Everytime a terminal object gets created, extension scripts specified via
the \f(CW\*(C`perl\*(C'\fR resource are loaded and associated with it.
.PP
Scripts are compiled in a 'use strict' and 'use utf8' environment, and
thus must be encoded as \s-1UTF\-8\s0.
.PP
Each script will only ever be loaded once, even in @@RXVT_NAME@@d, where
scripts will be shared (but not enabled) for all terminals.

This section describes the extensions delivered with this release. You can
find them in \fI@@RXVT_LIBDIR@@/urxvt/perl/\fR.
.PP
You can activate them like this:

.IP "selection (enabled by default)" 4
.IX Item "selection (enabled by default)"
(More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent
when the user extends selections (double\-click and further clicks). Right
now, it tries to select words, urls and complete shell-quoted
arguments, which is very convenient, too, if your \fIls\fR supports
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-quoting\-style=shell\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
A double-click usually selects the word under the cursor, further clicks
will enlarge the selection.
.Sp
The selection works by trying to match a number of regexes and displaying
them in increasing order of length. You can add your own regexes by
specifying resources of the form:
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&   URxvt.selection.pattern-0: perl-regex
\&   URxvt.selection.pattern-1: perl-regex
\&   ...
.Ve
.Sp
The index number (0, 1...) must not have any holes, and each regex must
contain at least one pair of capturing parentheses, which will be used for
the match. For example, the followign adds a regex that matches everything
between two vertical bars:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   URxvt.selection.pattern-0: \e\e|([^|]+)\e\e|
.Ve
.Sp
Another example: Programs I use often output \*(L"absolute path: \*(R" at the
beginning of a line when they process multiple files. The following
pattern matches the filename (note, there is a single space at the very
end):
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ^(/[^:]+):\e
.Ve
.Sp
You can look at the source of the selection extension to see more
interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.
.Sp
This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:

.IP "option-popup (enabled by default)" 4
.IX Item "option-popup (enabled by default)"
Binds a popup menu to Ctrl\-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at
runtime.
.IP "selection-popup (enabled by default)" 4
.IX Item "selection-popup (enabled by default)"
Binds a popup menu to Ctrl\-Button3 that lets you convert the selection
text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl
evaluation, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content.
.Sp
Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference
onto \f(CW\*(C`@{ $term\-\*(C'\fR{selection_popup_hook} }>, that is called whenever the
popup is displayed.
.Sp
It's sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The selection
is in \f(CW$_\fR, which can be used to decide wether to add something or not.
It should either return nothing or a string and a code reference. The
string will be used as button text and the code reference will be called
when the button gets activated and should transform \f(CW$_\fR.
.Sp
The following will add an entry \f(CW\*(C`a to b\*(C'\fR that transforms all \f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fRs in
the selection to \f(CW\*(C`b\*(C'\fRs, but only if the selection currently contains any
\&\f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fRs:
.Sp
.Vb 4
\&   push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
\&      /a/ ? ("a to be" => sub { s/a/b/g }
\&          : ()
\&   };
.Ve
.IP "searchable\-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)" 4
.IX Item "searchable-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)"
Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
by a hotkey (default: \f(CW\*(C`M\-s\*(C'\fR). While in search mode, normal terminal
input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
.Sp
Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental
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
search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, \f(CW\*(C`End\*(C'\fR jumps to the
bottom. \f(CW\*(C`Escape\*(C'\fR leaves search mode and returns to the point where search
was started, while \f(CW\*(C`Enter\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`Return\*(C'\fR stay at the current position and
additionally stores the first match in the current line into the primary
selection.
.IP "readline (enabled by default)" 4
.IX Item "readline (enabled by default)"
A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier. At the
moment, it reacts to clicking with the left mouse button by trying to
move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many
cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (the this only works
for programs that correctly support wide characters).
.Sp
To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
.RS 4
.IP "\- the tty is in \s-1ICANON\s0 state." 4
.IX Item "- the tty is in ICANON state."
.PD 0
.IP "\- the text cursor is visible." 4

.IX Item "- the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor."
.RE
.RS 4
.PD
.Sp
The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive clicks
might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.
.RE
.IP "selection-autotransform" 4
.IX Item "selection-autotransform"
This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
whenever a selection is made.
.Sp
It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single \f(CW\*(C`s///\*(C'\fR
operator) that modify \f(CW$_\fR as resources:
.Sp
.Vb 3
\&   URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
\&   URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
\&   ...
.Ve
.Sp
For example, the following will transform selections of the form
\&\f(CW\*(C`filename:number\*(C'\fR, often seen in compiler messages, into \f(CW\*(C`vi +$filename
$word\*(C'\fR:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\e\ed+):?$/vi +$2 \e\eQ$1\e\eE\e\ex0d/
.Ve
.Sp
And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can
paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\e\ed+):?$/:e \e\eQ$1\e\eE\e\ex0d:$2\e\ex0d/
.Ve
.Sp
Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)
.Sp
To expand the example above to typical perl error messages (\*(L"\s-1XXX\s0 at
\&\s-1FILENAME\s0 line \s-1YYY\s0.\*(R"), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&   URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \e\ed+[,.])
\&   URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\e\ed+)[,.]$/:e \e\eQ$1\eE\e\ex0d:$2\e\ex0d/
.Ve
.Sp
The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of
every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms
the message into vi commands to load the file.
.IP "tabbed" 4
.IX Item "tabbed"
This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that
is, it implements what is commonly refered to as \*(L"tabbed terminal\*(R". The topmost line
displays a \*(L"[\s-1NEW\s0]\*(R" button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one
button per tab.
.Sp
Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing \fBShift-Left\fR and
\&\fBShift-Right\fR will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
while \fBShift-Down\fR creates a new tab.
.IP "mark-urls" 4
.IX Item "mark-urls"
Uses per-line display filtering (\f(CW\*(C`on_line_update\*(C'\fR) to underline urls and
make them clickable. When middle\-clicked, the program specified in the
resource \f(CW\*(C`urlLauncher\*(C'\fR (default \f(CW\*(C`x\-www\-browser\*(C'\fR) will be started with
the \s-1URL\s0 as first argument.
.IP "xim-onthespot" 4
.IX Item "xim-onthespot"
This (experimental) perl extension implements OnTheSpot editing. It does
not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work well with
OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at leats for \s-1SCIM\s0 and
kinput2.
.Sp
You enable it by specifying this extension and a preedit style of
\&\f(CW\*(C`OnTheSpot\*(C'\fR, i.e.:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pt OnTheSpot -pe xim-onthespot
.Ve
.IP "automove-background" 4
.IX Item "automove-background"
This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the background pixmap offset
to the window position, in effect creating the same effect as pseudo transparency with
a custom pixmap. No scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
.Ve
.IP "block-graphics-to-ascii" 4
.IX Item "block-graphics-to-ascii"
A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal,
by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a
similar-looking ascii character.
.IP "digital-clock" 4
.IX Item "digital-clock"
Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
.IP "remote-clipboard" 4
.IX Item "remote-clipboard"
Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
selection popup that allows one ti run external commands to store the
selection somewhere and fetch it again.
.Sp
We use it to implement a \*(L"distributed selection mechanism\*(R", which just
means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another
reads it.
.Sp
The commands can be set using the \f(CW\*(C`URxvt.remote\-selection.store\*(C'\fR and
\&\f(CW\*(C`URxvt.remote\-selection.fetch\*(C'\fR resources. The first should read the
selection to store from \s-1STDIN\s0 (always in \s-1UTF\-8\s0), the second should provide
the selection data on \s-1STDOUT\s0 (also in \s-1UTF\-8\s0).
.Sp
The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:
.Sp
.Vb 2
\&   URxvt.remote-selection.store: rsh ruth 'cat >/tmp/distributed-selection'
\&   URxvt.remote-selection.fetch: rsh ruth 'cat /tmp/distributed-selection'
.Ve
.IP "selection-pastebin" 4
.IX Item "selection-pastebin"
This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection as
textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is
not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to
\&\fI/tmp\fR directly.).
.Sp
It listens to the \f(CW\*(C`selection\-pastebin:remote\-pastebin\*(C'\fR keyboard command,
i.e.
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
.Ve
.Sp
Pressing this combination runs a command with \f(CW\*(C`%\*(C'\fR replaced by the name of
the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
.Ve
.Sp
And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people around
here :)
.Sp
The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so
the same content should lead to the same filename.
.Sp
After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given
in the \f(CW\*(C`selection\-pastebin\-url\*(C'\fR resource (again, the % is the placeholder
for the filename):
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&   URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/%
.Ve
.IP "example-refresh-hooks" 4
.IX Item "example-refresh-hooks"
Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the
window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own
overlays or changes.
.SH "API DOCUMENTATION"
.IX Header "API DOCUMENTATION"
.Sh "General \s-1API\s0 Considerations"
.IX Subsection "General API Considerations"
All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
like. All members starting with an underscore (such as \f(CW\*(C`_ptr\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`_hook\*(C'\fR) are reserved for internal uses and \fB\s-1MUST\s0 \s-1NOT\s0\fR be accessed or
modified).
.PP
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
terminal is destroyed.
.PP
Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are some
hints on what they mean:
.IP "$text" 4
.IX Item "$text"
Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one \*(L"unicode\*(R" character
always represents one screen cell. See ROW_t for a discussion of this format.
.IP "$string" 4
.IX Item "$string"
A perl text string, with an emphasis on \fItext\fR. It can store all unicode
characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a specific
encoding (often locale\-specific) and binary data.
.IP "$octets" 4
.IX Item "$octets"
Either binary data or \- more common \- a text string encoded in a
locale-specific way.
.Sh "Extension Objects"
.IX Subsection "Extension Objects"
Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter to
hooks. So extensions can use their \f(CW$self\fR object without having to think
about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members that
begin with an underscore character \f(CW\*(C`_\*(C'\fR: these are reserved for internal
use.
.PP
Although it isn't a \f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR object, you can call all methods of the
\&\f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR class on this object.
.PP
It has the following methods and data members:
.ie n .IP "$urxvt_term = $self\->{term}" 4
.el .IP "$urxvt_term = \f(CW$self\fR\->{term}" 4
.IX Item "$urxvt_term = $self->{term}"
Returns the \f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR object associated with this instance of the
extension. This member \fImust not\fR be changed in any way.
.ie n .IP "$self\->enable ($hook_name => $cb\fR, [$hook_name => \f(CW$cb..])" 4
.el .IP "$self\->enable ($hook_name => \f(CW$cb\fR, [$hook_name => \f(CW$cb\fR..])" 4
.IX Item "$self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])"
Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the \f(CW\*(C`on_\*(C'\fR prefix) for
this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when you want
to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
.ie n .IP "$self\->disable ($hook_name[, $hook_name..])" 4
.el .IP "$self\->disable ($hook_name[, \f(CW$hook_name\fR..])" 4

.Sh "Hooks"
.IX Subsection "Hooks"
The following subroutines can be declared in extension files, and will be
called whenever the relevant event happens.
.PP
The first argument passed to them is an extension oject as described in
the in the \f(CW\*(C`Extension Objects\*(C'\fR section.
.PP
\&\fBAll\fR of these hooks must return a boolean value. If any of the called
hooks returns true, then the event counts as being \fIconsumed\fR, and the
relevant action might not be carried out by the \*(C+ code.
.PP
\&\fIWhen in doubt, return a false value (preferably \f(CI\*(C`()\*(C'\fI).\fR
.ie n .IP "on_init $term" 4
.el .IP "on_init \f(CW$term\fR" 4
.IX Item "on_init $term"
Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to
call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics
have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources
and options, though. For many purposes the \f(CW\*(C`on_start\*(C'\fR hook is a better
place.
.ie n .IP "on_start $term" 4
.el .IP "on_start \f(CW$term\fR" 4

Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
selection will be honored.

Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double
click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or
should extend the selection itelf and return true to suppress the built-in
processing. This can happen multiple times, as long as the callback
returns true, it will be called on every further click by the user and is
supposed to enlarge the selection more and more, if possible.

Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
buffer. \f(CW$lines\fR is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
.Sp
It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines \- 1,

Called whenever the \fB\s-1ESC\s0 ] 777 ; string \s-1ST\s0\fR command sequence (\s-1OSC\s0 =
operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
string should start with the extension name and a colon, to distinguish
it from commands for other extensions, and this might be enforced in the
future.

Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as argument. You
can filter/change and output the text yourself by returning a true value
and calling \f(CW\*(C`$term\->scr_add_lines\*(C'\fR yourself. Please note that this
might be very slow, however, as your hook is called for \fBall\fR text being
output.

Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only lines
that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons,
not always immediately.
.Sp
The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line spans
multiple rows.
.Sp
Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get called
later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts change), so
you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set them.
