150used to brighten or darken the image in addition to tinting it.
151Please note that certain tint colours can be applied on the server-side,

153blue, red, green, cyan, magenta, yellow, and those close to them. Also

1150any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1052C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1153B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1055extension might provide.
1056
1057The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1058
1059 (modifiers-)key
1060
1061Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1062B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1063B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,

1158current application keymap mode state. 1069current application keymap mode state.
1159 1070
1160The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1071Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1161searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1072match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1073key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1074defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1075C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1076themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1077this when this is a problem.
1078
1079The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1080find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1081looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1162omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1082the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1163keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1083value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1164performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1165 1084
1166I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1085As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1086escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1167number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1087number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1168 1088
1169You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1089An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1170with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1090of action, followed by a colon. An action strings without colons is
1171should be a character not used by the strings. 1091interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if they were
1092prefixed with C<string:>).
1172 1093
1173Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1094The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1095additional prefixes:
1174 1096
1175 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|> 1097=over 4
1176 1098
1177The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1099=item string:STRING
1178 1100
1179 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> 1101If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1180 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b> 1102then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1181 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c> 1103terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1104string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1182 1105
1106 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1107
1108This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1109
1110=item command:STRING

1183If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING> 1112If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>

1114the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1115in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1116most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
1117
1185example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK> 1118For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>

1192manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1125font-switching at runtime:
1193C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1194 1126
1195 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1127 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1128 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1196 1129
1197Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1130Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1198will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1131info):
1199no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1200means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1201definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1202mappings themselves.
1203 1132
1204Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1133 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1134 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1135
1136=item builtin:
1137
1138The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1139key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1140the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1141bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1142
1205if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1143For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1206C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1144@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1207user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1145"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:

1212The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination 1150The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1213of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1151of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1214C<Shift-Insert>. 1152C<Shift-Insert>.
1215 1153
1216The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1154=item builtin-string:
1217the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1218font-switching at runtime:
1219 1155
1220 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1156This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1221 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1157have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1158difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1159application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1160action for it.
1222 1161
1223Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1162An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1224info): 1163selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1164would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1165terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1225 1166
1226 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1167 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1227 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1168 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1169
1170The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1171combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1172C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1173
1174Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1175clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1176this:
1177
1178 URxvt.keysym.C-S-c: builtin-string:
1179 URxvt.keysym.C-S-v: builtin-string:
1180
1181=item EXTENSION:STRING

1184extension of the same name. The extension will be loaded automatically if
1185neccessary.
1186
1187Not all extensions define key actions, but popular extensions that do
1188include the I<selection> and I<matcher> extensions (documented in their
1189own manpages, @@RXVT_NAME@@-selection(1) and @@RXVT_NAME@@-matcher(1),
1190respectively).
