1026The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1085Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1027searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1086match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1087key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1088defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1089C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1090themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1091this when this is a problem.
1092
1093The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1094find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1095looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1028omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1096the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym

1031 1098
1032I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace, 1099As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1033C<\e>, C<\E>: escape, C<\n>: newline, C<\r>: carriage return, C<\t>: tab, 1100escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1034C<\000>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (C<^?>: delete, 1101number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1035C<^@>: null, C<^A> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it
1036can start or end with whitespace. B<This feature is deprecated and will
1037be removed>.
1038 1102
1039Please note that you need to double the C<\> in resource files, as 1103An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1040Xlib itself does its own de-escaping (you can use C<\033> instead of 1104of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1041C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and @@RXVT_NAME@@'s own 1105interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1042processing). 1106prefixed with C<string:>).
1043 1107
1044You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1108The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1045with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1109additional prefixes:
1046should be a character not used by the strings.
1047 1110
1048Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1111=over 4
1049 1112
1050 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1113=item string:STRING
1051 1114
1052The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1115If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1116then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1117terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1118string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1053 1119
1054 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> 1120 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1055 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
1056 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
1057 1121
1122This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1123
1124=item command:STRING
1125
1058If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1126If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1059is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For 1127is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
1128the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1129in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1130most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1131
1060example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1132For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1061when Control-Meta-c is being pressed": 1133when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":

1066is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1138the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1067manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1139font-switching at runtime:
1068C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1069 1140
1070 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1141 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1142 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1071 1143
1072Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1144Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1073will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1145info):
1074no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1075means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1076definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1077mappings themselves.
1078 1146
1079Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1147 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1148 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1149
1150=item builtin:
1151
1152The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1153key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1154the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1155bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1156
1080if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1157For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1081C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1158@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1082user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1159"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1083 1160
1084 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1161 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1085 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1162 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:

1087The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1164The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1088of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1165of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1089C<Shift-Insert>. 1166C<Shift-Insert>.
1090 1167
1091The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1168=item builtin-string:
1092the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1093font-switching at runtime:
1094 1169
1095 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1170This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1096 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1171have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1172difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1173application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1174action for it.
1097 1175
1098Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1176An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1099info): 1177selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1178would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1179terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1100 1180
1101 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1181 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1102 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1182 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1183
1184The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1185combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1186C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1187
1188Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1189clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1190this:
1191
1192 URxvt.keysym.C-S-c: builtin-string:
1193 URxvt.keysym.C-S-v: builtin-string:

1195=item EXTENSION:STRING

1198extension of the same name. The extension will be loaded automatically if
