79<h1><a name="prepackaged_extensions">PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</a></h1>
80<p>This section describes the extensions delivered with this release. You can
81find them in <em>/opt/rxvt/lib/urxvt/perl/</em>.</p>
82<p>You can activate them like this:</p>
83<pre>
84 rxvt -pe &lt;extensionname&gt;</pre>
85<dl>
86<dt><strong><a name="item_selection">selection (enabled by default)</a></strong><br />
87</dt>
88<dd>
89(More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent
90when the user extends selections (double-click). Right now, it tries to
91select urls and complete shell-quoted arguments, which is very convenient,
92too, if your <em>ls</em> supports <code>--quoting-style=shell</code>.
93</dd>
94<dd>
95<p>It also offers the following bindable keyboard command:</p>
96</dd>
97<dl>
98<dt><strong><a name="item_rot13">rot13</a></strong><br />

108<dt><strong><a name="item_popup">option-popup (enabled by default)</a></strong><br />
109</dt>
110<dd>
111Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at
112runtime.
113</dd>
114<p></p>
115<dt><strong>selection-popup (enabled by default)</strong><br />
116</dt>
117<dd>
118Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button3 that lets you convert the selection
119text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl
120evalution, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content.
121</dd>
122<p></p>

124</dt>
125<dd>
126Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
127by a hotkey (default: <code>M-s</code>). When in search mode, normal terminal
128input/output is suspended.
129</dd>
130<dd>
131<p><code>/</code> starts an incremental regex search, <code>n</code> searches further, <code>p</code> or
132<code>N</code> jump to the previous match, <code>G</code> jumps to the bottom and clears the
133history, <code>enter</code> leaves search mode at the current position and <code>escape</code>
134returns to the original position.</p>

137<dt><strong><a name="item_digital_2dclock">digital-clock</a></strong><br />

143<dt><strong><a name="item_mark_2durls">mark-urls</a></strong><br />

149<dt><strong><a name="item_block_2dgraphics_2dto_2dascii">block-graphics-to-ascii</a></strong><br />
150</dt>
151<dd>
152A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal,
153by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a
154similar-looking ascii character.

208<h2><a name="extension_objects">Extension Objects</a></h2>
209<p>Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
210for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter to
211hooks. So extensions can use their <code>$self</code> object without having to think
212about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members that
213begin with an underscore character <code>_</code>: these are reserved for internal
214use.</p>
215<p>Although it isn't a <code>urxvt::term</code> object, you can call all methods of the
216<code>urxvt::term</code> class on this object.</p>
217<p>It has the following methods and data members:</p>
218<dl>

220</dt>
221<dd>
222Returns the <code>urxvt::term</code> object associated with this instance of the
223extension. This member <em>must not</em> be changed in any way.

227</dt>
228<dd>
229Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the <code>on_</code> prefix) for
230this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when you want
231to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
232</dd>

338information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the

354and calling <a href="#item_scr_add_lines"><code>$term-&gt;scr_add_lines</code></a> yourself. Please note that this

371that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons,
372not always immediately.

379<p>Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get called
380later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts change), so
