I just uploaded a bunch of patches to the rxvt RFE section... I had hacked with John Bovey's xvt for years and finally got around to releasing my version on the unsuspecting public (and even got a sf page up on it) before I checked into the dev versions of rxvt.
Great work, guys! (Much cleaner, more portable source than xvt with the amazing bonus: the W11 library!) So, heck with my version of xvt -- I'm abandoning it and I'd like to submit these patches to rxvt. So, there are 4 patches over on sf that are diff'd against the latest cvs version: #1: Enhancement: mouse wheel can scroll by a whole page instead of 5 lines. #2: Bug Fix: fix bug where control characters weren't being processed inside escape sequences and VT52 commands weren't handled #3: Enhancement: selection scrolling, where holding the mouse button down during a selection and moving the pointer out of the window will cause the window to scroll and the selection to be updated #4: Enhancement: launch a viewing program when filenames are clicked in a directory listing that appears on screen. The setup for this is that your shell has to print out a new escape sequence every time you change directories, and rxvt keeps track of what directory goes with what line on the screen (or in the scrollback buffer). An external script is launched with the path and file as arguments, and the script can then determine the file type and exec an appropriate viewing program. A side effect of this enhancement is that it also allows a shift+left click to extend selections. There's some docs for each over on the patch site, including a sample script for the launcher thingy. No yodl docs yet, though... Rob __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
