258<strong>Shift-Right</strong> will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
259while <strong>Shift-Down</strong> creates a new tab.</p>
260 <p>The tabbar itself can be configured similarly to a normal terminal, but
261with a resource class of <code>URxvt.tabbed</code>. In addition, it supports the
262following four resources (shown with defaults):</p>
263<pre> URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-fg: &lt;colour-index, default 3&gt;
264 URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-bg: &lt;colour-index, default 0&gt;

274 <p>Uses per-line display filtering (<code>on_line_update</code>) to underline text
275matching a certain pattern and make it clickable. When clicked with the
276mouse button specified in the <code>matcher.button</code> resource (default 2, or
277middle), the program specified in the <code>matcher.launcher</code> resource
278(default, the <code>urlLauncher</code> resource, <code>sensible-browser</code>) will be started
279with the matched text as first argument. The default configuration is
280suitable for matching URLs and launching a web browser, like the
281former &quot;mark-urls&quot; extension.</p>
282 <p>The default pattern to match URLs can be overridden with the
283<code>matcher.pattern.0</code> resource, and additional patterns can be specified
284with numbered patterns, in a manner similar to the &quot;selection&quot; extension.
285The launcher can also be overridden on a per-pattern basis.</p>
286 <p>It is possible to activate the most recently seen match from the keyboard.
287Simply bind a keysym to &quot;perl:matcher&quot; as seen in the example below.</p>

301 <p>This (experimental) perl extension implements OnTheSpot editing. It does
302not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work well with
303OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at least for SCIM and
304kinput2.</p>
305 <p>You enable it by specifying this extension and a preedit style of
306<code>OnTheSpot</code>, i.e.:</p>
307<pre> rxvt -pt OnTheSpot -pe xim-onthespot

312 <dd>
313 <p>A very primitive quake-console-like extension. It was inspired by a
314description of how the programs <code>kuake</code> and <code>yakuake</code> work: Whenever the
315user presses a global accelerator key (by default <code>F10</code>), the terminal
316will show or hide itself. Another press of the accelerator key will hide
317or show it again.</p>
318 <p>Initially, the window will not be shown when using this extension.</p>
319 <p>This is useful if you need a single terminal that is not using any desktop
320space most of the time but is quickly available at the press of a key.</p>
321 <p>The accelerator key is grabbed regardless of any modifiers, so this
322extension will actually grab a physical key just for this function.</p>
323 <p>If you want a quake-like animation, tell your window manager to do so
324(fvwm can do it).</p>

338 <p>Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
339selection popup that allows one to run external commands to store the
340selection somewhere and fetch it again.</p>
341 <p>We use it to implement a &quot;distributed selection mechanism&quot;, which just
342means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another
343reads it.</p>
344 <p>The commands can be set using the <code>URxvt.remote-selection.store</code> and
345<code>URxvt.remote-selection.fetch</code> resources. The first should read the
346selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should provide
347the selection data on STDOUT (also in UTF-8).</p>
348 <p>The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:</p>
349<pre> URxvt.remote-selection.store: rsh ruth 'cat &gt;/tmp/distributed-selection'
350 URxvt.remote-selection.fetch: rsh ruth 'cat /tmp/distributed-selection'

354 <dt>selection-pastebin</dt>
355 <dd>
356 <p>This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection as
357textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is
358not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to
359<cite>/tmp</cite> directly.).</p>
360 <p>It listens to the <code>selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin</code> keyboard command,
361i.e.</p>
362<pre> URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
363
364</pre>
365 <p>Pressing this combination runs a command with <code>%</code> replaced by the name of
366the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:</p>
367<pre> URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
368
369</pre>
370 <p>And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people around
371here :)</p>
372 <p>The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so
373the same content should lead to the same filename.</p>
374 <p>After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given
375in the <code>selection-pastebin-url</code> resource (again, the % is the placeholder
376for the filename):</p>
377<pre> URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/%

380 <p><i>Note to xrdb users:</i> xrdb uses the C preprocessor, which might interpret
381the double <code>/</code> characters as comment start. Use <code>\057\057</code> instead,
382which works regardless of wether xrdb is used to parse the resource file
383or not.</p>
