865 | |
|
|
866 | The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be |
|
|
867 | any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, |
|
|
868 | B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, |

869 | and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>, B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, |
|
|
870 | B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. |
|
|
871 | |
|
|
872 | The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to |
|
|
873 | whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr |
|
|
874 | keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the |
|
|
875 | current application keymap mode state. |
|
|
876 | |
|
|
877 | The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or |
|
|
878 | searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and |
|
|
879 | omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex |
|
|
880 | keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not |
|
|
881 | performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured. |
|
|
882 | |
|
|
883 | I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace, |
|
|
884 | C<\e>, C<\E>: escape, C<\n>: newline, C<\r>: carriage return, C<\t>: tab, |
800 | tab, \000: octal number) or control characters (^?: delete, ^@: null, |
885 | C<\000>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (C<^?>: delete, |
801 | ^A ...) and may enclosed with double quotes so that it can start or end |
886 | C<^@>: null, C<^A> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it |
802 | with whitespace. The intervening resource name B<keysym.> cannot be |

803 | omitted. This resource is only available when compiled with |
888 | |
804 | KEYSYM_RESOURCE. |
889 | Please note that you need to double the C<\> when using |
|
|
890 | C<--enable-xgetdefault>, as X itself does it's own de-escaping (you can |
|
|
891 | use C<\033> instead of C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and |
|
|
892 | @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own processing). |
|
|
893 | |
|
|
894 | You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> |
|
|
895 | with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/' |
|
|
896 | should be a character not used by the strings. |
|
|
897 | |
|
|
898 | Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: |
|
|
899 | |
|
|
900 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> |
|
|
901 | |
|
|
902 | The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: |
|
|
903 | |
|
|
904 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> |
|
|
905 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b> |
|
|
906 | URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c> |
|
|
907 | |
|
|
908 | If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> |
|
|
909 | is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For |
|
|
910 | example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> |
|
|
911 | when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |
|
|
912 | |
|
|
913 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007 |
|
|
914 | |
|
|
915 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
|
|
916 | the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited |
|
|
917 | font-switching at runtime: |
|
|
918 | |
|
|
919 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
|
|
920 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
|
|
921 | |
|
|
922 | Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more |
|
|
