22FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 22FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
23 The new selection selects pieces that are too big/too small, can I
24 change this?
25 Yes. For example, if you want to select smaller pieces ("words") you
26 can use the following resource:
27
28 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([[:word:]]+)
29
30 If you click more than twice, the selection will be extended more
31 and more.
32
33 To get a selection that is very similar to the old code, try this
34 pattern:
35
36 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ([^"&'()*,;<=>?@[\\\\]^`{|})]+)
37
38 I don't like the new selection/popups/hotkeys/perl, how do I
39 change/disable it?
40 You can disable the perl extension completely by setting the
41 perl-ext-common resource to the empty string, which also keeps
42 rxvt-unicode from initialising perl, saving memory.
43
44 If you only want to disable specific features, you first have to
45 identify which perl extension is responsible. For this, read the
46 section PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS in the rxvtperl(3) manpage. For
47 example, to disable the selection-popup and option-popup, specify
48 this perl-ext-common resource:
49
50 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,-selection-popup,-option-popup
51
52 This will keep the default extensions, but disable the two popup
53 extensions. Some extensions can also be configured, for example,
54 scrollback search mode is triggered by M-s. You can move it to any
55 other combination either by setting the searchable-scrollback
56 resource:
57
58 URxvt.searchable-scrollback: CM-s

23 Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat? 60 Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?

1969 Make resources checking via XGetDefault() instead of our small
1970 version which only checks ~/.Xdefaults, or if that doesn't exist
1971 then ~/.Xresources.
1972
1973 Please note that nowadays, things like XIM will automatically pull
1974 in and use the full X resource manager, so the overhead of using it
1975 might be very small, if nonexistant.
