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_register_command $term, $keysym, $modifiermask, $string
678
679 Called after parsing a keysym resource but before registering the
680 associated binding. If this hook returns TRUE the binding is not
681 registered. It can be used to modify a binding by calling
682 C<register_command>.
683
684 =item on_resize_all_windows $term, $new_width, $new_height
685
686 Called just after the new window size has been calculated, but before
687 windows are actually being resized or hints are being set. If this hook
688 returns TRUE, setting of the window hints is being skipped.
689
690 =item on_x_event $term, $event
691
692 Called on every X event received on the vt window (and possibly other
693 windows). Should only be used as a last resort. Most event structure
694 members are not passed.
695
696 =item on_root_event $term, $event
697
698 Like C<on_x_event>, but is called for events on the root window.
699
700 =item on_focus_in $term
701
702 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode
703 does focus in processing.
704
705 =item on_focus_out $term
706
707 Called whenever the window loses keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode does
708 focus out processing.
709
710 =item on_configure_notify $term, $event
711
712 =item on_property_notify $term, $event
713
714 =item on_key_press $term, $event, $keysym, $octets
715
716 =item on_key_release $term, $event, $keysym

723
724 =item on_map_notify $term, $event
725
726 =item on_unmap_notify $term, $event
727
728 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the terminal. If
729 the hook returns true, then the event will be ignored by rxvt-unicode.
730
731 The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the XEvent
732 manpage), with the additional members C<row> and C<col>, which are the
733 (real, not screen-based) row and column under the mouse cursor.
734
735 C<on_key_press> additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would
736 output, if any, in locale-specific encoding.

741
742 =item on_wm_protocols $term, $event
743
744 =item on_wm_delete_window $term, $event
745
746 Called when various types of ClientMessage events are received (all with
747 format=32, WM_PROTOCOLS or WM_PROTOCOLS:WM_DELETE_WINDOW).
748
749 =item on_bell $term
750

783
784 =item $urxvt::LIBDIR
785
786 The rxvt-unicode library directory, where, among other things, the perl
787 modules and scripts are stored.
788
789 =item $urxvt::RESCLASS, $urxvt::RESCLASS
790
791 The resource class and name rxvt-unicode uses to look up X resources.
792
793 =item $urxvt::RXVTNAME
794
795 The basename of the installed binaries, usually C<urxvt>.
796
797 =item $urxvt::TERM
798
799 The current terminal. This variable stores the current C<urxvt::term>
800 object, whenever a callback/hook is executing.
801
802 =item @urxvt::TERM_INIT
803
804 All code references in this array will be called as methods of the next newly
805 created C<urxvt::term> object (during the C<on_init> phase). The array
806 gets cleared before the code references that were in it are being executed,
807 so references can push themselves onto it again if they so desire.
808
809 This complements to the perl-eval command line option, but gets executed
810 first.
811
812 =item @urxvt::TERM_EXT
813
814 Works similar to C<@TERM_INIT>, but contains perl package/class names, which
815 get registered as normal extensions after calling the hooks in C<@TERM_INIT>
816 but before other extensions. Gets cleared just like C<@TERM_INIT>.

820 =head2 Functions in the C<urxvt> Package
821
822 =over 4
823
824 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
825
826 Fatally aborts execution with the given error message (which should
827 include a trailing newline). Avoid at all costs! The only time this
828 is acceptable (and useful) is in the init hook, where it prevents the
829 terminal from starting up.
830
831 =item urxvt::warn $string
832
833 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should include a trailing
834 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
835 that calls this function.
836
837 Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
838 correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
839
840 Messages have a size limit of 1023 bytes currently.
841
842 =item @terms = urxvt::termlist
843
844 Returns all urxvt::term objects that exist in this process, regardless of
845 whether they are started, being destroyed etc., so be careful. Only term
846 objects that have perl extensions attached will be returned (because there
847 is no urxvt::term object associated with others).
848
849 =item $time = urxvt::NOW

880
881 Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
882 similar information for each screen cell.
883
884 The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
885 never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
886 as they contain important information required for correct operation of
887 rxvt-unicode.
888
889 =over 4
890
891 =item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
892
893 Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
894 being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
895
896 =item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
897
898 Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
899
900 =item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, urxvt::RS_Italic, urxvt::RS_Blink,
901 urxvt::RS_RVid, urxvt::RS_Uline
902
903 Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
904 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
905 the bitset.
906
907 =item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend
908
909 =item $background = urxvt::GET_BASEBG $rend

919 Replace the foreground/background colour in the rendition mask with the
920 specified one.
921
922 =item $value = urxvt::GET_CUSTOM $rend
923
924 Return the "custom" value: Every rendition has 5 bits for use by
925 extensions. They can be set and changed as you like and are initially
926 zero.
927
928 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_CUSTOM $rend, $new_value

1182
1183 The sole purpose of this class is to deliver an interface to the
1184 C<AnyEvent> module - any module using it will work inside urxvt without
1185 further programming. The only exception is that you cannot wait on
1186 condition variables, but non-blocking condvar use is ok. What this means
1187 is that you cannot use blocking APIs, but the non-blocking variant should
1188 work.

1296 =item $term = new urxvt::term $envhashref, $rxvtname, [arg...]
1297
1298 Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with system
1299 C<$rxvtname, arg...>. C<$envhashref> must be a reference to a C<%ENV>-like
1300 hash which defines the environment of the new terminal.
1301
1302 Croaks (and probably outputs an error message) if the new instance
1303 couldn't be created. Returns C<undef> if the new instance didn't
1304 initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The C<init> and
1305 C<start> hooks will be called before this call returns, and are free to
1306 refer to global data (which is race free).

1323 watchers (timers, io watchers) are still active.
1324
1325 =item $term->exec_async ($cmd[, @args])
1326
1327 Works like the combination of the C<fork>/C<exec> builtins, which executes
1328 ("starts") programs in the background. This function takes care of setting
1329 the user environment before exec'ing the command (e.g. C<PATH>) and should
1330 be preferred over explicit calls to C<exec> or C<system>.
1331
1332 Returns the pid of the subprocess or C<undef> on error.

1354 C<%urxvt::OPTION>. Options not enabled in this binary are not in the hash.

1366
1367 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
1368
1369 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
1370 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
1371 hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
1372
1373 The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
1374 before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
1375 to be converted from the used encoding to text.
1376
1377 Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified
1378 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
1379 likely change).
1380
1381 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
1382 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.

1410
1411 =item $value = $term->x_resource ($pattern)
1412
1413 Returns the X-Resource for the given pattern, excluding the program or
1414 class name, i.e. C<< $term->x_resource ("boldFont") >> should return the
1415 same value as used by this instance of rxvt-unicode. Returns C<undef> if no
1416 resource with that pattern exists.
1417
1418 This method should only be called during the C<on_start> hook, as there is
1419 only one resource database per display, and later invocations might return
1420 the wrong resources.
1421
1422 =item $success = $term->parse_keysym ($key, $octets)
1423
1424 Adds a key binding exactly as specified via a resource. See the
1425 C<keysym> resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage.
1426
1427 =item $term->register_command ($keysym, $modifiermask, $string)
1428
1429 Adds a key binding. This is a lower level api compared to
1430 C<parse_keysym>, as it expects a parsed key description, and can be
1431 used only inside either the C<on_init> hook, to add a binding, or the
1432 C<on_register_command> hook, to modify a parsed binding.
1433
1434 =item $rend = $term->rstyle ([$new_rstyle])
1435
1436 Return and optionally change the current rendition. Text that is output by
1437 the terminal application will use this style.
1438
1439 =item ($row, $col) = $term->screen_cur ([$row, $col])
1440
1441 Return the current coordinates of the text cursor position and optionally
1442 set it (which is usually bad as applications don't expect that).
1443
1444 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_mark ([$row, $col])
1445
1446 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_beg ([$row, $col])
1447
1448 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_end ([$row, $col])
1449
1450 Return the current values of the selection mark, begin or end positions.
1451
1452 When arguments are given, then the selection coordinates are set to
1453 C<$row> and C<$col>, and the selection screen is set to the current
1454 screen.
1455
1456 =item $screen = $term->selection_screen ([$screen])
1457
1458 Returns the current selection screen, and then optionally sets it.
1459
1460 =item $term->selection_make ($eventtime[, $rectangular])
1461
1462 Tries to make a selection as set by C<selection_beg> and
1463 C<selection_end>. If C<$rectangular> is true (default: false), a
1464 rectangular selection will be made. This is the preferred function to make
1465 a selection.
1466
1467 =item $success = $term->selection_grab ($eventtime[, $clipboard])
1468
1469 Try to acquire ownership of the primary (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is
1470 true) selection from the server. The corresponding text can be set
1471 with the next method. No visual feedback will be given. This function
1472 is mostly useful from within C<on_sel_grab> hooks.
1473
1474 =item $oldtext = $term->selection ([$newtext, $clipboard])
1475
1476 Return the current selection (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is true) text
1477 and optionally replace it by C<$newtext>.
1478
1479 =item $term->selection_clear ([$clipboard])
1480
1481 Revoke ownership of the primary (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is true) selection.
1482
1483 =item $term->overlay_simple ($x, $y, $text)

1498
1499 $overlay
1500 }
1501
1502 =item $term->overlay ($x, $y, $width, $height[, $rstyle[, $border]])
1503
1504 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
1505 width/height. C<$rstyle> defines the initial rendition style
1506 (default: C<OVERLAY_RSTYLE>).
1507
1508 If C<$border> is C<2> (default), then a decorative border will be put
1509 around the box.
1510
1511 If either C<$x> or C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the
1512 right/bottom side, respectively.
1513
1514 This method returns an urxvt::overlay object. The overlay will be visible
1515 as long as the perl object is referenced.
1516
1517 The methods currently supported on C<urxvt::overlay> objects are:
1518
1519 =over 4
1520
1521 =item $overlay->set ($x, $y, $text[, $rend])
1522
1523 Similar to C<< $term->ROW_t >> and C<< $term->ROW_r >> in that it puts
1524 text in rxvt-unicode's special encoding and an array of rendition values
1525 at a specific position inside the overlay.
1526
1527 If C<$rend> is missing, then the rendition will not be changed.
1528
1529 =item $overlay->hide
1530
1531 If visible, hide the overlay, but do not destroy it.
1532
1533 =item $overlay->show
1534
1535 If hidden, display the overlay again.
1536
1537 =back
1538
1539 =item $popup = $term->popup ($event)
1540
1541 Creates a new C<urxvt::popup> object that implements a popup menu. The
1542 C<$event> I<must> be the event causing the menu to pop up (a button event,
1543 currently).
1544

1562
1563 $popup
1564 }
1565
1566 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth ($string)
1567
1568 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
1569 accounts for wide and combining characters.
1570
1571 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode ($string)
1572
1573 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
1574
1575 =item $string = $term->locale_decode ($octets)
1576
1577 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
1578
1579 =item $term->scr_xor_span ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle])
1580
1581 XORs the rendition values in the given span with the provided value
1582 (default: C<RS_RVid>), which I<MUST NOT> contain font styles. Useful in
1583 refresh hooks to provide effects similar to the selection.
1584
1585 =item $term->scr_xor_rect ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle1[, $rstyle2]])
1586
1587 Similar to C<scr_xor_span>, but xors a rectangle instead. Trailing
1588 whitespace will additionally be xored with the C<$rstyle2>, which defaults
1589 to C<RS_RVid | RS_Uline>, which removes reverse video again and underlines
1590 it instead. Both styles I<MUST NOT> contain font styles.
1591
1592 =item $term->scr_bell
1593
1594 Ring the bell!
1595
1596 =item $term->scr_add_lines ($string)
1597
1598 Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the application
1599 running inside the terminal. It may not contain command sequences (escape
1600 codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage returns and tabs. The
1601 string is a normal text string, not in locale-dependent encoding.
1602
1603 Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might be
1604 confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful inside a
1605 C<on_add_lines> hook, though.
1606
1607 =item $term->scr_change_screen ($screen)
1608
1609 Switch to given screen - 0 primary, 1 secondary.
1610
1611 =item $term->cmd_parse ($octets)
1612
1613 Similar to C<scr_add_lines>, but the argument must be in the
1614 locale-specific encoding of the terminal and can contain command sequences
1615 (escape codes) that will be interpreted.
1616
1617 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
1618
1619 Write the octets given in C<$octets> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
1620 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
1621 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
1622
1623 =item $term->tt_paste ($octets)
1624
1625 Write the octets given in C<$octets> to the tty as a paste, converting NL to
1626 CR and bracketing the data with control sequences if bracketed paste mode
1627 is set.
1628
1629 =item $old_events = $term->pty_ev_events ([$new_events])
1630
1631 Replaces the event mask of the pty watcher by the given event mask. Can
1632 be used to suppress input and output handling to the pty/tty. See the
1633 description of C<< urxvt::timer->events >>. Make sure to always restore
1634 the previous value.
1635
1636 =item $fd = $term->pty_fd
1637
1638 Returns the master file descriptor for the pty in use, or C<-1> if no pty
1639 is used.
1640
1641 =item $windowid = $term->parent
1642
1643 Return the window id of the toplevel window.
1644
1645 =item $windowid = $term->vt
1646
1647 Return the window id of the terminal window.
1648
1649 =item $term->vt_emask_add ($x_event_mask)
1650
1651 Adds the specified events to the vt event mask. Useful e.g. when you want
1652 to receive pointer events all the times:
1653
1654 $term->vt_emask_add (urxvt::PointerMotionMask);
1655
1656 =item $term->set_urgency ($set)
1657
1658 Enable/disable the urgency hint on the toplevel window.
1659

1693
1694 Return various integers describing terminal characteristics.
1695
1696 =item $x_display = $term->display_id
1697
1698 Return the DISPLAY used by rxvt-unicode.
1699
1700 =item $lc_ctype = $term->locale
1701
1702 Returns the LC_CTYPE category string used by this rxvt-unicode.
1703
1704 =item $env = $term->env
1705
1706 Returns a copy of the environment in effect for the terminal as a hashref
1707 similar to C<\%ENV>.
1708
1709 =item @envv = $term->envv
1710
1711 Returns the environment as array of strings of the form C<VAR=VALUE>.

1713 =item @argv = $term->argv
1714
1715 Return the argument vector as this terminal, similar to @ARGV, but
1716 includes the program name as first element.

1725
1726 =item $modifiermask = $term->ModMetaMask
1727
1728 =item $modifiermask = $term->ModNumLockMask
1729
1730 Return the modifier masks corresponding to the "ISO Level 3 Shift" (often
1731 AltGr), the meta key (often Alt) and the num lock key, if applicable.
1732
1733 =item $screen = $term->current_screen
1734
1735 Returns the currently displayed screen (0 primary, 1 secondary).
1736
1737 =item $cursor_is_hidden = $term->hidden_cursor
1738
1739 Returns whether the cursor is currently hidden or not.
1740
1741 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
1742
1743 Returns the row number of the topmost displayed line. Maximum value is
1744 C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Lower values scroll
1745 this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
1746
1747 =item $term->want_refresh
1748
1749 Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
1750 compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
1751 differ, it redraws the differences.
1752
1753 Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
1754
1755 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
1756
1757 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<< $term->top_row >>
1758 is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->nrow-1 >> is the bottommost
1759 terminal line. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
1760 is requested.
1761
1762 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
1763 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
1764 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
1765 automatically be updated.
1766
1767 C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
1768 than one cell when displayed are padded with C<$urxvt::NOCHAR> (chr 65535)
1769 characters. Characters with combining characters and other characters that
1770 do not fit into the normal text encoding will be replaced with characters
1771 in the private use area.
1772
1773 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
1774 that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
1775 characters.
1776
1777 The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
1778 can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
1779
1780 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
1781
1782 Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
1783 bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
1784 styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
1785
1786 When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
1787
1788 See the section on RENDITION, above.
1789
1790 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
1791
1792 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line
1793 length"). Unlike the urxvt core, this returns C<< $term->ncol >> if the
1794 line is joined with the following one.
1795
1796 =item $bool = $term->is_longer ($row_number)
1797
1798 Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical "line" (i.e.
1799 joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
1800 and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
1801 previous row(s)).
1802
1803 =item $line = $term->line ($row_number)
1804
1805 Create and return a new C<urxvt::line> object that stores information
1806 about the logical line that row C<$row_number> is part of. It supports the
1807 following methods:
1808
1809 =over 4
1810
1811 =item $text = $line->t ([$new_text])
1812
1813 Returns or replaces the full text of the line, similar to C<ROW_t>
1814
1815 =item $rend = $line->r ([$new_rend])
1816
1817 Returns or replaces the full rendition array of the line, similar to C<ROW_r>
1818
1819 =item $length = $line->l
1820
1821 Returns the length of the line in cells, similar to C<ROW_l>.
1822

1824
1825 =item $rownum = $line->end
1826
1827 Return the row number of the first/last row of the line, respectively.
1828
1829 =item $offset = $line->offset_of ($row, $col)
1830
1831 Returns the character offset of the given row|col pair within the logical
1832 line. Works for rows outside the line, too, and returns corresponding
1833 offsets outside the string.
1834
1835 =item ($row, $col) = $line->coord_of ($offset)
1836
1837 Translates a string offset into terminal coordinates again.
