748=item B<backgroundPixmap:> I<file[;oplist]>
749
750Use the specified image file for the background and also
751optionally specify a colon separated list of operations to modify it.
752Supported operations are:
753
754 B<WxH+X+Y> sets scale and position. B<"W" / "H"> specify the
755 horizontal/vertical scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y">
756 locate the image centre (percent). A scale of 0 disables
757 scaling. The maximum permitted scale is 1000.
758 op=tile enables tiling
759 op=pscale enables proportional scaling
760 op=root use the position of the terminal window relative to the root
761 window as the image offset, simulating a root window background
762
763The default scale and position setting is C<100x100+50+50>.
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 1064
1164The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1065Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1165any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1066C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1168B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1069extension might provide.
1070
1071The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1072
1073 (modifiers-)key
1074
1075Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1076B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1077B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
1078B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.

1172keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1082keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1173current application keymap mode state. 1083current application keymap mode state.
1174 1084
1175The 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
1176searching 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
1177omitting 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
1178keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1097value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1179performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1180 1098
1181I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1099As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1100escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1182number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1101number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1183 1102
1184You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1103An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1185with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1104of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1105interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1106prefixed with C<string:>).
1107
1108The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1109additional prefixes:
1110
1111=over 4
1112
1113=item string:STRING
1114
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:
1119
1120 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1121
1122This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1123
1124In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1125keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1126providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1186should be a character not used by the strings. 1127the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1187 1128
1188Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1129Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1189 1130
1190 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1131 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1191 1132
1192The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1133The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1193 1134

1143the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1144in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1145most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1207manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1154font-switching at runtime:
1208C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:

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 1161
1219Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1162 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1163 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1164
1165=item builtin:
1166
1167The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1168key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1169the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1170bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1171
1220if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1172For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1221C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1173@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1222user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1174"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:

1228of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1180of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1229C<Shift-Insert>. 1181C<Shift-Insert>.
1230 1182
1231The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1183=item builtin-string:
1232the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1233font-switching at runtime:
1234 1184
1235 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1185This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1236 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1186have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1187difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1188application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1189action for it.
1237 1190
1238Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1191An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1239info): 1192selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1193would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1194terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1240 1195
1241 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1196 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1242 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1197 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1198
1199The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1200combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1201C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1202
1203Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1204clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1205this:
1206
1207 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1208 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
