477Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
478shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
479quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to

483
484It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
485descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you

501Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
502pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
503useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
504without having to run a program within it.
505
506If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
507entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
508yourself if you want that.
509
510As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
511pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
512perl extension that manages the terminal.
513
514Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
515longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
516
517 use IO::Pty;
518 use Fcntl;

520 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
521 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec

828omitted. This resource is only available when compiled with 1103
829KEYSYM_RESOURCE. 1104The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be
1105any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>,
1106B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>,
1107and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>, B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>,
1108B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1109
1110The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1111whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1112keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1113current application keymap mode state.
1114
1115The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
1116searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
1117omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
1118keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
1119performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1120
1121I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
1122number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details.
1123
1124You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
1125with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
1126should be a character not used by the strings.
1127
1128Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1129
1130 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
1131
1132The 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
1138If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1139is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
1140example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1141when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1142
1143 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1144
1145If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1146is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1147manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1148C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1149
1150 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1151
1152Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1153will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1154no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1155means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1156definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1157mappings themselves.
1158
1159Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1160if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1161C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1162user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1163
1164 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1165 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1166
1167The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1168of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1169C<Shift-Insert>.
1170
1171The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1172the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1173font-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
1178Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1179info):
1180
1181 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

1187
1188Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: C<default>) to
1189use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>.
1190
1191Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1192them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1193by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1194example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1195C<selection>.
1196
1197Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1198(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1199searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1200multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1201the extension.
1202
1203Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1204necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
1205
1206If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1207interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that
1208B<perl-ext-common> will be used for extensions that should be available to
1209all instances, while B<perl-ext> is used for specific instances.

1466
1467If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1468their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa>
1469(recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
1470in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
1471specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely
1472transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where
1473C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of
1474the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy
1475opaque.
1476
1477You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that
1478your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
1479ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.

1482background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
