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.

1111necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
