hi, With ls (GNU coreutils) 9.0 if I generate a hyperlink e.g.:
$ ls --hyperlink /etc/anacrontab it generates the following filename (after removing the markup) file://light/etc/anacrontab where 'light' is the name of my laptop (running arch linux). browse-url-xdg-open is my browser-function, and $ xdg-open file://light/etc/anacrontab generates the error: xdg-open: file 'file://light/etc/anacrontab' does not exist As the file URI is local, I think it might be a mistake to include the machine name, light, unless it is a FQDN. If I edit the URL to remove 'light' the link works as expected. This was reported for kitty terminal last year and fixed by dropping the hostname: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/2970 However, kitty seems to be able to connect to machines remotely via ssh ( https://download.calibre-ebook.com/videos/kitty.mp4 ) and so maybe having the domain name in the hyperlink is useful.
