|
|
162 | .IX Item "The new selection selects pieces that are too big/too small, can I change this?" |
|
|
163 | Yes. For example, if you want to select smaller pieces (\*(L"words\*(R") you can |
|
|
164 | use the following resource: |
|
|
165 | .Sp |
|
|
166 | .Vb 1 |
|
|
167 | \& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+) |
|
|
168 | .Ve |
|
|
169 | .Sp |
|
|
170 | If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended |
|
|
171 | more and more. |
|
|
172 | .Sp |
|
|
173 | To 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]^`{|})]+) |

|
|
179 | .IX Item "I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I change/disable it?" |
|
|
180 | You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the |
|
|
181 | \&\fBperl-ext-common\fR resource to the empty string, which also keeps |
|
|
182 | rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory. |
|
|
183 | .Sp |
|
|
184 | If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to |
|
|
185 | identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section |
|
|
186 | \&\fB\s-1PREPACKAGED\s0 \s-1EXTENSIONS\s0\fR in the @@RXVT_NAME@@\fIperl\fR\|(3) manpage. For |
|
|
187 | example, to disable the \fBselection-popup\fR and \fBoption-popup\fR, specify |
|
|
188 | this \fBperl-ext-common\fR resource: |
|
|
189 | .Sp |
|
|
190 | .Vb 1 |
|
|
191 | \& URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup |
|
|
192 | .Ve |
|
|
193 | .Sp |
|
|
194 | This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup |
|
|
195 | extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example, |
|
|
196 | scrollback search mode is triggered by \fBM\-s\fR. You can move it to any |
|
|
197 | other combination either by setting the \fBsearchable-scrollback\fR resource: |
|
|
198 | .Sp |
|
|
199 | .Vb 1 |
|
|
200 | \& URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s |
