Hello, I tried googling for this without success.
I was wondering if anybody knows of a way to get urlview to show some
context along with the URLs it presents. For example, some newsletters
come littered with URLs, and especially when they reference mailing list
archives, they get hard to deal with. For example, something like:
21 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0204/msg02136.html
22 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0204/msg02366.html
23 http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0204/msg02186.html
24 http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal-0204/msg00072.html
Means that I have to remember which number I'm looking for before I
enter urlview, and also that I need to exit urlview and go back and look
at the message to figure out what the other links are for before I pick
the next one to follow.
I wish urlview had a mode in which it would display its entire input on
the output, with selectable URLs, instead of just the list of selectable
URLs. Better still would be another option that would work like grep's
-C (or 3 options, and follow the example of grep's -A and -B as well).
(I'm talking about GNU grep, in case the context options aren't the same
on all greps.)
I just wanted to know if anybody knows workarounds that provide this
functionality. I guess one is "use gnome-terminal instead of xterm", but
I'm looking for other ideas. If the only response I get is "sounds good;
let us know when the patch is ready!" I might give it a shot, but more
likely I'll just switch to gnome-terminal ;)
good times,
Vineet
