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 {

124 readline (enabled by default)
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.

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.

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:

140 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay. 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/%
