		432	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		433	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		434	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		435
		436	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		437
		438	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		439	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		440	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		441	terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
		442	not.
		443
		444	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		445	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		446
		447	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		448	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		449	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
		450	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";

		454
		455	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		456	pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
		457	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		458	without having to run a program within it.
		459
		460	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		461	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		462	yourself if you want that.
		463
		464	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		465	pty/tty operations.
		466
		467	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a

		472

824	KEYSYM_RESOURCE.	1032	Please note that you need to double the C<\> in resource files, as
		1033	Xlib itself does it's own de-escaping (you can use C<\033> instead of
		1034	C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own
		1035	processing).
		1036
		1037	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1038	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/'
		1039	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1040
		1041	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1042
		1043	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list\|\033<M-C-\|abc\|>
		1044
		1045	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1046
		1047	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		1048	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		1049	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		1050
		1051	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1052	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1053	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1054	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1055
		1056	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1057
		1058	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1059	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1060	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1061	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1062
		1063	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1064
		1065	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1066	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1067	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1068	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1069	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1070	mappings themselves.
		1071
		1072	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1073	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1074	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1075	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1076
		1077	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1078	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1079
		1080	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1081	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1082	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1083
		1084	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1085	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1086	font-switching at runtime:
		1087
		1088	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1089	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1090
		1091	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1092	info):
		1093
		1094	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1102	use in this terminal instance; option B<-pe>.
		1103
		1104	Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
		1105	them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
		1106	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1107	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1108	C<selection>.
		1109
		1110	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1111	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
		1112	searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
