83 Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code
84 reference onto "@{ $term-"{selection_popup_hook} }>, that is called
85 whenever the popup is displayed.
86
87 It's sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The
88 selection is in $_, which can be used to decide wether to add
89 something or not. It should either return nothing or a string and a
90 code reference. The string will be used as button text and the code
91 reference will be called when the button gets activated and should
92 transform $_.
93
94 The following will add an entry "a to b" that transforms all "a"s in
95 the selection to "b"s, but only if the selection currently contains
96 any "a"s:
97
98 push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {

92 116
117 readline (enabled by default)
118 A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier.
119 At the moment, it reacts to clicking with the left mouse button by
120 trying to move the text cursor to this position. It does so by
121 generating as many cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as
122 required (the this only works for programs that correctly support
123 wide characters).
124
125 To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
126
127 - the tty is in ICANON state.
128 - the text cursor is visible.
129 - the primary screen is currently being displayed.
130 - the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor.
131
132 The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive
133 clicks might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.

116 :) 158 :)
159
160 To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at
161 FILENAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
162
163 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.])
164 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
165
166 The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part
167 of every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line
168 transforms the message into vi commands to load the file.
169
170 tabbed
171 This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional
172 terminals, that is, it implements what is commonly refered to as
173 "tabbed terminal". The topmost line displays a "[NEW]" button,
174 which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one button per
175 tab.
176
177 Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing Shift-Left and
178 Shift-Right will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
179 while Shift-Down creates a new tab.

123 186
187 automove-background
188 This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the
189 background pixmap offset to the window position, in effect creating
190 the same effect as pseudo transparency with a custom pixmap. No
191 scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple:

207
208 selection-pastebin
209 This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection
210 as textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The
211 implementation is not currently secure for use in a multiuser
212 environment as it writes to /tmp directly.).
213
214 It listens to the "selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin" keyboard
215 command, i.e.
216
217 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
218
219 Pressing this combination runs a command with "%" replaced by the
220 name of the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
221
222 URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
223
224 And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people
225 around here :)
226
227 The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the
228 selection, so the same content should lead to the same filename.
229
230 After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text
231 given in the "selection-pastebin-url" resource (again, the % is the
232 placeholder for the filename):
