!  XTerm Translations, i.e. keyboard remapping.
!
! Notes:
!   ~       means that that modifier must not be asserted.
!   !       means that the listed modifiers must be in the correct state and
!               no other modifiers can be asserted.
!   None    means no modifiers can be asserted.
!   :       directs the Intrinsics to apply any standard modifiers in the event.
!   ^       is an abbreviation for the Control modifier.
!   $       is an abbreviation for Meta
!
! Example:
!   No modifiers:                          None <event> detail
!   Any modifiers:                              <event> detail
!   Only these modifiers:           ! mod1 mod2 <event> detail
!   These modifiers and any others:   mod1 mod2 <event> detail

! Below:
!
! - I have some old apps that use Alt-F4, but thats sometimes difficult to
!       press so Ctrl-Shift-F4 does the same thing.
! - Ctrl-MouseWheel can be used to increase and descrease font size.
! - Ctrl-I is totally useless, because it is literally impossible for
!       applications to differentiate it from Tab. You can remap it to some
!       other harder-to-press keybinding here, I use it for Italics in
!       wordperfect.

XTerm*vt100.translations:   #override           \n\
    Ctrl Shift <Key>F4:     string("\033[1;3S") \n\
  ! Ctrl <Btn4Up>:          larger-vt-font()    \n\
  ! Ctrl <Btn5Up>:          smaller-vt-font()   \n\
    ^<Key>I:                string("\014")      \n\

Thank you!
