400<p>A very primitive quake-console-like extension. It was inspired by a
401description of how the programs <code>kuake</code> and <code>yakuake</code> work: Whenever the
402user presses a global accelerator key (by default <code>F10</code>), the terminal
403will show or hide itself. Another press of the accelerator key will hide
404or show it again.</p>
405</dd>
406<dd>
407<p>Initially, the window will not be shown when using this extension.</p>
408</dd>
409<dd>
410<p>This is useful if you need a single terminal thats not using any desktop
411space most of the time but is quickly available at the press of a key.</p>
412</dd>
413<dd>
414<p>The accelerator key is grabbed regardless of any modifiers, so this
415extension will actually grab a physical key just for this function.</p>
416</dd>
417<dd>
418<p>If you want a quake-like animation, tell your window manager to do so
419(fvwm can do it).</p>

425<p>This is basically a very small extension that dynamically changes the
426background pixmap offset to the window position, in effect creating the
427same effect as pseudo transparency with a custom pixmap. No scaling is
428supported in this mode. Example:</p>

244<p></p> 457<p>Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
458selection popup that allows one ti run external commands to store the
459selection somewhere and fetch it again.</p>
460</dd>
461<dd>
462<p>We use it to implement a ``distributed selection mechanism'', which just
463means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another
464reads it.</p>
465</dd>
466<dd>
467<p>The commands can be set using the <code>URxvt.remote-selection.store</code> and
468<code>URxvt.remote-selection.fetch</code> resources. The first should read the
469selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should provide
470the selection data on STDOUT (also in UTF-8).</p>
471</dd>
472<dd>
473<p>The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:</p>

484<p>This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection as
485textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is
486not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to
487<em>/tmp</em> directly.).</p>

498<p>Pressing this combination runs a command with <code>%</code> replaced by the name of
499the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:</p>
500</dd>
501<dd>
502<pre>
503 URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.</pre>
504</dd>
505<dd>
506<p>And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people around
507here :)</p>
508</dd>
509<dd>
510<p>The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so
511the same content should lead to the same filename.</p>
512</dd>
513<dd>
514<p>After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given
515in the <code>selection-pastebin-url</code> resource (again, the % is the placeholder
516for the filename):</p>
