1080Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1081them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1082by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1083example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1084C<selection>.
1085
1086Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1087(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1088searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1089multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1090the extension.
1091
1092Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1093necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
