737Use the specified image file for the background and also
738optionally specify a colon separated list of operations to modify it.
739Supported operations are:
740

744
745sets scale and position. B<"W" / "H"> specify the horizontal/vertical
746scale (percent), and B<"X" / "Y"> locate the image centre (percent). A
747scale of 0 disables scaling.

763
764The default scale and position setting is C<100x100+50+50>.
765Alternatively, a predefined set of templates can be used to achieve
766the most common setups:

777ratio and centered. Equivalent to 100x100+50+50:op=keep-aspect

779=item B<style=stretched>

794If multiple templates are specified the last one wins. Note that a
795template overrides all the scale, position and operations settings.

1173 1074
1174The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1075Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1175any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1076C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1178B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1079extension might provide.
1080
1081The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1082
1083 (modifiers-)key
1084
1085Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1086B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1087B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
1088B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1179 1089
1180The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1090The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
1181whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr 1091whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
1182keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the 1092keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1183current application keymap mode state. 1093current application keymap mode state.
1184 1094
1185The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1095Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1186searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1096match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1097key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1098defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1099C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1100themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1101this when this is a problem.
1102
1103The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1104find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1105looking for the C<XK_> macros in the B<X11/keysymdef.h> include file (omit
1187omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex 1106the C<XK_> prefix). Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex keysym
1188keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1107value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1189performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1190 1108
1191I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1109As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1110escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1192number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1111number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1193 1112
1194You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1113An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1195loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1114of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1196with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1115interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1116prefixed with C<string:>).
1117
1118The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1119additional prefixes:
1120
1121=over 4
1122
1123=item string:STRING
1124
1125If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1126then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1127terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1128string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1129
1130 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1131
1132This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1133
1134In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1135keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1136providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1197should be a character not used by the strings. 1137the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1198 1138
1199Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1139Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:

1218manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1164font-switching at runtime:
1219C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1220 1165
1221 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1166 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1167 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1222 1168
1223Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1169Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1224will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1170info):
1225no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1226means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1227definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1228mappings themselves.
1229 1171
1230Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1172 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1173 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1174
1175=item builtin:
1176
1177The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1178key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1179the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1180bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1181
1231if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1182For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1232C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the 1183@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1233user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1184"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:

1239of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1190of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1240C<Shift-Insert>. 1191C<Shift-Insert>.
1241 1192
1242The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1193=item builtin-string:
1243the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1244font-switching at runtime:
1245 1194
1246 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1195This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1247 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1196have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1197difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1198application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1199action for it.
1248 1200
1249Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1201An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1250info): 1202selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1203would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1204terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1251 1205
1252 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1206 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:

1208
1209The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1210combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1211C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1212
1213Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1214clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1215this:
1216
1217 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1218 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
