<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 |

<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 |

<p><i>Note to xrdb users:</i> xrdb uses the C preprocessor, which might interpret |

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

which works regardless of wether xrdb is used to parse the resource file |

<p>All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical |
| 401 |
reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you |
| 402 |
like. All members starting with an underscore (such as <code>_ptr</code> or |

<code>_hook</code>) are reserved for internal uses and <strong>MUST NOT</strong> be accessed or |
| 404 |
modified).</p> |

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

emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and |

the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the |

<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> |

<p>Although it isn't a <code>urxvt::term</code> object, you can call all methods of the |

the in the <code>Extension Objects</code> section.</p> |

<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 |

place.</p> |

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 |

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

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 |

<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> |

<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> |

</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> |

</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> |

</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> |

<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 |

<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> |

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

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 |

<p>Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with system |

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 |

<p>Works like the combination of the <code>fork</code>/<code>exec</code> builtins, which executes |

("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 |

optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the <code>init</code> |

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 |

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 |

<p>Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might be |

<dt>$text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])</dt> |

<dd> |

<p>Returns the text of the entire row with number <code>$row_number</code>. Row <code>0</code> |
| 1143 |
is the topmost terminal line, row <code>$term->$ncol-1</code> is the bottommost |
| 1144 |
terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line <code>-1</code> and extends to |
| 1145 |
line <code>-$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> |
