Hyperlinks not clickable with configured modifier key on Linux Mint 21.3 #7964

Issue

I think this is the first time I've ever run into an issue with Hyper, so that's cool. I have a Linux Mint notebook that I occasionally use and I've got it set up with Hyper. I was just spinning up a JS project and realized I couldn't open my http://localhost:3000 link in Hyper. At first I was trying to use Ctrl+Click out of habit from my main rig, which didn't work because on this machine it was set to use Alt+Click, which also didn't work. Tried changing it to Ctrl+Click and it still didn't work. So, links just aren't clickable in Hyper on my setup for some reason.

I'd swear on a stack of Bibles, Qurans, and HolyC manuals that I've clicked on hyperlinks in Hyper at least a few times before but now I'm questioning myself.

I saw older issues about the hyperlink option being made configurable or not but couldn't find anything about the feature flat out not working on Linux. I'll try backing up my config, wiping, and installing Hyper fresh once I wrap up work.

Just realized after running into something else that Mint's default Alt+LClick binding is the culprit. I thought I'd changed that a while ago but maybe a system update reset the option. For anyone else that runs into Ctrl+LClick or Alt+LClick not working with random stuff on Mint specifically, change the modifier key for moving windows with the mouse in the Settings UI (Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > somewhere) or change the modifier key with dconf. I referenced this comment in the Mint forums that worked fine. Most references online that I found to the location of the modifier setting in the system settings GUI are outdated.
