Here's what I do. I have a shell script: ========= 276 !$ cat ~/bin/urlhelper #!/bin/bash SEL=$(xclip -o -selection primary) if [ $? == 0 ] ; then xdg-open "$SEL" fi ======== (be sure to emerge "xclip") Bound to a hot-key using the xfce4 keyboard configuration to -g (for GO). Then, whenever I know I have some url selected (I don't need an applet to tell me) I just have to press the key combination and off it goes. :-) -- Keith Dart -- -- -------------------- Keith Dart =======================
