1056 1070
1057The 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
1058searching 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
1059omitting 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
1060keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1083value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).

1063I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace, 1085As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash

1074 1093
1075You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string> 1094The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1076with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1095additional prefixes:

1083The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 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:
1084 1105
1085 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a> 1106 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1086 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
1087 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
1088 1107
1108This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.

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
1091example 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>

1097is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) 1124the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1098manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1125font-switching at runtime:
1099C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1100 1126
1101 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
1102 1129
1103Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1130Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1104will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1131info):
1105no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1106means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1107definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1108mappings themselves.
1109 1132
1110Unfortunately, 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
1111if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1143For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1112C<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
1113user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1145"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1114 1146
1115 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> 1147 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1116 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: 1148 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:

1118The 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
1119of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1151of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1120C<Shift-Insert>. 1152C<Shift-Insert>.
1121 1153
1122The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1154=item builtin-string:
1123the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1124font-switching at runtime:
1125 1155
1126 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1156This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1127 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.
1128 1161
1129Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1162An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1130info): 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:
1131 1166
1132 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1167 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1133 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:

1391consist of a 4*4*4 RGB colour cube (i.e. I<index = r * 16 + g * 4 + b +
139216>), followed by 8 additional shades of gray (with indices 80 to 87).
1393 1594
1595The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
1596
1597 index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3
1598 index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5
1599
1600The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
1601steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of
1602the RGB cube.
