# Use keyboard shortcuts to select and copy text.

# Usage: put the following lines in your .Xdefaults:
# - URxvt.perl-ext-common: keyboard-select
# - URxvt.keysym.M-Escape: perl:keyboard-select:activate

# Use Meta-Escape to activate selection mode, then use the following keys:
# - h,left:  move cursor left
# - j,down:  move cursor down
# - k,up:    move cursor up
# - l,right: move cursor right
# - v:       toggle normal selection
# - V:       toggle linewise selection
# - Ctrl-v:  toggle blockwise selection
# - y:       copy selected text to primary buffer and quit selection mode
# - Escape:  cancel whole keyboard selection mode
