[Solved] Clickable links in lxterminal

I can't seem to figure out how to tell lxterminal which browser to use for opening links. Currently, clicks on links are just ignored.
I made sure I set the default protocol handler for xdg-open, but that doesn't seem to cut it.
Does anyone know how does lxterminal choose a browser to use?

Re: [Solved] Clickable links in lxterminal

Gah, I found the problem. It does seem to delegate to xdg-open, but one needs to hold Ctrl while clicking the link. I even found a bug report about this not being documented anywhere (although, the bug report wrongly claims Ctrl+Alt need to be held).
Anyway, I was passively shopping for a new terminal, so I'll give urxvt a go. Thanks,
