Terminal.hyperlinkCheckEvent

string hyperlinkCheckEvent(gdk.event.Event event)

Returns a nonempty string: the target of the explicit hyperlink (printed using the OSC 8 escape sequence) at the position of the event, or null.

Proper use of the escape sequence should result in URI-encoded URIs with a proper scheme like "http://", "https://", "file://", "mailto:" etc. This is, however, not enforced by VTE. The caller must tolerate the returned string potentially not being a valid URI.

Parameters

event a #GdkEvent

Returns

a newly allocated string containing the target of the hyperlink,

or null
