Bug ID: 521116
Summary: Links don't work in alternate screen mode
Classification: Applications
Product: konsole
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
Links don't work in alternate screen mode.
We want to be able to link to artist homepages in the terminal music player kew
(https://github.com/ravachol/kew) when you click on an artist name. It would be
a great way to support artists directly and sales of music as close to the
source (artist) as possible.
kew uses alternate screen mode.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click the terminal window, Choose 'Edit Current Profile'.
2. Choose 'Mouse'.
3. Choose 'Miscellaneous'.
4. Check 'Allow escape sequences for links'.
5. Go back to the terminal window. Enable alternate screen mode:
printf '\033[?1049h'
6. Print a link
printf '\e]8;;http://pinkfloyd.com\e\\Pink Floyd\e]8;;\e\\\n'
OBSERVED RESULT
Link appears but isn't clickable.
EXPECTED RESULT
Clickable link.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Konsole Version 26.04.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
While we are at it, I'd also link to say that requiring users to check 'Allow
escape sequences for links' deep inside the menus, makes the links feature
almost unusable and is an extra burden for users. Web browsers seem to do just
find with allowing links out of the box, with link urls appearing when you
mouse over as a precaution, just as konsole also already does.
