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 Linux I maintain a package [on the AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xdg-sanity). ### From Source Dependencies: - `curl(1)` - `handlr(1)` - [`tomcat(1)`](https://git.tebibyte.media/emma/tomcat) (optional; enables [extensions](#extensions)) Instructions: Clone this repository and move the `xdg-sanity` binary wherever your operating system stores locally-installed binaries. This is usually `/usr/local/bin/` or `"$HOME/.local/bin/"` for your user. Make sure the installation location is in your `$PATH`. Create an `xdg-sanity.desktop` file, placing it where your OS stores locally-installed `.desktop` files, which is usually `/usr/local/share/applications` or `$XDG_DATA_HOME/applications` for your user. Set your default web browser to that `.desktop` file using `handlr set`. #### Extensions Extensions are written using TOML and are stored in either `/usr/share/xdg-sanity` when installed from a package manager, `/usr/local/share/xdg-sanity` when installed locally, or `$XDG_DATA_HOME/xdg-sanity` for your user. Extension support requires the installation of the `tomcat(1)` tool, which parses TOML for the command line. There are three kinds of extensions: MIME, replace, and scheme. MIME extensions are parsed first and replace the MIME type of the content being fetched. Replace extensions change the URI passed to the command to another. Scheme extensions replace the protocol by which the URI hostname is being accessed. The type of the extension depends on the file name. MIME extensions should have a name ending in `.mime.toml`, replace extensions should have `.replace.toml`, and scheme extensions should end with `.scheme.toml`. Here's what a MIME extension looks like: ``` $ cat $XDG_DATA_HOME/xdg-sanity/youtube.mime.toml [replace] urls = [ "youtube.com", "youtu.be" ] [with] mime = "video/vnd.youtube.yt" ``` what a replace extension looks like: ``` $ cat $XDG_DATA_HOME/xdg-sanity/youtube.replace.toml [replace] urls = [ "youtube.com", "youtu.be" ] [with] url = "https://piped.mint.lgbt/" ``` and what a scheme extension looks like: ``` $ cat $XDG_DATA_HOME/xdg-sanity/spotify.scheme.toml [replace] urls = [ "spotify.com" ] [with] scheme = "spotify://" ```
