<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1> |
| 72 |
<p>Everytime a terminal object gets created, extension scripts specified via |
| 73 |
the <code>perl</code> resource are loaded and associated with it.</p> |
| 74 |
<p>Scripts are compiled in a 'use strict' and 'use utf8' environment, and |
| 75 |
thus must be encoded as UTF-8.</p> |
| 76 |
<p>Each script will only ever be loaded once, even in rxvtd, where |
| 77 |
scripts will be shared (but not enabled) for all terminals.</p> |
| 78 |
<p> |
| 79 |

<hr /> |
| 81 |
<h1><a name="prepackaged_extensions">PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS</a></h1> |
| 82 |
<p>This section describes the extensions delivered with this release. You can |
| 83 |
find them in <em>/opt/rxvt/lib/urxvt/perl/</em>.</p> |
| 84 |
<p>You can activate them like this:</p> |
| 85 |
<pre> |
| 86 |
rxvt -pe <extensionname></pre> |
| 87 |
<p>Or by adding them to the resource for extensions loaded by default:</p> |
| 88 |
<pre> |
| 89 |
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,automove-background,selection-autotransform</pre> |
| 90 |
<dl> |
| 91 |
<dt><strong><a name="item_selection">selection (enabled by default)</a></strong><br /> |
| 92 |
</dt> |
| 93 |
<dd> |
| 94 |
(More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent |
| 95 |
when the user extends selections (double-click and further clicks). Right |
| 96 |
now, it tries to select words, urls and complete shell-quoted |
| 97 |
arguments, which is very convenient, too, if your <em>ls</em> supports |
| 98 |
<code>--quoting-style=shell</code>. |
| 99 |
</dd> |
| 100 |
<dd> |
| 101 |
<p>A double-click usually selects the word under the cursor, further clicks |
| 102 |
will enlarge the selection.</p> |
| 103 |
</dd> |
| 104 |
<dd> |
| 105 |
<p>The selection works by trying to match a number of regexes and displaying |
| 106 |
them in increasing order of length. You can add your own regexes by |
| 107 |
specifying resources of the form:</p> |
| 108 |
</dd> |
| 109 |
<dd> |
| 110 |
<pre> |
| 111 |
URxvt.selection.pattern-0: perl-regex |
| 112 |
URxvt.selection.pattern-1: perl-regex |
| 113 |
...</pre> |
| 114 |
</dd> |
| 115 |
<dd> |
| 116 |
<p>The index number (0, 1...) must not have any holes, and each regex must |
| 117 |
contain at least one pair of capturing parentheses, which will be used for |
| 118 |
the match. For example, the followign adds a regex that matches everything |
| 119 |
between two vertical bars:</p> |
| 120 |
</dd> |
| 121 |
<dd> |
| 122 |
<pre> |
| 123 |
URxvt.selection.pattern-0: \\|([^|]+)\\|</pre> |
| 124 |
</dd> |
| 125 |
<dd> |
| 126 |
<p>You can look at the source of the selection extension to see more |
| 127 |
interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.</p> |
| 128 |
</dd> |
| 129 |
<dd> |
| 130 |
<p>This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:</p> |

<dt><strong><a name="item_rot13">rot13</a></strong><br /> |

<pre> |

<dt><strong><a name="item_popup">option-popup (enabled by default)</a></strong><br /> |
| 144 |
</dt> |
| 145 |
<dd> |
| 146 |
Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at |
| 147 |
runtime. |
| 148 |
</dd> |
| 149 |
<p></p> |
| 150 |
<dt><strong>selection-popup (enabled by default)</strong><br /> |
| 151 |
</dt> |
| 152 |
<dd> |
| 153 |
Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button3 that lets you convert the selection |
| 154 |
text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl |
| 155 |
evalution, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content. |
| 156 |
</dd> |
| 157 |
<dd> |
| 158 |
<p>Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference |
| 159 |
onto <code>@{ $term-</code>{selection_popup_hook} }>, that is called whenever the |
| 160 |
popup is displayed.</p> |
| 161 |
</dd> |
| 162 |
<dd> |
| 163 |
<p>It's sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The selection |
| 164 |
is in <code>$_</code>, which can be used to decide wether to add something or not. |
| 165 |
It should either return nothing or a string and a code reference. The |
| 166 |
string will be used as button text and the code reference will be called |
| 167 |
when the button gets activated and should transform <code>$_</code>.</p> |
| 168 |
</dd> |
| 169 |
<dd> |
| 170 |
<p>The following will add an entry <code>a to b</code> that transforms all <code>a</code>s in |
| 171 |
the selection to <code>b</code>s, but only if the selection currently contains any |
| 172 |
<code>a</code>s:</p> |
| 173 |
</dd> |
| 174 |
<dd> |
| 175 |
<pre> |
| 176 |
push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub { |
| 177 |
/a/ ? ("a to be" => sub { s/a/b/g } |
| 178 |
: () |

| 183 |
</dt> |
| 184 |
<dd> |
| 185 |
Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered |
| 186 |
by a hotkey (default: <code>M-s</code>). While in search mode, normal terminal |
| 187 |
input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the |
| 188 |
screen. |
| 189 |
</dd> |
| 190 |
<dd> |
| 191 |
<p>Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental |
| 192 |
search. <code>BackSpace</code> removes a character from the regex, <code>Up</code> and <code>Down</code> |
| 193 |
search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, <code>End</code> jumps to the |
| 194 |
bottom. <code>Escape</code> leaves search mode and returns to the point where search |
| 195 |
was started, while <code>Enter</code> or <code>Return</code> stay at the current position and |
| 196 |
additionally stores the first match in the current line into the primary |
| 197 |
selection.</p> |
| 198 |
</dd> |
| 199 |
<p></p> |

| 201 |
</dt> |
| 202 |
<dd> |
| 203 |
This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection |
| 204 |
whenever a selection is made. |
| 205 |
</dd> |
| 206 |
<dd> |
| 207 |
<p>It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single <code>s///</code> |
| 208 |
operator) that modify <code>$_</code> as resources:</p> |
| 209 |
</dd> |
| 210 |
<dd> |
| 211 |
<pre> |
| 212 |
URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform |
| 213 |
URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform |
| 214 |
...</pre> |
| 215 |
</dd> |
| 216 |
<dd> |
| 217 |
<p>For example, the following will transform selections of the form |
| 218 |
<code>filename:number</code>, often seen in compiler messages, into <code>vi +$filename |
| 219 |
$word</code>:</p> |
| 220 |
</dd> |
| 221 |
<dd> |
| 222 |
<pre> |
| 223 |
URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/</pre> |
| 224 |
</dd> |
| 225 |
<dd> |
| 226 |
<p>And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can |
| 227 |
paste directly into your (vi :) editor:</p> |
| 228 |
</dd> |
| 229 |
<dd> |
| 230 |
<pre> |
| 231 |
URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/</pre> |
| 232 |
</dd> |
| 233 |
<dd> |
| 234 |
<p>Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)</p> |
| 235 |
</dd> |
| 236 |
<dd> |
| 237 |
<p>To expand the example above to typical perl error messages (``XXX at |
| 238 |
FILENAME line YYY.''), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:</p> |
| 239 |
</dd> |
| 240 |
<dd> |
| 241 |
<pre> |
| 242 |
URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.]) |
| 243 |
URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/</pre> |
| 244 |
</dd> |
| 245 |
<dd> |
| 246 |
<p>The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of |
| 247 |
every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms |
| 248 |
the message into vi commands to load the file.</p> |
| 249 |
</dd> |
| 250 |
<p></p> |
| 251 |
<dt><strong><a name="item_tabbed">tabbed</a></strong><br /> |
| 252 |
</dt> |
| 253 |
<dd> |
| 254 |
This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that |
| 255 |
is, it implements what is commonly refered to as ``tabbed terminal''. The topmost line |
| 256 |
displays a ``[NEW]'' button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one |
| 257 |
button per tab. |
| 258 |
</dd> |
| 259 |
<dd> |
| 260 |
<p>Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing Shift-Left and |
| 261 |
Shift-Right will switch to the tab left or right of the current one.</p> |
| 262 |
</dd> |
| 263 |
<p></p> |
| 264 |
<dt><strong><a name="item_mark_2durls">mark-urls</a></strong><br /> |
| 265 |
</dt> |
| 266 |
<dd> |
| 267 |
Uses per-line display filtering (<code>on_line_update</code>) to underline urls and |
| 268 |
make them clickable. When middle-clicked, the program specified in the |
| 269 |
resource <code>urlLauncher</code> (default <code>x-www-browser</code>) will be started with |
| 270 |
the URL as first argument. |
| 271 |
</dd> |
| 272 |
<p></p> |
| 273 |
<dt><strong><a name="item_automove_2dbackground">automove-background</a></strong><br /> |
| 274 |
</dt> |
| 275 |
<dd> |
| 276 |
This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the background pixmap offset |
| 277 |
to the window position, in effect creating the same effect as pseudo transparency with |
| 278 |
a custom pixmap. No scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple: |
| 279 |
</dd> |
| 280 |
<dd> |
| 281 |
<pre> |
| 282 |
rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background</pre> |

<dt><strong><a name="item_block_2dgraphics_2dto_2dascii">block-graphics-to-ascii</a></strong><br /> |
| 286 |
</dt> |
| 287 |
<dd> |
| 288 |
A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal, |
| 289 |
by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a |
| 290 |
similar-looking ascii character. |
| 291 |
</dd> |
| 292 |
<p></p> |
| 293 |
<dt><strong><a name="item_digital_2dclock">digital-clock</a></strong><br /> |
| 294 |
</dt> |
| 295 |
<dd> |
| 296 |
Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay. |
| 297 |
</dd> |
| 298 |
<p></p> |
| 299 |
<dt><strong><a name="item_example_2drefresh_2dhooks">example-refresh-hooks</a></strong><br /> |
| 300 |
</dt> |
| 301 |
<dd> |
| 302 |
Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the |
| 303 |
window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own |
| 304 |
overlays or changes. |
| 305 |
</dd> |

| 308 |
</dt> |
| 309 |
<dd> |
| 310 |
This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection as |
| 311 |
textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is |
| 312 |
not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to |
| 313 |
<em>/tmp</em> directly.). |
| 314 |
</dd> |
| 315 |
<dd> |
| 316 |
<p>It listens to the <code>selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin</code> keyboard command, |
| 317 |
i.e.</p> |
| 318 |
</dd> |
| 319 |
<dd> |
| 320 |
<pre> |
| 321 |
URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin</pre> |
| 322 |
</dd> |
| 323 |
<dd> |
| 324 |
<p>Pressing this combination runs a command with <code>%</code> replaced by the name of |
| 325 |
the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:</p> |
| 326 |
</dd> |
| 327 |
<dd> |
| 328 |
<pre> |
| 329 |
URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.</pre> |
| 330 |
</dd> |
| 331 |
<dd> |
| 332 |
<p>And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people around |
| 333 |
here :)</p> |
| 334 |
</dd> |
| 335 |
<dd> |
| 336 |
<p>The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so |
| 337 |
the same content should lead to the same filename.</p> |
| 338 |
</dd> |
| 339 |
<dd> |
| 340 |
<p>After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given |
| 341 |
in the <code>selection-pastebin-url</code> resource (again, the % is the placeholder |
| 342 |
for the filename):</p> |

<p>All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical |
| 357 |
reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you |
| 358 |
like. All members starting with an underscore (such as <code>_ptr</code> or |
| 359 |
<code>_hook</code>) are reserved for internal uses and <strong>MUST NOT</strong> be accessed or |
| 360 |
modified).</p> |
| 361 |
<p>When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are |
| 362 |
emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and |
| 363 |
the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the |
| 364 |
terminal is destroyed.</p> |
| 365 |
<p>Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are some |

hints on what they mean:</p> |

<h2><a name="extension_objects">Extension Objects</a></h2> |
| 393 |
<p>Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created |
| 394 |
for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter to |
| 395 |
hooks. So extensions can use their <code>$self</code> object without having to think |
| 396 |
about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members that |
| 397 |
begin with an underscore character <code>_</code>: these are reserved for internal |
| 398 |
use.</p> |
| 399 |
<p>Although it isn't a <code>urxvt::term</code> object, you can call all methods of the |
| 400 |
<code>urxvt::term</code> class on this object.</p> |
| 401 |
<p>It has the following methods and data members:</p> |
| 402 |
<dl> |
| 403 |
<dt><strong><a name="item__24urxvt_term__3d__24self_2d_3e_7bterm_7d">$urxvt_term = $self->{term}</a></strong><br /> |
| 404 |
</dt> |
| 405 |
<dd> |
| 406 |
Returns the <code>urxvt::term</code> object associated with this instance of the |
| 407 |
extension. This member <em>must not</em> be changed in any way. |
| 408 |
</dd> |
| 409 |

<dt><strong><a name="item_enable">$self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])</a></strong><br /> |
| 411 |
</dt> |
| 412 |
<dd> |
| 413 |
Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the <code>on_</code> prefix) for |
| 414 |
this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when you want |
| 415 |
to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily. |

<h2><a name="hooks">Hooks</a></h2> |
| 427 |
<p>The following subroutines can be declared in extension files, and will be |
| 428 |
called whenever the relevant event happens.</p> |
| 429 |
<p>The first argument passed to them is an extension oject as described in |
| 430 |
the in the <code>Extension Objects</code> section.</p> |
| 431 |
<p><strong>All</strong> of these hooks must return a boolean value. If any of the called |
| 432 |
hooks returns true, then the event counts as being <em>consumed</em>, and the |
| 433 |
relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.</p> |
| 434 |
<p><em>When in doubt, return a false value (preferably <code>()</code>). </em>></p> |

</dt> |
| 438 |
<dd> |
| 439 |
Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before |
| 440 |
windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to |
| 441 |
call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics |
| 442 |
have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources |
| 443 |
and options, though. For many purposes the <code>on_start</code> hook is a better |
| 444 |
place. |

<p>The sole purpose of this class is to deliver an interface to the |

| 858 |
further programming. The only exception is that you cannot wait on |
| 859 |
condition variables, but non-blocking condvar use is ok. What this means |
| 860 |
is that you cannot use blocking APIs, but the non-blocking variant should |

Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with system |

<p>Croaks (and probably outputs an error message) if the new instance |
