As a Neovim user I like that the config is in Lua. There are however odd things that it still doesn’t have compared to Kitty, like the ability to have squared off corners in macOS

The killer feature of kitty for me is `crtl-shift-e`[0]. I really wish more emulators would copy it. Wezterm has explicit hyperlinks[1], but it requires you to click it with a mouse which is the last thing I want to do when inside a terminal.

For me the starting reason was the speed of the terminal but now its the open last command output in less[0], I know no other terminal that does this and it is a true life saver.

I used wezterm for a while and we added this key binding, I think it was from Wez himself ? -

    { key="e",          mods="CTRL|ALT",      action=wezterm.action{QuickSelectArgs={
            patterns={
               "http?://\\S+",
               "https?://\\S+"
            },
            action = wezterm.action_callback(function(window, pane)
               local url = window:get_selection_text_for_pane(pane)
               wezterm.open_with(url)
            end)
          } }
    },

is there a way to make this work with Explicit Hyperlinks?

Just the thing I was missing. Thank you
