[irssi] paste whenever... (solved)

Hi there.

I've problem when I'm using irssi, when I open an url with my middle click; i.e., I selected something on another window (firefox for example), and when I middle click in irssi to open the link, it paste it. It's very weird, but I don't really know if it's due to irssi or my terminal, urxvt.

Thanks in advance, I hope it's a repairable problem

That's due to urxvt if you want to open the url shown in irssi set

Urxvt.urlLauncher: <your_browser>

$HOME/.Xdefaults.
Then you can open the url using normal left click.

If you're using firefox its window will move to the desktop in which you've clicked the link to prevent this behavior open about:config and set:

browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground=true

I already have URxvt.urlLauncher: firefox in my ~/.Xdefaults.. I can't open the URLs with a left click, this tip is for middle click.

Ok, solved it.
To open the URLs with the left click, in the ~/.Xdefaults :

URxvt.perl-ext-common:       default,matcher
URxvt.matcher.button:       1
