		1150	=item builtin:
		1151
		1152	The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
		1153	key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
		1154	the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
		1155	bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
		1156
		1157	For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
		1158	@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
		1159	"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1160
		1161	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1162	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1163
		1164	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1165	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1166	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1167
		1168	=item builtin-string:
		1169
		1170	This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
		1171	have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
		1172	difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
		1173	application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
		1174	action for it.
		1175
		1176	An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
		1177	selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
		1178	would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
		1179	terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
		1180
		1181	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
		1182	URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
		1183
		1184	The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
		1185	combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
		1186	C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
		1187
		1188	Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
		1189	clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
		1190	this:
		1191
		1192	URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
		1193	URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:

		1608	The following text gives values for the standard 88 colour mode (and
		1609	values for the 256 colour mode in parentheses).
		1610
		1611	The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
		1612
		1613	index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3
		1614	index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5
		1615
		1616	The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
		1617	steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of
		1618	the RGB cube.
		1619
		1620	Together, all those colours implement the 88 (256) colour xterm
		1621	colours. Only the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the
		1622	rest can only be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").
		1623
		1624	Applications are advised to use terminfo or command sequences to discover
		1625	number and RGB values of all colours (yes, you can query this...).

		1632	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fg Black -bg White -rv
		1633
		1634	would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black on
		1635	White.
		1636
		1637	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1638
		1639	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1640	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1641
		1642	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1643	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1644	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1645	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1646	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1647	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1648	all ways to specify a colour.
		1649
		1650	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1651	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1652	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1653	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1654	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1655	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1656	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1657
		1658	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1659	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1660	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1661	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1662
		1663	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1664	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1665
		1666	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1667
		1668	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1669	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1670	transparency of course).
		1671
		1672	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1673	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1674	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1675	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1676	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1677	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1678
		1679	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1680	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1681	extension.
