749
750Use the specified image file for the background and also
751optionally specify its scaling with a geometry string B<WxH+X+Y>,
752(default C<100x100+50+50>) in which B<"W" / "H"> specify the
753horizontal/vertical scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image
754centre (percent). A scale of 0 disables scaling.
755The maximum permitted scale is 1000.
756Additional operations can be specified after colon B<:op1:op2...>.
757Supported operations are:
758
759 op=tile enables tiling
760 op=pscale enables proportional scaling
761 op=root use the position of the terminal window relative to the root
762 window as the image offset, simulating a root window background
763
764Alternatively, a predefined set of templates can be used to achieve
765the most common setups:
766
767 style=tiled the image is tiled with no scaling
768 style=aspect-stretched the image is scaled to fill the whole window maintaining
769 the aspect ratio and centered
770 style=stretched the image is scaled to fill the whole window
771 style=centered the image is centered with no scaling
772 style=root-tiled the image is tiled with no scaling and using 'op=root' positioning
773
774If multiple templates are specified the last one wins. Note that a
775template overrides all the scale, position and operations settings.
776Indeed, the templates can be specified in terms of low level settings
777as follows:
778
779 style=tiled 0x0+0+0:op=tile
780 style=aspect-stretched +50+50:op=pscale
781 style=stretched 100x100
782 style=centered 0x0+50+50
783 style=root-tiled 0x0:op=tile:op=root
784
785If used in conjunction with B<-tr> option, the specified pixmap will be
786blended over the transparent background using alpha-blending. If I<afterimage>
787support has been compiled in it is possible to choose other blending
788types with B<-blt "type"> option.

1163 1050
1164The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1051Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1165any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1052C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different
1166B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>, B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, 1053string than would normally result from that combination, making the

1168B<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>,
1064B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1169 1065
1170The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1066The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to

1172keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1068keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1173current application keymap mode state. 1069current application keymap mode state.
1174 1070
1175The 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
1176searching 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
1177omitting 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
1178keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1083value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1179performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1180 1084
1181I<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
1182number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1087number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1183 1088
1089An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1090of action, followed by a colon. An action strings without colons is
1091interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if they were
1092prefixed with C<string:>).
1093
1094The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1095additional prefixes:
1096
1097=over 4
1098
1099=item string:STRING
1100
1101If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1102then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1103terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1104string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
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
1111
1112If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1113is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
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
1118For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1119when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1120
1121 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1122
1123The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1124the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1125font-switching at runtime:
1126
1127 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1128 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1129
1130Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1131info):
1132
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
1143For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1144@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1145"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1146
1147 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1148 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1149
1150The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1151of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1152C<Shift-Insert>.
1153
1154=item builtin-string:
1155
1156This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
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.
1161
1162An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
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:
1166
1167 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
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 cna do
1176this:
1177
1178 URxvt.keysym.C-S-c: builtin-string:
1179 URxvt.keysym.C-S-v: builtin-string:
1180
1181=item EXTENSION:STRING
1182
1183An action of this form passes the B<STRING> to the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
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).
1191
1192From the silly examples department, this will rot13-"encrypt"
1193@@RXVT_NAME@@'s selection when Alt-Control-c is pressed on typical PC
1194keyboards:
1195
1196 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: selection:rot13
1197
1198=item perl:STRING
1199
1200This is a deprecated way of passing key mappings to perl extensions. It is
1201still supported, but should not be used anymore.
1202
1203=back
1204
1184You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1205In addition, you can define a range of keysyms in one shot by loading
1206the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> with pattern
1185with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1207B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' should be a
1186should be a character not used by the strings. 1208character not used by the strings.
1187 1209
1188Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1210Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1189 1211
1190 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1212 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1191 1213
1192The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1214The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1193 1215
1194 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a> 1216 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a>

1197
1198If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
1199is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
1200example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
1201when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
1202
1203 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
1204
1205If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1206is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1207manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1208C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1209
1210 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1211
1212Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1213will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1214no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1215means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1216definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1217mappings themselves.
1218
1219Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1220if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1221C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1222user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1223
1224 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1225 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1226
1227The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1228of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1229C<Shift-Insert>.
1230
1231The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
1232the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1233font-switching at runtime:
1234
1235 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1236 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1237
1238Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1239info):
