		393	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		394	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		395	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		396
		397	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		398
		399	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file

		403	not.
		404
		405	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be

		408	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;

		416	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty

		419	without having to run a program within it.
		420
		421	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		422	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		423	yourself if you want that.
		424

		951
		952	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		953	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
		954	omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
		955	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		956	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		957
		958	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace,

		965	C<--enable-xgetdefault>, as X itself does it's own de-escaping (you can
		966	use C<\033> instead of C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and
		967	@@RXVT_NAME@@'s own processing).
		968
		969	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		970	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/'
		971	should be a character not used by the strings.
		972
		973	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		974
		975	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list\|\033<M-C-\|abc\|>
		976
		977	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		978
		979	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		980	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		981	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		982
		983	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		984	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		985	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		986	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		987
		988	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		989
		990	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		991	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		992	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		993	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		994	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		995	mappings themselves.
		996
		997	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		998	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		999	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1000	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1001
		1002	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1003	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1004
		1005	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1006	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1007	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1008
		1009	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1010	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1011	font-switching at runtime:
		1012
		1013	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1014	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1015
		1016	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1017	info):
		1018
		1019	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
