Extensions

Tabbed:

urxvt is customized with perl extensions in /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/.Tabs are one of the perl extensions found in there. Unfortunately, by default you cannot customize the hotkeys for controlling tabs in URxvt. However, you can do so by modifying tabbed.

The relevant section seems to be: tab_key_press

Enable

# ~/.Xdefaults
URxvt.perl-ext-common: tabbed, <other extensions>

logout and log back in for change to take effect.

NOTE:

Tabs are irrelevant, now that I'm using tmux

urxvt-color-switch

Allows you to change colourschemes on the fly in urxvt.

cd /usr/lib/urxvt/perl
git clone https://github.com/felixr/urxvt-theme-switch

### Themes kept in:
~/.themes/urxvt/

### Add to your .Xdefaults:
URxvt.perl-ext-common: color-themes, <other themes>

## If looking for a good base to start from, see the ArchWiki page for urxvt, they have a sample
colorscheme with the names of the colors commented out.
