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

710
711 =item on_map_notify $term, $event
712
713 =item on_unmap_notify $term, $event
714
715 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the terminal. If
716 the hook returns true, then the event will be ignored by rxvt-unicode.
717
718 The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the XEvent
719 manpage), with the additional members C<row> and C<col>, which are the
720 (real, not screen-based) row and column under the mouse cursor.
721
722 C<on_key_press> additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would
723 output, if any, in locale-specific encoding.

732
733 Called when various types of ClientMessage events are received (all with
734 format=32, WM_PROTOCOLS or WM_PROTOCOLS:WM_DELETE_WINDOW).
735
736 =item on_bell $term

772
773 The rxvt-unicode library directory, where, among other things, the perl
774 modules and scripts are stored.
775
776 =item $urxvt::RESCLASS, $urxvt::RESCLASS
777
778 The resource class and name rxvt-unicode uses to look up X resources.
779
780 =item $urxvt::RXVTNAME
781
782 The basename of the installed binaries, usually C<urxvt>.
783
784 =item $urxvt::TERM
785
786 The current terminal. This variable stores the current C<urxvt::term>
787 object, whenever a callback/hook is executing.
788
789 =item @urxvt::TERM_INIT
790
791 All code references in this array will be called as methods of the next newly
792 created C<urxvt::term> object (during the C<on_init> phase). The array
793 gets cleared before the code references that were in it are being executed,
794 so references can push themselves onto it again if they so desire.
795
796 This complements to the perl-eval command line option, but gets executed
797 first.
798
799 =item @urxvt::TERM_EXT
800
801 Works similar to C<@TERM_INIT>, but contains perl package/class names, which
802 get registered as normal extensions after calling the hooks in C<@TERM_INIT>
803 but before other extensions. Gets cleared just like C<@TERM_INIT>.

810
811 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
812
813 Fatally aborts execution with the given error message (which should
814 include a trailing newline). Avoid at all costs! The only time this
815 is acceptable (and useful) is in the init hook, where it prevents the
816 terminal from starting up.
817
818 =item urxvt::warn $string
819
820 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should include a trailing
821 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
822 that calls this function.
823
824 Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
825 correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
826
827 Messages have a size limit of 1023 bytes currently.
828
829 =item @terms = urxvt::termlist
830
831 Returns all urxvt::term objects that exist in this process, regardless of
832 whether they are started, being destroyed etc., so be careful. Only term
833 objects that have perl extensions attached will be returned (because there
834 is no urxvt::term object associated with others).
835

867
868 Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
869 similar information for each screen cell.
870
871 The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
872 never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
873 as they contain important information required for correct operation of
874 rxvt-unicode.
875
876 =over 4
877
878 =item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
879
880 Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
881 being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
882
883 =item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
884
885 Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
886
887 =item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, urxvt::RS_Italic, urxvt::RS_Blink,
888 urxvt::RS_RVid, urxvt::RS_Uline
889
890 Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
891 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
892 the bitset.
893
894 =item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend

909 =item $value = urxvt::GET_CUSTOM $rend
910
911 Return the "custom" value: Every rendition has 5 bits for use by

1261 =item $term = new urxvt::term $envhashref, $rxvtname, [arg...]
1262
1263 Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with system
1264 C<$rxvtname, arg...>. C<$envhashref> must be a reference to a C<%ENV>-like
1265 hash which defines the environment of the new terminal.
1266
1267 Croaks (and probably outputs an error message) if the new instance
1268 couldn't be created. Returns C<undef> if the new instance didn't
1269 initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The C<init> and
1270 C<start> hooks will be called before this call returns, and are free to
1271 refer to global data (which is race free).

1285
1286 Destroy the terminal object (close the window, free resources
1287 etc.). Please note that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not exit as long as any event
1288 watchers (timers, io watchers) are still active.
1289
1290 =item $term->exec_async ($cmd[, @args])
1291
1292 Works like the combination of the C<fork>/C<exec> builtins, which executes
1293 ("starts") programs in the background. This function takes care of setting
1294 the user environment before exec'ing the command (e.g. C<PATH>) and should
1295 be preferred over explicit calls to C<exec> or C<system>.
1296
1297 Returns the pid of the subprocess or C<undef> on error.

1319 C<%urxvt::OPTION>. Options not enabled in this binary are not in the hash.

1332 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
1333
1334 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
1335 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
1336 hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
1337
1338 The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
1339 before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
1340 to be converted from the used encoding to text.
1341
1342 Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified
1343 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
1344 likely change).
1345
1346 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
1347 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.

1374 }
1375
1376 =item $value = $term->x_resource ($pattern)
1377
1378 Returns the X-Resource for the given pattern, excluding the program or
1379 class name, i.e. C<< $term->x_resource ("boldFont") >> should return the
1380 same value as used by this instance of rxvt-unicode. Returns C<undef> if no
1381 resource with that pattern exists.
1382
1383 This method should only be called during the C<on_start> hook, as there is
1384 only one resource database per display, and later invocations might return
1385 the wrong resources.
1386
1387 =item $success = $term->parse_keysym ($keysym_spec, $command_string)
1388
1389 Adds a keymap translation exactly as specified via a resource. See the
1390 C<keysym> resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage.
1391
1392 =item $rend = $term->rstyle ([$new_rstyle])
1393
1394 Return and optionally change the current rendition. Text that is output by
1395 the terminal application will use this style.
1396
1397 =item ($row, $col) = $term->screen_cur ([$row, $col])
1398
1399 Return the current coordinates of the text cursor position and optionally
1400 set it (which is usually bad as applications don't expect that).
1401
1402 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_mark ([$row, $col])
1403
1404 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_beg ([$row, $col])
1405
1406 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_end ([$row, $col])
1407
1408 Return the current values of the selection mark, begin or end positions.
1409
1410 When arguments are given, then the selection coordinates are set to
1411 C<$row> and C<$col>, and the selection screen is set to the current
1412 screen.
1413
1414 =item $screen = $term->selection_screen ([$screen])
1415
1416 Returns the current selection screen, and then optionally sets it.
1417
1418 =item $term->selection_make ($eventtime[, $rectangular])
1419
1420 Tries to make a selection as set by C<selection_beg> and
1421 C<selection_end>. If C<$rectangular> is true (default: false), a
1422 rectangular selection will be made. This is the preferred function to make
1423 a selection.
1424
1425 =item $success = $term->selection_grab ($eventtime[, $clipboard])
1426
1427 Try to acquire ownership of the primary (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is
1428 true) selection from the server. The corresponding text can be set
1429 with the next method. No visual feedback will be given. This function
1430 is mostly useful from within C<on_sel_grab> hooks.
1431
1432 =item $oldtext = $term->selection ([$newtext, $clipboard])
1433
1434 Return the current selection (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is true) text
1435 and optionally replace it by C<$newtext>.
1436
1437 =item $term->selection_clear ([$clipboard])
1438
1439 Revoke ownership of the primary (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is true) selection.
1440
1441 =item $term->overlay_simple ($x, $y, $text)

1456
1457 $overlay
1458 }
1459
1460 =item $term->overlay ($x, $y, $width, $height[, $rstyle[, $border]])
1461
1462 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
1463 width/height. C<$rstyle> defines the initial rendition style
1464 (default: C<OVERLAY_RSTYLE>).
1465
1466 If C<$border> is C<2> (default), then a decorative border will be put
1467 around the box.
1468
1469 If either C<$x> or C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the
1470 right/bottom side, respectively.
1471
1472 This method returns an urxvt::overlay object. The overlay will be visible
1473 as long as the perl object is referenced.
1474
1475 The methods currently supported on C<urxvt::overlay> objects are:
1476
1477 =over 4
1478
1479 =item $overlay->set ($x, $y, $text[, $rend])
1480
1481 Similar to C<< $term->ROW_t >> and C<< $term->ROW_r >> in that it puts
1482 text in rxvt-unicode's special encoding and an array of rendition values
1483 at a specific position inside the overlay.
1484
1485 If C<$rend> is missing, then the rendition will not be changed.
1486
1487 =item $overlay->hide
1488
1489 If visible, hide the overlay, but do not destroy it.
1490
1491 =item $overlay->show
1492
1493 If hidden, display the overlay again.
1494
1495 =back
1496
1497 =item $popup = $term->popup ($event)
1498
1499 Creates a new C<urxvt::popup> object that implements a popup menu. The
1500 C<$event> I<must> be the event causing the menu to pop up (a button event,
1501 currently).
1502
1503 =cut
1504
1505 sub popup {
1506 my ($self, $event) = @_;

1519 Scalar::Util::weaken $self->{_destroy}{$popup};
1520
1521 $popup
1522 }
1523
1524 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth ($string)
1525
1526 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
1527 accounts for wide and combining characters.
1528
1529 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode ($string)
1530
1531 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
1532
1533 =item $string = $term->locale_decode ($octets)
1534
1535 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
1536
1537 =item $term->scr_xor_span ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle])
1538
1539 XORs the rendition values in the given span with the provided value
1540 (default: C<RS_RVid>), which I<MUST NOT> contain font styles. Useful in
1541 refresh hooks to provide effects similar to the selection.
1542
1543 =item $term->scr_xor_rect ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle1[, $rstyle2]])
1544
1545 Similar to C<scr_xor_span>, but xors a rectangle instead. Trailing
1546 whitespace will additionally be xored with the C<$rstyle2>, which defaults
1547 to C<RS_RVid | RS_Uline>, which removes reverse video again and underlines
1548 it instead. Both styles I<MUST NOT> contain font styles.
1549
1550 =item $term->scr_bell
1551
1552 Ring the bell!
1553
1554 =item $term->scr_add_lines ($string)
1555
1556 Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the application
1557 running inside the terminal. It may not contain command sequences (escape
1558 codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage returns and tabs. The
1559 string is a normal text string, not in locale-dependent encoding.
1560
1561 Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might be
1562 confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful inside a
1563 C<on_add_lines> hook, though.
1564
1565 =item $term->scr_change_screen ($screen)
1566
1567 Switch to given screen - 0 primary, 1 secondary.
1568
1569 =item $term->cmd_parse ($octets)
1570
1571 Similar to C<scr_add_lines>, but the argument must be in the
1572 locale-specific encoding of the terminal and can contain command sequences
1573 (escape codes) that will be interpreted.
1574
1575 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
1576
1577 Write the octets given in C<$octets> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
1578 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
1579 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
1580
1581 =item $term->tt_paste ($octets)
1582
1583 Write the octets given in C<$octets> to the tty as a paste, converting NL to
1584 CR and bracketing the data with control sequences if bracketed paste mode
1585 is set.
1586
1587 =item $old_events = $term->pty_ev_events ([$new_events])
1588
1589 Replaces the event mask of the pty watcher by the given event mask. Can
1590 be used to suppress input and output handling to the pty/tty. See the
1591 description of C<< urxvt::timer->events >>. Make sure to always restore
1592 the previous value.
1593
1594 =item $fd = $term->pty_fd
1595
1596 Returns the master file descriptor for the pty in use, or C<-1> if no pty
1597 is used.
1598
1599 =item $windowid = $term->parent
1600
1601 Return the window id of the toplevel window.
1602
1603 =item $windowid = $term->vt
1604
1605 Return the window id of the terminal window.
1606
1607 =item $term->vt_emask_add ($x_event_mask)
1608
1609 Adds the specified events to the vt event mask. Useful e.g. when you want
1610 to receive pointer events all the times:
1611
1612 $term->vt_emask_add (urxvt::PointerMotionMask);
1613
1614 =item $term->focus_in
1615
1616 =item $term->focus_out
1617
1618 =item $term->key_press ($state, $keycode[, $time])

1647
1648 Return various integers describing terminal characteristics.
1649
1650 =item $x_display = $term->display_id
1651
1652 Return the DISPLAY used by rxvt-unicode.
1653
1654 =item $lc_ctype = $term->locale
1655
1656 Returns the LC_CTYPE category string used by this rxvt-unicode.
1657
1658 =item $env = $term->env
1659
1660 Returns a copy of the environment in effect for the terminal as a hashref
1661 similar to C<\%ENV>.
1662
1663 =item @envv = $term->envv
1664
1665 Returns the environment as array of strings of the form C<VAR=VALUE>.
1666
1667 =item @argv = $term->argv
1668
1669 Return the argument vector as this terminal, similar to @ARGV, but
1670 includes the program name as first element.

1680 =item $modifiermask = $term->ModMetaMask
1681
1682 =item $modifiermask = $term->ModNumLockMask
1683
1684 Return the modifier masks corresponding to the "ISO Level 3 Shift" (often
1685 AltGr), the meta key (often Alt) and the num lock key, if applicable.
1686
1687 =item $screen = $term->current_screen
1688
1689 Returns the currently displayed screen (0 primary, 1 secondary).
1690
1691 =item $cursor_is_hidden = $term->hidden_cursor
1692
1693 Returns whether the cursor is currently hidden or not.
1694
1695 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
1696
1697 Returns the row number of the topmost displayed line. Maximum value is
1698 C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Lower values scroll
1699 this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
1700
1701 =item $term->want_refresh
1702
1703 Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
1704 compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
1705 differ, it redraws the differences.
1706
1707 Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
1708
1709 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
1710
1711 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<< $term->top_row >>
1712 is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->nrow-1 >> is the bottommost
1713 terminal line. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
1714 is requested.
1715
1716 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
1717 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
1718 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
1719 automatically be updated.
1720
1721 C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
1722 than one cell when displayed are padded with C<$urxvt::NOCHAR> (chr 65535)
1723 characters. Characters with combining characters and other characters that
1724 do not fit into the normal text encoding will be replaced with characters
1725 in the private use area.
1726
1727 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
1728 that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
1729 characters.
1730
1731 The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
1732 can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
1733
1734 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
1735
1736 Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
1737 bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
1738 styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
1739
1740 When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
1741
1742 See the section on RENDITION, above.
1743
1744 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
1745
1746 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line
1747 length"). Unlike the urxvt core, this returns C<< $term->ncol >> if the
1748 line is joined with the following one.
1749
1750 =item $bool = $term->is_longer ($row_number)
1751
1752 Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical "line" (i.e.
1753 joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
1754 and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
1755 previous row(s)).
1756
1757 =item $line = $term->line ($row_number)
1758
1759 Create and return a new C<urxvt::line> object that stores information
1760 about the logical line that row C<$row_number> is part of. It supports the
1761 following methods:
1762
1763 =over 4
1764
1765 =item $text = $line->t ([$new_text])
1766
1767 Returns or replaces the full text of the line, similar to C<ROW_t>
1768
1769 =item $rend = $line->r ([$new_rend])
1770
1771 Returns or replaces the full rendition array of the line, similar to C<ROW_r>
1772
1773 =item $length = $line->l
1774
1775 Returns the length of the line in cells, similar to C<ROW_l>.
1776
1777 =item $rownum = $line->beg
1778
1779 =item $rownum = $line->end
1780
1781 Return the row number of the first/last row of the line, respectively.
1782
1783 =item $offset = $line->offset_of ($row, $col)
1784
1785 Returns the character offset of the given row|col pair within the logical
1786 line. Works for rows outside the line, too, and returns corresponding
1787 offsets outside the string.
1788
1789 =item ($row, $col) = $line->coord_of ($offset)
1790
1791 Translates a string offset into terminal coordinates again.
