68single words?</a></strong><br />
69</dt>
70<dd>
71Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can use
72the following resource:
73</dd>
74<dd>
75<pre>
76 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)</pre>
77</dd>
78<dd>
79<p>If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended
80more and more.</p>
81</dd>
82<dd>
83<p>To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:</p>
84</dd>
85<dd>
86<pre>
87 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^&quot;&amp;'()*,;&lt;=&gt;?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+)</pre>
88</dd>
89<dd>
90<p>Please also note that the <em>LeftClick Shift-LeftClik</em> combination also
91selects words like the old code.</p>

94<dt><strong><a name="item_i_don_27t_like_the_new_selection_2fpopups_2fhotkey">I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I
95change/disable it?</a></strong><br />
96</dt>
97<dd>
98You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
99<strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource to the empty string, which also keeps
100rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
101</dd>
102<dd>
103<p>If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
104identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
105<strong>PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</strong> in the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code> manpage. For
106example, to disable the <strong>selection-popup</strong> and <strong>option-popup</strong>, specify
107this <strong>perl-ext-common</strong> resource:</p>
108</dd>
109<dd>
110<pre>
111 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup</pre>
112</dd>
113<dd>
114<p>This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
115extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
116scrollback search mode is triggered by <strong>M-s</strong>. You can move it to any
117other combination either by setting the <strong>searchable-scrollback</strong> resource:</p>

272recommendation?</a></strong><br />
273</dt>
274<dd>
275You should build one binary with the default options. <em>configure</em>
276now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
277runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
278except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
279be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
280the future) depends on it.
281</dd>
282<dd>
283<p>You should not overwrite the <code>perl-ext-common</code> snd <code>perl-ext</code> resources
284system-wide (except maybe with <code>defaults</code>). This will result in useful
285behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
286<code>perl-ext-common</code> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
287perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.</p>
288</dd>
289<dd>
290<p>If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
291one with <code>--disable-everything</code> (very useful) and a maximal one with
292<a href="#item__2d_2denable_2deverything"><code>--enable-everything</code></a> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
293encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).</p>
294</dd>
295<p></p>
296<dt><strong><a name="item_i_need_to_make_it_setuid_2fsetgid_to_support_utmp_">I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?</a></strong><br />
297</dt>
298<dd>
299It should be, starting with release 7.1. You are encouraged to properly
300install urxvt with privileges necessary for your OS now.
301</dd>
302<dd>
303<p>When rxvt-unicode detects that it runs setuid or setgid, it will fork
304into a helper process for privileged operations (pty handling on some
305systems, utmp/wtmp/lastlog handling on others) and drop privileges
306immediately. This is much safer than most other terminals that keep
307privileges while running (but is more relevant to urxvt, as it contains
308things as perl interpreters, which might be ``helpful'' to attackers).</p>
309</dd>
310<dd>
311<p>This forking is done as the very first within main(), which is very early
312and reduces possible bugs to initialisation code run before main(), or
313things like the dynamic loader of your system, which should result in very
314little risk.</p>

1888<h1><a name="menubar">menuBar</a></h1>
1889<p><strong>The exact syntax used is <em>almost</em> solidified. </strong>&gt;
1890In the menus, <strong>DON'T</strong> try to use menuBar commands that add or remove a
1891menuBar.</p>
1892<p>Note that in all of the commands, the <strong><em>/path/</em> </strong>&gt; <em>cannot</em> be
1893omitted: use <strong>./</strong> to specify a menu relative to the current menu.</p>
1894<p>
1895</p>
1896<h2><a name="overview_of_menubar_operation">Overview of menuBar operation</a></h2>
1897<p>For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence <code>ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST</code>, the syntax
1898of <a href="#item_pt"><code>Pt</code></a> can be used for a variety of tasks:</p>
1899<p>At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1900linked-list of other such menuBars.</p>
1901<p>The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1902turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.</p>
1903<p>The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1904input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.</p>
1905<p>The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1906constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1907menuBars.</p>
1908<p>The first step is to use the tag <strong>[menu:<em>name</em>] </strong>&gt; which creates
1909the menuBar called <em>name</em> and allows access. You may now or menus,
1910subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag <strong>[done]</strong> to set the
1911menuBar access as <strong>readonly</strong> to prevent accidental corruption of the
1912menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
1913<strong>[menu]</strong>, make the alterations and then use <strong>[done]</strong></p>
