419
420Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
421which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
422
423Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
424shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
425quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
426create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
427
428The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
429
430It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
431descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
432can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
433terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
434not.
435
436Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
437used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
438
439 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
440 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
441 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
442 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";

446
447Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
448pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
449useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
450without having to run a program within it.
451
452If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
453entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
454yourself if you want that.
455
456As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
457pty/tty operations.
458
459Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
460longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
461
462 use IO::Pty;
463 use Fcntl;
464
465 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
466 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec

1000keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1001current application keymap mode state.
1002
1003The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
1004searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
1005omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
1006keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
1007performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1008

803omitted. This resource is only available when compiled with 1014
804KEYSYM_RESOURCE. 1015Please note that you need to double the C<\> in resource files, as
1016Xlib itself does it's own de-escaping (you can use C<\033> instead of
1017C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own
1018processing).
1019
1020You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
1021with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/'
1022should be a character not used by the strings.
1023
1024Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1025
1026 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
1027
1028The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1029
1030 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
1031 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
1032 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
1033
1034If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1035is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
1036example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1037when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1038
1039 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1040
1041If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1042is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1043manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1044C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1045
1046 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1047
1048Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1049will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1050no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1051means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1052definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1053mappings themselves.
1054
1055Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1056if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1057C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1058user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1059
1060 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1061 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1062
1063The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1064of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1065C<Shift-Insert>.
1066
1067The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1068the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1069font-switching at runtime:
1070
1071 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1072 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1073
1074Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1075info):
1076
1077 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

1084Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: C<default>) to
1085use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>.
1086
1087Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1088them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1089by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1090example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1091C<selection>.
1092
1093Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1094(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1095searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1096multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1097the extension.
1098
1099Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1100necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
1101
1102If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1103interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that
1104B<perl-ext-common> will be used for extensions that should be available to
1105all instances, while B<perl-ext> is used for specific instances.
