links to it.

|
### 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.
