Hi,

no problem.

(Note that I agree that configuring key bindings for urxvt is... complicated. I
configured it once, forgot, and am now relearning things a bit.)

Isn't that in the man page urxvt(7)? For example, to change the font size, I
have in my ~/.Xresources:

>  URxvt.keysym.Control-Meta-1: command:\033]710;xft:dejavu sans mono:antialias=true:pixelsize=15\007
>  URxvt.keysym.Control-Meta-2: command:\033]710;xft:dejavu sans mono:antialias=true:pixelsize=24\007

Now, urxvt(7) says:

So, to piece it together:

    ESC ] Ps; Pt ST

    becomes

    \033 ] 710; [some font] \007

    (where \033 is the ASCII value for ESC, and \007 is BEL as noted in the
    man page)

which is what I have after "command:".  So that is how I switch between two font
sizes: one for when I'm in front of the computer and one for when I'm sitting
on my bed/sofa (it's a small dorm room). Another example for setting up fontsis
in the FAQ entry "Can I see a typical configuration?" in urxvt(7).

To configure the keybindings for tabbing, you need to check the man page
urxvtperl(3), since tabbing is implemented as a perl extension. While I
didn't find anything, maybe you can :-) .  BTW, I just looked at Roman's wiki
and I think that you should consider trying his modified version, where you
definitely can configure the keybindings.

Hoping I didn't misunderstand you,
