1178 1073
1179The format of I<sym> is "I<(modifiers-)key>", where I<modifiers> can be 1074Using this resource, you can map key combinations such as
1180any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>, B<Control>, B<NumLock>, 1075C<Ctrl-Shift-BackSpace> to various actions, such as outputting a different

1183B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>. 1078extension might provide.
1079
1080The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
1081
1082 (modifiers-)key
1083
1084Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
1085B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,
1086B<Mod3>, B<Mod4>, B<Mod5>, and the abbreviated B<I>, B<K>, B<C>, B<N>,
1087B<S>, B<M>, B<A>, B<L>, B<1>, B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
1184 1088
1185The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to 1089The 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 1090whatever 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 1091keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
1188current application keymap mode state. 1092current application keymap mode state.
1189 1093
1190The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or 1094Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a key mapping will
1191searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and 1095match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and no other
1096key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That means that
1097defining a mapping for C<a> will automatically provide definitions for
1098C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined mappings
1099themselves. See the C<builtin:> action, below, for a way to work around
1100this when this is a problem.
1101
1102The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to
1103find a key name is to use the B<xev>(1) command. You can find a list by
1104looking 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 1105the 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 1106value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>).
1194performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
1195 1107
1196I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal 1108As with any resource value, the I<action> string may contain backslash
1109escape sequences (C<\n>: newline, C<\\>: backslash, C<\000>: octal
1197number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details. 1110number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for further details.
1198 1111
1199You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by 1112An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
1200loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> 1113of action, followed by a colon. An action string without colons is
1201with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' 1114interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if it was
1115prefixed with C<string:>).
1116
1117The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
1118additional prefixes:
1119
1120=over 4
1121
1122=item string:STRING
1123
1124If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
1125then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
1126terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
1127string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
1128
1129 URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
1130
1131This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1132
1133In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1134keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1135providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1202should be a character not used by the strings. 1136the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1203 1137
1204Its usage can be demonstrated by an example: 1138Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1205 1139
1206 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|> 1140 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>

1208The above line is equivalent to the following three lines: 1142The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1223manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via 1163font-switching at runtime:
1224C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1225 1164
1226 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 1165 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
1166 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
1227 1167
1228Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping 1168Other 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 1169info):
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 1170
1235Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example 1171 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
1172 URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
1173
1174=item builtin:
1175
1176The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
1177key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
1178the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
1179bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
1180
1236if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s 1181For 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 1182@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
1238user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement: 1183"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:

1244of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for 1189of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1245C<Shift-Insert>. 1190C<Shift-Insert>.
1246 1191
1247The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to 1192=item builtin-string:
1248the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
1249font-switching at runtime:
1250 1193
1251 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 1194This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1252 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 1195have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1196difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1197application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1198action for it.
1253 1199
1254Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more 1200An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1255info): 1201selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1202would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1203terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1256 1204
1257 URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t 1205 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:

1207
1208The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1209combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1210C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1211
1212Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1213clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1214this:
1215
1216 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1217 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
