Describe the bug

right on the start, opening on xterm, with no feature to open links in browser (or even detect links), when one try to select the youtube tutorial link, hundreds of browsers are forked in the background.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. start xterm
  2. open lazygit for the first time
  3. try to select (to copy) the links on the initial "popup"

Expected behavior

I can select the text. but instead my browser on the background spans a few dozen tabs to the link.
