414
415Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
416which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
417
418Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
419shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
420quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
421create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
422
423The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
424
425It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
426descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
427can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
428terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
429not.
430
431Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
432used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
433
434 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
435 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
436 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
437 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";

441
442Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
443pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
444useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
445without having to run a program within it.
446
447If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
448entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
449yourself if you want that.
450
451As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
452pty/tty operations.
453
454Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
455longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
456
457 use IO::Pty;
458 use Fcntl;
459
460 my $pty = new IO::Pty;

1001B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1002
1003The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1004whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1005keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1006current application keymap mode state.
1007
1008The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
1009searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
1010omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
1011keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
1012performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1013
1014I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace,
1015C<\e>, C<\E>: escape, C<\n>: newline, C<\r>: carriage return, C<\t>: tab,

803omitted. This resource is only available when compiled with 1019
804KEYSYM_RESOURCE. 1020Please note that you need to double the C<\> when using
1021C<--enable-xgetdefault>, as X itself does it's own de-escaping (you can
1022use C<\033> instead of C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and
1023@@RXVT_NAME@@'s own processing).
1024
1025You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
1026with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/'
1027should be a character not used by the strings.
1028
1029Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1030
1031 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
1032
1033The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1034
1035 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
1036 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
1037 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
1038
1039If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1040is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
1041example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1042when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1043
1044 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1045
1046If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1047is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1048manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1049C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1050
1051 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1052
1053Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1054will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1055no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1056means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1057definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1058mappings themselves.
1059
1060Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1061if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1062C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1063user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1064
1065 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1066 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1067
1068The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1069of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1070C<Shift-Insert>.
1071
1072The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1073the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1074font-switching at runtime:
1075
1076 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1077 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1078
1079Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1080info):
1081
1082 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

1091
1092Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1093it. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1094by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1095example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1096C<selection>.
1097
1098Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1099necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.

1101If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
