# xdg-sanity
|
||||
|
||||
The `xdg-sanity` script is built to replace your default web browser in your
|
||||
desktop/XDG settings. It intercepts http/s URIs sent to the default browser by
|
||||
`xdg-open` and sends it to the appropriate application. For example, it will
|
||||
send `image/jpeg` MIME type files to your image viewer.

## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### Arch
|
||||
|
||||
I maintain a package [on the
|
||||
AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xdg-sanity).
|
||||
|
||||
### From Source
|
||||
|
||||
First, make sure you have `curl(1)` and `handlr(1)` installed. Then, clone this
|
||||
repository and move the `xdg-sanity/` folder into `/etc` and `xdg-sanity.sh` to
|
||||
`xdg-sanity` wherever your operating system stores locally-installed binaries.
|
||||
This is usually `/usr/local/bin`. Make sure the installation location is in your
|
||||
`$PATH`.
|
||||
|
||||
Create a `xdg-sanity.desktop` file either manually or with `gendesk(1)`,
|
||||
placing it, also, where your OS stores locally-installed `.desktop` files,
|
||||
usually `/usr/local/applications`. Set your default web browser to that
|
||||
`.desktop` file.
|
||||
|
||||
Add your default web browser to `/etc/xdg-sanity/xdg-sanity.conf` so the
|
||||
script can forward links to it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Open links from applications outside your web browser as normal. Alternatively,
|
||||
you can call `xdg-sanity` directly with the only argument accepted being a URI.
|
||||
Add your default web browser to `/etc/xdg-sanity.conf` so the script can forward
|
||||
links to it.
