When selection a multi-line URI in a terminal window
I've noticed two behaviors. Some will ?ignore? the
extra lines and only select to the end of the first
line. Others will select the entire URI, typically
to an ending ">". Obviously I would prefer the latter.
Is this behavior terminal specific, i.e. gnome-terminal
vs mate-terminal vs xterm. Or is it a configuration
parameter that I've not found?
I use gnome-terminal and I've seen both behaviours. It seems to depend
on how the text has been printed in some way. If a program is just
dumping output to the screen, then usually if I mouse over it, I can see
the whole link marked. In that case, right-click, copy link will get
the whole thing. But for example, if I'm using less to view a file with
urls, the link will get cut off at the edge of the screen. I assume
that the terminal is aware that it has wrapped the line, because in
those cases, if you change the size of the terminal, it will re-wrap the
lines to the new size.
