When selection a multi-line URI in a terminal window I've noticed two behaviors. Some will ?ignore? the extra lines and only select to the end of the first line. Others will select the entire URI, typically to an ending ">". Obviously I would prefer the latter. Is this behavior terminal specific, i.e. gnome-terminal vs mate-terminal vs xterm. Or is it a configuration parameter that I've not found?
I use gnome-terminal and I've seen both behaviours. It seems to depend on how the text has been printed in some way. If a program is just dumping output to the screen, then usually if I mouse over it, I can see the whole link marked. In that case, right-click, copy link will get the whole thing. But for example, if I'm using less to view a file with urls, the link will get cut off at the edge of the screen. I assume that the terminal is aware that it has wrapped the line, because in those cases, if you change the size of the terminal, it will re-wrap the lines to the new size.
