Ability to copy text and open urls from the Chat Log GUI

[100best]

I think it would be nice to be able to copy text and make URLs clickable in the Chat Log GUI.

Note: The workaround for now is to open the game using a terminal window (Command Prompt on Windows) and copy the chat logs from there.

There are logs storend in %appdata%/openspades (.openspades also i think)

For me it is stored in ~/.local/share/openspades.

For some reason ctrl+c and ctrl+v crash the game (?)

@Tapmemer inside the Chat Box? which version?

[ghost]

Inside chat box, version 0.0.12B(i know it doesnt help but i dont know the update version)

@Tapmemer That's weird, mine works fine. For how long have you been having this problem?

If you can confirm that this Copy and Paste Problem persists even after restarting OpenSpades and/or your computer. Please open a new issue here.

On a side note, I will add the Snapshots page to Wiki when I get some free time. So people can test if their issue still exists in the latest development version.

it happens over every release of openspades

@Tapmemer Have faith, now development is active again :)

How is this going to get implemented?

[noway]

ability to click urls is somewhat feasible: underscore the piece on hover. get those pieces by parsing using regexes

[feikname]

Processing the string before rendering it seems the best option.

Maybe implementing it like Minecraft did would be a good idea. When the user clicks, prompt it with 3 options:

• Copy to clibpboard
• Open in default browser
• Cancel

Also, we should only allow http and https to be clicked, for obvious reasons.

EDIT: We would also need to create "Clickable" and "Underlined" text properties probably.

Perhaps we could make URL's clickable only in a next version too.

Implementing only the copy-and-paste would already help a lot of users, and allow them to paste the URL in their browser, which seems not so bad.
