460which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
461
462Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
463shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
464quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
465create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
466
467The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
468
469It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
470descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
471can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
472terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
473not.
474
475Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
476used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
477
478 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
479 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {

485
486Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
487pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
488useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
489without having to run a program within it.
490
491If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
492entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
493yourself if you want that.
494
495As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
496pty/tty operations.
497
498Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
499longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
500
501 use IO::Pty;
502 use Fcntl;
503
504 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
505 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec

508
509 # now communicate with rxvt

807omitted. This resource is only available when compiled with 1075
808KEYSYM_RESOURCE. 1076The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be
1077any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>,
1078B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>,
1079and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>, B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>,
1080B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1081
1082The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1083whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1084keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1085current application keymap mode state.
1086
1087The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
1088searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
1089omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
1090keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
1091performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1092
1093I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
1094number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details.
1095
1096You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
1097with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
1098should be a character not used by the strings.
1099
1100Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1101
1102 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
1103
1104The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1105
1106 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
1107 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
1108 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
1109
1110If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1111is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
1112example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1113when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1114
1115 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1116
1117If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1118is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1119manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1120C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1121
1122 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1123
1124Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1125will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1126no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1127means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1128definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1129mappings themselves.
1130
1131Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1132if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1133C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1134user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1135
1136 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1137 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1138
1139The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1140of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1141C<Shift-Insert>.
1142
1143The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1144the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1145font-switching at runtime:
1146
1147 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1148 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1149
1150Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1151info):
1152
1153 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

1159
1160Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: C<default>) to
1161use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>.
1162
1163Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1164them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1165by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1166example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1167C<selection>.
1168
1169Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1170(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1171searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1172multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1173the extension.
1174
1175Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1176necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
1177
1178If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1179interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that
1180B<perl-ext-common> will be used for extensions that should be available to
1181all instances, while B<perl-ext> is used for specific instances.

1438
1439If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1440their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa>
1441(recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1442in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1443specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely
1444transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where
1445C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of
1446the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy
1447opaque.
1448
1449You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that
1450your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1451ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
1452
1453For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
1454background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
