Regarding urlCommand "sensible-browser '%s'" well, did you know it produces sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file you'll see it in the window where you started xpdf. It is caused by doing things like $ sh -c "'mmmm" sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `'' sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file You see, there is a bug in xpdf, wherein there is just no way to get that final ' into xpdf's brain. One can backslash it all one wants, but it won't work. A workaround is to use just urlCommand "sensible-browser %s" in one's ~/.xpdfrc while one awaits a fix. However, xpdf then blocks until sensible-browser finishes anyway. Who could stand that? I tried adding &, nohup, etc. but just got into deeper trouble. Ah, the key is to have sensible-browser already running before one starts clicking on URLs in xpdf... that is if sensible-browser is Firefox at least. You might want to add that in a comment. Oh and by the way, further experiments, with urlCommand "echo === %s ==== | wc; echo %s|od" === http://www.gsdi.org/newslist/gsdisubscribe.asp show that everything east of %s is thrown in the trash can. No wonder. By the way, you need to add right-mouse: copy url, like Firefox. We don't only want to browse URLs, we might want to also copy them to the clipboard. By the way, still can't "cut and paste" text from xpdf to the clipboard... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
