double-click URL in some text in xterm move to mozilla middle-click in the page-rendering area (not the location bar) > At least in Opera I can right click and select "Clear" to keep from moving > my hand too and from the keyboard. With this, your clicking target is huge (almos the entire size of a virtual desktop in my case) so it's very fast and easy. No aiming at the location bar, no aiming at context menus. Optionally add in a "ctrl-t" between moving to mozilla and middle- clicking and you'll then get a new tab in which to paste the url, in case you want it. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- #include<stdio.h> int main() { puts("Reader!
