            Bug ID: 395550
           Summary: Extending "hints" with user provided url hints
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
          Reporter: emilse...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Konsole already has this amazing "URL Hints" feature. You wouldn't have to use
your mouse to open the URL's.

The idea is extending the same feature to it supports "hints" for any regular
expressions.

For example, I personally have to deal with a lot of uuid's during the day.

They generally look like this:

7b6436b2-005d-11e7-b9c2-f23c91b0d077

The idea is that I'd give this regular expression to Konsole:

/^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[1-5][0-9a-f]{3}-[89AB][0-9a-f]{3}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/i

Then, every time I hold the "hint" keyboard shortcut, it would detect those
strings as well, and offer them to me to open them.

And instead of opening them in the browser, it would just copy them to the
clipboard.

Konsole can then provide a list of widely known regular expressions by default.

For example:

UUID
Hex Colors
ISO Date's
...

That'd make Konsole much much more keyboard friendly.
