157 Everytime a terminal object gets created, extension scripts specified via
158 the \f(CW\*(C`perl\*(C'\fR resource are loaded and associated with it.
159 .PP
160 Scripts are compiled in a 'use strict' and 'use utf8' environment, and
161 thus must be encoded as \s-1UTF\-8\s0.
162 .PP

164 scripts will be shared (but not enabled) for all terminals.

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

181 .IP "selection (enabled by default)" 4
182 .IX Item "selection (enabled by default)"
183 (More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent
184 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 .Sp
192 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 This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:
215 .RS 4
216 .IP "rot13" 4
217 .IX Item "rot13"
218 Rot\-13 the selection when activated. Used via keyboard trigger:

226 .IP "option-popup (enabled by default)" 4
227 .IX Item "option-popup (enabled by default)"
228 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl\-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at
229 runtime.
230 .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 text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl
234 evalution, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content.
235 .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 @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
252 \& /a/ ? ("a to be" => sub { s/a/b/g }
253 \& : ()
254 \& };
255 .Ve
256 .IP "searchable\-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)" 4
257 .IX Item "searchable-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)"
258 Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
259 by a hotkey (default: \f(CW\*(C`M\-s\*(C'\fR). While in search mode, normal terminal
260 input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the
261 screen.
262 .Sp
263 Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental
264 search. \f(CW\*(C`BackSpace\*(C'\fR removes a character from the regex, \f(CW\*(C`Up\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`Down\*(C'\fR
265 search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, \f(CW\*(C`End\*(C'\fR jumps to the
266 bottom. \f(CW\*(C`Escape\*(C'\fR leaves search mode and returns to the point where search
267 was started, while \f(CW\*(C`Enter\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`Return\*(C'\fR stay at the current position and
268 additionally stores the first match in the current line into the primary
269 selection.
270 .IP "selection-autotransform" 4
271 .IX Item "selection-autotransform"
272 This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
273 whenever a selection is made.
274 .Sp
275 It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single \f(CW\*(C`s///\*(C'\fR
276 operator) that modify \f(CW$_\fR as resources:
277 .Sp
278 .Vb 3
279 \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
280 \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
281 \& ...
282 .Ve
283 .Sp
284 For example, the following will transform selections of the form
285 \&\f(CW\*(C`filename:number\*(C'\fR, often seen in compiler messages, into \f(CW\*(C`vi +$filename
286 $word\*(C'\fR:
287 .Sp
288 .Vb 1
289 \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\e\ed+):?$/vi +$2 \e\eQ$1\e\eE\e\ex0d/
290 .Ve
291 .Sp
292 And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can
293 paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
294 .Sp
295 .Vb 1
296 \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\e\ed+):?$/:e \e\eQ$1\e\eE\e\ex0d:$2\e\ex0d/
297 .Ve
298 .Sp
299 Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)
300 .Sp
301 To expand the example above to typical perl error messages (\*(L"\s-1XXX\s0 at
302 \&\s-1FILENAME\s0 line \s-1YYY\s0.\*(R"), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
303 .Sp
304 .Vb 2
305 \& URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \e\ed+[,.])
306 \& URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\e\ed+)[,.]$/:e \e\eQ$1\eE\e\ex0d:$2\e\ex0d/
307 .Ve
308 .Sp
309 The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of
310 every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms
311 the message into vi commands to load the file.
312 .IP "tabbed" 4
313 .IX Item "tabbed"
314 This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that
315 is, it implements what is commonly refered to as \*(L"tabbed terminal\*(R". The topmost line
316 displays a \*(L"[\s-1NEW\s0]\*(R" button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one
317 button per tab.
318 .Sp
319 Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing Shift-Left and
320 Shift-Right will switch to the tab left or right of the current one.
321 .IP "mark-urls" 4
322 .IX Item "mark-urls"
323 Uses per-line display filtering (\f(CW\*(C`on_line_update\*(C'\fR) to underline urls and
324 make them clickable. When middle\-clicked, the program specified in the
325 resource \f(CW\*(C`urlLauncher\*(C'\fR (default \f(CW\*(C`x\-www\-browser\*(C'\fR) will be started with
326 the \s-1URL\s0 as first argument.
327 .IP "automove-background" 4
328 .IX Item "automove-background"
329 This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the background pixmap offset
330 to the window position, in effect creating the same effect as pseudo transparency with
331 a custom pixmap. No scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple:
332 .Sp
333 .Vb 1
334 \& @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
335 .Ve
336 .IP "block-graphics-to-ascii" 4
337 .IX Item "block-graphics-to-ascii"
338 A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal,
339 by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a
340 similar-looking ascii character.
341 .IP "digital-clock" 4
342 .IX Item "digital-clock"
343 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
344 .IP "example-refresh-hooks" 4
345 .IX Item "example-refresh-hooks"
346 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the
347 window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own
348 overlays or changes.
349 .IP "selection-pastebin" 4
350 .IX Item "selection-pastebin"
351 This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection as
352 textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is
353 not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to
354 \&\fI/tmp\fR directly.).
355 .Sp
356 It listens to the \f(CW\*(C`selection\-pastebin:remote\-pastebin\*(C'\fR keyboard command,
357 i.e.
358 .Sp
359 .Vb 1
360 \& URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
361 .Ve
362 .Sp
363 Pressing this combination runs a command with \f(CW\*(C`%\*(C'\fR replaced by the name of
364 the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
365 .Sp
366 .Vb 1
367 \& URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
368 .Ve
369 .Sp
370 And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people around
371 here :)
372 .Sp
373 The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so
374 the same content should lead to the same filename.
375 .Sp
376 After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given
377 in the \f(CW\*(C`selection\-pastebin\-url\*(C'\fR resource (again, the % is the placeholder
378 for the filename):
379 .Sp
380 .Vb 1
381 \& URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/%
382 .Ve
383 .SH "API DOCUMENTATION"
384 .IX Header "API DOCUMENTATION"
385 .Sh "General \s-1API\s0 Considerations"
386 .IX Subsection "General API Considerations"
387 All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
388 reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
389 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as \f(CW\*(C`_ptr\*(C'\fR or
390 \&\f(CW\*(C`_hook\*(C'\fR) are reserved for internal uses and \fB\s-1MUST\s0 \s-1NOT\s0\fR be accessed or
391 modified).
392 .PP
393 When objects are destroyed on the \*(C+ side, the perl object hashes are
394 emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
395 the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
396 terminal is destroyed.
397 .PP
398 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are some
399 hints on what they mean:
400 .IP "$text" 4
401 .IX Item "$text"
402 Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one \*(L"unicode\*(R" character
403 always represents one screen cell. See ROW_t for a discussion of this format.
404 .IP "$string" 4
405 .IX Item "$string"
406 A perl text string, with an emphasis on \fItext\fR. It can store all unicode
407 characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a specific
408 encoding (often locale\-specific) and binary data.
409 .IP "$octets" 4
410 .IX Item "$octets"
411 Either binary data or \- more common \- a text string encoded in a
412 locale-specific way.
413 .Sh "Extension Objects"
414 .IX Subsection "Extension Objects"
415 Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
416 for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter to
417 hooks. So extensions can use their \f(CW$self\fR object without having to think
418 about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members that
419 begin with an underscore character \f(CW\*(C`_\*(C'\fR: these are reserved for internal
420 use.
421 .PP
422 Although it isn't a \f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR object, you can call all methods of the
423 \&\f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR class on this object.
424 .PP
425 It has the following methods and data members:
426 .ie n .IP "$urxvt_term = $self\->{term}" 4
427 .el .IP "$urxvt_term = \f(CW$self\fR\->{term}" 4
428 .IX Item "$urxvt_term = $self->{term}"
429 Returns the \f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR object associated with this instance of the
430 extension. This member \fImust not\fR be changed in any way.
431 .ie n .IP "$self\->enable ($hook_name => $cb\fR, [$hook_name => \f(CW$cb..])" 4

433 .IX Item "$self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])"
434 Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the \f(CW\*(C`on_\*(C'\fR prefix) for
435 this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when you want
436 to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
437 .ie n .IP "$self\->disable ($hook_name[, $hook_name..])" 4
438 .el .IP "$self\->disable ($hook_name[, \f(CW$hook_name\fR..])" 4

441 .Sh "Hooks"
442 .IX Subsection "Hooks"
443 The following subroutines can be declared in extension files, and will be
444 called whenever the relevant event happens.
