236the moment, it reacts to clicking shift-left mouse button by trying to
237move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many

310This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that
311is, it implements what is commonly refered to as ``tabbed terminal''. The topmost line
312displays a ``[NEW]'' button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one
313button per tab.

316<p>Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing <strong>Shift-Left</strong> and

320<dd>
321<p>The tabbar itself can be configured similarly to a normal terminal, but
322with a resource class of <code>URxvt.tabbed</code>. In addition, it supports the

348<dd>
349This (experimental) perl extension implements OnTheSpot editing. It does
350not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work well with
351OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at leats for SCIM and
352kinput2.
353</dd>
354<dd>
355<p>You enable it by specifying this extension and a preedit style of
356<code>OnTheSpot</code>, i.e.:</p>

366This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the background pixmap offset
367to the window position, in effect creating the same effect as pseudo transparency with
368a custom pixmap. No scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple:

391<dd>
392Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
393selection popup that allows one ti run external commands to store the
394selection somewhere and fetch it again.
395</dd>
396<dd>
397<p>We use it to implement a ``distributed selection mechanism'', which just
398means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another
399reads it.</p>
400</dd>
401<dd>
402<p>The commands can be set using the <code>URxvt.remote-selection.store</code> and
403<code>URxvt.remote-selection.fetch</code> resources. The first should read the
404selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should provide
405the selection data on STDOUT (also in UTF-8).</p>
406</dd>
407<dd>
408<p>The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:</p>

419This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection as
420textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is
421not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to
422<em>/tmp</em> directly.).

433<p>Pressing this combination runs a command with <code>%</code> replaced by the name of
434the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:</p>

442here :)</p>
443</dd>
444<dd>
445<p>The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so
446the same content should lead to the same filename.</p>
447</dd>
448<dd>
449<p>After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given
