20 =head1 DESCRIPTION
21
22 Every time a terminal object gets created, extension scripts specified via
23 the C<perl> resource are loaded and associated with it.
24
25 Scripts are compiled in a 'use strict' and 'use utf8' environment, and
26 thus must be encoded as UTF-8.
27
28 Each script will only ever be loaded once, even in @@RXVT_NAME@@d, where
29 scripts will be shared (but not enabled) for all terminals.
30
31 You can disable the embedded perl interpreter by setting both "perl-ext"
32 and "perl-ext-common" resources to the empty string.
33
34 =head1 PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS
35
36 This section describes the extensions delivered with this release. You can
37 find them in F<@@RXVT_LIBDIR@@/urxvt/perl/>.
38
39 You can activate them like this:
40
41 @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe <extensionname>
42
43 Or by adding them to the resource for extensions loaded by default:
44
45 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform
46
47 =over 4
48
49 =item selection (enabled by default)
50
51 (More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent
52 when the user extends selections (double-click and further clicks). Right
53 now, it tries to select words, urls and complete shell-quoted
54 arguments, which is very convenient, too, if your F<ls> supports
55 C<--quoting-style=shell>.
56
57 A double-click usually selects the word under the cursor, further clicks
58 will enlarge the selection.
59
60 The selection works by trying to match a number of regexes and displaying
61 them in increasing order of length. You can add your own regexes by
62 specifying resources of the form:
63
64 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: perl-regex
65 URxvt.selection.pattern-1: perl-regex
66 ...
67
68 The index number (0, 1...) must not have any holes, and each regex must
69 contain at least one pair of capturing parentheses, which will be used for
70 the match. For example, the following adds a regex that matches everything
71 between two vertical bars:
72
73 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: \\|([^|]+)\\|
74
75 Another example: Programs I use often output "absolute path: " at the
76 beginning of a line when they process multiple files. The following
77 pattern matches the filename (note, there is a single space at the very
78 end):
79
80 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ^(/[^:]+):\
81
82 You can look at the source of the selection extension to see more
83 interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.
84
85 This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:
86
87 =over 4
88
89 =item rot13
90
91 Rot-13 the selection when activated. Used via keyboard trigger:
92
93 URxvt.keysym.C-M-r: perl:selection:rot13
94
95 =back
96
97 =item option-popup (enabled by default)
98
99 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at
100 runtime.
101
102 Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference
103 onto C<@{ $term->{option_popup_hook} }>, which gets called whenever the
104 popup is being displayed.
105
106 Its sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. It should
107 either return nothing or a string, the initial boolean value and a code
108 reference. The string will be used as button text and the code reference
109 will be called when the toggle changes, with the new boolean value as
110 first argument.
111
112 The following will add an entry C<myoption> that changes
113 C<< $self->{myoption} >>:
114
115 push @{ $self->{term}{option_popup_hook} }, sub {
116 ("my option" => $myoption, sub { $self->{myoption} = $_[0] })
117 };
118
119 =item selection-popup (enabled by default)
120
121 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button3 that lets you convert the selection
122 text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl
123 evaluation, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content.
124
125 Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference
126 onto C<@{ $term->{selection_popup_hook} }>, which gets called whenever the
127 popup is being displayed.
128
129 Its sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The selection
130 is in C<$_>, which can be used to decide whether to add something or not.
131 It should either return nothing or a string and a code reference. The
132 string will be used as button text and the code reference will be called
133 when the button gets activated and should transform C<$_>.
134
135 The following will add an entry C<a to b> that transforms all C<a>s in
136 the selection to C<b>s, but only if the selection currently contains any
137 C<a>s:
138
139 push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
140 /a/ ? ("a to b" => sub { s/a/b/g }
141 : ()
142 };
143
144 =item searchable-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)
145
146 Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
147 by a hotkey (default: C<M-s>). While in search mode, normal terminal
148 input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the
149 screen.
150
151 Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental
152 search. C<BackSpace> removes a character from the regex, C<Up> and C<Down>
153 search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, C<End> jumps to the
154 bottom. C<Escape> leaves search mode and returns to the point where search
155 was started, while C<Enter> or C<Return> stay at the current position and
156 additionally stores the first match in the current line into the primary
157 selection if the C<Shift> modifier is active.
158
159 The regex defaults to "(?i)", resulting in a case-insensitive search. To
160 get a case-sensitive search you can delete this prefix using C<BackSpace>
161 or simply use an uppercase character which removes the "(?i)" prefix.
162
163 See L<perlre> for more info about perl regular expression syntax.
164
165 =item readline (enabled by default)
166
167 A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier. At
168 the moment, it reacts to clicking shift-left mouse button by trying to
169 move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many
170 cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (this only works
171 for programs that correctly support wide characters).
172
173 To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
174
175 =over 4
176
177 =item - the tty is in ICANON state.
178
179 =item - the text cursor is visible.
180
181 =item - the primary screen is currently being displayed.
182
183 =item - the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor.
184
185 =back
186
187 The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive clicks
188 might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.
189
190 =item selection-autotransform
191
192 This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
193 whenever a selection is made.
194
195 It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single C<s///>
196 operator) that modify C<$_> as resources:
197
198 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
199 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
200 ...
201
202 For example, the following will transform selections of the form
203 C<filename:number>, often seen in compiler messages, into C<vi +$filename
204 $word>:
205
206 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/
207
208 And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can
209 paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
210
211 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
212
213 Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)
214
215 To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at
216 FILENAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
217
218 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.])
219 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
220
221 The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of
222 every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms
223 the message into vi commands to load the file.
224
225 =item tabbed
226
227 This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that
228 is, it implements what is commonly referred to as "tabbed terminal". The topmost line
229 displays a "[NEW]" button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one
230 button per tab.
231
232 Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing B<Shift-Left> and
233 B<Shift-Right> will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
234 while B<Shift-Down> creates a new tab.
235
236 The tabbar itself can be configured similarly to a normal terminal, but
237 with a resource class of C<URxvt.tabbed>. In addition, it supports the
238 following four resources (shown with defaults):
239
240 URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-fg: <colour-index, default 3>
241 URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-bg: <colour-index, default 0>
242 URxvt.tabbed.tab-fg: <colour-index, default 0>
243 URxvt.tabbed.tab-bg: <colour-index, default 1>
244
245 See I<COLOR AND GRAPHICS> in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage for valid
246 indices.
247
248 =item matcher
249
250 Uses per-line display filtering (C<on_line_update>) to underline text
251 matching a certain pattern and make it clickable. When clicked with the
252 mouse button specified in the C<matcher.button> resource (default 2, or
253 middle), the program specified in the C<matcher.launcher> resource
254 (default, the C<urlLauncher> resource, C<sensible-browser>) will be started
255 with the matched text as first argument. The default configuration is
256 suitable for matching URLs and launching a web browser, like the
257 former "mark-urls" extension.
258
259 The default pattern to match URLs can be overridden with the
260 C<matcher.pattern.0> resource, and additional patterns can be specified
261 with numbered patterns, in a manner similar to the "selection" extension.
262 The launcher can also be overridden on a per-pattern basis.
263
264 It is possible to activate the most recently seen match or a list of matches
265 from the keyboard. Simply bind a keysym to "perl:matcher:last" or
266 "perl:matcher:list" as seen in the example below.
267
268 Example configuration:
269
270 URxvt.perl-ext: default,matcher
271 URxvt.urlLauncher: sensible-browser
272 URxvt.keysym.C-Delete: perl:matcher:last
273 URxvt.keysym.M-Delete: perl:matcher:list
274 URxvt.matcher.button: 1
275 URxvt.matcher.pattern.1: \\bwww\\.[\\w-]+\\.[\\w./?&@#-]*[\\w/-]
276 URxvt.matcher.pattern.2: \\B(/\\S+?):(\\d+)(?=:|$)
277 URxvt.matcher.launcher.2: gvim +$2 $1
278
279 =item xim-onthespot
280
281 This (experimental) perl extension implements OnTheSpot editing. It does
282 not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work well with
283 OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at least for SCIM and
284 kinput2.
285
286 You enable it by specifying this extension and a preedit style of
287 C<OnTheSpot>, i.e.:
288
289 @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pt OnTheSpot -pe xim-onthespot
290
291 =item kuake<hotkey>
292
293 A very primitive quake-console-like extension. It was inspired by a
294 description of how the programs C<kuake> and C<yakuake> work: Whenever the
295 user presses a global accelerator key (by default C<F10>), the terminal
296 will show or hide itself. Another press of the accelerator key will hide
297 or show it again.
298
299 Initially, the window will not be shown when using this extension.
300
301 This is useful if you need a single terminal that is not using any desktop
302 space most of the time but is quickly available at the press of a key.
303
304 The accelerator key is grabbed regardless of any modifiers, so this
305 extension will actually grab a physical key just for this function.
306
307 If you want a quake-like animation, tell your window manager to do so
308 (fvwm can do it).
309
310 =item overlay-osc
311
312 This extension implements some OSC commands to display timed popups on the
313 screen - useful for status displays from within scripts. You have to read
314 the sources for more info.
315
316 =item block-graphics-to-ascii
317
318 A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal
319 by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a
320 similar-looking ascii character.
321
322 =item digital-clock
323
324 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
325
326 =item remote-clipboard
327
328 Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
329 selection popup that allows one to run external commands to store the
330 selection somewhere and fetch it again.
331
332 We use it to implement a "distributed selection mechanism", which just
333 means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another
334 reads it.
335
336 The commands can be set using the C<URxvt.remote-selection.store> and
337 C<URxvt.remote-selection.fetch> resources. The first should read the
338 selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should provide
339 the selection data on STDOUT (also in UTF-8).
340
341 The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:
342
343 URxvt.remote-selection.store: rsh ruth 'cat >/tmp/distributed-selection'
344 URxvt.remote-selection.fetch: rsh ruth 'cat /tmp/distributed-selection'
345
346 =item selection-pastebin
347
348 This is a little rarely useful extension that uploads the selection as
349 textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is
350 not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to
351 F</tmp> directly.).
352
353 It listens to the C<selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin> keyboard command,
354 i.e.
355
356 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
357
358 Pressing this combination runs a command with C<%> replaced by the name of
359 the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
360
361 URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
362
363 And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people around
364 here :)
365
366 The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so
367 the same content should lead to the same filename.
368
369 After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given
370 in the C<selection-pastebin-url> resource (again, the % is the placeholder
371 for the filename):
372
373 URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/%
374
375 I<Note to xrdb users:> xrdb uses the C preprocessor, which might interpret
376 the double C</> characters as comment start. Use C<\057\057> instead,
377 which works regardless of whether xrdb is used to parse the resource file
378 or not.
379
380 =item macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
381
382 These two modules implement an extended clipboard for Mac OS X. They are
383 used like this:
384
385 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,macosx-clipboard
386 URxvt.keysym.M-c: perl:macosx-clipboard:copy
387 URxvt.keysym.M-v: perl:macosx-clipboard:paste
388
389 The difference between them is that the native variant requires a
390 perl from apple's devkit or so, and C<macosx-clipboard> requires the
391 C<Mac::Pasteboard> module, works with other perls, has fewer bugs, is
392 simpler etc. etc.
393
394 =item example-refresh-hooks
395
396 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the
397 window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own
398 overlays or changes.
399
400 =item confirm-paste
401
402 Displays a confirmation dialog when a paste containing at least a full
403 line is detected.
404
405 =item bell-command
406
407 Runs the command specified by the C<URxvt.bell-command> resource when
408 a bell event occurs. For example, the following pops up a notification
409 bubble with the text "Beep, Beep" using notify-send:
410
411 URxvt.bell-command: notify-send "Beep, Beep"

414
415 =head1 API DOCUMENTATION
416
417 =head2 General API Considerations
418
419 All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
420 reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
421 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as C<_ptr> or
422 C<_hook>) are reserved for internal uses and B<MUST NOT> be accessed or
423 modified).
424
425 When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are
426 emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
427 the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
428 terminal is destroyed.
429
430 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are some
431 hints on what they mean:
432
433 =over 4
434
435 =item $text
436
437 Rxvt-unicode's special way of encoding text, where one "unicode" character
438 always represents one screen cell. See L<ROW_t> for a discussion of this format.
439
440 =item $string
441
442 A perl text string, with an emphasis on I<text>. It can store all unicode
443 characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a specific
444 encoding (often locale-specific) and binary data.
445
446 =item $octets
447
448 Either binary data or - more common - a text string encoded in a
449 locale-specific way.
450
451 =item $keysym
452
453 an integer that is a valid X11 keysym code. You can convert a string
454 into a keysym and viceversa by using C<XStringToKeysym> and
455 C<XKeysymToString>.
456
457 =back
458
459 =head2 Extension Objects
460
461 Every perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
462 for each terminal, and each terminal has its own set of extension objects,
463 which are passed as the first parameter to hooks. So extensions can use
464 their C<$self> object without having to think about clashes with other
465 extensions or other terminals, with the exception of methods and members
466 that begin with an underscore character C<_>: these are reserved for
467 internal use.
468
469 Although it isn't a C<urxvt::term> object, you can call all methods of the
470 C<urxvt::term> class on this object.
471
472 It has the following methods and data members:
473
474 =over 4
475
476 =item $urxvt_term = $self->{term}
477
478 Returns the C<urxvt::term> object associated with this instance of the
479 extension. This member I<must not> be changed in any way.
480
481 =item $self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])
482
483 Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the C<on_> prefix) for
484 this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when you want
485 to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
486
487 =item $self->disable ($hook_name[, $hook_name..])
488
489 Dynamically disable the given hooks.
490
491 =back
492
493 =head2 Hooks
494
495 The following subroutines can be declared in extension files, and will be
496 called whenever the relevant event happens.
497
498 The first argument passed to them is an extension object as described in
499 the in the C<Extension Objects> section.
500
501 B<All> of these hooks must return a boolean value. If any of the called
502 hooks returns true, then the event counts as being I<consumed>, and the
503 relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.
504
505 I<< When in doubt, return a false value (preferably C<()>). >>
506
507 =over 4
508
509 =item on_init $term
510
511 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
512 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to
513 call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics
514 have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources
515 and options, though. For many purposes the C<on_start> hook is a better
516 place.
517
518 =item on_start $term
519
520 Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before
521 trying to map (display) the toplevel and returning to the main loop.
522
523 =item on_destroy $term
524
525 Called whenever something tries to destroy terminal, when the terminal is
526 still fully functional (not for long, though).
527
528 =item on_reset $term
529
530 Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing or
531 control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
532 variables.
533
534 =item on_child_start $term, $pid
535
536 Called just after the child process has been C<fork>ed.
537
538 =item on_child_exit $term, $status
539
540 Called just after the child process has exited. C<$status> is the status
541 from C<waitpid>.
542
543 =item on_sel_make $term, $eventtime
544
545 Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
546 selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
547 selection will be honored.
548
549 Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
550 have to make a selection yourself by calling C<< $term->selection_grab >>.
551
552 =item on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime
553
554 Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
555 requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
556 by calling C<< $term->selection >>.
557
558 Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be highlighted.
559
560 =item on_sel_extend $term
561
562 Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double
563 click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or
564 should extend the selection itself and return true to suppress the built-in
565 processing. This can happen multiple times, as long as the callback
566 returns true, it will be called on every further click by the user and is
567 supposed to enlarge the selection more and more, if possible.
568
569 See the F<selection> example extension.
570
571 =item on_view_change $term, $offset
572
573 Called whenever the view offset changes, i.e. the user or program
574 scrolls. Offset C<0> means display the normal terminal, positive values
575 show this many lines of scrollback.
576
577 =item on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved
578
579 Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
580 buffer. C<$lines> is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
581 than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
582
583 It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines - 1,
584 $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). C<$saved> is the total
585 number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
586
587 =item on_osc_seq $term, $op, $args, $resp
588
589 Called on every OSC sequence and can be used to suppress it or modify its
590 behaviour. The default should be to return an empty list. A true value
591 suppresses execution of the request completely. Make sure you don't get
592 confused by recursive invocations when you output an OSC sequence within
593 this callback.
594
595 C<on_osc_seq_perl> should be used for new behaviour.
596
597 =item on_osc_seq_perl $term, $args, $resp
598
599 Called whenever the B<ESC ] 777 ; string ST> command sequence (OSC =
600 operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
601 information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
602 string should start with the extension name (sans -osc) and a semicolon,
603 to distinguish it from commands for other extensions, and this might be
604 enforced in the future.
605
606 For example, C<overlay-osc> uses this:
607
608 sub on_osc_seq_perl {
609 my ($self, $osc, $resp) = @_;
610
611 return unless $osc =~ s/^overlay;//;
612
613 ... process remaining $osc string
614 }
615
616 Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you receive,
617 as its source can not easily be controlled (e-mail content, messages from
618 other users on the same system etc.).
619
620 For responses, C<$resp> contains the end-of-args separator used by the
621 sender.
622
623 =item on_add_lines $term, $string
624
625 Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as argument. You
626 can filter/change and output the text yourself by returning a true value
627 and calling C<< $term->scr_add_lines >> yourself. Please note that this
628 might be very slow, however, as your hook is called for B<all> text being
629 output.
630
631 =item on_tt_write $term, $octets
632
633 Called whenever some data is written to the tty/pty and can be used to
634 suppress or filter tty input.
635
636 =item on_tt_paste $term, $octets
637
638 Called whenever text is about to be pasted, with the text as argument. You
639 can filter/change and paste the text yourself by returning a true value
640 and calling C<< $term->tt_paste >> yourself. C<$octets> is
641 locale-encoded.
642
643 =item on_line_update $term, $row
644
645 Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
646 screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only lines
647 that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons,
648 not always immediately.
649
650 The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line spans
651 multiple rows.
652
653 Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get called
654 later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts change), so
655 you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set them.
656
657 =item on_refresh_begin $term
658
659 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay or
660 similar effects by modifying the terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
661 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
662 code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
663
664 =item on_refresh_end $term
665
666 Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See C<on_refresh_begin>.
667
668 =item on_user_command $term, $string
669
670 Called whenever a user-configured event is being activated (e.g. via
671 a C<perl:string> action bound to a key, see description of the B<keysym>
672 resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).
673
674 The event is simply the action string. This interface is assumed to change
675 slightly in the future.
676
677 =item on_resize_all_windows $term, $new_width, $new_height
678
679 Called just after the new window size has been calculated, but before
680 windows are actually being resized or hints are being set. If this hook
681 returns TRUE, setting of the window hints is being skipped.
682
683 =item on_x_event $term, $event
684
685 Called on every X event received on the vt window (and possibly other
686 windows). Should only be used as a last resort. Most event structure
687 members are not passed.
688
689 =item on_root_event $term, $event
690
691 Like C<on_x_event>, but is called for events on the root window.
692
693 =item on_focus_in $term
694
695 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode
696 does focus in processing.
697
698 =item on_focus_out $term
699
700 Called whenever the window loses keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode does
701 focus out processing.
702
703 =item on_configure_notify $term, $event
704
705 =item on_property_notify $term, $event
706
707 =item on_key_press $term, $event, $keysym, $octets
708
709 =item on_key_release $term, $event, $keysym

716
717 =item on_map_notify $term, $event
718
719 =item on_unmap_notify $term, $event
720
721 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the terminal. If
722 the hook returns true, then the event will be ignored by rxvt-unicode.
723
724 The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the XEvent
725 manpage), with the additional members C<row> and C<col>, which are the
726 (real, not screen-based) row and column under the mouse cursor.
727
728 C<on_key_press> additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would
729 output, if any, in locale-specific encoding.

734
735 =item on_wm_protocols $term, $event
736
737 =item on_wm_delete_window $term, $event
738
739 Called when various types of ClientMessage events are received (all with
740 format=32, WM_PROTOCOLS or WM_PROTOCOLS:WM_DELETE_WINDOW).
741
742 =item on_bell $term
743

776
777 =item $urxvt::LIBDIR
778
779 The rxvt-unicode library directory, where, among other things, the perl
780 modules and scripts are stored.
781
782 =item $urxvt::RESCLASS, $urxvt::RESCLASS
783
784 The resource class and name rxvt-unicode uses to look up X resources.
785
786 =item $urxvt::RXVTNAME
787
788 The basename of the installed binaries, usually C<urxvt>.
789
790 =item $urxvt::TERM
791
792 The current terminal. This variable stores the current C<urxvt::term>
793 object, whenever a callback/hook is executing.
794
795 =item @urxvt::TERM_INIT
796
797 All code references in this array will be called as methods of the next newly
798 created C<urxvt::term> object (during the C<on_init> phase). The array
799 gets cleared before the code references that were in it are being executed,
800 so references can push themselves onto it again if they so desire.
801
802 This complements to the perl-eval command line option, but gets executed
803 first.
804
805 =item @urxvt::TERM_EXT
806
807 Works similar to C<@TERM_INIT>, but contains perl package/class names, which
808 get registered as normal extensions after calling the hooks in C<@TERM_INIT>
809 but before other extensions. Gets cleared just like C<@TERM_INIT>.

814

816
817 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
818
819 Fatally aborts execution with the given error message (which should
820 include a trailing newline). Avoid at all costs! The only time this
821 is acceptable (and useful) is in the init hook, where it prevents the
822 terminal from starting up.
823
824 =item urxvt::warn $string
825
826 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should include a trailing
827 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
828 that calls this function.
829
830 Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
831 correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
832
833 Messages have a size limit of 1023 bytes currently.
834
835 =item @terms = urxvt::termlist
836
837 Returns all urxvt::term objects that exist in this process, regardless of
838 whether they are started, being destroyed etc., so be careful. Only term
839 objects that have perl extensions attached will be returned (because there
840 is no urxvt::term object associated with others).
841

873
874 Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
875 similar information for each screen cell.
876
877 The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
878 never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
879 as they contain important information required for correct operation of
880 rxvt-unicode.
881
882 =over 4
883
884 =item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
885
886 Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
887 being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
888
889 =item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
890
891 Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
892
893 =item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, urxvt::RS_Italic, urxvt::RS_Blink,
894 urxvt::RS_RVid, urxvt::RS_Uline
895
896 Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
897 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
898 the bitset.
899
900 =item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend

912 Replace the foreground/background colour in the rendition mask with the
913 specified one.
914
915 =item $value = urxvt::GET_CUSTOM $rend
916
917 Return the "custom" value: Every rendition has 5 bits for use by
918 extensions. They can be set and changed as you like and are initially
919 zero.
920
921 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_CUSTOM $rend, $new_value

1152 =head2 The C<urxvt::anyevent> Class
1153
1154 The sole purpose of this class is to deliver an interface to the
1155 C<AnyEvent> module - any module using it will work inside urxvt without
1156 further programming. The only exception is that you cannot wait on
1157 condition variables, but non-blocking condvar use is ok. What this means
1158 is that you cannot use blocking APIs, but the non-blocking variant should
1159 work.

1267 =item $term = new urxvt::term $envhashref, $rxvtname, [arg...]
1268
1269 Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with system
1270 C<$rxvtname, arg...>. C<$envhashref> must be a reference to a C<%ENV>-like
1271 hash which defines the environment of the new terminal.
1272
1273 Croaks (and probably outputs an error message) if the new instance
1274 couldn't be created. Returns C<undef> if the new instance didn't
1275 initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The C<init> and
1276 C<start> hooks will be called before this call returns, and are free to
1277 refer to global data (which is race free).

1294 watchers (timers, io watchers) are still active.
1295
1296 =item $term->exec_async ($cmd[, @args])
1297
1298 Works like the combination of the C<fork>/C<exec> builtins, which executes
1299 ("starts") programs in the background. This function takes care of setting
1300 the user environment before exec'ing the command (e.g. C<PATH>) and should
1301 be preferred over explicit calls to C<exec> or C<system>.
1302
1303 Returns the pid of the subprocess or C<undef> on error.

1338 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
1339
1340 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
1341 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
1342 hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
1343
1344 The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
1345 before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
1346 to be converted from the used encoding to text.
1347
1348 Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified
1349 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
1350 likely change).
1351
1352 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
1353 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.

1381
1382 =item $value = $term->x_resource ($pattern)
1383
1384 Returns the X-Resource for the given pattern, excluding the program or
1385 class name, i.e. C<< $term->x_resource ("boldFont") >> should return the
1386 same value as used by this instance of rxvt-unicode. Returns C<undef> if no
1387 resource with that pattern exists.
1388
1389 This method should only be called during the C<on_start> hook, as there is
1390 only one resource database per display, and later invocations might return
1391 the wrong resources.
1392
1393 =item $success = $term->parse_keysym ($key, $octets)
1394
1395 Adds a key binding exactly as specified via a resource. See the
1396 C<keysym> resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage.
1397
1398 =item $rend = $term->rstyle ([$new_rstyle])
1399
1400 Return and optionally change the current rendition. Text that is output by
1401 the terminal application will use this style.
1402
1403 =item ($row, $col) = $term->screen_cur ([$row, $col])
1404
1405 Return the current coordinates of the text cursor position and optionally
1406 set it (which is usually bad as applications don't expect that).
1407
1408 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_mark ([$row, $col])
1409
1410 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_beg ([$row, $col])
1411
1412 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_end ([$row, $col])
1413
1414 Return the current values of the selection mark, begin or end positions.
1415
1416 When arguments are given, then the selection coordinates are set to
1417 C<$row> and C<$col>, and the selection screen is set to the current
1418 screen.
1419
1420 =item $screen = $term->selection_screen ([$screen])
1421
1422 Returns the current selection screen, and then optionally sets it.
1423
1424 =item $term->selection_make ($eventtime[, $rectangular])
1425
1426 Tries to make a selection as set by C<selection_beg> and
1427 C<selection_end>. If C<$rectangular> is true (default: false), a
1428 rectangular selection will be made. This is the preferred function to make
1429 a selection.
1430
1431 =item $success = $term->selection_grab ($eventtime[, $clipboard])
1432
1433 Try to acquire ownership of the primary (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is
1434 true) selection from the server. The corresponding text can be set
1435 with the next method. No visual feedback will be given. This function
1436 is mostly useful from within C<on_sel_grab> hooks.
1437
1438 =item $oldtext = $term->selection ([$newtext, $clipboard])
1439
1440 Return the current selection (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is true) text
1441 and optionally replace it by C<$newtext>.
1442
1443 =item $term->selection_clear ([$clipboard])
1444
1445 Revoke ownership of the primary (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is true) selection.
1446
1447 =item $term->overlay_simple ($x, $y, $text)

1462
1463 $overlay
1464 }
1465
1466 =item $term->overlay ($x, $y, $width, $height[, $rstyle[, $border]])
1467
1468 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
1469 width/height. C<$rstyle> defines the initial rendition style
1470 (default: C<OVERLAY_RSTYLE>).
1471
1472 If C<$border> is C<2> (default), then a decorative border will be put
1473 around the box.
1474
1475 If either C<$x> or C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the
1476 right/bottom side, respectively.
1477
1478 This method returns an urxvt::overlay object. The overlay will be visible
1479 as long as the perl object is referenced.
1480
1481 The methods currently supported on C<urxvt::overlay> objects are:
1482
1483 =over 4
1484
1485 =item $overlay->set ($x, $y, $text[, $rend])
1486
1487 Similar to C<< $term->ROW_t >> and C<< $term->ROW_r >> in that it puts
1488 text in rxvt-unicode's special encoding and an array of rendition values
1489 at a specific position inside the overlay.
1490
1491 If C<$rend> is missing, then the rendition will not be changed.
1492
1493 =item $overlay->hide
1494
1495 If visible, hide the overlay, but do not destroy it.
1496
1497 =item $overlay->show
1498
1499 If hidden, display the overlay again.
1500
1501 =back
1502
1503 =item $popup = $term->popup ($event)
1504
1505 Creates a new C<urxvt::popup> object that implements a popup menu. The
1506 C<$event> I<must> be the event causing the menu to pop up (a button event,
1507 currently).
1508

1527 $popup
1528 }
1529
1530 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth ($string)
1531
1532 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
1533 accounts for wide and combining characters.
1534
1535 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode ($string)
1536
1537 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
1538
1539 =item $string = $term->locale_decode ($octets)
1540
1541 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
1542
1543 =item $term->scr_xor_span ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle])
1544
1545 XORs the rendition values in the given span with the provided value
1546 (default: C<RS_RVid>), which I<MUST NOT> contain font styles. Useful in
1547 refresh hooks to provide effects similar to the selection.
1548
1549 =item $term->scr_xor_rect ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle1[, $rstyle2]])
1550
1551 Similar to C<scr_xor_span>, but xors a rectangle instead. Trailing
1552 whitespace will additionally be xored with the C<$rstyle2>, which defaults
1553 to C<RS_RVid | RS_Uline>, which removes reverse video again and underlines
1554 it instead. Both styles I<MUST NOT> contain font styles.
1555
1556 =item $term->scr_bell
1557
1558 Ring the bell!
1559
1560 =item $term->scr_add_lines ($string)
1561
1562 Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the application
1563 running inside the terminal. It may not contain command sequences (escape
1564 codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage returns and tabs. The
1565 string is a normal text string, not in locale-dependent encoding.
1566
1567 Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might be
1568 confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful inside a
1569 C<on_add_lines> hook, though.
1570
1571 =item $term->scr_change_screen ($screen)
1572
1573 Switch to given screen - 0 primary, 1 secondary.
1574
1575 =item $term->cmd_parse ($octets)
1576
1577 Similar to C<scr_add_lines>, but the argument must be in the
1578 locale-specific encoding of the terminal and can contain command sequences
1579 (escape codes) that will be interpreted.
1580
1581 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
1582
1583 Write the octets given in C<$octets> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
1584 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
1585 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
1586
1587 =item $term->tt_paste ($octets)
1588
1589 Write the octets given in C<$octets> to the tty as a paste, converting NL to
1590 CR and bracketing the data with control sequences if bracketed paste mode
1591 is set.
1592
1593 =item $old_events = $term->pty_ev_events ([$new_events])
1594
1595 Replaces the event mask of the pty watcher by the given event mask. Can
1596 be used to suppress input and output handling to the pty/tty. See the
1597 description of C<< urxvt::timer->events >>. Make sure to always restore
1598 the previous value.
1599
1600 =item $fd = $term->pty_fd
1601
1602 Returns the master file descriptor for the pty in use, or C<-1> if no pty
1603 is used.
1604
1605 =item $windowid = $term->parent
1606
1607 Return the window id of the toplevel window.
1608
1609 =item $windowid = $term->vt
1610
1611 Return the window id of the terminal window.
1612
1613 =item $term->vt_emask_add ($x_event_mask)
1614
1615 Adds the specified events to the vt event mask. Useful e.g. when you want
1616 to receive pointer events all the times:
1617
1618 $term->vt_emask_add (urxvt::PointerMotionMask);
1619
1620 =item $term->focus_in

1657
1658 Return the DISPLAY used by rxvt-unicode.
1659
1660 =item $lc_ctype = $term->locale
1661
1662 Returns the LC_CTYPE category string used by this rxvt-unicode.
1663
1664 =item $env = $term->env
1665
1666 Returns a copy of the environment in effect for the terminal as a hashref
1667 similar to C<\%ENV>.
1668

1689
1690 Return the modifier masks corresponding to the "ISO Level 3 Shift" (often
1691 AltGr), the meta key (often Alt) and the num lock key, if applicable.
1692
1693 =item $screen = $term->current_screen
1694
1695 Returns the currently displayed screen (0 primary, 1 secondary).
1696
1697 =item $cursor_is_hidden = $term->hidden_cursor
1698
1699 Returns whether the cursor is currently hidden or not.
1700

1702
1703 Returns the row number of the topmost displayed line. Maximum value is

1705 this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
1706
1707 =item $term->want_refresh
1708
1709 Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
1710 compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
1711 differ, it redraws the differences.
1712
1713 Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
1714
1715 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
1716
1717 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<< $term->top_row >>
1718 is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->nrow-1 >> is the bottommost
1719 terminal line. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
1720 is requested.
1721
1722 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
1723 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
1724 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
1725 automatically be updated.
1726
1727 C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
1728 than one cell when displayed are padded with C<$urxvt::NOCHAR> (chr 65535)
1729 characters. Characters with combining characters and other characters that
1730 do not fit into the normal text encoding will be replaced with characters
1731 in the private use area.
1732
1733 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
1734 that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
1735 characters.
1736
1737 The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
1738 can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
1739
1740 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
1741
1742 Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
1743 bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
1744 styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
1745
1746 When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
1747
1748 See the section on RENDITION, above.
1749
1750 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
1751
1752 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line
1753 length"). Unlike the urxvt core, this returns C<< $term->ncol >> if the
1754 line is joined with the following one.
1755
1756 =item $bool = $term->is_longer ($row_number)
1757
1758 Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical "line" (i.e.
1759 joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
1760 and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
1761 previous row(s)).
1762
1763 =item $line = $term->line ($row_number)
1764
1765 Create and return a new C<urxvt::line> object that stores information
1766 about the logical line that row C<$row_number> is part of. It supports the
1767 following methods:
1768
1769 =over 4
1770
1771 =item $text = $line->t ([$new_text])
1772
1773 Returns or replaces the full text of the line, similar to C<ROW_t>
1774
1775 =item $rend = $line->r ([$new_rend])
1776
1777 Returns or replaces the full rendition array of the line, similar to C<ROW_r>
1778
1779 =item $length = $line->l
1780
1781 Returns the length of the line in cells, similar to C<ROW_l>.
1782
1783 =item $rownum = $line->beg
1784
1785 =item $rownum = $line->end
1786
1787 Return the row number of the first/last row of the line, respectively.
1788
1789 =item $offset = $line->offset_of ($row, $col)
1790
1791 Returns the character offset of the given row|col pair within the logical
1792 line. Works for rows outside the line, too, and returns corresponding
1793 offsets outside the string.
1794
1795 =item ($row, $col) = $line->coord_of ($offset)
1796
1797 Translates a string offset into terminal coordinates again.
