Bug ID: 496817
Summary: Open Links plugin should stop at closing parenthesis
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 24.08.3
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: groszdaniel...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Minor suggestion: The Open Links plugin considers many whitespace and
punctuation characters to terminate a link, but not a closing parenthesis, so
if a link is parenthesised, or it's in a markdown document, where the URL of a
link is in parentheses, the closing parenthesis is included in the URL. While a
")" can technically be part of the path in a URL, it's much more likely to be
not intended to be part of the URL, so the URL recognition should stop before
it.
I'm not sure there's other punctuation that should be added to the list of
characters that terminate a URL. Perhaps stop before a ".", ":" or "?" if they
are followed by whitespace (or the end of the document); conversely, only stop
before a ";" if followed by whitespace (currently that delimits a URL, but
while uncommon, it can be used as a separator within URLs equivalent to "&").
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter this: (https://example.com/)
OBSERVED RESULT
The closing ")" is underlined, and https://example.com/) is opened in the
browser.
(Moreover, if the URL is entered without the trailing "/", it's opened as
http://https//example.com) , at least in Firefox.)
EXPECTED RESULT
Only https://example.com/ is underlined and opened.
