Terminal links clickable [term of xfce]

[cyrille]

Hello
I use bash as terminal of my users. On my Linux when I click on a link from a bash message, it opens in the default internet browser.
How to do the same in the freesbd configuration to make the terminal links clickable?
Thanks in advance

That's probably a feature of the X terminal emulator, not the shell...

 

[cyrille]

Yes it's the term of xfce, I modified the title, sorry...

Exactly.
I use the terminal emulator x11/lilyterm, where you can turn that feature on and off.
There maybe other terminal emulators that support it.

(bash by the way is not a terminal, it's a shell that runs on top of a terminal emulator)

OK thanx , it's not a problem with bash so. I'll look in the configuration of the terminal emulator.

lilyterm works very well, thank a lot

Go to Preferences dialog, or changes value of MiscMiddleClickOpensUri (from FALSE to TRUE) in .config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc.

You can also do this with urxvt (rxvt-unicode and the urxvt-perls package. You can hit alt+u, then enter, and a link will be highlighted. It will then, if you hit enter again, open the link in a browser.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rxvt-unicode describes it under the clickable url section, and how to do it without a mouse, which is what I prefer.
