Can't find a way to "copy/open" the url added to an event #1291

Hi,

I'm pretty new to ikhal, but i'm having an issue which i'm not sure if that's how it normally is or if i'm missing something.

Let's say i add an event to the calendar and i add an url to it, how can i copy/get/open/retrieve that url from the event later? I can't seem to be able to use the mouse to select the url text, i can't open it, parse it, or nothing, it's just there and i can't seem to find a way to integract with it.

This seems really odd, it'd be a killer feature for me, since it's pretty much the reason why i'm switching to khal (to store meeting urls).

Edit: Sorry, wrote khal, i mean ikhal, the interactive khal mode.

What OS/shell/terminal are you using? AFAIC this is not the job ob the TUI application but should be handled by the terminal.

Sorry, typo, i meant to say that it's in ikhal, due to the "interactive" mouse, not khal (the pure cli).

I use alacritty anyway.

The terminal should handle this. alacritty crashes for me, so I can't test this myself.

Using foot, I can press Ctrl+Shift+o and it highlights all visible links.

Well, that works as a workaround too, i was opening it in my terminal editor and yanking the url from there.

Thanks!

This is a bit old, but i found something while -indirectly- investigating this issue that may be related.

I tested this through kitty, alacritty and wezterm with bash, fish and zsh in all combinations and it's the same, and i realized something, i "can't" click links in ikhal, but if i shift-click them, they work. This only happens in some cli apps, while in others a simple click works.

Any idea if this is some ikhal behaviour or similar?
