It looks like it finally does (kinda). From http://lukas.zapletalovi.com/2013/07/hidden-gems-of-xterm.html: UXTerm*VT100*translations: #override Shift <Btn1Up>: exec-formatted("firefox --new-tab '%t'", PRIMARY). Select a link with a mouse and press Shift+click to open a link in Firefox. I tested this on a newest xterm compiled from ftp://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.tar.gz and it works. My way of opening links is to use GNU screen without using a mouse: bind f eval writebuf 'exec /bin/bash -c "firefox $(cat /tmp/screen-exchange)"' However, both solutions require to mark the entire link (unlike aforementioned Gnome terminal) before opening them so they are not that comfortable if the link is very long. -- Arkadiusz Drabczyk <arkadi...@drabczyk.org>
