Mostly I ignore those “AI Overviews” that are infesting web searches these days. The vast majority of them seem to range from being light on content
to being completely useless.

Now, I found an exception.

In KDE Konsole, every now and then, I find the I-beam cursor changes to a
hand within a terminal session tab. Everything else worked as before, so I thought of this as a minor, cosmetic bug. I could have other tabs within
the same window with the usual I-beam cursor. This happens very rarely -- maybe once in several months.

Then yesterday, it happened again. So just for fun, I typed a few search
terms in, and a clue to the answer came back: at some point, according to
the AI, some text had been highlighted that looked like a URL, and the
hand was Konsole’s way of indicating that the link was clickable. The fix
to clear the condition is to find another URL in the terminal output and
click on it. This doesn’t actually do anything with the link (you have to make a selection from the right-click menu for that), but it does return
the cursor to the regular I-beam.

Just a moment ago, I just tried explicitly selecting and clicking some
URLs in a window, including in the scrollback, and the hand cursor never appeared. So I’m not really sure what state Konsole can get into that
causes this cursor to come up in the first place, so it’s likely the AI
was wrong about that (as usual). All I’m sure about, is that clearing it
can be done by looking for URLs in the terminal output.
