As mrxvt tips page<\/a> says, there is a way to search the scrollback buffer. The uses of this are infinite…<\/p>\n

The code on the page though was a bit problematic (at least for me), so I slightly modified it to work:
\n
\nMrxvt.macro.Primary+Ctrl+Shift+question: PrintScreen -ps perl -e '$_=join(\"\",<STDIN>); s\/\\n+$\/\\n\/g; print' > \/tmp\/scrollback
\nMrxvt.macro.Primary+Add+Ctrl+Shift+question: NewTab \"(Search)\" !less -ifLR +G \/tmp\/scrollback; rm -f \/tmp\/scrollback
\nMrxvt.macro.Primary+Ctrl+slash: PrintScreen -s perl -e '$_=join(\"\",<STDIN>); s\/\\n+$\/\\n\/g; print' > \/tmp\/scrollback
\nMrxvt.macro.Primary+Add+Ctrl+slash: NewTab \"(Search)\" !view +\"syn off|set nospell notitle |normal G\" \/tmp\/scrollback; rm -f \/tmp\/scrollback
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

What I’ve changed is that I replaced the old “\/bin\/sh -c” with a simple “!”. The manpage of mrxvt has more info about “!” (line 434). I’ve also added a “-f” flag to the rm command at the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
