handlr

Manage your default applications with ease using handlr!

Features

  • Set default handler by extension or mime-type
  • Intelligent mime type detection from files based on extension and content
  • Open multiple files at once
  • Set multiple handlers for mime/extension and use rofi/dmenu to pick one
  • List default associations
  • Automatically removes invalid/wrong .desktop entries from mimeapps.list
  • Helper commands like launch, get --json for your scripting needs
  • Unnecessarily fast (written in Rust)
  • Single compiled binary with no dependencies

Usage

# Open a file/URL
handlr open ~/.dotfiles/pacman/packages.txt
handlr open https://google.ca

# Set default handler for png files
handlr set .png feh.desktop

# Set default handler based on mime
handlr set application/pdf evince.desktop

# List default apps
handlr list

# Get the handler for a mime/extension
$ handlr get .png
feh.desktop

# Launch a handler with given path/URL
handlr launch x-scheme-handler/https -- https://google.ca

Compared to xdg-utils

  • Can open multiple files/URLs at once
  • Can have multiple handlers and use rofi/dmenu to pick one at runtime
  • Far easier to use with simple commands like get, set, list
  • Can operate on extensions, no need to look up or remember mime types
    • useful for common tasks like setting a handler for png/docx/etc files
  • Superb autocomplete (currently just fish), including mimes, extensions, and .desktop files
  • Optional json output for commands like get

Setting multiple handlers

  1. Open ~/.config/handlr/handlr.toml and set enable_selector = true. Optionally, you can also tweak the selector to your selector command (using e.g. rofi or dmenu).

  2. Add a second/third/whatever handler using handlr add, for example

handlr add x-scheme-handler/https firefox-developer-edition.desktop
  1. Now in this example when you open a URL, you will be prompted to select the desired application.
