35 Intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent 35
36 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,automove-background,selection-autotransform
37
38 selection (enabled by default)
39 (More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more
36 when the user extends selections (double-click). Right now, it tries 40 intelligent when the user extends selections (double-click and
37 to select urls and complete shell-quoted arguments, which is very 41 further clicks). Right now, it tries to select words, urls and
42 complete shell-quoted arguments, which is very convenient, too, if
38 convenient, too, if your ls supports "--quoting-style=shell". 43 your ls supports "--quoting-style=shell".
39 44
40 It also offers the following bindable event: 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.
72
73 This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:

43 Rot-13 the selection when activated. Used via keyboard trigger: 76 Rot-13 the selection when activated. Used via keyboard trigger:
44 77
45 URxvt.keysym.C-M-r: perl:selection:rot13 78 URxvt.keysym.C-M-r: perl:selection:rot13
46 79
80 option-popup (enabled by default)
81 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button2 that lets you toggle (some)
82 options at runtime.
83
84 Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code
85 reference onto "@{ $term-"{option_popup_hook} }>, which gets called
86 whenever the popup is being displayed.
87
88 It's sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. It
89 should either return nothing or a string, the initial boolean value
90 and a code reference. The string will be used as button text and the
91 code reference will be called when the toggle changes, with the new
92 boolean value as first argument.
93
94 The following will add an entry "myoption" that changes
95 "$self-"{myoption}>:
96
97 push @{ $self->{term}{option_popup_hook} }, sub {
98 ("my option" => $myoption, sub { $self->{myoption} = $_[0] })
99 };
100
101 selection-popup (enabled by default)
102 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button3 that lets you convert the
103 selection text into various other formats/action (such as uri
104 unescaping, perl evaluation, web-browser starting etc.), depending
105 on content.
106
107 Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code
108 reference onto "@{ $term-"{selection_popup_hook} }>, which gets
109 called whenever the popup is being displayed.
110
111 It's sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The
112 selection is in $_, which can be used to decide wether to add
113 something or not. It should either return nothing or a string and a
114 code reference. The string will be used as button text and the code
115 reference will be called when the button gets activated and should
116 transform $_.
117
118 The following will add an entry "a to b" that transforms all "a"s in
119 the selection to "b"s, but only if the selection currently contains
120 any "a"s:
121
122 push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
123 /a/ ? ("a to be" => sub { s/a/b/g }
124 : ()
125 };
126
127 searchable-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)
128 Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
129 by a hotkey (default: "M-s"). While in search mode, normal terminal
130 input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of
131 the screen.
132
133 Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues
134 incremental search. "BackSpace" removes a character from the regex,
135 "Up" and "Down" search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer,
136 "End" jumps to the bottom. "Escape" leaves search mode and returns
137 to the point where search was started, while "Enter" or "Return"
138 stay at the current position and additionally stores the first match
139 in the current line into the primary selection.
140
141 readline (enabled by default)
142 A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier.
143 At the moment, it reacts to clicking with the left mouse button by
144 trying to move the text cursor to this position. It does so by
145 generating as many cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as
146 required (the this only works for programs that correctly support
147 wide characters).
148
149 To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
150
151 - the tty is in ICANON state.
152 - the text cursor is visible.
153 - the primary screen is currently being displayed.
154 - the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor.
155
156 The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive
157 clicks might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.
158
159 selection-autotransform
160 This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
161 whenever a selection is made.
162
163 It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single "s///"
164 operator) that modify $_ as resources:
165
166 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
167 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
168 ...
169
170 For example, the following will transform selections of the form
171 "filename:number", often seen in compiler messages, into "vi
172 +$filename $word":
173
174 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/
175
176 And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands
177 you can paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
178
179 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
180
181 Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor
182 :)
183
184 To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at
185 FILENAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
186
187 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.])
188 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
189
190 The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part
191 of every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line
192 transforms the message into vi commands to load the file.
193
194 tabbed
195 This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional
196 terminals, that is, it implements what is commonly refered to as
197 "tabbed terminal". The topmost line displays a "[NEW]" button,
198 which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one button per
199 tab.
200
201 Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing Shift-Left and
202 Shift-Right will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
203 while Shift-Down creates a new tab.
204
205 The tabbar itself can be configured similarly to a normal terminal,
206 but with a resource class of "URxvt.tabbed". In addition, it
207 supports the following four resources (shown with defaults):
208
209 URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-fg: <colour-index, default 3>
210 URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-bg: <colour-index, default 0>
211 URxvt.tabbed.tab-fg: <colour-index, default 0>
212 URxvt.tabbed.tab-bg: <colour-index, default 1>
213
214 See *COLOR AND GRAPHICS* in the rxvt(1) manpage for valid indices.
215
216 mark-urls
217 Uses per-line display filtering ("on_line_update") to underline urls
218 and make them clickable. When middle-clicked, the program specified
219 in the resource "urlLauncher" (default "x-www-browser") will be
220 started with the URL as first argument.
221
222 xim-onthespot
223 This (experimental) perl extension implements OnTheSpot editing. It
224 does not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work
225 well with OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at
226 leats for SCIM and kinput2.
227
228 You enable it by specifying this extension and a preedit style of
229 "OnTheSpot", i.e.:
230
231 rxvt -pt OnTheSpot -pe xim-onthespot
232
233 automove-background
234 This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the
235 background pixmap offset to the window position, in effect creating
236 the same effect as pseudo transparency with a custom pixmap. No
237 scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple:
238
239 rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
240
241 block-graphics-to-ascii
242 A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the
243 terminal, by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 ..
244 U+259F) by a similar-looking ascii character.
245
47 digital-clock 246 digital-clock
48 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay. 247 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
248
249 remote-clipboard
250 Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
251 selection popup that allows one ti run external commands to store
252 the selection somewhere and fetch it again.
253
254 We use it to implement a "distributed selection mechanism", which
255 just means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and
256 another reads it.
257
258 The commands can be set using the "URxvt.remote-selection.store" and
259 "URxvt.remote-selection.fetch" resources. The first should read the
260 selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should
261 provide the selection data on STDOUT (also in UTF-8).
262
263 The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:
264
265 URxvt.remote-selection.store: rsh ruth 'cat >/tmp/distributed-selection'
266 URxvt.remote-selection.fetch: rsh ruth 'cat /tmp/distributed-selection'
267
268 selection-pastebin
269 This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection
270 as textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The
271 implementation is not currently secure for use in a multiuser
272 environment as it writes to /tmp directly.).
273
274 It listens to the "selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin" keyboard
275 command, i.e.
276
277 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
278
279 Pressing this combination runs a command with "%" replaced by the
280 name of the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
281
282 URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
283
284 And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people
285 around here :)
286
287 The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the
288 selection, so the same content should lead to the same filename.
289
290 After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text
291 given in the "selection-pastebin-url" resource (again, the % is the
292 placeholder for the filename):
293
294 URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/%

66 313
314 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are
315 some hints on what they mean:
316
317 $text
318 Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one "unicode"
319 character always represents one screen cell. See ROW_t for a
320 discussion of this format.
321
322 $string
323 A perl text string, with an emphasis on *text*. It can store all
324 unicode characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a
325 specific encoding (often locale-specific) and binary data.
326
327 $octets
328 Either binary data or - more common - a text string encoded in a
329 locale-specific way.
330
331 Extension Objects
332 Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
333 for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter
334 to hooks. So extensions can use their $self object without having to
335 think about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members
336 that begin with an underscore character "_": these are reserved for
337 internal use.
338
339 Although it isn't a "urxvt::term" object, you can call all methods of
340 the "urxvt::term" class on this object.
341
342 It has the following methods and data members:
343
344 $urxvt_term = $self->{term}
345 Returns the "urxvt::term" object associated with this instance of
346 the extension. This member *must not* be changed in any way.
347
348 $self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])
349 Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the "on_" prefix)
350 for this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when
351 you want to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
352
353 $self->disable ($hook_name[, $hook_name..])
354 Dynamically disable the given hooks.
355

85 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before 370 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
86 windows are created or the command gets run. 371 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe
372 to call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other
373 characteristics have not yet been determined. You can safely query
374 and change resources and options, though. For many purposes the
375 "on_start" hook is a better place.
376

158 messages from other users on the same system etc.). 450 messages from other users on the same system etc.).
159 451
452 on_add_lines $term, $string
453 Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as
454 argument. You can filter/change and output the text yourself by
455 returning a true value and calling "$term->scr_add_lines" yourself.
456 Please note that this might be very slow, however, as your hook is
457 called for all text being output.
458
459 on_tt_write $term, $octets
460 Called whenever some data is written to the tty/pty and can be used
461 to suppress or filter tty input.
462
463 on_line_update $term, $row
464 Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
465 screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only
466 lines that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance
467 reasons, not always immediately.
468
469 The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line
470 spans multiple rows.
471
472 Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get
473 called later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts
474 change), so you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set
475 them.

491 The event is simply the action string. This interface is assumed to
492 change slightly in the future.
493
494 on_x_event $term, $event
495 Called on every X event received on the vt window (and possibly
496 other windows). Should only be used as a last resort. Most event
497 structure members are not passed.

500 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before
501 rxvt-unicode does focus in processing.
502
503 on_focus_out $term

520 The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the
521 XEvent manpage), with the additional members "row" and "col", which
522 are the (real, not screen-based) row and column under the mouse
523 cursor.

541 $urxvt::RESCLASS, $urxvt::RESCLASS
542 The resource class and name rxvt-unicode uses to look up X
543 resources.
544

550 object, whenever a callback/hook is executing.
551
552 @urxvt::TERM_INIT
553 All coderefs in this array will be called as methods of the next
554 newly created "urxvt::term" object (during the "on_init" phase). The
555 array gets cleared before the codereferences that were in it are
556 being executed, so coderefs can push themselves onto it again if
557 they so desire.
558
559 This complements to the perl-eval commandline option, but gets
560 executed first.
561
562 @urxvt::TERM_EXT
563 Works similar to @TERM_INIT, but contains perl package/class names,
564 which get registered as normal extensions after calling the hooks in
565 @TERM_INIT but before other extensions. Gets cleared just like
566 @TERM_INIT.

586 regardless of wether they are started, being destroyed etc., so be
587 careful. Only term objects that have perl extensions attached will
588 be returned (because there is no urxvt::term objet associated with

233 Change the custom value. 653 Change the custom value.
234 654
655 The "urxvt::anyevent" Class
656 The sole purpose of this class is to deliver an interface to the
657 "AnyEvent" module - any module using it will work inside urxvt without
658 further programming. The only exception is that you cannot wait on
659 condition variables, but non-blocking condvar use is ok. What this means
660 is that you cannot use blocking APIs, but the non-blocking variant
661 should work.
662
235 The "urxvt::term" Class 663 The "urxvt::term" Class
664 $term = new urxvt::term $envhashref, $rxvtname, [arg...]
665 Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with
666 system "$rxvtname, arg...". $envhashref must be a reference to a
667 %ENV-like hash which defines the environment of the new terminal.
668
669 Croaks (and probably outputs an error message) if the new instance
670 couldn't be created. Returns "undef" if the new instance didn't
671 initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The "init" and
672 "start" hooks will be called before this call returns, and are free
673 to refer to global data (which is race free).
674
675 $term->destroy
676 Destroy the terminal object (close the window, free resources etc.).
677 Please note that rxvt will not exit as long as any event watchers
678 (timers, io watchers) are still active.
679
680 $term->exec_async ($cmd[, @args])
681 Works like the combination of the "fork"/"exec" builtins, which
682 executes ("starts") programs in the background. This function takes
683 care of setting the user environment before exec'ing the command
684 (e.g. "PATH") and should be preferred over explicit calls to "exec"
685 or "system".
686
687 Returns the pid of the subprocess or "undef" on error.
688
689 $isset = $term->option ($optval[, $set])
690 Returns true if the option specified by $optval is enabled, and
691 optionally change it. All option values are stored by name in the
692 hash %urxvt::OPTION. Options not enabled in this binary are not in
693 the hash.

238 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the 707 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the

741 Returns the X-Resource for the given pattern, excluding the program
742 or class name, i.e. "$term->x_resource ("boldFont")" should return
743 the same value as used by this instance of rxvt-unicode. Returns
744 "undef" if no resource with that pattern exists.
745
746 This method should only be called during the "on_start" hook, as
747 there is only one resource database per display, and later
748 invocations might return the wrong resources.
749
750 $success = $term->parse_keysym ($keysym_spec, $command_string)
751 Adds a keymap translation exactly as specified via a resource. See
752 the "keysym" resource in the rxvt(1) manpage.
753

284 768
769 $term->selection_make ($eventtime[, $rectangular])
770 Tries to make a selection as set by "selection_beg" and
771 "selection_end". If $rectangular is true (default: false), a
772 rectangular selection will be made. This is the prefered function to
773 make a selection.
774
285 $success = $term->selection_grab ($eventtime) 775 $success = $term->selection_grab ($eventtime)
286 Try to request the primary selection from the server (for example, 776 Try to request the primary selection text from the server (for

833 XORs the rendition values in the given span with the provided value
834 (default: "RS_RVid"), which *MUST NOT* contain font styles. Useful
835 in refresh hooks to provide effects similar to the selection.
836
837 $term->scr_xor_rect ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle1[,
838 $rstyle2]])
839 Similar to "scr_xor_span", but xors a rectangle instead. Trailing
840 whitespace will additionally be xored with the $rstyle2, which
841 defaults to "RS_RVid | RS_Uline", which removes reverse video again
842 and underlines it instead. Both styles *MUST NOT* contain font
843 styles.
844
845 $term->scr_bell
846 Ring the bell!
847
848 $term->scr_add_lines ($string)
849 Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the
850 application running inside the terminal. It may not contain command
851 sequences (escape codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage
852 returns and tabs. The string is a normal text string, not in
853 locale-dependent encoding.
854
855 Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might
856 be confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful
857 inside a "on_add_lines" hook, though.
858
859 $term->scr_change_screen ($screen)
860 Switch to given screen - 0 primary, 1 secondary.
861
862 $term->cmd_parse ($octets)
863 Similar to "scr_add_lines", but the argument must be in the
864 locale-specific encoding of the terminal and can contain command
865 sequences (escape codes) that will be interpreted.
346 866

348 Write the octets given in $data to the tty (i.e. as program input). 868 Write the octets given in $data to the tty (i.e. as program input).
349 To pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your 869 To pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your
350 strings first to the locale-specific encoding using 870 strings first to the locale-specific encoding using
351 "$term->locale_encode". 871 "$term->locale_encode".
872
873 $old_events = $term->pty_ev_events ([$new_events])
874 Replaces the event mask of the pty watcher by the given event mask.
875 Can be used to suppress input and output handling to the pty/tty.
876 See the description of "urxvt::timer->events". Make sure to always
877 restore the previous value.
878
879 $fd = $term->pty_fd
880 Returns the master file descriptor for the pty in use, or -1 if no
881 pty is used.
