1178 1074
1179The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1075Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1180any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1076C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1183B<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>.
1184 1089
1185The 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
1186whatever 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
1187keys 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
1188current application keymap mode state. 1093current application keymap mode state.
1189 1094
1190The 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
1191searching 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
1192omitting 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
1193keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not 1107value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1194performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1195 1108
1196I<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
1197number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1111number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1198 1112
1199You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1113An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1200loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1114of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1201with 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
1202should be a character not used by the strings. 1137the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1203 1138
1204Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1139Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1205 1140
1206 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1141 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1207 1142
1208The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1143The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1153the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
1154in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
1155most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.

1223manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1164font-switching at runtime:
1224C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1225 1165
1226 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
1227 1168
1228Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1169Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
1229will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and 1170info):
1230no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1231means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1232definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1233mappings themselves.
1234 1171
1235Unfortunately, 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
1236if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1182For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
1237C<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
1238user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1184"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1239 1185

1244of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1190of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1245C<Shift-Insert>. 1191C<Shift-Insert>.
1246 1192
1247The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1193=item builtin-string:
1248the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1249font-switching at runtime:
1250 1194
1251 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1195This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1252 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.
1253 1200
1254Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1201An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1255info): 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:
1256 1205
1257 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1206 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1258 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t 1207 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
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:
