Is there a way to change the selection.screen from the primary to secondary
screen using the perl api commands or an X event? I'm working on a perl plugin
to allow me to select text within a terminal window with a keyboard. I don't
like using a mouse. I have a simple proof of concept working, at least within
the primary screen, but if I open an application, vim or screen, for example,
the selection commands (selection_beg, selection_end, etc) act on the primary
screen. The only way I've been been able to change the selection.screen to a
secondary screen is with a mouseclick. Once clicked the selection commands work
as expected.
This is the code for the proof of concept plugin. Very basic. It allows one
line to be selected. By executing the scroll_up and scroll_down commands you
can move the selected line up or down.
sub on_user_command {
my ($self, $cmd) = @_;
my ($row_beg, $col_beg) = $self->selection_beg ();
my ($row_end, $col_end) = $self->selection_end ();
if ($cmd eq "select_by_key:scroll_down") {
$self->selection_beg( $row_beg+1, 0);
$self->selection_end( $row_beg+2, 0);
$self->selection_make(urxvt::CurrentTime);
}
if ($cmd eq "select_by_key:scroll_up") {
$self->selection_beg( $row_beg-1, 0);
$self->selection_end( $row_beg, 0);
$self->selection_make(urxvt::CurrentTime);
}
()
}
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Jim Karsten
