I know that I can copy and paste text in rxvt by using the middle mouse button, but I was wondering if there was a way to define keyboard-shortcuts in the .Xdefaults for copy and pasting text.Moreover it would be really awesome if it would be possible to select the text with the keyboard as well.EDIT:Trying to use urxvt-perls does not seem to work (maybe because of the zsh-VI-bindings?). When I try running the script from the command line I also get the following errors:% perl keyboard-select Bareword urxvt::ControlMask not allowed while strict subs in use at keyboard-select line 137.Bareword urxvt::ControlMask not allowed while strict subs in use at keyboard-select line 151.Execution of keyboard-select aborted due to compilation errors.Unfortunately I know nothing about a perl and have no idea if this is anyhow related to it not working in urxvt itself.strong text

You can use urxvt-perls to enable keyboards shortcuts for copy and paste in urxvt.Place the required scripts in /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/ and add these lines to your .X{resources,defaults}:URxvt.perl-ext-common: ...,keyboard-selectURxvt.keysym.M-Escape: perl:keyboard-select:activate
