161.IP "The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words?" 4
162.IX Item "The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select single words?"
163Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can use
164the following resource:
165.Sp
166.Vb 1
167\& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)
168.Ve
169.Sp
170If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended
171more and more.
172.Sp
173To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:
174.Sp
175.Vb 1
176\& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\e\e\e\e]^`{|})]+)
177.Ve
178.Sp
179Please also note that the \fILeftClick Shift-LeftClik\fR combination also
180selects words like the old code.
181.IP "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?" 4
182.IX Item "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?"
183You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
184\&\fBperl-ext-common\fR resource to the empty string, which also keeps
185rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
186.Sp
187If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
188identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
189\&\fB\s-1PREPACKAGED\s0 \s-1EXTENSIONS\s0\fR in the @@RXVT_NAME@@\fIperl\fR\|(3) manpage. For
190example, to disable the \fBselection-popup\fR and \fBoption-popup\fR, specify
191this \fBperl-ext-common\fR resource:
192.Sp
193.Vb 1
194\& URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
195.Ve
196.Sp
197This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
198extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
199scrollback search mode is triggered by \fBM\-s\fR. You can move it to any
200other combination either by setting the \fBsearchable-scrollback\fR resource:
201.Sp
202.Vb 1
203\& URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s
