2 | I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I |

4 | You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the |
|
|
5 | perl-ext-common resource to the empty string, which also keeps |

8 | If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
|
|
9 | identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the |
