is there any chance of expanding the url open/copy functionality? i use a tmux plugin called tmux-fingers and it implements a similar functionality, but beyond URLs it can also copy ip addresses, file paths, git commit IDs, UUIDs, and a few other things. could there be any plans to build something like that into foot?
<rj1>
would be great to have that built right into the terminal emulator!
<dnkl>
rj1: sounds similar to alacritty's hints? the thought has crossed my mind... no plans yet, but can't really say I've made up my mind either
<rj1>
i didn't even realize alacritty had hints
<dnkl>
kraftwerk28: it would probably be possible, but you'd instead "pay" the cost with code complexity. OSC-8 URLs is handled this way.
<rj1>
when i used alacritty i went looking for that functionality and couldn't find it
<dnkl>
it's relatively new (since a couple of releases?)
<rj1>
ahh ok
<rj1>
i've likely been using foot since then
<sochotnicky>
dnkl is keeping an eye on the competition :-D
<dnkl>
you can learn a lot by reading other projects' issue trackers... 🙂
<rj1>
one of my big reasons for switching to wayland was to use foot so i'm not going back to alacritty! not even for that feature
<dnkl>
as for hints... I think it's not that difficult. just need to generalize the text matchning and launching logic. it's a pretty big refactoring needed for that however (= lots of work)
<dnkl>
before I get to that, I'm personally more interested in extending the search mode
<dnkl>
kraftwerk28: and also, it gets much more difficult to maintain performance when storing cell data outside the grid struct
<rj1>
dnkl: that would be awesome!
<rj1>
i gotta check out the search feature, never used it
