URLs can't be open with the mouse if their line is wrapped

[fulalas]

First of all: this project is AMAZING! Really! Congrats! :)

Links can be clicked with the mouse and they work nice unless the terminal window is not large enough to accommodate it in a single line.

Kind off-topic questions: is there a way to: 1- move the cursor in a message with Ctrl + arrow (to jump to empty spaces)? Same to Ctrl + End and Ctrl + Home. 2- set the send message shortcut to Ctrl + Enter? I tried many combinations, but nothing seems to work. Using nchat -k doesn't help because pressing Enter or Ctrl + Enter seems to trigger the same output.

Sorry to flood this, but I found two more issues:

1- there's no way to select a wrapped line message without also selecting the contacts at left (well, unless we hide the contact list) 2- if we paste a text like this in a given chat, different people will receive parts of the text (I have both Telegram/WhatsApp enabled):

Hi, thanks for the feedback! For future issue reports, I'd like to suggest to report different issues separately.

Anyway, for mouse clicking links with line-breaks, I consider it out-of-scope for this project. It would be fairly complicated to implement, and likely only support when chat list is hidden (i.e. messages are full width), and thus only benefit a subset of users. You may however select a message (key up/down) and press Ctrl-W to open link(s) in the message.

For word/message navigation, please refer to the README. But essentially nchat supports equivalent to bash shell (Alt-Left, Alt-Right, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-E).

I believe Ctrl-Enter does not send a unique key code by default, so it cannot be differentiated by nchat. One can probably configure the terminal (for example xterm) to send a unique key code for Ctrl-Enter, but how to do that would be specific for each terminal.

For selecting a line-wrapped message, you can hide the contact list using Ctrl-L and then select message lines across the full terminal width. Or you can simply select the message and use Alt-C to copy its content.

For pasting text (assuming containing tab characters, which by default switches to next chat) please try using the internal paste command Alt-V, or alternatively reconfigure the keybinding next_chat=KEY_TAB in key.conf.

I'll proceed to close this issue for now, but feel free to re-open for any follow-up questions or issues.

Not only your project is amazing, but you're very kind. :)

I managed to set Home and End to begin_line and end_line, respectively. I wonder why this is not the default, as this seems more intuitive because it's the default in any editor and even most terminal -- you could change the history home / end to Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End. Same for backward_word and forward_word using Ctrl-Left and Ctrl+Right.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the kind feedback!

The default key bindings for text input are generally based on default bash behavior. There are also some complexities with supporting ctrl + navigation keys portably across terminal emulators / operating systems, at least given that nchat is based on ncurses.
