It should be possible to click a link, no matter if the terminal supports it natievly or not

[Bios-Marcel]

Since cordless can't show picture and such, stuff like downloading files, viewing pictures and whatnot, works via opening a link. I myself use a vte-based terminal, therefore I can click anything that follows the pattern https?://.+ (or so). However, some other terminals don't support this, which makes it very annoying to use cordless on those terminals.

Even terminals that natively support URLs don't necessarily support URLs that wrap across lines within the message/chat window (as happens very often for Discord image URLs)

[Bios-Marcel]

Yup, true. Check the configfile, I added a local linkdhortener for that, it usually helps, even though it sometimes causes wrapping too.

[aaronjanse]

Ooh, thanks. I'll take a look!

viewing pictures and whatnot

Side note that while this is technically possible, I agree that it rarely works well (I personally prefer the link approach)

The only terminal where I've gotten it to work reliably is xterm

[Bios-Marcel]

I recommend termite.

I'll take a look :+1:

Out of curiosity, is showing images downright impossible? Too complicated? I've used https://github.com/seebye/ueberzug and w3m for displaying images in ranger with termite, but I'm guessing scrolling complicates things?

[Bios-Marcel]

cba, there's no standard, it's hacky, wrong and not crossplatform

[indeedwatson]

gotcha
