1623	would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black on
		1624	White.
		1625
		1626	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1627
		1628	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1629	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1630
		1631	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1632	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1633	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1634	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1635	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1636	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1637	all ways to specify a colour.
		1638
		1639	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1640	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1641	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1642	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1643	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1644	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1645	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1646
		1647	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1648	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1649	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1650	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1651
		1652	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1653	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1654
		1655	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1656
		1657	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1658	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1659	transparency of course).
		1660
		1661	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1662	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1663	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1664	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1665	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1666	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1667
		1668	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1669	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1670	extension.
