		1081
		1082	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		1083	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and

		1085	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		1086	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1087
		1088	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace,

		1095	Please note that you need to double the C<\> in resource files, as

		1097	C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own
		1098	processing).
		1099
		1100	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1101	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1102	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1103
		1104	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1105
		1106	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list\|\033<M-C-\|abc\|>
		1107
		1108	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1109
		1110	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		1111	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		1112	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		1113
		1114	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1115	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1116	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1117	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1118
		1119	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1120
		1121	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1122	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1123	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1124	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1125
		1126	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1127
		1128	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1129	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1130	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1131	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1132	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1133	mappings themselves.
		1134
		1135	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1136	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1137	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1138	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1139
		1140	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1141	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1142
		1143	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1144	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1145	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1146
		1147	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1148	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1149	font-switching at runtime:
		1150
		1151	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1152	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1153
		1154	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1155	info):
		1156
		1157	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1165	use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>.
		1166
		1167	Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
		1168	them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
		1169	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1170	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1171	C<selection>.
		1172
		1173	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1174	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
		1175	searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension

		1182	If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
