hyperlinks in gnome terminal?

trc · 2010-02-22 22:51:00

Edit: I figured out the AIM chat issue in irssi + bitlbee, now I am just wondering if any of you guys would know how to make it so I could have clickable urls in irssi using the gnome terminal?

## These 3 lines make links clickable
##
URxvt.urlLauncher: chromium
#www.google.ca
URxvt.matcher.button: 1
URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,matcher,readline,clipboard

Place something like this in your ~/.Xdefaults, but adjust it to firefox instead of chromium if thats your browser of choice. I put www.google.ca there as a comment as it should become clickable in your terminal is everything works.
Also for your aim issue check at the bottom of irssi and look for numbers like 1,2,3,4...etc. Those numbers are your irssi tabs, hit ALT+1 to switch to tab 1, ALT+2 to switch to tab 2, ALT+3 for tab 3...etc. I dunno if thats the problem that your having, but it might just be something simple your missing.

EDIT: you didnt acctually specify the terminal your using, the above only works for urxvt sorry, it may be of no help to you.

I'm using gnome-terminal, and I know how to switch tabs and such, I am just unable to join AIM chat rooms, thats why I was wondering if maybe the feature isn't supported...

and yeah I don't even have an Xdefaults document, so you are probably using a different terminal than me.

You may have to edit your configurations. To do so you can either use gconftool-2 in the terminal or install gconf-editor to have a GUI.
In the terminal you can check what is configured to open links with:

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command

If the path is wrong or you use another browser then you can set it with

gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/command '/usr/bin/firefox "%s"' --type string

for firefox for example.

With gconf-editor you have to go through the same path "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/http/" and edit the "command"-key.
