Unable to launch browser URL's from irrsi in urxvt.

Using irssi IRC client in urxvt I am no longer able to launch a link from the irssi app into the chromium browser. Apparently the following lines are required in .Xdefaults to do so:

urxvt*perl-lib:         /usr/lib/urxvt/perl/
urxvt*perl-ext-common:  default,matcher
urxvt*matcher.button:   1
urxvt*urlLauncher:      /usr/bin/chromium

However, those lines still do not allow me to open a URL with a mouse click in irssi. Any ideas appreciated.

Change your urlLauncher command to this:

URxvt.url-select.launcher:

Re: Unable to launch browser URL's from irrsi in urxvt.

Where are you getting that, bohoomil?

man urxvt wrote:

url-launcher: string
           Specifies the program to be started with a URL argument. Used by the "selection-popup" and "matcher" perl extensions.

In context, that becomes:

URxvt.perl-ext:	  default,matcher
URxvt.url-launcher: firefox
URxvt.matcher.button: 1

bohoomil is using urxvt-perls, which was also updated after the change to Rxvt-unicode...

Re: Unable to launch browser URL's from irrsi in urxvt.

Thanks for making this thread.  I recently noticed this (all urls from urxvt) stopped working for me, but as I hadn't yet put in any time to research why I didn't want to start a thread.  But the change in tomk's excerpt did the trick.  (urlLauncher became url-launcher).

Edit: also, for the OP, I think the URxvt class name is case sensitive.
