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

1817.PP
1818At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1819linked-list of other such menuBars.
1820.PP
1821The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1822turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1823.PP
1824The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1825input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1826.PP
1827The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1828constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1829menuBars.
1830.PP
1831The first step is to use the tag \fB[menu:\f(BIname\fB]\fR which creates
1832the menuBar called \fIname\fR and allows access. You may now or menus,
1833subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag \fB[done]\fR to set the
1834menuBar access as \fBreadonly\fR to prevent accidental corruption of the
1835menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag

1976with \fBM\-\fR (eg, \fBM\-$\fR is equivalent to \fB\eE$\fR) and a \fB\s-1CR\s0\fR will be

1996implicitly hiding the left label (by using same name for both left and

2030The menus also provide a hook for \fIquick arrows\fR to provide easier
2031user access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to

2033individually or all four at once without re-entering their common
2034beginning/end text. For example, to explicitly associate cursor actions
2035with the arrows, any of the following forms could be used:
