06:15 <rj1> 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?

06:15 <rj1> would be great to have that built right into the terminal emulator!

06:29 <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

06:31 <rj1> i didn't even realize alacritty had hints

06:31 <dnkl> kraftwerk28: it would probably be possible, but you'd instead "pay" the cost with code complexity. OSC-8 URLs is handled this way.

06:32 <rj1> when i used alacritty i went looking for that functionality and couldn't find it

06:32 <dnkl> it's relatively new (since a couple of releases?)

06:32 <rj1> ahh ok

06:32 <rj1> i've likely been using foot since then

06:33 <sochotnicky> dnkl is keeping an eye on the competition :-D

06:34 <dnkl> you can learn a lot by reading other projects' issue trackers... 🙂

06:35 <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

06:37 <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)

06:37 <dnkl> before I get to that, I'm personally more interested in extending the search mode

06:39 <dnkl> kraftwerk28: and also, it gets much more difficult to maintain performance when storing cell data outside the grid struct

06:55 <rj1> dnkl: that would be awesome!

06:55 <rj1> i gotta check out the search feature, never used it
