Hi - My intent is to open a new urxvt window, and in that window, open several tabs. Each opened tab runs a command (ls, vim, etc...).
> IMHO tabs are a component of the window-manager. Since extensions can control tabs _inside_ urxvt (tabbbedex, for example, has a 'new_tab' subroutine), tab creation could be triggered by an extension as well, right? My questions are: 1.) How to create a new tab? And; 2.) How can a command be sent to the tab? So in theory, it could be something like: $new_tab = tabs->create_new_tab(...); # create a new 'tab' object $cmd = ... # the command could be anything: ls, vim, a shell script, etc. $new_tab->send_command($cmd); # send the command to the tab > Speaking about IPC, you may want to ask Marc about implementing dbus > hooks/signals inside urxvt ;) I was wondering if this could be done with the existing Perl-driven functionality of urxvt. (DBUS is magical, it is true.) Thanks for your notes, Raphaël. Hopefully my intent is clear now, too. P.S. Apologies to Raphaël for emailing twice -- forgot to 'Reply All' the first time. . . . ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D EARTH SCREENSAVER - Watch the Earth right on your desktop!
