Option to disable the hyperlink tooltip/status bar

[wzxu]

Would like an option to never show this:
I find it pretty redundant as I can already see the working directory/filename or URL from the text that makes the link.

(To be honest I'd maybe tolerate it if it at least looks like iTerm's, it's just pretty ugly as it is currently.)

(The secure input indication is BEAUTIFUL, though. Gotta show my appreciation 💯)

Issues are not the way to make a feature request. Please see CONTRIBUTING.md. I've converted this to a discussion.

I'm not sure I like the idea of making this configurable. While you can easily see the URL that you think you're going to click, it could just as easily be an OSC8 link that goes somewhere else. For example, using HTML as pseudocode: <a href="http://bad.example.com">http://google.com</a>. The equivalent is possible with OSC8.

I think conditionally only showing the tooltip when it's OSC8 is more realistic but I'm just not sure if I like that level of configurability.

[wzxu]

Hmm if that's the case (wasn't aware HTML links also work) then yeah a hint may be a must.

I guess this indeed depends on how each terminal project sees the topic and not quite user-configurable,
seeing that some terminals, like kitty, WezTerm, Alacritty, just downright don't show them and also not configurable AFAIK.

[mitchellh]

Yes, not its not HTML links exactly, it's OSC8, but semantically they're the same.

I'm going to close this discussion as not planned due to the given reasons in my prior comment.

Would it be possible to adjust its appearance then?
Rounded corners and away from the edge like Safari's will do just fine.

(Safari doesn't do so good with the radius here though…)

I'm trying out a version of this in #2684.
