Public bug reported:
[ubuntu/debian specific feature request]
URLs such as http://foo are underlined when hovered and ctrl+clickable to open.
It'd would be nice to recognize apt:foo or at least apt://foo, so READMEs,
outputs of commands like "apt-cache search" etc. could privide ctrl+clickable
links to packages.
[upstream feature request, which would include the above]
More generally, gnome-terminal should highlight any URL scheme supported on the
system (specifically by epiphany).
I guess the canonical place to check is gconf
/schemas/desktop/gnome/url-handlers
Not sure if bare "scheme:foo" should be supported or only "sheme://foo" which
have less false positive.
But since the behavior is unobtrusive (only highlighted when hovered), I think
both.
