Alacritty open links with modifier
Alacritty by default makes all links in the terminal output clickable and this gets annoying rather quickly. I liked the default behavior of Gnome terminal where you needed to hold Control key and then you could click and open links.
To achieve this in Alacritty you need to provide a hint
in the configuration
file. Config file is located at ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
.
hints:
enabled:
- regex: "(mailto:|gemini:|gopher:|https:|http:|news:|file:|git:|ssh:|ftp:)\
[^\u0000-\u001F\u007F-\u009F<>\"\\s{-}\\^⟨⟩`]+"
command: xdg-open
post_processing: true
mouse:
enabled: true
mods: Control
The following should work under any Linux system. For macOS, you will need to
change command: xdg-open
to something else.
Now the links will be visible and clickable only when Control key is being pressed.
