[Konsole-devel] Adding custom URL filters

[Robert Knight]

Hi Joe,

There is no built-in option for this but if you don't mind modifying
the source you're looking in the right place.  The regular expression
used with the URL filter is defined at Filter.cpp:488 - if you want
the same functionality as for links then you can just alter this
regexp to include the path formats you want to highlight.

The UrlFilter class extends RegExpFilter which provides highlighting
for arbitrary regular expressions within a single line of the display.
 The filters are set up and attached to the terminal display in
SessionController.cpp:299

Regards,
Robert.
