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...

>>OP I use plain old Gnome Terminal. Copying text and opening links sounds like it'd be incredibly annoying if you used a terminal in the strict sense.

>>OP I'm using the kitty [1] termemu, which was thiis wonderful shortcut ctrl+shift+u: It highlights all URLs on the current screen, marks them with a single letter, and when you press this letter, it copies the URL to the clipboard. Then I can consume it from everywhere. -- 1. https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/

Climbing a new learning curve in this: I used to only use emacs just to have org-mode, but in the last year have started doing more and more in it, and less flipping to vim in another terminal window. Somehow I've now configured Doom Emacs here and installed a few packages, and figured out the menu bar for non-GUI emacs, because I still need my training wheels.

>>OP It depends. I mostly use mate terminal, and I can paste© from it with little issues. That is not the case when I use a real VT420 terminal.

>>3 Well, my first reply to my post: In my terminal qterminal and Konsole I do (and here the users say the same) "Ctrl+Shift+C key" to copy to clipboard from terminals. When I am in Vim from terminals (not use Gvim) I need to set :set mouse=0 because if I set :set mouse=a I can not use Ctrl shift C because ths shortcut change mode to Visual selection. So I change set mouse from 0 to a and then to 0 again!

>>5 Interesting tool! I use qterminal (lubuntu from 2 GB RAM) and konsole (little use) so I am limited from my poor RAM. If not I test kytty terminal. it is in my repo with a lots of comments from users from Ubuntu. Regards

>>2 In Vim I am using the plugin System-Copy. Whit it I use cp+motions like cpG cp$ and cP for copy to clipboard the entired line (I use tw=0 so my line has lots of Bram's virtual lines). In this way I use a not mouse (touchpad really method) method because I am using counts plus operator cp plus motions. I hope it help you! it is in github.
