URI Handlers

External applications can be defined to handle special URI schemas.

Default Handlers

Schema Handler
mailto: x-terminal-emulator -e mutt %s
ftp:// x-terminal-emulator -e wget ftp://%s
vimprobableedit: x-terminal-emulator -e vi %s

The last one is a special case which defines the external text editor to be called.

Customisation

Additional handlers can be defined or the default ones can be overridden in vimprobablerc. For example:

handler vimprobableedit: x-terminal-emulator -e nano %s
handler ftp:// xterm -e curl ftp://%s
