NAME

       matcher - match strings in terminal output and change their rendition

DESCRIPTION

       Uses per-line display filtering ("on_line_update") to underline text matching a certain
       pattern and make it clickable. When clicked with the mouse button specified in the
       "matcher.button" resource (default 2, or middle), the program specified in the
       "matcher.launcher" resource (default, the "urlLauncher" resource, "sensible-browser") will
       be started with the matched text as first argument.  The default configuration is suitable
       for matching URLs and launching a web browser, like the former "mark-urls" extension.

       The default pattern to match URLs can be overridden with the "matcher.pattern.0" resource,
       and additional patterns can be specified with numbered patterns, in a manner similar to
       the "selection" extension.  The launcher can also be overridden on a per-pattern basis.

       It is possible to activate the most recently seen match or a list of matches from the
       keyboard.  Simply bind a keysym to "perl:matcher:last" or "perl:matcher:list" as seen in
       the example below.

       Example configuration:

           URxvt.perl-ext:           default,matcher
           URxvt.url-launcher:       sensible-browser
           URxvt.keysym.C-Delete:    perl:matcher:last
           URxvt.keysym.M-Delete:    perl:matcher:list
           URxvt.matcher.button:     1
           URxvt.matcher.pattern.1:  \\bwww\\.[\\w-]+\\.[\\w./?&@#-]*[\\w/-]
           URxvt.matcher.pattern.2:  \\B(/\\S+?):(\\d+)(?=:|$)
           URxvt.matcher.launcher.2: gvim +$2 $1
