29=item The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select
30single words?
31
32Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can use
33the 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
44Please also note that the I<LeftClick Shift-LeftClik> combination also
45selects words like the old code.
46
47=item I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I
48change/disable it?
49
50You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
51B<perl-ext-common> resource to the empty string, which also keeps
52rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
53
54If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
55identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the section
56B<PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS> in the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3) manpage. For
57example, to disable the B<selection-popup> and B<option-popup>, specify
58this B<perl-ext-common> resource:
59
60 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
61
62This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
63extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
64scrollback search mode is triggered by B<M-s>. You can move it to any
65other combination either by setting the B<searchable-scrollback> resource:
66
67 URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s

176
177=item I am maintaining rxvt-unicode for distribution/OS XXX, any recommendation?
178
179You should build one binary with the default options. F<configure>
180now enables most useful options, and the trend goes to making them
181runtime-switchable, too, so there is usually no drawback to enbaling them,
182except higher disk and possibly memory usage. The perl interpreter should
183be enabled, as important functionality (menus, selection, likely more in
184the future) depends on it.
185
186You should not overwrite the C<perl-ext-common> snd C<perl-ext> resources
187system-wide (except maybe with C<defaults>). This will result in useful
188behaviour. If your distribution aims at low memory, add an empty
189C<perl-ext-common> resource to the app-defaults file. This will keep the
190perl interpreter disabled until the user enables it.
191
192If you can/want build more binaries, I recommend building a minimal
193one with C<--disable-everything> (very useful) and a maximal one with
194C<--enable-everything> (less useful, it will be very big due to a lot of
195encodings built-in that increase download times and are rarely used).
196
197=item I need to make it setuid/setgid to support utmp/ptys on my OS, is this safe?
198
199Likely not. While I honestly try to make it secure, and am probably not
200bad at it, I think it is simply unreasonable to expect all of freetype
201+ fontconfig + xft + xlib + perl + ... + rxvt-unicode itself to all be
202secure. Also, rxvt-unicode disables some options when it detects that it
203runs setuid or setgid, which is not nice. Besides, with the embedded perl
204interpreter the possibility for security problems easily multiplies.
205
206Elevated privileges are only required for utmp and pty operations on some
207systems (for example, GNU/Linux doesn't need any extra privileges for
208ptys, but some need it for utmp support). It is planned to mvoe this into
209a forked handler process, but this is not yet done.
210
211So, while setuid/setgid operation is supported and not a problem on your
212typical single-user-no-other-logins unix desktop, always remember that
213its an awful lot of code, most of which isn't checked for security issues
214regularly.

1629
1630B<< The exact syntax used is I<almost> solidified. >>
1631In the menus, B<DON'T> try to use menuBar commands that add or remove a
1632menuBar.
1633
1634Note that in all of the commands, the B<< I</path/> >> I<cannot> be
1635omitted: use B<./> to specify a menu relative to the current menu.
1636
1637=head2 Overview of menuBar operation
1638
1639For the menuBar XTerm escape sequence C<ESC ] 703 ; Pt ST>, the syntax
1640of C<Pt> can be used for a variety of tasks:
1641
1642At the top level is the current menuBar which is a member of a circular
1643linked-list of other such menuBars.
1644
1645The menuBar acts as a parent for the various drop-down menus, which in
1646turn, may have labels, separator lines, menuItems and subMenus.
1647
1648The menuItems are the useful bits: you can use them to mimic keyboard
1649input or even to send text or escape sequences back to rxvt.
1650
1651The menuBar syntax is intended to provide a simple yet robust method of
1652constructing and manipulating menus and navigating through the
1653menuBars.
1654
1655The first step is to use the tag B<< [menu:I<name>] >> which creates
1656the menuBar called I<name> and allows access. You may now or menus,
1657subMenus, and menuItems. Finally, use the tag B<[done]> to set the
1658menuBar access as B<readonly> to prevent accidental corruption of the
1659menus. To re-access the current menuBar for alterations, use the tag
1660B<[menu]>, make the alterations and then use B<[done]>

1823
1824=item or in control-character notation:
1825
1826B<^@, ^A .. ^Z .. ^_, ^?>
1827
1828=back
1829
1830To send a string starting with a B<NUL> (B<^@>) character to the
1831program, start I<action> with a pair of B<NUL> characters (B<^@^@>),
1832the first of which will be stripped off and the balance directed to the
1833program. Otherwise if I<action> begins with B<NUL> followed by
1834non-+B<NUL> characters, the leading B<NUL> is stripped off and the
1835balance is sent back to rxvt.
1836
1837As a convenience for the many Emacs-type editors, I<action> may start
1838with B<M-> (eg, B<M-$> is equivalent to B<\E$>) and a B<CR> will be
1839appended if missed from B<M-x> commands.
1840
1841As a convenience for issuing XTerm B<ESC ]> sequences from a menubar (or
1842quick arrow), a B<BEL> (B<^G>) will be appended if needed.
1843
1844=over 4
1845
1846=item For example,
1847
1848B<M-xapropos> is equivalent to B<\Exapropos\r>
1849

1851
1852B<\E]703;mona;100> is equivalent to B<\E]703;mona;100\a>
1853
1854=back
1855
1856The option B<< {I<right-rtext>} >> will be right-justified. In the
1857absence of a specified action, this text will be used as the I<action>
1858as well.
1859
1860=over 4
1861
1862=item For example,

1865
1866=back
1867
1868The left label I<is> necessary, since it's used for matching, but
1869implicitly hiding the left label (by using same name for both left and
1870right labels), or explicitly hiding the left label (by preceeding it
1871with a dot), makes it possible to have right-justified text only.

1915=head2 Quick Arrows
1916
1917The menus also provide a hook for I<quick arrows> to provide easier
1918user access. If nothing has been explicitly set, the default is to
1919emulate the curror keys. The syntax permits each arrow to be altered
1920individually or all four at once without re-entering their common
1921beginning/end text. For example, to explicitly associate cursor actions
1922with the arrows, any of the following forms could be used:
