URL Highlighter plugin¶
Detect URLs in any document, highlight them as clickable links, and open the one under the caret. Detection is live — links stay highlighted as you type and edit.
Where to find it¶
| Command | Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| View ▸ Highlight URLs | — | Toggles URL highlighting on/off; the choice is remembered. |
| Edit ▸ Open URL Under Caret | Ctrl+Alt+L |
Opens the link the caret is inside, in your default browser. |
When highlighting is on, URLs are underlined and show a hand cursor on hover; you can also Ctrl+click or double-click a link to open it.
Per-project setting¶
A project can override the global toggle for its own files via
.editorconfig:
This disables URL highlighting for files in that project regardless of the global View ▸ Highlight URLs state (and is itself gated by the editor's Apply .editorconfig settings option).
Highlighting pauses under a syntax colorizer
While a file is syntax-coloured, the colorizer owns the styling, so the underline is not painted — but Open URL Under Caret still works by scanning the text around the caret.
