X<menuBar>

=head1 menuBar

B<< The exact syntax used is I<almost> solidified. >>
In the menus, B<DON'T> try to use menuBar commands that add or remove a
menuBar.

Note that in all of the commands, the B<< I</path/> >> I<cannot> be
omitted: use B<./> to specify a menu relative to the current menu.

=head2 Overview of menuBar operation

For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence C<ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST>, the syntax
of C<Pt> can be used for a variety of tasks:

At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
linked-list of other such menuBars.

The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.

The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.

The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
menuBars.

The first step is to use the tag B<< [menu:I<name>] >> which creates
the menuBar called I<name> and allows access. You may now or menus,
subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag B<[done]> to set the
menuBar access as B<readonly> to prevent accidental corruption of the
menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
B<[menu]>, make the alterations and then use B<[done]>

X<menuBarCommands>

=head2 Commands

=over 4

=item B<< [menu:+I<name>] >>

access the named menuBar for creation or alteration. If a new menuBar
is created, it is called I<name> (max of 15 chars) and the current
menuBar is pushed onto the stack

=item B<[menu]>

access the current menuBar for alteration

=item B<< [title:+I<string>] >>

set the current menuBar's title to I<string>, which may contain the
following format specifiers:
B<%%> : literal B<%> character
B<%n> : rxvt name (as per the B<-name> command-line option)
B<%v> : rxvt version

=item B<[done]>

set menuBar access as B<readonly>.
End-of-file tag for B<< [read:+I<file>] >> operations.

=item B<< [read:+I<file>] >>

read menu commands directly from I<file> (extension ".menu" will be
appended if required.) Start reading at a line with B<[menu]> or B<<
[menu:+I<name> >> and continuing until B<[done]> is encountered.

Blank and comment lines (starting with B<#>) are ignored. Actually,
since any invalid menu commands are also ignored, almost anything could
be construed as a comment line, but this may be tightened up in the
future ... so don't count on it!.

=item B<< [read:+I<file>;+I<name>] >>

The same as B<< [read:+I<file>] >>, but start reading at a line with
B<< [menu:+I<name>] >> and continuing until B<< [done:+I<name>] >> or
B<[done]> is encountered.

=item B<[dump]>

dump all menuBars to the file B</tmp/rxvt-PID> in a format suitable for
later rereading.

=item B<[rm:name]>

remove the named menuBar

=item B<[rm] [rm:]>

remove the current menuBar

=item B<[rm*] [rm:*]>

remove all menuBars

=item B<[swap]>

swap the top two menuBars

=item B<[prev]>

access the previous menuBar

=item B<[next]>

access the next menuBar

=item B<[show]>

Enable display of the menuBar

=item B<[hide]>

Disable display of the menuBar

=item B<< [pixmap:+I<name>] >>

=item B<< [pixmap:+I<name>;I<scaling>] >>

(set the background pixmap globally

B<< A Future implementation I<may> make this local to the menubar >>)

=item B<< [:+I<command>:] >>

ignore the menu readonly status and issue a I<command> to or a menu or
menuitem or change the ; a useful shortcut for setting the quick arrows
from a menuBar.

=back

X<menuBarAdd>

=head2 Adding and accessing menus

The following commands may also be B<+> prefixed.

=over 4

=item B</+>

access menuBar top level

=item B<./+>

access current menu level

=item B<../+>

access parent menu (1 level up)

=item B<../../>

access parent menu (multiple levels up)

=item B<< I</path/>menu >>

add/access menu

=item B<< I</path/>menu/* >>

add/access menu and clear it if it exists

=item B<< I</path/>{-} >>

add separator

=item B<< I</path/>{item} >>

add B<item> as a label

=item B<< I</path/>{item} action >>

add/alter I<menuitem> with an associated I<action>

=item B<< I</path/>{item}{right-text} >>

add/alter I<menuitem> with B<right-text> as the right-justified text
and as the associated I<action>

=item B<< I</path/>{item}{rtext} action >>

add/alter I<menuitem> with an associated I<action> and with B<rtext> as
the right-justified text.

=back

=over 4

=item Special characters in I<action> must be backslash-escaped:

B<\a \b \E \e \n \r \t \octal>

=item or in control-character notation:

B<^@, ^A .. ^Z .. ^_, ^?>

=back

To send a string starting with a B<NUL> (B<^@>) character to the
program, start I<action> with a pair of B<NUL> characters (B<^@^@>),
the first of which will be stripped off and the balance directed to the
program. Otherwise if I<action> begins with B<NUL> followed by
non-+B<NUL> characters, the leading B<NUL> is stripped off and the
balance is sent back to rxvt.

As a convenience for the many Emacs-type editors, I<action> may start
with B<M-> (eg, B<M-$> is equivalent to B<\E$>) and a B<CR> will be
appended if missed from B<M-x> commands.

As a convenience for issuing XTerm B<ESC]> sequences from a menubar (or
quick arrow), a B<BEL> (B<^G>) will be appended if needed.

=over 4

=item For example,

B<M-xapropos> is equivalent to B<\Exapropos\r>

=item and

B<\E]703;mona;100> is equivalent to B<\E]703;mona;100\a>

=back

The option B<< {I<right-rtext>} >> will be right-justified. In the
absence of a specified action, this text will be used as the I<action>
as well.

=over 4

=item For example,

B</File/{Open}{^X^F}> is equivalent to B</File/{Open}{^X^F} ^X^F>

=back

The left label I<is> necessary, since it's used for matching, but
implicitly hiding the left label (by using same name for both left and
right labels), or explicitly hiding the left label (by preceeding it
with a dot), makes it possible to have right-justified text only.

=over 4

=item For example,

B</File/{Open}{Open} Open-File-Action>

=item or hiding it

B</File/{.anylabel}{Open} Open-File-Action>

=back

X<menuBarRemove>

=head2 Removing menus

=over 4

=item B<< -/*+ >>

remove all menus from the menuBar, the same as B<[clear]>

=item B<< -+I</path>menu+ >>

remove menu

=item B<< -+I</path>{item}+ >>

remove item

=item B<< -+I</path>{-} >>

remove separator)

=item B<-/path/menu/*>

remove all items, separators and submenus from menu

=back

X<menuBarArrows>

=head2 Quick Arrows

The menus also provide a hook for I<quick arrows> to provide easier
user access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to
emulate the curror keys. The syntax permits each arrow to be altered
individually or all four at once without re-entering their common
beginning/end text. For example, to explicitly associate cursor actions
with the arrows, any of the following forms could be used:

=over 4

=item B<< <r>+I<Right> >>

=item B<< <l>+I<Left> >>

=item B<< <u>+I<Up> >>

=item B<< <d>+I<Down> >>

Define actions for the respective arrow buttons

=item B<< <b>+I<Begin> >>

=item B<< <e>+I<End> >>

Define common beginning/end parts for I<quick arrows> which used in
conjunction with the above <r> <l> <u> <d> constructs

=back

=over 4

=item For example, define arrows individually,

 <u>\E[A

 <d>\E[B

 <r>\E[C

 <l>\E[D

=item or all at once

 <u>\E[AZ<><d>\E[BZ<><r>\E[CZ<><l>\E[D

=item or more compactly (factoring out common parts)

 <b>\E[<u>AZ<><d>BZ<><r>CZ<><l>D

=back

X<XPM>

=head1 XPM

For the XPM XTerm escape sequence B<< C<ESC ] 20 ; Pt ST> >> then value
of B<< C<Pt> >> can be the name of the background pixmap followed by a
sequence of scaling/positioning commands separated by semi-colons. The
scaling/positioning commands are as follows:

=over 4

=item query scale/position

B<?>

=item change scale and position

B<WxH+X+Y>

B<WxH+X> (== B<WxH+X+X>)

B<WxH> (same as B<WxH+50+50>)

B<W+X+Y> (same as B<WxW+X+Y>)

B<W+X> (same as B<WxW+X+X>)

B<W> (same as B<WxW+50+50>)

=item change position (absolute)

B<=+X+Y>

B<=+X> (same as B<=+X+Y>)

=item change position (relative)

B<+X+Y>

B<+X> (same as B<+X+Y>)

=item rescale (relative)

B<Wx0> -> B<W *= (W/100)>

B<0xH> -> B<H *= (H/100)>

=back

For example:

=over 4

=item B<\E]20;funky\a>

load B<funky.xpm> as a tiled image

=item B<\E]20;mona;100\a>

load B<mona.xpm> with a scaling of 100%

=item B<\E]20;;200;?\a>

rescale the current pixmap to 200% and display the image geometry in
the title

=back
X<Mouse>

=head1 Mouse Reporting

=over 4

=item B<< C<< ESC [ M <b> <x> <y> >> >>

report mouse position

=back

The lower 2 bits of B<< C<< <b> >> >> indicate the button:

=over 4

=item Button = B<< C<< (<b> - SPACE) & 3 >> >>

=begin table

        0       Button1 pressed
        1       Button2 pressed
        2       Button3 pressed
        3       button released (X11 mouse report)

=end table

=back

The upper bits of B<< C<< <b> >> >> indicate the modifiers when the
button was pressed and are added together (X11 mouse report only):

=over 4

=item State = B<< C<< (<b> - SPACE) & 60 >> >>

=begin table

        4       Shift
        8       Meta
        16      Control
        32      Double Click I<(Rxvt extension)>

=end table

Col = B<< C<< <x> - SPACE >> >>

Row = B<< C<< <y> - SPACE >> >>

=back
X<KeyCodes>

=head1 Key Codes

Note: B<Shift> + B<F1>-B<F10> generates B<F11>-B<F20>

For the keypad, use B<Shift> to temporarily override Application-Keypad
setting use B<Num_Lock> to toggle Application-Keypad setting if
B<Num_Lock> is off, toggle Application-Keypad setting. Also note that
values of B<Home>, B<End>, B<Delete> may have been compiled differently on
your system.
