Ctrl+Click on Terminal not working

[XynanXDB]

I'm working on Unreal C++ project. Ctrl+click on Terminal started not working since a week ago.

Expected result is when my mouse hover over the path link on Terminal, it will display "Ctrl+click to follow link" and when I ctrl+link, I will go to the file of the path.

Current result is when my mouse hover over the path link on Terminal, it DOES NOT display "Ctrl+click to follow link" and when I ctrl+click nothing happens.

I wasn't able to capture the old terminal that was working perfectly but this is the one with the issue..

I use VSCode for Unreal Engine C++, I also installed LLVM 10.0.0 and Visual Studio Build Tools 2019 to enable C++ compilation. About 1-2 months ago, the error sentence will be underlined and clickable, on hover it will show "Ctrl-Click to follow link" but the picture I provided above shows that it's not underlined nor it's clickable.

Thanks for replying, look forward to hear from you soon.

Are you expecting the .cpp path to be clickable? That won't work now as it has a space in it and I'm not sure there's a nice way to detect links with spaces.

[Tyriar]

Also note you can turn on the new link system which is way better, see https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_45#_improved-links-in-the-terminal. Path links with spaces still won't work though.

I can confirm it's the space in the link that breaks the ctrl-click feature. I suggest either add support for ctrl-click for terminal or make the Microsoft user name to auto omit the space in between last name and first name. I was using the Microsoft account with Xynan Lee as my name and my C:\Users{Username} was Xynan Lee which clearly broke the ctrl-click feature.
