How do I enable "automatically parse URLs" ?

Perhaps I should rephrase that to "Can I enable - automatically parse URLs". When someone simply types a hyperlink directly into the editor (not using the link control on the toolbar) is there a way for the editor to recognize it and automatically convert it into a link?

For example: http://www.yahoo.com

OK, seems like the editor on the forum does it...so how can I turn this on on my CK Install? (I've been searching the forums and documentation but can't seem to find it)

In this forum is done by a server script, so you can code the same.

OK. My forum uses a REGEX filter but I wondered if you were doing this in the editor itself. So, you're doing something similar? Any direction or recommendations?

The editor doesn't tries to detect URLs, IE does that but it can't be disabled and no other browser implements it.
This forum is a PhpBB forum, so you can ask them for advice, I have no idea about what they do.

Would it be possible to write a plugin to auto-recognize URLs? An urlayt plugin? Looking over scayt, it could be as easy as just tying into insertElement or insertHtml.

Are there any docs on writing 3.x plugins? How would I get started?

Yes, it could be possible to write such a plugin.
There are several guides about writting plugins (each one focused on one part), you can google for them, but the best documentation is the source code itself.
