Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources If I for example run git config -l and want to select one of the git urls, it will select the whole line, instead of the git://... remote.origin.url=git://repo.or.cz/kdebase.git Now this seems to be reproducable with other urls, like svn://, if they are behind a "=". So, the problem seems to be the equals sign. Now there is a setting in konsole named "Word characters for double-click selection" which affects this, the setting there is: :@-./_~?&=%+# If I remove the = there, it works. I still think, that it is a bug, because: a) It correctly works for the highlighting of the url (the correct part gets underlined) b) Other chars in that setting (for example : or /) are not affected
> If I remove the = there, it works. Double-clicking does not attempt any sort of URL detection. It just scans left and right from the current character, stopping when it finds a non-word character and then selects that region. If you want to copy a URL you can just right-click on it and click "Copy Link Address"
Hm, thanks, that works. So what about introducing url detection for double click?
I just wanted to report the same thing. This worked in kde 3.5, so it's a regression.
Double-clicking works for what it is suppose to do. If you want the link, right-click on it.
Are you serious? The current behaviour is completely unintentional. It already visually marks the url and everyone would expect double-clicking on it to mark it. And, as I said, it worked fine before.
I agree it would be useful if the double-click was smart enough to detect URLs and highlight them - one problem though is that it would then not follow the rules in the 'word characters for double click selection' setting - which might frustrate some users.
Yeah, the options should be changed then. Optimal solution: Add some "Autodetect URLs on doubleclick" that is default on.
