display org-link url

[Satoru KURASHIKI]

hi,

Are there any good way/settings to display org-link's url easily?

I'm happy if I can see them in minibuffer putting cursor on the org-link.
(like pointing urls on web browsers may show urls in statusbar)

regards,

I'm not sure whether it works in the console environment (I doubt it), but in a
graphics environment, if you hover with the moust over the link, you get
a "bubble" (I can't remember what it's really called :-( ) with the expanded link
shown.

try M-x org-toggle-link-display

that will show the long form of the links.

I think you are looking for "tooltip" ;)

Or with the point on the link, you can hit C-c C-l. That will bring up the
link for editing in the minibuffer. Hitting C-g will take you out of there
without modifying the link.

hi,

Thank you guys. I've tried them and found C-c C-l way is handy for me.

Another method: typing

C-u C-x =

somewhere inside the link shows you the text properties of the character
under the cursor. Characters in links have a couple of extra text
properties:

  help-echo            "LINK: file:my-theme.el"
  htmlize-link         (:uri "file:my-theme.el")

which show the referent of the link.
