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 root 1.39 Another example: Programs I use often output \*(L"absolute path: \*(R" at the
212     beginning of a line when they process multiple files. The following
213     pattern matches the filename (note, there is a single space at the very
214     end):
215     .Sp
216     .Vb 1
217     \& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ^(/[^:]+):\e
218     .Ve
219     .Sp
220 root 1.26 You can look at the source of the selection extension to see more
221     interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.

235 root 1.16 .IP "option-popup (enabled by default)" 4
236     .IX Item "option-popup (enabled by default)"
237 root 1.17 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl\-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at
238 root 1.16 runtime.
239 root 1.17 .IP "selection-popup (enabled by default)" 4
240     .IX Item "selection-popup (enabled by default)"
241     Binds a popup menu to Ctrl\-Button3 that lets you convert the selection
242 root 1.20 text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl
243 root 1.36 evaluation, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content.
244 root 1.34 .Sp
245     Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference
246     onto \f(CW\*(C`@{ $term\-\*(C'\fR{selection_popup_hook} }>, that is called whenever the
247     popup is displayed.
248     .Sp
249     It's sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The selection
250     is in \f(CW$_\fR, which can be used to decide wether to add something or not.
251     It should either return nothing or a string and a code reference. The
252     string will be used as button text and the code reference will be called
253     when the button gets activated and should transform \f(CW$_\fR.
254     .Sp
255     The following will add an entry \f(CW\*(C`a to b\*(C'\fR that transforms all \f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fRs in
256     the selection to \f(CW\*(C`b\*(C'\fRs, but only if the selection currently contains any
257     \&\f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fRs:
258     .Sp
259     .Vb 4
260     \& push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
261     \& /a/ ? ("a to be" => sub { s/a/b/g }
262     \& : ()
263     \& };
264     .Ve
265 root 1.19 .IP "searchable\-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)" 4
266     .IX Item "searchable-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)"
267     Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
268 root 1.25 by a hotkey (default: \f(CW\*(C`M\-s\*(C'\fR). While in search mode, normal terminal
269     input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the
270     screen.
271     .Sp
272     Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental
273     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
274     search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, \f(CW\*(C`End\*(C'\fR jumps to the
275     bottom. \f(CW\*(C`Escape\*(C'\fR leaves search mode and returns to the point where search
276     was started, while \f(CW\*(C`Enter\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`Return\*(C'\fR stay at the current position and
277     additionally stores the first match in the current line into the primary
278     selection.
279 root 1.37 .IP "readline (enabled by default)" 4
280     .IX Item "readline (enabled by default)"
281     A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier. At the
282     moment, it reacts to clicking with the left mouse button by trying to
283     move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many
284     cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (the this only works
285     for programs that correctly support wide characters).
286     .Sp
287     To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
288     .RS 4
289 root 1.38 .IP "\- the tty is in \s-1ICANON\s0 state." 4
290     .IX Item "- the tty is in ICANON state."
291 root 1.37 .PD 0
292 root 1.38 .IP "\- the text cursor is visible." 4
293     .IX Item "- the text cursor is visible."
294 root 1.37 .IP "\- the primary screen is currently being displayed." 4
295     .IX Item "- the primary screen is currently being displayed."
296 root 1.38 .IP "\- the mouse is on the same (multi\-row\-) line as the text cursor." 4
297     .IX Item "- the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor."
298 root 1.37 .RE
299     .RS 4
300     .PD
301     .Sp
302     The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive clicks
303     might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.
304     .RE
305 root 1.26 .IP "selection-autotransform" 4
306     .IX Item "selection-autotransform"
307     This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
308     whenever a selection is made.
309     .Sp
310     It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single \f(CW\*(C`s///\*(C'\fR
311     operator) that modify \f(CW$_\fR as resources:
312     .Sp
313     .Vb 3
314     \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
315     \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
316     \& ...
317     .Ve
318     .Sp
319     For example, the following will transform selections of the form
320     \&\f(CW\*(C`filename:number\*(C'\fR, often seen in compiler messages, into \f(CW\*(C`vi +$filename
321     $word\*(C'\fR:
322     .Sp
323     .Vb 1
324 root 1.29 \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\e\ed+):?$/vi +$2 \e\eQ$1\e\eE\e\ex0d/
325 root 1.26 .Ve
326     .Sp
327     And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can
328     paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
329     .Sp
330     .Vb 1
331 root 1.34 \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\e\ed+):?$/:e \e\eQ$1\e\eE\e\ex0d:$2\e\ex0d/
332 root 1.26 .Ve
333 root 1.27 .Sp
334     Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)
335 root 1.28 .Sp
336     To expand the example above to typical perl error messages (\*(L"\s-1XXX\s0 at
337     \&\s-1FILENAME\s0 line \s-1YYY\s0.\*(R"), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
338     .Sp
339     .Vb 2
340 root 1.34 \& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \e\ed+[,.])
341     \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\e\ed+)[,.]$/:e \e\eQ$1\eE\e\ex0d:$2\e\ex0d/
342 root 1.28 .Ve
343     .Sp
344     The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of
345     every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms
346     the message into vi commands to load the file.
347 root 1.35 .IP "tabbed" 4
348     .IX Item "tabbed"
349     This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that
350     is, it implements what is commonly refered to as \*(L"tabbed terminal\*(R". The topmost line
351     displays a \*(L"[\s-1NEW\s0]\*(R" button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one
352     button per tab.
353     .Sp
354 root 1.36 Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing \fBShift-Left\fR and
355     \&\fBShift-Right\fR will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
356     while \fBShift-Down\fR creates a new tab.
357 root 1.14 .IP "mark-urls" 4
358     .IX Item "mark-urls"
359 root 1.24 Uses per-line display filtering (\f(CW\*(C`on_line_update\*(C'\fR) to underline urls and
360 root 1.25 make them clickable. When middle\-clicked, the program specified in the
361     resource \f(CW\*(C`urlLauncher\*(C'\fR (default \f(CW\*(C`x\-www\-browser\*(C'\fR) will be started with
362     the \s-1URL\s0 as first argument.
363 root 1.39 .IP "xim-onthespot" 4
364     .IX Item "xim-onthespot"
365     This (experimental) perl extension implements OnTheSpot editing. It does
366     not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work well with
367     OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at leats for \s-1SCIM\s0 and
368     kinput2.
369     .Sp
370     You enable it by specifying this extension and a preedit style of
371     \&\f(CW\*(C`OnTheSpot\*(C'\fR, i.e.:

375     .Ve
376 root 1.34 .IP "automove-background" 4
377     .IX Item "automove-background"
378     This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the background pixmap offset
379     to the window position, in effect creating the same effect as pseudo transparency with
380     a custom pixmap. No scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple:

386     .IX Item "block-graphics-to-ascii"
387     A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal,
388     by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a
389     similar-looking ascii character.
390 root 1.26 .IP "digital-clock" 4
391     .IX Item "digital-clock"
392     Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
393 root 1.40 .IP "remote-clipboard" 4
394     .IX Item "remote-clipboard"
395     Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
396     selection popup that allows one ti run external commands to store the
397     selection somewhere and fetch it again.
398     .Sp
399     We use it to implement a \*(L"distributed selection mechanism\*(R", which just
400     means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another
401     reads it.
402     .Sp

404     \&\f(CW\*(C`URxvt.remote\-selection.fetch\*(C'\fR resources. The first should read the

406     the selection data on \s-1STDOUT\s0 (also in \s-1UTF\-8\s0).

416     This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection as
417     textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is
418     not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to
419     \&\fI/tmp\fR directly.).
420     .Sp
421     It listens to the \f(CW\*(C`selection\-pastebin:remote\-pastebin\*(C'\fR keyboard command,

424     .Vb 1
425     \& URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
426     .Ve
427     .Sp
428     Pressing this combination runs a command with \f(CW\*(C`%\*(C'\fR replaced by the name of
429     the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
430     .Sp
431     .Vb 1
432     \& URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
433     .Ve
434     .Sp
435     And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people around
436     here :)
437     .Sp
438     The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so
439     the same content should lead to the same filename.
440     .Sp
441     After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given
442     in the \f(CW\*(C`selection\-pastebin\-url\*(C'\fR resource (again, the % is the placeholder
443     for the filename):
