Description Thiago Sueto 2024-03-22 20:33:50 UTC
SUMMARY
Konsole and Yakuake only accept Ctrl + click for urls (https://) and x-scheme-handlers (file://).
It should be possible to use Ctrl + click for absolute paths too.

As a workaround, it's possible to just make all file paths directly clickable by going to Edit Current Profile -> Mouse -> Miscellaneous -> Underline files, but that's not ideal.

The reason for reporting this is that I want to make this tip here better: https://develop.kde.org/docs/getting-started/building/kdesrc-build-tips/ , the idea being that the user doesn't need to set anything by default and can just Ctrl+click.

kdesrc-build used to use file:// URLs so they were clickable with Ctrl, but now it uses absolute paths instead.

its possible to fix this in kdesrc-build too, by sending a url escape code
to the file.
still, i believe thats possible.
