42 clicks will enlarge the selection. 46 clicks will enlarge the selection.
43 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.

59 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 }

75 digital-clock 124 readline (enabled by default)
76 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.

81 in the resource "urlLauncher" (default "x-www-browser") will be 191 in the resource "urlLauncher" (default "x-www-browser") will be
82 started with the URL as first argument. 192 started with the URL as first argument.
83 193
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
212

86 terminal, by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. 215 terminal, by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 ..
87 U+259F) by a similar-looking ascii character. 216 U+259F) by a similar-looking ascii character.

92 your own overlays or changes. 224 your own overlays or changes.
225
226 selection-pastebin
227 This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection
228 as textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The
229 implementation is not currently secure for use in a multiuser
230 environment as it writes to /tmp directly.).
231
232 It listens to the "selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin" keyboard
233 command, i.e.
234
235 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
236
237 Pressing this combination runs a command with "%" replaced by the
238 name of the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
239
240 URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
241
242 And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people
243 around here :)
244
245 The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the
246 selection, so the same content should lead to the same filename.
247
248 After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text
249 given in the "selection-pastebin-url" resource (again, the % is the
250 placeholder for the filename):
251
252 URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/%
