💅 handlr-open — bestie's guide to opening stuff

Okay so real talk: this is the manual page for handlr-open from the General Commands Manual — say it with me, handlr-open(1) 🎀 — and it's literally the tool that opens your paths and URLs with whatever their default handler is. Iconic behaviour honestly.

✨ NAME ✨

handlr-open — open a path/URL with its default handler 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

handlr open [-s|--selector] [-e|--enable-selector]
[-n|--disable-notifications] [-t|--force-terminal-output]
[-v|--verbose]... [-q|--quiet]... [-h|--help] <PATHS>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Open a path/URL with its default handler. That's the whole vibe 💫

But here's the part where it eats: unlike xdg-open and similar resource openers, multiple paths/URLs may be supplied. Not one. Multiple. We love a generous queen 👑.

And if multiple handlers are set and enable_selector is set to true, you'll be prompted to select one — using selector from ~/.config/handlr/handlr.toml. So you get a lil menu moment ✨ Otherwise, the default handler will be opened, no questions asked, very lowkey of it.

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• -s, --selector=SELECTOR — override the configured selector command. You're the boss now 💅
• -e, --enable-selector=ENABLE_SELECTOR — override whether or not the selector is enabled. [possible values: true, false]
• -n, --disable-notifications — disable notifications on error. No drama in your notification tray 🙈
• -t, --force-terminal-output=TERMINAL_OUTPUT — overrides whether or not to behave as if the output is an interactive terminal. [possible values: true, false]
• -v, --verbose — increase logging verbosity. Can be stacked, so go off 🗣️
• -q, --quiet — decrease logging verbosity. Also stackable, shhh 🤫
• -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h).
• <PATHS> — paths/URLs to open. Yes, plural, we been knew 💖

Side note bestie: the synopsis shows [-v|--verbose]... and [-q|--quiet]... with the dots, meaning you can pass them more than once. Don't ask me to pick a favourite verbosity level, I can't 🥲

That's genuinely the whole thing, no cap. Go open some paths, queen 🧚
