I want to launch the GUI browser on the client side.
but URI-passing would tell you which URL or link is selected. so far, so good. now you'd need something to make a local browser use that URL. given a remote-side binding of: set document.uri_passing.clip = "echo -n %c | xclip -i" did you try switching to a local terminal and just do "xclip -o" to check? i think this should allow using the contents of the X11 clipboard wherever you need it. how about an alias alias gui='firefox `xclip -o`'? this has to be on the local side, of course. do you use the ssh(1) X11-forwarding? you don't need to use xclip(1), of course. anything that lets you beam data back to your local computer is alright. > # link launchs in GUI browser on faux and not on betrug.
