Clickable links

URLs printed in a terminal are links. Open them in your browser without copying and pasting.

How to use it

Hold ⌘ (macOS) or Ctrl (Windows, Linux) and click a link. While you hover over a link, a hint shows the shortcut.

A plain click doesn't open anything, so selecting text that contains a URL doesn't launch your browser by accident.

What counts as a link

• http:// and https:// URLs that appear in the output.
• Hyperlinks that programs print with the OSC 8 escape sequence, where the visible text differs from the address (for example ls --hyperlink).

Only http and https addresses open. Other schemes, such as file: or ssh:, are ignored for safety.

Tips

• Running a dev server over SSH? Pair the link with a Port Forwarding rule so the address opens on this computer.
