Just to throw another idea in here...
I think one wants to be cautious about feature creep, and so if there
are other ways to do things that don't involve adding code, menu
items, ... then maybe they might be preferable. (And maybe not.)
I have a shell script called netscape (for historical reasons) which
does (essentially)
firefox -remote "openurl($1,new-window)" &
and in my .fvwm2rc file I have
Key U A 4 Exec netscape "`wxpaste`"
So after I double-click a URL, I type Alt-U and it opens a new window
with that URL. This is much easier than opening a browser window and
pasting the text into the browser.
Presumably there is some equivalent feature available in whatever
window manager you are using.
Cheers.
Jim
