		496	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		497
		498	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		499
		500	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		501	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		502	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		503	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		504	not.
		505
		506	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		507	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		508
		509	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		510	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		511	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		517	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty

		519	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		520	without having to run a program within it.
		521
		522	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		523	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		524	yourself if you want that.
		525
		526	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		527	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		528	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		529
		530	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a

		533	use IO::Pty;

		535

		1183
		1184	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1185	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1186	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1187
		1188	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1189
		1190	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
		1191
		1192	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1193
		1194	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a>
		1195	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<b>
		1196	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c>
		1197
		1198	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1199	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1200	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1201	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1202
		1203	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1204
		1205	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1206	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1207	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1208	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1209
		1210	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1211
		1212	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1213	will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1214	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1215	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1216	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1217	mappings themselves.
		1218
		1219	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1220	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1221	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1222	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1223
		1224	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1225	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1226
		1227	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1228	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1229	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1230
		1231	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1232	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1233	font-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
		1238	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1239	info):
		1240
		1241	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
		1242	URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t

		1250
		1251	Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
		1252	them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
		1253	by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
		1254	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1255	C<selection>.
		1256
		1257	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1258	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
		1259	searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension

		1537
		1538	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1539	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1540
		1541	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1542	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1543	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1544	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1545	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1546	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1547	all ways to specify a colour.
		1548
		1549	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1550	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1551	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1552	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1553	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1554	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1555	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1556
		1557	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1558	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1559	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1560	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1561
		1562	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1563	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1564

		1567	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
