A small collection of perl extensions for the rxvt-unicode terminal emulator.
Installation
------------
Simply place the scripts you want to install in the /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/ folder
for system-wide availability. You can also put them in a folder of your
choice, but then you have to add this line to your .Xdefaults:
URxvt.perl-lib: /your/folder/
See the following sections for information on how to enable the scripts or set
script-specific options and keyboard mappings in your .Xdefaults.
keyboard-select
---------------
Use keyboard shortcuts to select and copy text.
After installing, put the folling 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
url-select
----------
Use keyboard shortcuts to select URLs.
This should be used as a replacement for the default matcher extension, it also
makes URLs clickable with the middle mouse button.
After installing, put the folling lines in your .Xdefaults:
URxvt.perl-ext-common: ...,url-select
URxvt.keysym.M-u: perl:url-select:select_next
Use Meta-u to activate URL selection mode, then use the following keys:
k: select next upward URL (also with Meta-u)
j: select next downward URL
Return: open selected URL in browser and quit selection mode
y: copy (yank) selected URL and quit selection mode
Escape: cancel URL selection mode
Options:
URxvt.urlLauncher: browser/command to open selected URL with
URxvt.underlineURLs: if set to true, all URLs get underlined
clipboard
---------
Use keyboard shortcuts to copy the selection to the clipboard and to paste the
clipboard contents (optionally escaping all special characters).
Requires xsel to be installed!
After installing, put the folling lines in your .Xdefaults:
URxvt.perl-ext-common: clipboard
URxvt.keysym.M-c: perl:clipboard:copy
URxvt.keysym.M-v: perl:clipboard:paste
URxvt.keysym.M-C-v: perl:clipboard:paste_escaped
The use of the functions should be self-explanatory!
