I committed a fix for an annoying bug in the urxvt [mark-yank-urls]{urxvt-url-yank} script.

This has been reported by several people. I have finally fixed it, but the credit should go to Hans Dieter Pearcey, Daniel Danner and Olof Johansson for reporting it.

In the quest for a completely mouse free desktop, I wanted to be able to yank URLs from the termial without using the mouse. This happens often enough in IRC when I would want to grab the most recent URL and run it in firefox.

I talked to the author of vimperator and he suggested that I look at urxvt (packaged as rxvt-unicode). So I did.

A few hours later and I have a perl plug-in for urxvt that does just want I wanted.
