23 The new selection selects pieces that are too big, how can I select
24 single words?
25 Yes. For example, if you want to select alphanumeric words, you can
26 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 Please also note that the *LeftClick Shift-LeftClik* combination
39 also selects words like the old code.
