Control-click
The fact that you can use Control-click to open URLs in Gnome Terminal is not very discoverable. (Just clicking doesn't do anything; perhaps this is to avoid breaking text selection?) I can't remember how I found out about it myself, but somebody I pointed it out to recently was delighted that they didn't have to use the context menu to open URLs, so I think it deserves wider publicity.

Ah yes, the famous "dingus click". Unfortunately there's no standard way to reveal 'click shortcuts' to the user, web browsers have the same problem (you can usually ctrl-click, alt-click and/or shift-click on links there too, with varying results). Might be nice to try and think of one though.
