  Cross-platform, fast, feature-rich, GPU based terminal

For people interested in playing around with different terminal emulators, you’d do yourself a service trying https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty

It made my experience on high DPI screens far better. You can find it packaged up in the usual places (e.g. Debian).

• libsixel

  23 2,383 0.0 C

  A SIXEL encoder/decoder implementation derived from kmiya's sixel (https://github.com/saitoha/sixel).

If you liked the tektronix emulation, also have a look at sixel graphics [1], which also work in an xterm. Helpful if you are logged in via ssh without X forwarding, and need some graphics...

  Perl extensions for the rxvt-unicode terminal emulator (by johntyree)

> but we can hijack it to instead scan the screen for URLs and open the browser

For comparison, rxvt-unicode has perl utils for mouse-less URL selection [1]. Since it's operating within the terminal, scrollback is also available for selection (not just the currently visible screen).

After invoking the selection mode, it's as easy as using j/k to choose the URL and Enter to open or y to yank to clipboard. Installed on Arch with the `urxvt-perls` package.
