I used to be able to click links on integrated terminal by holding the Alt key. Now, without any action on my part (I haven't even update it), it changes to some useless cross symbol.

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette). Lastly, please attach this file via the GitHub web interface as emailed responses will strip files out from the issue.

Happy coding!

The terminal's usage of editor.multiCursorModifier may have regressed?

[Tyriar]

The issue I'm seeing is editor.multiCursorModifier no longer seems to flip the terminal link modifiers and column select modifier. Additionally the + cursor isn't showing anymore when using column selection.

[Tyriar]

Actually I don't think it ever flipped the column select modifier

[Tyriar]

When "editor.multiCursorModifier": "ctrlCmd" is set, alt+click still opens fine. After xtermjs/xterm.js#4921 the crosshair will be working as intended, the link pointer cursor will override it correctly.

I can still repro if "editor.multiCursorModifier": "alt". Is there something else I should set? It works fine if I set "editor.multiCursorModifier": "ctrlCmd".

Since verification steps are needed and @Tyriar is OOF, this issue will be moved to the February 2024 milestone.

[alexr00]

@meganrogge in case you know the verifications steps.

[meganrogge]

I verified that regardless of the value of editor.multiCursorModifier, I can open links in the terminal with ctrlCmd and holding alt allows me to do column selection, which I believe is by design.

It turns out that the bug has nothing to do with the cross cursor. The real cause was extension host keep crashing after a few minutes after opening a big TypeScript monorepo.
