Hi,

I noticed a bug with the new MATCH_STRING_EXEC option.  When enabled it makes it impossible to select text with the mouse.  Not sure how to fix it.

 

Regards,

Aragon

It is the feature of libvte.

There is no convenient way to fix it.

Maybe you can #define MENU_MATCH_STRING_EXEC and right-click to choose "Copy" the matched string. :-)

Hey.  I believe I have the fix for this.  I've also fixed another bug I discovered.  First the other bug:

URIs with "&" in them get cut off just before the "&".  Modified the system() string to enclose the URI in single quotes and it works.  Patch attached.

For the original bug, looks like the return of menu_popup() just needs to be tweaked.  If VTE reports no matched URI on a button press, return FALSE (instead of TRUE).  You'll see this in my patch.

My patch also changes the URI click button to 2 (middle click).  This is a better idea IMHO, and it's how at least one other VTE based term does things.

Hope you like. :)
