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

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 mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor.
128 - the primary screen is currently being displayed.
129 - the text cursor is visible.
130
131 The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive
132 clicks might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.

169 tabbed
170 This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional
171 terminals, that is, it implements what is commonly refered to as
172 "tabbed terminal". The topmost line displays a "[NEW]" button,
173 which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one button per
174 tab.
175
176 Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing Shift-Left and
177 Shift-Right will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
178 while Shift-Down creates a new tab.

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

206
207 selection-pastebin
208 This is a little rarely useful extension that Uploads the selection
209 as textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The
210 implementation is not currently secure for use in a multiuser
211 environment as it writes to /tmp directly.).
212
213 It listens to the "selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin" keyboard
214 command, i.e.
215
216 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
217
218 Pressing this combination runs a command with "%" replaced by the
219 name of the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
220
221 URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
222
223 And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people
224 around here :)
225
226 The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the
227 selection, so the same content should lead to the same filename.
228
229 After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text
230 given in the "selection-pastebin-url" resource (again, the % is the
231 placeholder for the filename):
