423 | Note that when reading X resources, rxvt recognizes two class names: |

390 | XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually |
425 | and the original *rxvt* to be easily configured, while the class name |
391 | /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt) and resources set in ~/.Xdefaults, or |

891 | If *string* takes the form "perl:STRING", then the specified STRING |
|
|
892 | is passed to the "on_keyboard_command" perl handler. See the |
|
|
893 | rxvtperl(3) manpage. For example, the selection extension (activated |
|
|
894 | via "rxvt -pe selection") listens for "selection:rot13" events: |
|
|
895 | |
|
|
896 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13 |
|
|
897 | |
|
|
898 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key |
|
|
899 | mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are |
|
|
900 | being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are |
|
|
901 | being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will |
|
|
902 | automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on, |
|
|
903 | unless some of those are defined mappings themselves. |
|
|
904 | |
|
|
905 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
906 | if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's |
|
|
907 | "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into |
|
|
908 | the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement: |
|
|
909 | |
|
|
910 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
911 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
912 | |
|
|
913 | The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination |
|
|
914 | of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
|
|
915 | "Shift-Insert". |

|
|
933 | "default") to use in this terminal instance; option -pe. |
|
|
934 | |
|
|
935 | Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using |
|
|
936 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions |
|
|
937 | loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource. |
|
|
938 | For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension |
|
|
939 | except "selection". |
|
|
940 | |
|
|
941 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle |
|
|
942 | brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey |
|
|
943 | for searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same |
|
|
944 | extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple |
|
|
945 | arguments to the extension. |
|
|
946 | |
|
|
947 | Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |
|
|
948 | necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. |
|
|
949 | |
|
|
950 | If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl |
|
|
951 | interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is |
|
|
952 | that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be |
