    You can use Ctrl+Shift+F search by for example regex Esc, then copy by Ctrl+Shift+C ... not ideal and I know I have seen something about this elsewhere, but can not find it. Thought it was here gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal - but does not look like it. Commented Jun 23, 2021 at 8:25
  • Thank you for your suggestion, @ibuprofen. This doesn't seem to work for long URLs spanning multiple lines, but it's definitely a step forward. I'll expand on this a bit as an answer as I wait for a more proper solution. Commented Jun 24, 2021 at 7:48
  • Yes. It is not a good solution. I use xfcef-terminal as well, (though a custom build). I have still not managed to locate where I read about the hyperlink collection. The botched highlighting is a (bug) I believe in vte (xfce uses vte). Actually if one search forward entire match is highlighted, but not when searching backwards (or on initial search). One can ofc use screen etc., but that is not a solution either. Commented Jun 24, 2021 at 8:30
