35 (More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more 39 (More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more
36 intelligent when the user extends selections (double-click). Right 40 intelligent when the user extends selections (double-click and
37 now, it tries to select urls and complete shell-quoted arguments, 41 further clicks). Right now, it tries to select words, urls and
38 which is very convenient, too, if your ls supports 42 complete shell-quoted arguments, which is very convenient, too, if
39 "--quoting-style=shell". 43 your ls supports "--quoting-style=shell".
40 44
45 A double-click usually selects the word under the cursor, further
46 clicks will enlarge the selection.
47
48 The selection works by trying to match a number of regexes and
49 displaying them in increasing order of length. You can add your own
50 regexes by specifying resources of the form:
51
52 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: perl-regex
53 URxvt.selection.pattern-1: perl-regex
54 ...
55
56 The index number (0, 1...) must not have any holes, and each regex
57 must contain at least one pair of capturing parentheses, which will
58 be used for the match. For example, the followign adds a regex that
59 matches everything between two vertical bars:
60
61 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: \\|([^|]+)\\|
62
63 Another example: Programs I use often output "absolute path: " at
64 the beginning of a line when they process multiple files. The
65 following pattern matches the filename (note, there is a single
66 space at the very end):
67
68 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ^(/[^:]+):\
69
70 You can look at the source of the selection extension to see more
71 interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.

56 content. 88 on content.
89
90 Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code
91 reference onto "@{ $term-"{selection_popup_hook} }>, that is called
92 whenever the popup is displayed.
93
94 It's sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The
95 selection is in $_, which can be used to decide wether to add
96 something or not. It should either return nothing or a string and a
97 code reference. The string will be used as button text and the code
98 reference will be called when the button gets activated and should
99 transform $_.
100
101 The following will add an entry "a to b" that transforms all "a"s in
102 the selection to "b"s, but only if the selection currently contains
103 any "a"s:
104
105 push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
106 /a/ ? ("a to be" => sub { s/a/b/g }

114 the screen.

63 "/" starts an incremental regex search, "n" searches further, "p" or 116 Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues
64 "N" jump to the previous match, "G" jumps to the bottom and clears 117 incremental search. "BackSpace" removes a character from the regex,
65 the history, "enter" leaves search mode at the current position and 118 "Up" and "Down" search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer,
66 "escape" returns to the original position. 119 "End" jumps to the bottom. "Escape" leaves search mode and returns
120 to the point where search was started, while "Enter" or "Return"
121 stay at the current position and additionally stores the first match
122 in the current line into the primary selection.
67 123
68 digital-clock 124 readline (enabled by default)
69 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay. 125 A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier.
126 At the moment, it reacts to clicking with the left mouse button by
127 trying to move the text cursor to this position. It does so by
128 generating as many cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as
129 required (the this only works for programs that correctly support
130 wide characters).
131
132 To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
133
134 - the tty is in ICANON state.
135 - the text cursor is visible.
136 - the primary screen is currently being displayed.
137 - the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor.
138
139 The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive
140 clicks might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.
141
142 selection-autotransform
143 This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
144 whenever a selection is made.
145
146 It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single "s///"
147 operator) that modify $_ as resources:
148
149 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
150 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
151 ...
152
153 For example, the following will transform selections of the form
154 "filename:number", often seen in compiler messages, into "vi
155 +$filename $word":
156
157 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/
158
159 And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands
160 you can paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
161
162 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
163
164 Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor
165 :)
166
167 To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at
168 FILENAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
169
170 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.])
171 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
172
173 The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part
174 of every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line
175 transforms the message into vi commands to load the file.
176
177 tabbed
178 This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional
179 terminals, that is, it implements what is commonly refered to as
180 "tabbed terminal". The topmost line displays a "[NEW]" button,
181 which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one button per
182 tab.
183
184 Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing Shift-Left and
185 Shift-Right will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
186 while Shift-Down creates a new tab.
70 187
71 mark-urls 188 mark-urls
72 Uses per-line display filtering ("on_line_update") to underline urls 189 Uses per-line display filtering ("on_line_update") to underline urls
73 and make them clickable. When clicked, the program specified in the 190 and make them clickable. When middle-clicked, the program specified
74 resource "urlLauncher" (default "x-www-browser") will be started. 191 in the resource "urlLauncher" (default "x-www-browser") will be
192 started with the URL as first argument.
193
194 xim-onthespot
195 This (experimental) perl extension implements OnTheSpot editing. It
196 does not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work
197 well with OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at
198 leats for SCIM and kinput2.
199
200 You enable it by specifying this extension and a preedit style of
201 "OnTheSpot", i.e.:
202
203 rxvt -pt OnTheSpot -pe xim-onthespot
204
205 automove-background
206 This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the
207 background pixmap offset to the window position, in effect creating
208 the same effect as pseudo transparency with a custom pixmap. No
209 scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple:
210
211 rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
75 212
76 block-graphics-to-ascii 213 block-graphics-to-ascii
77 A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the 214 A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the
78 terminal, by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. 215 terminal, by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 ..
79 U+259F) by a similar-looking ascii character. 216 U+259F) by a similar-looking ascii character.
217
218 digital-clock
219 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
220
221 remote-clipboard
222 Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
223 selection popup that allows one ti run external commands to store
224 the selection somewhere and fetch it again.
225
226 We use it to implement a "distributed selection mechanism", which
227 just means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and
228 another reads it.
229
230 The commands can be set using the "URxvt.remote-selection.store" and
231 "URxvt.remote-selection.fetch" resources. The first should read the
232 selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should
233 provide the selection data on STDOUT (also in UTF-8).
234
235 The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:
236
237 URxvt.remote-selection.store: rsh ruth 'cat >/tmp/distributed-selection'
238 URxvt.remote-selection.fetch: rsh ruth 'cat /tmp/distributed-selection'
239
240 selection-pastebin
241 This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection
242 as textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The
243 implementation is not currently secure for use in a multiuser
244 environment as it writes to /tmp directly.).
245
246 It listens to the "selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin" keyboard
247 command, i.e.
248
249 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
250
251 Pressing this combination runs a command with "%" replaced by the
252 name of the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
253
254 URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
255
256 And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people
257 around here :)
258
259 The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the
260 selection, so the same content should lead to the same filename.
261
262 After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text
263 given in the "selection-pastebin-url" resource (again, the % is the
264 placeholder for the filename):
265
266 URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/%
