29=item The new selection selects pieces that are too big/too small, can I
30change this?
31
32Yes. For example, if you want to select smaller pieces ("words") you can
33use the following resource:
34
35 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)
36
37If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended
38more and more.
39
40To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this pattern:
41
42 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+)
43
44=item I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I
45change/disable it?
46
47You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
48B<perl-ext-common> resource to the empty string, which also keeps
49rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
50
51If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
52identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
53B<PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS> in the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage. For
54example, to disable the B<selection-popup> and B<option-popup>, specify
55this B<perl-ext-common> resource:
56
57 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
58
59This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
60extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
61scrollback search mode is triggered by B<M-s>. You can move it to any
62other combination either by setting the B<searchable-scrollback> resource:
63
64 URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s

2518Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
2519version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist then
2520~/.Xresources.
2521
2522Please note that nowadays, things like XIM will automatically pull in and
2523use the full X resource manager, so the overhead of using it might be very
2524small, if nonexistant.
