eval - evaluate arbitrary perl code using actions

EXAMPLES¶

  URxvt.keysym.M-c: eval:selection_to_clipboard
  URxvt.keysym.M-v: eval:paste_clipboard
  URxvt.keysym.M-V: eval:paste_primary

DESCRIPTION¶

Add support for evaluating arbitrary perl code using actions in keysym resources. If a keysym action takes the form "eval:STRING", the specified STRING is evaluated as a Perl expression. While the full urxvt API is available, the following methods are also provided for users' convenience, as they implement basic actions:

scroll_up $count

scroll_up_pages $count

scroll_down $count

scroll_down_pages $count

Scroll up or down by $count lines or pages.

scroll_to_top

scroll_to_bottom

Scroll to the top or bottom of the scrollback.

selection_to_clipboard

Copy the selection to the CLIPBOARD.

paste_primary

paste_clipboard

Paste the value of the PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD selection.
