		435	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		436
		437	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		438
		439	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file

		441	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the

		443	not.
		444
		445	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		446	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		447
		448	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		449	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {

		455
		456	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		457	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		458	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		459	without having to run a program within it.
		460
		461	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		462	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		463	yourself if you want that.
		464
		465	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress

		1065	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1066	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1067	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1068	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1069
		1070	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13

		1072	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1073	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1074	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That

		1076	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1077	mappings themselves.
		1078
		1079	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1080	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1081	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1082	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1083
		1084	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1085	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1086
		1087	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1088	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1089	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1090
		1091	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1092	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1093	font-switching at runtime:

		1382
		1383	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1384	their act together, rxvt-unicode will support C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa>
		1385	(recommended, but B<MUST> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
		1386	in addition to the ones provided by X, where the additional A component
		1387	specifies opacity (alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0> is completely
		1388	transparent). You can also prefix any color with C<[percent]>, where
		1389	C<percent> is a decimal percentage (0-100) that specifies the opacity of
		1390	the color, where C<0> is completely transparent and C<100> is completelxy
		1391	opaque.
		1392
		1393	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, and have the luck that
		1394	your X-server uses ARGB pixel layout, as X is far from just supporting
		1395	ARGB visuals out of the box, and rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1396
		1397	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent red
		1398	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1399
		1400	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/aaaa -fg "[80]pink"
