External applications can be defined to handle special URI schemas.
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.
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
