132=item selection-autotransform 139=item readline (enabled by default)
133
134This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
135whenever a selection is made.
136
137It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single C<s///>
138operator) that modify C<$_> as resources:
139
140 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
141 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
142 ...
143
144For example, the following will transform selections of the form
145C<filename:number>, often seen in compiler messages, into C<vi +$filename
146$word>:
147
148 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/
149
150And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can
151paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
152
153 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
154
155Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)
156
157To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at
158FILENAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
159
160 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.])
161 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
162
163The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of
164every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms
165the message into vi commands to load the file.

164=item selection-autotransform
165
166This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
167whenever a selection is made.
168
169It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single C<s///>
170operator) that modify C<$_> as resources:
171
172 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
173 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
174 ...
175
176For example, the following will transform selections of the form
177C<filename:number>, often seen in compiler messages, into C<vi +$filename
178$word>:
179
180 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/
181
182And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can
183paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
184
185 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
186
187Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)
188
189To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at
190FILENAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
191

252
253We use it to implement a "distributed selection mechanism", which just
254means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another
255reads it.
256
257The commands can be set using the C<URxvt.remote-selection.store> and
258C<URxvt.remote-selection.fetch> resources. The first should read the
259selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should provide
260the selection data on STDOUT (also in UTF-8).
261
262The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:
