I'm not sure I understand the question. I am unfamiliar with how mintty handles mouse clicks under the hood. I would expect that click-and-release-without-moving-the-mouse would invoke the "Open" behavior (for...

Also, when allowing to click-to-open for URLs and filenames without needing the CTRL modifier key to be held, I would expect double-click to retain its select-a-whole-word functionality and triple-click to...

Actually, having thought about it a bit more, I see what you're saying. Web browsers don't allow people to click-and-drag to select text while hovering over a URL. People must...

Oh, right, regarding Web browsers, I forget that people like to be able to click-and-drag hyperlinks to their bookmarks or to another app to open them there and whatnot. Makes...

Keep in mind that this behavior would be an option that isn't enabled by default. Hopefully people would read the documentation for this option to understand its fiddly caveats?

Of course, implementing this in the least fiddly way with a minimum of surprising caveats would be desirable! :-)

@mintty, has there been any progress on the "experimental build that kind of works" that was mentioned above? May I download this build somewhere? Perhaps the fiddly issues mentioned may...

I manually compiled this a couple of days ago. I've been testing it out. It works really well! Thank you so much. While playing around with this, I did have...

Nice! I've only tested with `OpeningMod=off` and the selection seems to work well now! Thank you.
