Clickable notification [SOLVED]

yoda · 2020-05-24 15:48:41

Often time, in the top right corner of my screen, Web Sites I allowed to ( example Reddit) send notifications with URL I can click.

Thunderbird too etc etc....

But the Notification tool we use in Lithium make it impossible for me to click a URL in the notification....

What would be the easiest way, that if I get a notification, to make it " clickable" ?

For now, the notification show up and dissapear after a few secondes and I can't click it...

You can set the default timeout either via the configuration gui ( Menu -> Notifications ), or using the '-t' parameter in the notify-send command.

IIRC xfce4-notifyd specifically does not support "clickable" actions, using notify-send. You can add a link using markup, but it doesn't function.

notify-send "Title" "<a href='www.google.com'>Link</a>"

Hmmm, apparently not.
Dunst does! Upon install it replaces the existing notification daemon. Easy configuration via a single config file.

tks @ohnonot !
Will try

yoda · 2020-05-25 12:05:53

@ohnonot do you use it ? (Dunst)

I installed it but it doesn't seem to work... Rebooted etc

Will continue reading info I find about it on the web

I use dunst.
Assume you send a notification like this:

notify-send "Test" "<a href=\"https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/\">BL</a>"

And you have this in your ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc:

markup = full
# Display indicators for URLs (U) and actions (A).
show_indicators = yes
# dmenu path.
dmenu = /usr/bin/dmenu -p dunst:
# Browser for opening urls in context menu.
browser = /usr/bin/firefox
mouse_middle_click = do_action
# Context menu.
context = ctrl+shift+period

then you can either widdle-click the "BL" text in your notification, or press ctrl+shift+period and just enter on what dmenu displays.

tks a lot !!

I just installed it with defaults.

your test seems to work.

I don't have ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc but I do have /etc/xdg/dunst/dunstrc

You want me to create it in my home folder .config ?

Tks

Copy that /etc/xdg file to your local config directory and new edits will override the global config.

So, yes!

Tks !! Tks for your patience ;-)
