    keymap  fy      COMMAND "SET_OPTION display_link_number=0 ; RESHAPE ; LINK_BEGIN ; EXTERN_LINK 'url=%s ; printf "%b" "$url" > /tmp/clipbrd.txt ; printf "%b" "$url" | xsel -b 2>/dev/null ; printf "%b" "$url" | tmux load-buffer - ; printf '%s' "$url" | wl-copy 2>/dev/null  ; printf '%s' "$url" | clip 2>/dev/null ; printf '%s' "$url" > /dev/clipboard 2>/dev/null ; printf '%s' "$url" | pbcopy 2>/dev/null ; printf '%s' "$url" | termux-clipboard-set 2>/dev/null'"

    keymap  yy      EXTERN_LINK "url=%s ; printf "%b" "$url" > /tmp/clipbrd.txt ; printf "%b" "$url" | xsel -b 2>/dev/null ; printf "%b" "$url" | tmux load-buffer - ; printf '%s' "$url" | wl-copy 2>/dev/null  ; printf '%s' "$url" | clip 2>/dev/null ; printf '%s' "$url" > /dev/clipboard 2>/dev/null ; printf '%s' "$url" | pbcopy 2>/dev/null ; printf '%s' "$url" | termux-clipboard-set 2>/dev/null"
    # yank url to multiple clipboard (current page)
    keymap  YY      EXTERN "url=%s ; printf "%b" "$url" > /tmp/clipbrd.txt ; printf "%b" "$url" | xsel -b 2>/dev/null ; printf "%b" "$url" | tmux load-buffer - ; printf '%s' "$url" | wl-copy 2>/dev/null  ; printf '%s' "$url" | clip 2>/dev/null ; printf '%s' "$url" > /dev/clipboard 2>/dev/null ; printf '%s' "$url" | pbcopy 2>/dev/null ; printf '%s' "$url" | termux-clipboard-set 2>/dev/null"
