/me nods.
Aha, and after a couple of weeks you discover that it annoys
you more than it helps. I was thrilled when I found out that
you can simply click on URLs in tkirc instead of cut-n-paste.
But you know what? Sometimes you want to cut-n-paste, you
do not want the url to be fol;lowed, you want to save it in a file.
Trust me, after a couple of weeks you will want to disable
the bloody feature unless browsing the Web is all you do.
