1098Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1099them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1100by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1101example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1102C<selection>.
1103
1104Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1105(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1106searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1107multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1108the extension.
1109
1110Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1111necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
