urxvt-selection-autotransform(1) RXVT-UNICODE urxvt-selection-autotransform(1) NAME selection-autotransform - automatically transform select text DESCRIPTION This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection when- ever a selection is made. It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single "s///" opera- tor) that modify $_ as resources: URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform ... For example, the following will transform selections of the form "file- name:number", often seen in compiler messages, into vi +$filename $word: URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/ And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can paste directly into your (vi :) editor: URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/ Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :) To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at FILE- NAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution: URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.]) URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/ The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms the message into vi commands to load the file. 9.31 2026-08-04 urxvt-selection-autotransform(1)
