79 Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code
80 reference onto "@{ $term-"{selection_popup_hook} }>, that is called
81 whenever the popup is displayed.
82
83 It's sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The
84 selection is in $_, which can be used to decide wether to add
85 something or not. It should either return nothing or a string and a
86 code reference. The string will be used as button text and the code
87 reference will be called when the button gets activated and should
88 transform $_.

90 The following will add an entry "a to b" that transforms all "a"s in
91 the selection to "b"s, but only if the selection currently contains
92 any "a"s:

154 automove-background
155 This is basically a one-line extension that dynamically changes the
156 background pixmap offset to the window position, in effect creating
157 the same effect as pseudo transparency with a custom pixmap. No
158 scaling is supported in this mode. Exmaple:

175 selection-pastebin
176 This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection
177 as textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The
178 implementation is not currently secure for use in a multiuser
179 environment as it writes to /tmp directly.).
180
181 It listens to the "selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin" keyboard
182 command, i.e.
183
184 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
185
186 Pressing this combination runs a command with "%" replaced by the
187 name of the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
188
189 URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
190
191 And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people
192 around here :)
193
194 The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the
195 selection, so the same content should lead to the same filename.
196
197 After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text
198 given in the "selection-pastebin-url" resource (again, the % is the
199 placeholder for the filename):
