How many of you use the terminal (= CLI) in a strict sense in relation to open a link without using the right mouse button to open the link from the contextual menu. Or to select and export a line not using click and drag and then control+shhift+c key ...?

>>OP I have been using xfce4-terminal lately, and before, xterm. I appreciate the convenience of still having the mouse in case I need to copy anything by selecting some text, or, since xfce4-terminal highlights links automatically, ctrl+click to open them in librewolf. I'm also a 'screen' user, and although it comes with the 'copy mode' thingy, I have never really used it much. I just checked, and I even have gpm installed, so I can use that the times I decide to go to tty1 for a while :) I'm however trying to get to know and use vim a bit more deeply, and take advantage of buffers and windows so I can yank and paste things more efficiently when editing text. Having two editor instances, having to :set nonumber, then select, go to the other instance and paste... gets cumbersome quickly

>>OP No, I am not using the terminal in the strict sense, but should like to learn this. What I typically need is a way to copy pieces of text shown on the screen. Some vi-like navigation would do, but without actually making a "text-shot" and starting vi by hand...
