Keyboard-driven URL opening

[jvoisin]

foot has a pretty nice feature to deal with url:

Foot supports URL detection. But, unlike many other terminal emulators, where URLs are highlighted when they are hovered and opened by clicking on them, foot uses a keyboard driven approach.

Pressing ctrl+shift+o enters "URL mode", where all currently visible URLs are underlined, and is associated with a "jump-label". The jump-label indicates the key sequence (e.g. "AF") to use to activate the URL.

It looks like this:

It would be neat to have it in ghostty as well I think.

I have same question, I use wezterm:

	{
		key = "u",
		mods = ...,
		action = wezterm.action.QuickSelectArgs({
			label = "open url",
			patterns = {
				"\\((https?://\\S+)\\)",
				"\\[(https?://\\S+)\\]",
				"\\{(https?://\\S+)\\}",
				"<(https?://\\S+)>",
				"\\bhttps?://\\S+[)/a-zA-Z0-9-]+",
				"\\b\\w+://(?:[\\w.-]+)\\.[a-z]{2,15}\\S*[^\\s.,;:]",
				"\\b\\w+@[\\w-]+\\.[\\w.-]+\\b",
			},
			action = wezterm.action_callback(function(window, pane)
				local url = window:get_selection_text_for_pane(pane)
				wezterm.open_with(url)
			end),
		}),
	},

Docs from some other terminals, in case that's helpful as a reference:

• Alacritty: Hints; default is open
• Kitty: Also Hints; default is open
• Foot: URL mode; default is open
• WezTerm: Quick Select Mode; default is copy
• Konsole: URL Hints (unfortunately that mailing list post is the closest I can find to official documentation, besides this reddit post with a screenshot)

This obviously isn't an exhaustive list, since there are Too Many Terminals 😛

This seems to be a duplicate of the earlier #2394

Oh, it is indeed, my bad!
