		474	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window,

		476
		477	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		478	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		479	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		480	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		481
		482	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		483
		484	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		485	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		486	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		487	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		488	not.
		489
		490	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		491	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		492
		493	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		494	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		495	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		497	});
		498
		499	=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
		500
		501	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		502	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		503	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		504	without having to run a program within it.
		505
		506	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		507	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		508	yourself if you want that.
		509
		510	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		511	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		512	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		513
		514	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		515	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):

		517	use IO::Pty;

		519

		1108	B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1109
		1110	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1111	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1112	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1113	current application keymap mode state.
		1114
		1115	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		1116	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
		1117	omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
		1118	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		1119	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1120
		1121	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
		1122	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details.
		1123
		1124	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1125	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1126	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1127
		1128	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1129
		1130	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list\|\033<M-C-\|abc\|>
		1131
		1132	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1133
		1134	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		1135	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		1136	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		1137
		1138	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1139	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1140	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1141	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1142
		1143	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1144
		1145	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1146	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1147	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1148	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1149
		1150	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1151
		1152	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1153	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1154	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1155	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1156	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1157	mappings themselves.
		1158
		1159	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1160	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1161	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1162	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1163
		1164	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1165	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1166
		1167	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1168	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1169	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1170
		1171	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1172	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1173	font-switching at runtime:
		1174
		1175	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1176	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1177
		1178	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1179	info):
		1180
		1181	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1190
		1191	Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
		1192	them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
		1193	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1194	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1195	C<selection>.
		1196
		1197	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1198	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
		1199	searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
