76<h2><a name="prepackaged_extensions">Prepackaged Extensions</a></h2>
77<p>This section describes the extensiosn delivered with this version. You can
78find them in <em>/opt/rxvt/lib/urxvt/perl/</em>.</p>
79<p>You can activate them like this:</p>
80<pre>
81 rxvt -pe &lt;extensionname&gt;</pre>
82<dl>
83<dt><strong><a name="item_selection">selection (enabled by default)</a></strong><br />
84</dt>
85<dd>
86Intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent when
87the user extends selections (double-click). Right now, it tries to select
88urls and complete shell-quoted arguments, which is very convenient, too,
89if your <em>ls</em> supports <code>--quoting-style=shell</code>.
90</dd>
91<dd>
92<p>It also offers the following bindable event:</p>
93</dd>

284operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
285information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
286string should start with the extension name and a colon, to distinguish

301and calling <a href="#item_scr_add_lines"><code>$term-&gt;scr_add_lines</code></a> yourself. Please note that this

309Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
310screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only lines
311that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons,
312not always immediately.

827<dd>
828Returns the text of the entire row with number <code>$row_number</code>. Row <code>0</code>
829is the topmost terminal line, row <code>$term-&gt;$ncol-1</code> is the bottommost
830terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line <code>-1</code> and extends to
831line <a href="#item_nsaved"><code>-$term-&gt;nsaved</code></a>. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
832is requested.
833</dd>
834<dd>
835<p>If <code>$new_text</code> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
836line, starting at column <code>$start_col</code> (default <code>0</code>), which is useful
837to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
838automatically be updated.</p>
839</dd>

841<p><a href="#item__24text"><code>$text</code></a> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
842than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters

844that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
845characters in the private use area.</p>
