413Compile frills: Disable (or enable) emitting bracketed paste mode
414sequences (default enabled). Bracketed paste mode allows programs
415to detect when something is pasted. Since more and more programs
416abuse this, these sequences can be disabled. The command sequences to
417enable and query paste mode will still work, but the actual bracket
418sequences will no longer be emitted. You can also toggle this from the
419ctrl-middle-mouse-button menu; resource B<disablePasteBrackets>.

1265Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using 1309Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to remove them again, in
1266them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded 1310case they had been specified earlier. This can be useful to selectively

1268example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extensions except 1312C<perl-ext-common> resource. For example, C<default,-selection> will use
1269C<selection>. 1313all the default extensions except C<selection>.
1314
1315To prohibit autoloading of extensions, you can prefix them with C</>,
1316which will make urxvt refuse to automatically load them (this can be
1317overridden, however, by specifying the extension name again without a
1318prefix, though). This does not prohibit extensions themselves loading
1319other extensions. For example, C<default,/background> will keep the
1320C<background> extension from being loaded when a background OSC sequence
1321is received.
