85extends selections (double-click). 95when the user extends selections (double-click and further clicks). Right
86</dd> 96now, it tries to select words, urls and complete shell-quoted
87<dd> 97arguments, which is very convenient, too, if your <cite>ls</cite> supports
88<p>It also offers the following bindable event:</p> 98<code>--quoting-style=shell</code>.</p>
89</dd> 99 <p>A double-click usually selects the word under the cursor, further clicks
90<dl> 100will enlarge the selection.</p>
91<dt><strong><a name="item_rot13">rot13</a></strong><br /> 101 <p>The selection works by trying to match a number of regexes and displaying
92</dt> 102them in increasing order of length. You can add your own regexes by
93<dd> 103specifying resources of the form:</p>
104<pre> URxvt.selection.pattern-0: perl-regex
105 URxvt.selection.pattern-1: perl-regex
106 ...
107
108</pre>
109 <p>The index number (0, 1...) must not have any holes, and each regex must
110contain at least one pair of capturing parentheses, which will be used for
111the match. For example, the following adds a regex that matches everything
112between two vertical bars:</p>
113<pre> URxvt.selection.pattern-0: \\|([^|]+)\\|
114
115</pre>
116 <p>Another example: Programs I use often output &quot;absolute path: &quot; at the
117beginning of a line when they process multiple files. The following
118pattern matches the filename (note, there is a single space at the very
119end):</p>
120<pre> URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ^(/[^:]+):\
121
122</pre>
123 <p>You can look at the source of the selection extension to see more
124interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.</p>
125 <p>This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:</p>

102</dt>
103<dd> 139 <dd>
140 <p>Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at
141runtime.</p>
142 <p>Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference
143onto <code>@{ $term-</code>{option_popup_hook} }&gt;, which gets called whenever the
144popup is being displayed.</p>
145 <p>Its sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. It should
146either return nothing or a string, the initial boolean value and a code
147reference. The string will be used as button text and the code reference
148will be called when the toggle changes, with the new boolean value as
149first argument.</p>
150 <p>The following will add an entry <code>myoption</code> that changes
151<code>$self-</code>{myoption}&gt;:</p>
152<pre> push @{ $self-&gt;{term}{option_popup_hook} }, sub {
153 (&quot;my option&quot; =&gt; $myoption, sub { $self-&gt;{myoption} = $_[0] })
154 };
155
156</pre>
157 </dd>
158 <dt>selection-popup (enabled by default)</dt>
159 <dd>
160 <p>Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button3 that lets you convert the selection
161text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl
162evaluation, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content.</p>
163 <p>Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference
164onto <code>@{ $term-</code>{selection_popup_hook} }&gt;, which gets called whenever the
165popup is being displayed.</p>
166 <p>Its sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The selection
167is in <code>$_</code>, which can be used to decide whether to add something or not.
168It should either return nothing or a string and a code reference. The
169string will be used as button text and the code reference will be called
170when the button gets activated and should transform <code>$_</code>.</p>
171 <p>The following will add an entry <code>a to b</code> that transforms all <code>a</code>s in
172the selection to <code>b</code>s, but only if the selection currently contains any
173<code>a</code>s:</p>
174<pre> push @{ $self-&gt;{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
175 /a/ ? (&quot;a to b&quot; =&gt; sub { s/a/b/g }
176 : ()
177 };
178
179</pre>
180 </dd>
181 <dt>searchable-scrollback&lt;hotkey&gt; (enabled by default)</dt>
182 <dd>
183 <p>Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
184by a hotkey (default: <code>M-s</code>). While in search mode, normal terminal
185input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the
186screen.</p>
187 <p>Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental
188search. <code>BackSpace</code> removes a character from the regex, <code>Up</code> and <code>Down</code>
189search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, <code>End</code> jumps to the
190bottom. <code>Escape</code> leaves search mode and returns to the point where search
191was started, while <code>Enter</code> or <code>Return</code> stay at the current position and
192additionally stores the first match in the current line into the primary
193selection if the <code>Shift</code> modifier is active.</p>
194 <p>The regex defaults to &quot;(?i)&quot;, resulting in a case-insensitive search. To
195get a case-sensitive search you can delete this prefix using <code>BackSpace</code>
196or simply use an uppercase character which removes the &quot;(?i)&quot; prefix.</p>
197 <p>See <cite>perlre</cite> for more info about perl regular expression syntax.</p>
198 </dd>
199 <dt>readline (enabled by default)</dt>
200 <dd>
201 <p>A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier. At
202the moment, it reacts to clicking shift-left mouse button by trying to
203move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many
204cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (the this only works
205for programs that correctly support wide characters).</p>
206 <p>To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:</p>
207 <p>
208 <dl>
209 <dt>- the tty is in ICANON state.</dt>
210 <dt>- the text cursor is visible.</dt>
211 <dt>- the primary screen is currently being displayed.</dt>
212 <dt>- the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor.</dt>
213 </dl>
214 </p>
215 <p>The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive clicks
216might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.</p>
217 </dd>
218 <dt>selection-autotransform</dt>
219 <dd>
220 <p>This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
221whenever a selection is made.</p>
222 <p>It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single <code>s///</code>
223operator) that modify <code>$_</code> as resources:</p>
224<pre> URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
225 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
226 ...
227
228</pre>
229 <p>For example, the following will transform selections of the form
230<code>filename:number</code>, often seen in compiler messages, into <code>vi +$filename
231$word</code>:</p>
232<pre> URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/
233
234</pre>
235 <p>And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can
236paste directly into your (vi :) editor:</p>
237<pre> URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
238
239</pre>
240 <p>Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)</p>
241 <p>To expand the example above to typical perl error messages (&quot;XXX at
242FILENAME line YYY.&quot;), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:</p>
243<pre> URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.])
244 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
245
246</pre>
247 <p>The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of
248every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms
249the message into vi commands to load the file.</p>
250 </dd>
251 <dt>tabbed</dt>
252 <dd>
253 <p>This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that
254is, it implements what is commonly referred to as &quot;tabbed terminal&quot;. The topmost line
255displays a &quot;[NEW]&quot; button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one
256button per tab.</p>
257 <p>Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing <strong>Shift-Left</strong> and
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;
265 URxvt.tabbed.tab-fg: &lt;colour-index, default 0&gt;
266 URxvt.tabbed.tab-bg: &lt;colour-index, default 1&gt;
267
268</pre>
269 <p>See <i>COLOR AND GRAPHICS</i> in the rxvt(1) manpage for valid
270indices.</p>
271 </dd>
272 <dt>matcher</dt>
273 <dd>
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>
288 <p>Example configuration:</p>
289<pre> URxvt.perl-ext: default,matcher
290 URxvt.urlLauncher: sensible-browser
291 URxvt.keysym.C-Delete: perl:matcher
292 URxvt.matcher.button: 1
293 URxvt.matcher.pattern.1: \\bwww\\.[\\w-]+\\.[\\w./?&amp;@#-]*[\\w/-]
294 URxvt.matcher.pattern.2: \\B(/\\S+?):(\\d+)(?=:|$)
295 URxvt.matcher.launcher.2: gvim +$2 $1
296
297</pre>
298 </dd>
299 <dt>xim-onthespot</dt>
300 <dd>
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
308
309</pre>
310 </dd>
311 <dt>kuake&lt;hotkey&gt;</dt>
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>
325 </dd>
326 <dt>block-graphics-to-ascii</dt>
327 <dd>
328 <p>A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal
329by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a
330similar-looking ascii character.</p>
331 </dd>
332 <dt>digital-clock</dt>
333 <dd>
104Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay. 334 <p>Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.</p>
105</dd> 335 </dd>
106<p></p> 336 <dt>remote-clipboard</dt>
107<dt><strong><a name="item_example_2drefresh_2dhooks">example-refresh-hooks</a></strong><br />
108</dt>
109<dd> 337 <dd>
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'

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>

381the double <code>/</code> characters as comment start. Use <code>\057\057</code> instead,
