- samtrack2019 7mo agowith the web browser you see a preview of the link ! not with most terminal i have tested
- alpaca128 7mo agoIn a terminal I'd intuitively expect displayed text to not lie, especially if clicking it has consequences. The use-cases provided seem to all just be more or less "it's convenient and looks good", which is the last thing I care about in a situation like that.
- Jean-Philipe 7mo agook fair point
- hombre_fatal 7mo agoThat's probably not a good intuition to have for a display rendered from ANSI escape sequences. Maybe not even from text rendered from unicode. Though a good terminal should let you control whether you want to render the anchor text, show you the underlying link when you focus/hover/click it, etc.
