213A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier. At the
214moment, it reacts to clicking with the left mouse button by trying to
215move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many
216cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (the this only works
217for programs that correctly support wide characters).

288This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that
289is, it implements what is commonly refered to as ``tabbed terminal''. The topmost line
290displays a ``[NEW]'' button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one
291button per tab.

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

298<dd>
299<p>The tabbar itself can be configured similarly to a normal terminal, but
300with a resource class of <code>URxvt.tabbed</code>. In addition, it supports the

327This (experimental) perl extension implements OnTheSpot editing. It does
328not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work well with
329OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at leats for SCIM and
330kinput2.
