How to open a URL with the keyboard?

[nzig]

I'd like to be able to open a URL without using the mouse. I can copy the URL with Quick Select Mode, but I could not find a way to trigger opening the URL with just the keyboard.

Ideally I could use some modifier like Ctrl+prefix in Quick Select Mode to open the URL. Is there a way to configure this?

The latest nightly build allows this using quickselect to trigger a lua callback which in turn can then open the URL.
There's an example in the docs:

This is amazing, great thanks! One question, when I run that function I get:

Select:   (type highlighted prefix to copy, uppercase pastes, ESC to cancel)

which is not applicable for that use case. Can that string be changed?

[wez]

what sort of change would you like to see there?

[gegoune]

Something truthful, I know what I invoked so it's not a big problem really, but that default message is just not true in this case. Maybe something like

Select:   (type highlighted prefix to open url, ESC to cancel)

Don't want to waste your time on something as irrelevant as this.

Amazing, thanks! Will check it out once new nightly is available.
