35 Intelligent selection. This etxension 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). 40 intelligent when the user extends selections (double-click and
41 further clicks). Right now, it tries to select words, urls and
42 complete shell-quoted arguments, which is very convenient, too, if
43 your ls supports "--quoting-style=shell".
37 44
38 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 You can look at the source of the selection extension to see more
64 interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.
65
66 This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:
39 67
40 rot13 68 rot13
41 Rot-13 the selection when activated. Used via keyboard trigger: 69 Rot-13 the selection when activated. Used via keyboard trigger:
42 70
43 URxvt.keysym.C-M-r: perl:selection:rot13 71 URxvt.keysym.C-M-r: perl:selection:rot13
72
73 option-popup (enabled by default)
74 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button2 that lets you toggle (some)
75 options at runtime.
76
77 selection-popup (enabled by default)
78 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button3 that lets you convert the
79 selection text into various other formats/action (such as uri
80 unescaping, perl evaluation, web-browser starting etc.), depending
81 on content.
82
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
98 push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
99 /a/ ? ("a to be" => sub { s/a/b/g }
100 : ()
101 };
102
103 searchable-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)
104 Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
105 by a hotkey (default: "M-s"). While in search mode, normal terminal
106 input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of
107 the screen.
108
109 Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues
110 incremental search. "BackSpace" removes a character from the regex,
111 "Up" and "Down" search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer,
112 "End" jumps to the bottom. "Escape" leaves search mode and returns
113 to the point where search was started, while "Enter" or "Return"
114 stay at the current position and additionally stores the first match
115 in the current line into the primary selection.
116
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.
133
134 selection-autotransform
135 This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
136 whenever a selection is made.
137
138 It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single "s///"
139 operator) that modify $_ as resources:
140
141 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
142 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
143 ...
144
145 For example, the following will transform selections of the form
146 "filename:number", often seen in compiler messages, into "vi
147 +$filename $word":
148
149 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/
150
151 And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands
152 you can paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
153
154 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
155
156 Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor
157 :)
158
159 To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at
160 FILENAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
161
162 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.])
163 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
164
165 The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part
166 of every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line
167 transforms the message into vi commands to load the file.
168
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.
179
180 mark-urls
181 Uses per-line display filtering ("on_line_update") to underline urls
182 and make them clickable. When middle-clicked, the program specified
183 in the resource "urlLauncher" (default "x-www-browser") will be
184 started with the URL as first argument.
185
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:
191
192 rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
193
194 block-graphics-to-ascii
195 A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the
196 terminal, by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 ..
197 U+259F) by a similar-looking ascii character.
44 198
45 digital-clock 199 digital-clock
46 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay. 200 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
47 201
48 example-refresh-hooks 202 example-refresh-hooks
49 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of 203 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of
50 the window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create 204 the window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create
51 your own overlays or changes. 205 your own overlays or changes.
52 206
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):
232
233 URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/%

63 terminal is destroyed. 246 terminal is destroyed.
64 247
248 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are
249 some hints on what they mean:
250
251 $text
252 Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one "unicode"
253 character always represents one screen cell. See ROW_t for a
254 discussion of this format.
255
256 $string
257 A perl text string, with an emphasis on *text*. It can store all
258 unicode characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a
259 specific encoding (often locale-specific) and binary data.
260
261 $octets
262 Either binary data or - more common - a text string encoded in a
263 locale-specific way.
264
265 Extension Objects
266 Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
267 for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter
268 to hooks. So extensions can use their $self object without having to
269 think about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members
270 that begin with an underscore character "_": these are reserved for
271 internal use.
272
273 Although it isn't a "urxvt::term" object, you can call all methods of
274 the "urxvt::term" class on this object.
275
276 It has the following methods and data members:
277
278 $urxvt_term = $self->{term}
279 Returns the "urxvt::term" object associated with this instance of
280 the extension. This member *must not* be changed in any way.
281
282 $self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])
283 Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the "on_" prefix)
284 for this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when
285 you want to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
286
287 $self->disable ($hook_name[, $hook_name..])
288 Dynamically disable the given hooks.
289

81 302
82 on_init $term 303 on_init $term
83 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before 304 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
84 windows are created or the command gets run. 305 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe
306 to call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other
307 characteristics have not yet been determined. You can safely query
308 and change resources and options, though. For many purposes the
309 "on_start" hook is a better place.
310
311 on_start $term
312 Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just
313 before trying to map (display) the toplevel and returning to the
314 mainloop.
315
316 on_destroy $term
317 Called whenever something tries to destroy terminal, before doing
318 anything yet. If this hook returns true, then destruction is
319 skipped, but this is rarely a good idea.
85 320
86 on_reset $term 321 on_reset $term
87 Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing 322 Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing

89 size-related variables. 324 size-related variables.
90 325
91 on_start $term 326 on_child_start $term, $pid
92 Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just 327 Called just after the child process has been "fork"ed.
93 before returning to the mainloop. 328
329 on_child_exit $term, $status
330 Called just after the child process has exited. $status is the
331 status from "waitpid".
94 332
95 on_sel_make $term, $eventtime 333 on_sel_make $term, $eventtime
96 Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before 334 Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before
97 the selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or 335 the selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or
98 type of the selection will be honored. 336 type of the selection will be honored.
111 349
112 on_sel_extend $term 350 on_sel_extend $term
113 Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a 351 Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a
114 double click) and is either supposed to return false (normal 352 double click) and is either supposed to return false (normal
115 operation), or should extend the selection itelf and return true to 353 operation), or should extend the selection itelf and return true to
116 suppress the built-in processing. 354 suppress the built-in processing. This can happen multiple times, as
355 long as the callback returns true, it will be called on every
356 further click by the user and is supposed to enlarge the selection
357 more and more, if possible.
117 358
118 See the selection example extension. 359 See the selection example extension.
119
120 on_focus_in $term
121 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before urxvt
122 does focus in processing.
123
124 on_focus_out $term
125 Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before urxvt does
126 focus out processing.
127 360
128 on_view_change $term, $offset 361 on_view_change $term, $offset
129 Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program 362 Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program
130 scrolls. Offset 0 means display the normal terminal, positive values 363 scrolls. Offset 0 means display the normal terminal, positive values
131 show this many lines of scrollback. 364 show this many lines of scrollback.
137 370
138 It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines 371 It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines
139 - 1, $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). $saved is 372 - 1, $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). $saved is
140 the total number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer. 373 the total number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
141 374
142 on_tty_activity $term *NYI* 375 on_osc_seq $term, $string
143 Called whenever the program(s) running in the urxvt window send 376 Called whenever the ESC ] 777 ; string ST command sequence (OSC =
144 output. 377 operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other
378 state information is up-to-date when this happens. For
379 interoperability, the string should start with the extension name
380 and a colon, to distinguish it from commands for other extensions,
381 and this might be enforced in the future.
382
383 Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you
384 receive, as its source can not easily be controleld (e-mail content,
385 messages from other users on the same system etc.).
386
387 on_add_lines $term, $string
388 Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as
389 argument. You can filter/change and output the text yourself by
390 returning a true value and calling "$term->scr_add_lines" yourself.
391 Please note that this might be very slow, however, as your hook is
392 called for all text being output.
393
394 on_tt_write $term, $octets
395 Called whenever some data is written to the tty/pty and can be used
396 to suppress or filter tty input.
397
398 on_line_update $term, $row
399 Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
400 screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only
401 lines that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance
402 reasons, not always immediately.
403
404 The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line
405 spans multiple rows.
406
407 Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get
408 called later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts
409 change), so you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set
410 them.
145 411
146 on_refresh_begin $term 412 on_refresh_begin $term
147 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay 413 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay
148 or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and 414 or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
149 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection 415 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection
155 on_keyboard_command $term, $string 421 on_keyboard_command $term, $string
156 Called whenever the user presses a key combination that has a 422 Called whenever the user presses a key combination that has a
157 "perl:string" action bound to it (see description of the keysym 423 "perl:string" action bound to it (see description of the keysym
158 resource in the rxvt(1) manpage). 424 resource in the rxvt(1) manpage).
159 425
426 on_x_event $term, $event
427 Called on every X event received on the vt window (and possibly
428 other windows). Should only be used as a last resort. Most event
429 structure members are not passed.
430
431 on_focus_in $term
432 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before
433 rxvt-unicode does focus in processing.
434
435 on_focus_out $term
436 Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before
437 rxvt-unicode does focus out processing.
438
439 on_configure_notify $term, $event
440 on_property_notify $term, $event
441 on_key_press $term, $event, $keysym, $octets
442 on_key_release $term, $event, $keysym
443 on_button_press $term, $event
444 on_button_release $term, $event
445 on_motion_notify $term, $event
446 on_map_notify $term, $event
447 on_unmap_notify $term, $event
448 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the
449 terminal If the hook returns true, then the even will be ignored by
450 rxvt-unicode.
451
452 The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the
453 XEvent manpage), with the additional members "row" and "col", which
454 are the (real, not screen-based) row and column under the mouse
455 cursor.
456
457 "on_key_press" additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would
458 output, if any, in locale-specific encoding.

460 subwindow.
461
462 on_client_message $term, $event
463 on_wm_protocols $term, $event
464 on_wm_delete_window $term, $event
465 Called when various types of ClientMessage events are received (all
466 with format=32, WM_PROTOCOLS or WM_PROTOCOLS:WM_DELETE_WINDOW).
467

484 @urxvt::TERM_INIT
485 All coderefs in this array will be called as methods of the next
486 newly created "urxvt::term" object (during the "on_init" phase). The
487 array gets cleared before the codereferences that were in it are
488 being executed, so coderefs can push themselves onto it again if
489 they so desire.
490
491 This complements to the perl-eval commandline option, but gets
492 executed first.
493
494 @urxvt::TERM_EXT
495 Works similar to @TERM_INIT, but contains perl package/class names,
496 which get registered as normal extensions after calling the hooks in
497 @TERM_INIT but before other extensions. Gets cleared just like
498 @TERM_INIT.

579 The "urxvt::anyevent" Class
580 The sole purpose of this class is to deliver an interface to the
581 "AnyEvent" module - any module using it will work inside urxvt without
582 further programming. The only exception is that you cannot wait on
583 condition variables, but non-blocking condvar use is ok. What this means
584 is that you cannot use blocking APIs, but the non-blocking variant
585 should work.
586
221 The "urxvt::term" Class 587 The "urxvt::term" Class
588 $term = new urxvt::term $envhashref, $rxvtname, [arg...]
589 Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with
590 system "$rxvtname, arg...". $envhashref must be a reference to a
591 %ENV-like hash which defines the environment of the new terminal.
592
593 Croaks (and probably outputs an error message) if the new instance
594 couldn't be created. Returns "undef" if the new instance didn't
595 initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The "init" and
596 "start" hooks will be called during this call.
597
598 $term->destroy
599 Destroy the terminal object (close the window, free resources etc.).
600 Please note that rxvt will not exit as long as any event watchers
601 (timers, io watchers) are still active.
602
603 $term->exec_async ($cmd[, @args])
604 Works like the combination of the "fork"/"exec" builtins, which
605 executes ("starts") programs in the background. This function takes
606 care of setting the user environment before exec'ing the command
607 (e.g. "PATH") and should be preferred over explicit calls to "exec"
608 or "system".
609
610 Returns the pid of the subprocess or "undef" on error.
611
612 $isset = $term->option ($optval[, $set])
613 Returns true if the option specified by $optval is enabled, and
614 optionally change it. All option values are stored by name in the
615 hash %urxvt::OPTION. Options not enabled in this binary are not in
616 the hash.

666 the same value as used by this instance of rxvt-unicode. Returns
667 "undef" if no resource with that pattern exists.
668
669 This method should only be called during the "on_start" hook, as
670 there is only one resource database per display, and later
671 invocations might return the wrong resources.
672
673 $success = $term->parse_keysym ($keysym_spec, $command_string)
674 Adds a keymap translation exactly as specified via a resource. See
675 the "keysym" resource in the rxvt(1) manpage.

682 Return the current coordinates of the text cursor position and
683 optionally set it (which is usually bad as applications don't expect
684 that).

692 $term->selection_make ($eventtime[, $rectangular])
693 Tries to make a selection as set by "selection_beg" and
694 "selection_end". If $rectangular is true (default: false), a
695 rectangular selection will be made. This is the prefered function to

760 $term->scr_xor_rect ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle1[,
761 $rstyle2]])
762 Similar to "scr_xor_span", but xors a rectangle instead. Trailing
763 whitespace will additionally be xored with the $rstyle2, which
764 defaults to "RS_RVid | RS_Uline", which removes reverse video again
765 and underlines it instead. Both styles *MUST NOT* contain font
766 styles.

771 $term->scr_add_lines ($string)
772 Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the
773 application running inside the terminal. It may not contain command
774 sequences (escape codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage
775 returns and tabs. The string is a normal text string, not in
776 locale-dependent encoding.
777
778 Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might
779 be confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful
780 inside a "on_add_lines" hook, though.
781
782 $term->scr_change_screen ($screen)
783 Switch to given screen - 0 primary, 1 secondary.
784
785 $term->cmd_parse ($octets)

325 Write the octets given in $data to the tty (i.e. as program input). 791 Write the octets given in $data to the tty (i.e. as program input).
326 To pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your 792 To pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your
327 strings first to the locale-specific encoding using 793 strings first to the locale-specific encoding using
328 "$term->locale_encode". 794 "$term->locale_encode".
329 795
796 $old_events = $term->pty_ev_events ([$new_events])
797 Replaces the event mask of the pty watcher by the given event mask.
798 Can be used to suppress input and output handling to the pty/tty.
