Am I a rare one being happy with Terminal.app?

It doesn’t support terminal hyperlinks, which are produced by many tools nowadays (rg, fd, ls, delta).

Ah, OK. Basically many terminal emulators allow you to create text that is clickable, with the click going to an arbitrary URL. That could be a URL on the internet, but there are more interesting possibilities: e.g. you click on a line number in your terminal and it opens in your editor / IDE at that line number.

The standard link that started it is https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3c..., but if you do internet searches for terms like `terminal hyperlinks ripgrep` or `terminal hyperlinks ls` or `terminal hyperlinks delta` you'll find more.
