<p>Every time a terminal object gets created, extension scripts specified via |
70 |
the <code>perl</code> resource are loaded and associated with it.</p> |
71 |
<p>Scripts are compiled in a 'use strict' and 'use utf8' environment, and |
72 |
thus must be encoded as UTF-8.</p> |
73 |
<p>Each script will only ever be loaded once, even in rxvtd, where |
74 |
scripts will be shared (but not enabled) for all terminals.</p> |
75 |
<p>You can disable the embedded perl interpreter by setting both "perl-ext" |
76 |
and "perl-ext-common" resources to the empty string.</p> |

<p>This section describes the extensions delivered with this release. You can |
82 |
find them in <cite>/opt/rxvt/lib/urxvt/perl/</cite>.</p> |
83 |
<p>You can activate them like this:</p> |
84 |
<pre> rxvt -pe <extensionname> |
85 |
|
86 |
</pre> |
87 |
<p>Or by adding them to the resource for extensions loaded by default:</p> |
88 |
<pre> URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform |
89 |
|
90 |
</pre> |
91 |
<dl> |
92 |
<dt>selection (enabled by default)</dt> |
93 |
<dd> |
94 |
<p>(More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent |
95 |
when the user extends selections (double-click and further clicks). Right |
96 |
now, it tries to select words, urls and complete shell-quoted |
97 |
arguments, which is very convenient, too, if your <cite>ls</cite> supports |
98 |
<code>--quoting-style=shell</code>.</p> |
99 |
<p>A double-click usually selects the word under the cursor, further clicks |
100 |
will enlarge the selection.</p> |
101 |
<p>The selection works by trying to match a number of regexes and displaying |
102 |
them in increasing order of length. You can add your own regexes by |
103 |
specifying 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 |
110 |
contain at least one pair of capturing parentheses, which will be used for |
111 |
the match. For example, the following adds a regex that matches everything |
112 |
between two vertical bars:</p> |
113 |
<pre> URxvt.selection.pattern-0: \\|([^|]+)\\| |
114 |
|
115 |
</pre> |
116 |
<p>Another example: Programs I use often output "absolute path: " at the |
117 |
beginning of a line when they process multiple files. The following |
118 |
pattern matches the filename (note, there is a single space at the very |
119 |
end):</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 |
124 |
interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.</p> |
125 |
<p>This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:</p> |
126 |
<p> |
127 |
<dl> |
128 |
<dt>rot13</dt> |
129 |
<dd> |
130 |
<p>Rot-13 the selection when activated. Used via keyboard trigger:</p> |
131 |
<pre> URxvt.keysym.C-M-r: perl:selection:rot13 |
132 |
|
133 |
</pre> |
134 |
</dd> |
135 |
</dl> |
136 |
</p> |
137 |
</dd> |
138 |
<dt>option-popup (enabled by default)</dt> |
139 |
<dd> |
140 |
<p>Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at |
141 |
runtime.</p> |
142 |
<p>Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference |
143 |
onto <code>@{ $term-</code>{option_popup_hook} }>, which gets called whenever the |
144 |
popup is being displayed.</p> |
145 |
<p>Its sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. It should |
146 |
either return nothing or a string, the initial boolean value and a code |
147 |
reference. The string will be used as button text and the code reference |
148 |
will be called when the toggle changes, with the new boolean value as |
149 |
first argument.</p> |
150 |
<p>The following will add an entry <code>myoption</code> that changes |
151 |
<code>$self-</code>{myoption}>:</p> |
152 |
<pre> push @{ $self->{term}{option_popup_hook} }, sub { |
153 |
("my option" => $myoption, sub { $self->{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 |
161 |
text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl |
162 |
evaluation, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content.</p> |
163 |
<p>Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference |
164 |
onto <code>@{ $term-</code>{selection_popup_hook} }>, which gets called whenever the |
165 |
popup is being displayed.</p> |
166 |
<p>Its sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The selection |
167 |
is in <code>$_</code>, which can be used to decide whether to add something or not. |
168 |
It should either return nothing or a string and a code reference. The |
169 |
string will be used as button text and the code reference will be called |
170 |
when 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 |
172 |
the selection to <code>b</code>s, but only if the selection currently contains any |
173 |
<code>a</code>s:</p> |
174 |
<pre> push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub { |
175 |
/a/ ? ("a to b" => sub { s/a/b/g } |
176 |
: () |
177 |
}; |
178 |
|
179 |
</pre> |
180 |
</dd> |
181 |
<dt>searchable-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)</dt> |
182 |
<dd> |
183 |
<p>Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered |
184 |
by a hotkey (default: <code>M-s</code>). While in search mode, normal terminal |
185 |
input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the |
186 |
screen.</p> |
187 |
<p>Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental |
188 |
search. <code>BackSpace</code> removes a character from the regex, <code>Up</code> and <code>Down</code> |
189 |
search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, <code>End</code> jumps to the |
190 |
bottom. <code>Escape</code> leaves search mode and returns to the point where search |
191 |
was started, while <code>Enter</code> or <code>Return</code> stay at the current position and |
192 |
additionally stores the first match in the current line into the primary |
193 |
selection if the <code>Shift</code> modifier is active.</p> |
194 |
<p>The regex defaults to "(?i)", resulting in a case-insensitive search. To |
195 |
get a case-sensitive search you can delete this prefix using <code>BackSpace</code> |
196 |
or simply use an uppercase character which removes the "(?i)" 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 |
202 |
the moment, it reacts to clicking shift-left mouse button by trying to |
203 |
move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many |
204 |
cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (the this only works |
205 |
for 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 |
216 |
might 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 |
221 |
whenever a selection is made.</p> |
222 |
<p>It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single <code>s///</code> |
223 |
operator) 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$1\\E\\x0d/ |
233 |
|
234 |
</pre> |
235 |
<p>And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can |
236 |
paste directly into your (vi :) editor:</p> |
237 |
<pre> URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/ |
238 |
|
239 |
</pre> |
240 |
<p>Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)</p> |
241 |
<p>To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at |
242 |
FILENAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:</p> |
243 |
<pre> URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.]) |
244 |
URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/: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 |
248 |
every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms |
249 |
the 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 |
254 |
is, it implements what is commonly referred to as "tabbed terminal". The topmost line |
255 |
displays a "[NEW]" button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one |
256 |
button 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, |
259 |
while <strong>Shift-Down</strong> creates a new tab.</p> |
260 |
<p>The tabbar itself can be configured similarly to a normal terminal, but |
261 |
with a resource class of <code>URxvt.tabbed</code>. In addition, it supports the |
262 |
following four resources (shown with defaults):</p> |
263 |
<pre> URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-fg: <colour-index, default 3> |
264 |
URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-bg: <colour-index, default 0> |
265 |
URxvt.tabbed.tab-fg: <colour-index, default 0> |
266 |
URxvt.tabbed.tab-bg: <colour-index, default 1> |
267 |
|
268 |
</pre> |
269 |
<p>See <i>COLOR AND GRAPHICS</i> in the rxvt(1) manpage for valid |
270 |
indices.</p> |
271 |
</dd> |
272 |
<dt>matcher</dt> |
273 |
<dd> |
274 |
<p>Uses per-line display filtering (<code>on_line_update</code>) to underline text |
275 |
matching a certain pattern and make it clickable. When clicked with the |
276 |
mouse button specified in the <code>matcher.button</code> resource (default 2, or |
277 |
middle), the program specified in the <code>matcher.launcher</code> resource |
278 |
(default, the <code>urlLauncher</code> resource, <code>sensible-browser</code>) will be started |
279 |
with the matched text as first argument. The default configuration is |
280 |
suitable for matching URLs and launching a web browser, like the |
281 |
former "mark-urls" 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 |
284 |
with numbered patterns, in a manner similar to the "selection" extension. |
285 |
The 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. |
287 |
Simply bind a keysym to "perl:matcher" 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./?&@#-]*[\\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 |
302 |
not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work well with |
303 |
OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at least for SCIM and |
304 |
kinput2.</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<hotkey></dt> |
312 |
<dd> |
313 |
<p>A very primitive quake-console-like extension. It was inspired by a |
314 |
description of how the programs <code>kuake</code> and <code>yakuake</code> work: Whenever the |
315 |
user presses a global accelerator key (by default <code>F10</code>), the terminal |
316 |
will show or hide itself. Another press of the accelerator key will hide |
317 |
or 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 |
320 |
space 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 |
322 |
extension 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 |
329 |
by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a |
330 |
similar-looking ascii character.</p> |
331 |
</dd> |
332 |
<dt>digital-clock</dt> |
333 |
<dd> |
334 |
<p>Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.</p> |
335 |
</dd> |
336 |
<dt>remote-clipboard</dt> |
337 |
<dd> |
338 |
<p>Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the |
339 |
selection popup that allows one to run external commands to store the |
340 |
selection somewhere and fetch it again.</p> |
341 |
<p>We use it to implement a "distributed selection mechanism", which just |
342 |
means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another |
343 |
reads 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 |
346 |
selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should provide |
347 |
the 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 >/tmp/distributed-selection' |
350 |
URxvt.remote-selection.fetch: rsh ruth 'cat /tmp/distributed-selection' |
351 |
|
352 |
</pre> |
353 |
</dd> |
354 |
<dt>selection-pastebin</dt> |
355 |
<dd> |
356 |
<p>This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection as |
357 |
textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is |
358 |
not 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, |
361 |
i.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 |
366 |
the 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 |
371 |
here :)</p> |
372 |
<p>The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so |
373 |
the same content should lead to the same filename.</p> |
374 |
<p>After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given |
375 |
in the <code>selection-pastebin-url</code> resource (again, the % is the placeholder |
376 |
for the filename):</p> |
377 |
<pre> URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/% |
378 |
|
379 |
</pre> |
380 |
<p><i>Note to xrdb users:</i> xrdb uses the C preprocessor, which might interpret |
381 |
the double <code>/</code> characters as comment start. Use <code>\057\057</code> instead, |
382 |
which works regardless of wether xrdb is used to parse the resource file |
383 |
or not.</p> |

<p>All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical |

reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you |

405 |
<p>When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are |

<p>Every perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created |
434 |
for each terminal, and each terminal has its own set of extenion objects, |
435 |
which are passed as the first parameter to hooks. So extensions can use |
436 |
their <code>$self</code> object without having to think about clashes with other |
437 |
extensions or other terminals, with the exception of methods and members |
438 |
that begin with an underscore character <code>_</code>: these are reserved for |
439 |
internal use.</p> |
440 |
<p>Although it isn't a <code>urxvt::term</code> object, you can call all methods of the |
441 |
<code>urxvt::term</code> class on this object.</p> |

443 |
<dl> |
444 |
<dt>$urxvt_term = $self->{term}</dt> |
445 |
<dd> |
446 |

the in the <code>Extension Objects</code> section.</p> |
468 |
<p><strong>All</strong> of these hooks must return a boolean value. If any of the called |

<dt>on_init $term</dt> |
474 |
<dd> |
475 |
<p>Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before |
476 |
windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to |
477 |
call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics |
478 |
have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources |
479 |
and options, though. For many purposes the <code>on_start</code> hook is a better |
480 |
place.</p> |
481 |
</dd> |
482 |
<dt>on_start $term</dt> |
483 |
<dd> |
484 |
<p>Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before |

trying to map (display) the toplevel and returning to the main loop.</p> |
486 |
</dd> |
487 |
<dt>on_destroy $term</dt> |
488 |

still fully functional (not for long, though).</p> |
491 |
</dd> |
492 |
<dt>on_reset $term</dt> |
493 |
<dd> |
494 |
<p>Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing or |
495 |
control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related |
496 |
variables.</p> |
497 |

502 |
<dt>on_child_exit $term, $status</dt> |
503 |
<dd> |

506 |
</dd> |
507 |
<dt>on_sel_make $term, $eventtime</dt> |
508 |
<dd> |
509 |
<p>Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the |
510 |
selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the |
511 |
selection will be honored.</p> |
512 |
<p>Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you |
513 |
have to make a selection yourself by calling <code>$term->selection_grab</code>.</p> |
514 |
</dd> |
515 |
<dt>on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime</dt> |
516 |
<dd> |

<p>Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is |
518 |
requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed |
519 |
by calling <code>$term->selection</code>.</p> |
520 |
<p>Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be highlighted.</p> |
521 |
</dd> |
522 |
<dt>on_sel_extend $term</dt> |
523 |
<dd> |
524 |
<p>Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double |
525 |
click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or |
526 |
should extend the selection itself and return true to suppress the built-in |
527 |
processing. This can happen multiple times, as long as the callback |
528 |
returns true, it will be called on every further click by the user and is |
529 |
supposed to enlarge the selection more and more, if possible.</p> |
530 |
<p>See the <cite>selection</cite> example extension.</p> |
531 |
</dd> |
532 |
<dt>on_view_change $term, $offset</dt> |
533 |
<dd> |
534 |
<p>Called whenever the view offset changes, i.e. the user or program |
535 |
scrolls. Offset <code>0</code> means display the normal terminal, positive values |
536 |
show this many lines of scrollback.</p> |
537 |
</dd> |
538 |
<dt>on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved</dt> |
539 |
<dd> |
540 |
<p>Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback |
541 |
buffer. <code>$lines</code> is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger |
542 |
than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.</p> |
543 |
<p>It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines - 1, |
544 |
$nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). <code>$saved</code> is the total |
545 |
number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.</p> |
546 |
</dd> |
547 |
<dt>on_osc_seq $term, $op, $args</dt> |
548 |
<dd> |
549 |
<p>Called on every OSC sequence and can be used to suppress it or modify its |
550 |
behaviour. The default should be to return an empty list. A true value |
551 |
suppresses execution of the request completely. Make sure you don't get |
552 |
confused by recursive invocations when you output an osc sequence within |
553 |
this callback.</p> |
554 |
<p><code>on_osc_seq_perl</code> should be used for new behaviour.</p> |
555 |
</dd> |
556 |
<dt>on_osc_seq_perl $term, $string</dt> |
557 |
<dd> |
558 |
<p>Called whenever the <strong>ESC ] 777 ; string ST</strong> command sequence (OSC = |
559 |
operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state |
560 |
information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the |
561 |
string should start with the extension name and a colon, to distinguish |
562 |
it from commands for other extensions, and this might be enforced in the |
563 |
future.</p> |
564 |
<p>Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you receive, |
565 |
as its source can not easily be controlled (e-mail content, messages from |
566 |
other users on the same system etc.).</p> |
567 |
</dd> |
568 |
<dt>on_add_lines $term, $string</dt> |
569 |
<dd> |
570 |
<p>Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as argument. You |
571 |
can filter/change and output the text yourself by returning a true value |
572 |
and calling <code>$term->scr_add_lines</code> yourself. Please note that this |
573 |
might be very slow, however, as your hook is called for <strong>all</strong> text being |
574 |
output.</p> |
575 |
</dd> |
576 |
<dt>on_tt_write $term, $octets</dt> |
577 |
<dd> |
578 |
<p>Called whenever some data is written to the tty/pty and can be used to |
579 |
suppress or filter tty input.</p> |
580 |
</dd> |
581 |
<dt>on_line_update $term, $row</dt> |
582 |
<dd> |
583 |
<p>Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter |
584 |
screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only lines |
585 |
that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons, |
586 |
not always immediately.</p> |
587 |
<p>The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line spans |
588 |
multiple rows.</p> |
589 |
<p>Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get called |
590 |
later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts change), so |
591 |
you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set them.</p> |
592 |
</dd> |
593 |
<dt>on_refresh_begin $term</dt> |
594 |
<dd> |
595 |
<p>Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay |
596 |
or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and |
597 |
restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display |
598 |
code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.</p> |
599 |
</dd> |
600 |
<dt>on_refresh_end $term</dt> |
601 |
<dd> |
602 |
<p>Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See <code>on_refresh_begin</code>.</p> |
603 |
</dd> |
604 |
<dt>on_user_command $term, $string</dt> |
605 |
<dd> |
606 |
<p>Called whenever a user-configured event is being activated (e.g. via |
607 |
a <code>perl:string</code> action bound to a key, see description of the <strong>keysym</strong> |
608 |
resource in the rxvt(1) manpage).</p> |
609 |
<p>The event is simply the action string. This interface is assumed to change |
610 |
slightly in the future.</p> |
611 |
</dd> |
612 |
<dt>on_resize_all_windows $tern, $new_width, $new_height</dt> |
613 |
<dd> |
614 |
<p>Called just after the new window size has been calculated, but before |
615 |
windows are actually being resized or hints are being set. If this hook |
616 |
returns TRUE, setting of the window hints is being skipped.</p> |
617 |
</dd> |
618 |
<dt>on_x_event $term, $event</dt> |
619 |
<dd> |
620 |
<p>Called on every X event received on the vt window (and possibly other |
621 |
windows). Should only be used as a last resort. Most event structure |
622 |
members are not passed.</p> |
623 |
</dd> |
624 |
<dt>on_root_event $term, $event</dt> |
625 |
<dd> |
626 |
<p>Like <code>on_x_event</code>, but is called for events on the root window.</p> |
627 |
</dd> |
628 |
<dt>on_focus_in $term</dt> |
629 |
<dd> |
630 |
<p>Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode |
631 |
does focus in processing.</p> |
632 |
</dd> |
633 |
<dt>on_focus_out $term</dt> |
634 |
<dd> |
635 |
<p>Called whenever the window loses keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode does |
636 |
focus out processing.</p> |

648 |
<p>Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the terminal If |
649 |
the hook returns true, then the even will be ignored by rxvt-unicode.</p> |
650 |
<p>The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the XEvent |
651 |
manpage), with the additional members <code>row</code> and <code>col</code>, which are the |
652 |
(real, not screen-based) row and column under the mouse cursor.</p> |
653 |
<p><code>on_key_press</code> additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would |
654 |

<p>The sole purpose of this class is to deliver an interface to the |

812 |
further programming. The only exception is that you cannot wait on |

condition variables, but non-blocking condvar use is ok. What this means |

is that you cannot use blocking APIs, but the non-blocking variant should |

823 |
<p>Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with system |
824 |
<code>$rxvtname, arg...</code>. <code>$envhashref</code> must be a reference to a <code>%ENV</code>-like |
825 |
hash which defines the environment of the new terminal.</p> |
826 |
<p>Croaks (and probably outputs an error message) if the new instance |
827 |
couldn't be created. Returns <code>undef</code> if the new instance didn't |
828 |
initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The <code>init</code> and |
829 |
<code>start</code> hooks will be called before this call returns, and are free to |
830 |
refer to global data (which is race free).</p> |

<dt>$term->exec_async ($cmd[, @args])</dt> |
839 |
<dd> |
840 |
<p>Works like the combination of the <code>fork</code>/<code>exec</code> builtins, which executes |
841 |
("starts") programs in the background. This function takes care of setting |
842 |
the user environment before exec'ing the command (e.g. <code>PATH</code>) and should |
843 |
be preferred over explicit calls to <code>exec</code> or <code>system</code>.</p> |

<p>Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and |

optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the <code>init</code> |
866 |
hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as <code>undef</code>.</p> |
867 |
<p>The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding |
868 |

869 |
to be converted from the used encoding to text.</p> |
870 |
<p>Resource names are as defined in <cite>src/rsinc.h</cite>. Colours can be specified |

as resource names of the form <code>color+<index></code>, e.g. <code>color+5</code>. (will |

likely change).</p> |

width/height. <code>$rstyle</code> defines the initial rendition style |
951 |
(default: <code>OVERLAY_RSTYLE</code>).</p> |
952 |
<p>If <code>$border</code> is <code>2</code> (default), then a decorative border will be put |

around the box.</p> |
954 |
<p>If either <code>$x</code> or <code>$y</code> is negative, then this is counted from the |

964 |
text in rxvt-unicode's special encoding and an array of rendition values |
965 |
at a specific position inside the overlay.</p> |

999 |
<p>XORs the rendition values in the given span with the provided value |
1000 |

<p>Similar to <code>scr_xor_span</code>, but xors a rectangle instead. Trailing |
1006 |
whitespace will additionally be xored with the <code>$rstyle2</code>, which defaults |
1007 |
to <code>RS_RVid | RS_Uline</code>, which removes reverse video again and underlines |

<dd> |
1016 |
<p>Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the application |
1017 |
running inside the terminal. It may not contain command sequences (escape |
1018 |
codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage returns and tabs. The |
1019 |
string is a normal text string, not in locale-dependent encoding.</p> |
1020 |
<p>Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might be |
1021 |
confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful inside a |
1022 |

<dt>$term->cmd_parse ($octets)</dt> |
1029 |
<dd> |
1030 |
<p>Similar to <code>scr_add_lines</code>, but the argument must be in the |

1037 |
pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first |
1038 |
to the locale-specific encoding using <code>$term->locale_encode</code>.</p> |

<p>Replaces the event mask of the pty watcher by the given event mask. Can |
1043 |
be used to suppress input and output handling to the pty/tty. See the |

<p>Returns the text of the entire row with number <code>$row_number</code>. Row <code>0</code> |

terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line <code>-1</code> and extends to |
1145 |
line <code>-$term->nsaved</code>. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line |
1146 |
is requested.</p> |
1147 |
<p>If <code>$new_text</code> is specified, it will replace characters in the current |
1148 |
line, starting at column <code>$start_col</code> (default <code>0</code>), which is useful |
1149 |
to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will |
1150 |
automatically be updated.</p> |
1151 |
<p><code>$text</code> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more |
1152 |
than one cell when displayed are padded with <code>$urxvt::NOCHAR</code> (chr 65535) |
1153 |
characters. Characters with combining characters and other characters that |
1154 |
do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with characters |
1155 |
in the private use area.</p> |
1156 |
<p>You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is |
1157 |
that <code>substr</code> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on |
1158 |
characters.</p> |
1159 |
<p>The methods <code>$term->special_encode</code> and <code>$term->special_decode</code> |
1160 |
can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.</p> |
