Re: gnome terminal question?

[Jake <jake spaz org>]

Thank you Germán,

I found it listed as a bug from just over a year ago:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754497

while I was reading about that, i found a comment that said:
"Ctrl + left click also follows to link. Unfortunately it's hard to 
discover this feature."

now that i have discovered it, I will use that instead, but I would 
certainly enjoy being able to simply left-click on a link, or better yet 
be able to do it from the keyboard, as noted in these bugs respectively:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721690
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709942
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421176

it seems to me that there were patches submitted for the last two links, 
but control-shift-U doesn't go to anything.  Is there a way to open links 
from the keyboard that is presently implemented?

thank you
