dsh-pathlink > English · 中文 Ctrl+click file paths and links in DeepSeek Harness chat. Recognizes file paths and URLs in rendered chat messages (assistant replies, user bubbles, code blocks, tool cards), marks them with a subtle dotted underline, and opens them with Ctrl+click (⌘ on macOS): - Path → containing folder — the file's folder opens in the OS file manager with the file selected (Windows explorer /select, macOS open -R, Linux xdg-open on the parent directory). A path that names a directory opens the directory itself. - Link → new browser tab — covers bare URLs the renderer did not linkify (e.g. in user bubbles); markdown links already open in new tabs natively. Plain clicks stay inert, so text selection and copy are never disturbed. When a path does not exist, a small toast explains why instead of failing silently. > ① Hovering a path shows the Ctrl+click hint — Ctrl+click opens the containing > folder with the file selected · ② The recognized path in a real conversation > (dotted underline). ## Install sh dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-pathlink or via GitHub: sh dsh plugin --profile web add github:penguin-oo/dsh-pathlink Restart the web GUI afterwards. Requires the web profile (a browser is the only surface that can receive the click). ## Usage 1. Wait for a settled message that mentions a path or a link — recognized tokens get a dotted underline. 2. Hold Ctrl (or ⌘ on macOS) and click. - Path → folder opens in Explorer/Finder with the file selected. - Link → opens in a new browser tab. 3. Relative paths resolve against the session's workspace directory first, then the harness working directory; missing paths show a toast. ## Config | Key | Default | Meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | maxPathChars | 1024 | Longest accepted path text, in characters | ## How it works - Client half (dsh.client, platform web): a MutationObserver-driven scanner watches the rendered conversation containers (data-chat-flow / data-conversation-scroll), recognizes paths and URLs in text nodes, wraps matches in inert inline spans, and handles one delegated capture-phase click listener. The official chatFileMentions seam is deliberately not used so the plugin never conflicts with the built-in deliverables provider and covers every surface uniformly. - Host half (pathlink Remote service): one read-only open method that resolves relative paths against the addressed session's working directory, verifies existence, and launches the platform file manager. No durable state; it never creates or resumes an Agent or Session. ## Development sh npm install npm run build # bundle src/client → lib/client.js npm run smoke # Remote markers + Typert manifest validation node scripts/e2e-synthetic.mjs # browser E2E against http://127.0.0.1:3738 docs/demo.html is built with node scripts/build-demo.mjs (reuses the production recognizer) and screenshotted by node scripts/e2e-screenshot.mjs. ## Limitations - Web GUI only (the click surface is a browser); the host opener covers Windows / macOS / Linux. - Path recognition is heuristic: CJK directory names survive, but a path whose final segment is a bare English word (no extension) followed directly by prose may occasionally be over-matched — the existence check then shows the not-found toast instead of opening anything wrong. ## License MIT ## Acknowledgements Built for the DeepSeek Harness plugin ecosystem — thanks to the community on LINUX DO for feedback and testing.
