urxvt-eval(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

eval — evaluate arbitrary perl code using actions. This is the urxvt-eval manual page, bestie, and it’s giving tiny-page-big-power energy ✨

💅 EXAMPLES 💅

okay so here are the examples, copy-paste ready and everything:

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

URxvt.keysym.M-Up: eval:scroll_up 1
URxvt.keysym.M-Down: eval:scroll_down 1
URxvt.keysym.M-Home: eval:scroll_to_top
URxvt.keysym.M-End:  eval:scroll_to_bottom

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this adds 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. No cap: the full urxvt API is available, but the following methods are also provided for users’ convenience, because they implement basic actions:

• scroll_up $count — scroll up or down by $count lines or pages.
• scroll_up_pages $count — scroll up or down by $count lines or pages.
• scroll_down $count — scroll up or down by $count lines or pages.
• scroll_down_pages $count — scroll up or down by $count lines or pages.
• scroll_to_top — scroll to the top of the scrollback.
• scroll_to_bottom — scroll to the bottom of the scrollback.
• selection_to_clipboard — copy the selection to the CLIPBOARD.
• paste_primary — paste the value of the PRIMARY selection.
• paste_clipboard — paste the value of the CLIPBOARD selection.
