Then if you have it, could you tell what escape sequence it sends throw
Xterm by default? If you could do the same with urxvt will be very nice
;)

So we could rebind "\e[29~" to [menu] as it should; and whatever
sequence Print sends to [print].

Someone mentioned that PrtSc sends "\e[2~" is it different from the
sequence sent by your Print key?

Thanks in advance,
