181 root 1.16 .IP "selection (enabled by default)" 4
182     .IX Item "selection (enabled by default)"
183 root 1.20 (More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent
184 root 1.25 when the user extends selections (double\-click and further clicks). Right
185     now, it tries to select words, urls and complete shell-quoted
186     arguments, which is very convenient, too, if your \fIls\fR supports
187     \&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-quoting\-style=shell\*(C'\fR.
188     .Sp
189     A double-click usually selects the word under the cursor, further clicks
190     will enlarge the selection.
191 root 1.9 .Sp
192 root 1.26 The selection works by trying to match a number of regexes and displaying
193     them in increasing order of length. You can add your own regexes by
194     specifying resources of the form:
195     .Sp
196     .Vb 3
197     \& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: perl-regex
198     \& URxvt.selection.pattern-1: perl-regex
199     \& ...
200     .Ve
201     .Sp
202     The index number (0, 1...) must not have any holes, and each regex must
203     contain at least one pair of capturing parentheses, which will be used for
204     the match. For example, the followign adds a regex that matches everything
205     between two vertical bars:
206     .Sp
207     .Vb 1
208     \& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: \e\e|([^|]+)\e\e|
209     .Ve
210     .Sp
211     You can look at the source of the selection extension to see more
212     interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.
213     .Sp
214 root 1.32 This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:
215 root 1.6 .RS 4

226 root 1.16 .IP "option-popup (enabled by default)" 4
227     .IX Item "option-popup (enabled by default)"
228 root 1.17 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl\-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at
229 root 1.16 runtime.
230 root 1.17 .IP "selection-popup (enabled by default)" 4
231     .IX Item "selection-popup (enabled by default)"
232     Binds a popup menu to Ctrl\-Button3 that lets you convert the selection
233 root 1.20 text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl
234 root 1.36 evaluation, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content.
235 root 1.34 .Sp
236     Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference
237     onto \f(CW\*(C`@{ $term\-\*(C'\fR{selection_popup_hook} }>, that is called whenever the
238     popup is displayed.
239     .Sp
240     It's sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The selection
241     is in \f(CW$_\fR, which can be used to decide wether to add something or not.
242     It should either return nothing or a string and a code reference. The
243     string will be used as button text and the code reference will be called
244     when the button gets activated and should transform \f(CW$_\fR.
245     .Sp
246     The following will add an entry \f(CW\*(C`a to b\*(C'\fR that transforms all \f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fRs in
247     the selection to \f(CW\*(C`b\*(C'\fRs, but only if the selection currently contains any
248     \&\f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fRs:
249     .Sp
250     .Vb 4
251     \& push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
252     \& /a/ ? ("a to be" => sub { s/a/b/g }
253     \& : ()
254     \& };
255     .Ve
256 root 1.19 .IP "searchable\-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)" 4
257     .IX Item "searchable-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)"
258     Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
259 root 1.25 by a hotkey (default: \f(CW\*(C`M\-s\*(C'\fR). While in search mode, normal terminal
260     input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the
261     screen.
262     .Sp
263     Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental
264     search. \f(CW\*(C`BackSpace\*(C'\fR removes a character from the regex, \f(CW\*(C`Up\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Down\*(C'\fR
265     search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, \f(CW\*(C`End\*(C'\fR jumps to the
266     bottom. \f(CW\*(C`Escape\*(C'\fR leaves search mode and returns to the point where search
267     was started, while \f(CW\*(C`Enter\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`Return\*(C'\fR stay at the current position and
268     additionally stores the first match in the current line into the primary
269     selection.
270 root 1.37 .IP "readline (enabled by default)" 4
271     .IX Item "readline (enabled by default)"
272     A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier. At the
273     moment, it reacts to clicking with the left mouse button by trying to
274     move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many
275     cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (the this only works
276     for programs that correctly support wide characters).
277     .Sp
278     To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
279     .RS 4
280 root 1.38 .IP "\- the tty is in \s-1ICANON\s0 state." 4
281     .IX Item "- the tty is in ICANON state."
282 root 1.37 .PD 0
283 root 1.38 .IP "\- the text cursor is visible." 4
284     .IX Item "- the text cursor is visible."
285 root 1.37 .IP "\- the primary screen is currently being displayed." 4
286     .IX Item "- the primary screen is currently being displayed."
287 root 1.38 .IP "\- the mouse is on the same (multi\-row\-) line as the text cursor." 4
288     .IX Item "- the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor."
289 root 1.37 .RE
290     .RS 4
291     .PD
292     .Sp
293     The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive clicks
294     might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.
295     .RE
296 root 1.26 .IP "selection-autotransform" 4
297     .IX Item "selection-autotransform"
298     This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
299     whenever a selection is made.
300     .Sp
301     It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single \f(CW\*(C`s///\*(C'\fR
302     operator) that modify \f(CW$_\fR as resources:
303     .Sp
304     .Vb 3
305     \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
306     \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
307     \& ...
308     .Ve
309     .Sp
310     For example, the following will transform selections of the form
311     \&\f(CW\*(C`filename:number\*(C'\fR, often seen in compiler messages, into \f(CW\*(C`vi +$filename
312     $word\*(C'\fR:
313     .Sp
314     .Vb 1
315 root 1.29 \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\e\ed+):?$/vi +$2 \e\eQ$1\e\eE\e\ex0d/
316 root 1.26 .Ve
317     .Sp
318     And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can
319     paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
320     .Sp
321     .Vb 1
322 root 1.34 \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\e\ed+):?$/:e \e\eQ$1\e\eE\e\ex0d:$2\e\ex0d/
323 root 1.26 .Ve
324 root 1.27 .Sp
325     Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)
326 root 1.28 .Sp
327     To expand the example above to typical perl error messages (\*(L"\s-1XXX\s0 at
328     \&\s-1FILENAME\s0 line \s-1YYY\s0.\*(R"), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
329     .Sp
330     .Vb 2
331 root 1.34 \& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \e\ed+[,.])
332     \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\e\ed+)[,.]$/:e \e\eQ$1\eE\e\ex0d:$2\e\ex0d/
333 root 1.28 .Ve
334     .Sp
335     The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of
336     every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms
337     the message into vi commands to load the file.
338 root 1.35 .IP "tabbed" 4
339     .IX Item "tabbed"
340     This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that
341     is, it implements what is commonly refered to as \*(L"tabbed terminal\*(R". The topmost line
342     displays a \*(L"[\s-1NEW\s0]\*(R" button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one
343     button per tab.
344     .Sp
345 root 1.36 Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing \fBShift-Left\fR and
346     \&\fBShift-Right\fR will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
347     while \fBShift-Down\fR creates a new tab.
348 root 1.14 .IP "mark-urls" 4
349     .IX Item "mark-urls"
350 root 1.24 Uses per-line display filtering (\f(CW\*(C`on_line_update\*(C'\fR) to underline urls and
351 root 1.25 make them clickable. When middle\-clicked, the program specified in the
352     resource \f(CW\*(C`urlLauncher\*(C'\fR (default \f(CW\*(C`x\-www\-browser\*(C'\fR) will be started with
353     the \s-1URL\s0 as first argument.
354 root 1.34 .IP "automove-background" 4
355     .IX Item "automove-background"
356     This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the background pixmap offset
357     to the window position, in effect creating the same effect as pseudo transparency with
358     a custom pixmap. No scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple:
359     .Sp
360     .Vb 1
361     \& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
362     .Ve
363 root 1.14 .IP "block-graphics-to-ascii" 4
364     .IX Item "block-graphics-to-ascii"
365     A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal,
366     by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a
367     similar-looking ascii character.
368 root 1.26 .IP "digital-clock" 4
369     .IX Item "digital-clock"
370     Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
371 root 1.8 .IP "example-refresh-hooks" 4
372     .IX Item "example-refresh-hooks"
373 root 1.6 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the
374     window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own
375     overlays or changes.
376 root 1.33 .IP "selection-pastebin" 4
377     .IX Item "selection-pastebin"
378     This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection as
379     textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is
380     not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to
381     \&\fI/tmp\fR directly.).
382     .Sp
383     It listens to the \f(CW\*(C`selection\-pastebin:remote\-pastebin\*(C'\fR keyboard command,
384     i.e.
385     .Sp
386     .Vb 1
387     \& URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
388     .Ve
389     .Sp
390     Pressing this combination runs a command with \f(CW\*(C`%\*(C'\fR replaced by the name of
391     the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
392     .Sp
393     .Vb 1
394     \& URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
395     .Ve
396     .Sp
397     And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people around
398     here :)
399     .Sp
400     The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so
401     the same content should lead to the same filename.
402     .Sp
403     After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given
404     in the \f(CW\*(C`selection\-pastebin\-url\*(C'\fR resource (again, the % is the placeholder
405     for the filename):

420     When objects are destroyed on the \*(C+ side, the perl object hashes are
421     emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and

442     Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
443     for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter to
444     hooks. So extensions can use their \f(CW$self\fR object without having to think
445     about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members that
446     begin with an underscore character \f(CW\*(C`_\*(C'\fR: these are reserved for internal
