@pdufour by just looking through hyperterm issues my mind gets blown by the crazy time saving things I didn’t know about iTerm and mac terminal. Thanks for sharing 😉 +1
And we merged it today, coming in the next version 😃
Ok guys here we go: https://github.com/adamscybot/hyper-alt-click
It’s a giant hack, and probably buggy, but I just needed this feature. Very experimental at this stage, hopefully room for improvement. Especially support in Vim/Nano etc.
Completely untested on everything but my mac…
Ok, I have a working solution inside a plugin that is very very hacky. As mentioned, the lack of spans to detect click event makes this very tricky. I think proper support would need to be integrated into hyper itself. Or an improved plugin API.
Regardless, I know it will help some people so I will finish it off this week and publish (hopefully tomorrow evening, GMT).
Update: There’s a PR in xterm for this feature https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/pull/896
