Alacritty: URL Launcher does not work within tmux session

Created on 10 Apr 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: alacritty/alacritty

URL Launcher functionality does not detect URLs inside tmux session.
Without tmux a click on a URL works as expected.
Compared to another terminal (MATE terminal) where URLs are clickable even inside tmux sessions.

Which operating system does the issue occur on?

  • Linux Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

If on linux, are you using X11 or Wayland?

  • X11

Does this work when pressing shift?

It does if I specify Shift as a modifier in the config. So it does not work with either 'None' or 'Control' modifiers.

It works because you've got mouse mode enabled in tmux. To make it possible to click URLs you have to first deactivate this mouse mode or tmux will handle all the events itself.

You don't need to specify shift as modifier, shift will automatically disable mouse mode when held for all purposes.
