Tries to open everything with a browser #1

Closed averms closed 2 years ago

When I edit a file and press gx on something like

/home/user/picture.png

Chrome opens a new tab and with home/user/picture.png. I did some debugging and I found out that the xdg open command that runs is

xdg-open http:///home/user/picture.png

I have a fork that fixes this and a few other things. Let me know if you want me to clean it up and open a pull req.

Yeah, the main use case I made it for is opening stuff in the browser. PRs always welcome!

I spent some time on this today, and this should be fixed now; gx always opens a path, and gX always an URL. This allows both opening local files and URLs like example.com/path.
