joker-xopen

===========

### `xopen` command (client)

Without any config, you can use `xopen` as a cross-platform version `xdg-open` (Linux), `open` (macOS) or 

`start` (Windows).

    $ xopen https://www.pypi.org 

    $ xopen ~/sample-video.mp4

Show help:

    $ xopen -h

    

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

### Server

Show help

    $ python3 -m joker.xopen.server -h

    

    

Put a text file at `~/.joker/xopen/xopen.txt`, with content like

    c   ~/Code

    w   /var/www/html

    ns  /etc/nginx/servers

    ff  https://github.com/frozflame

    

    

Run server:

    $ python3 -m joker.xopen.server 

    

    

Then try

    $ xopen c

    $ xopen ff

    

To save some typing, you can give `xopen` an alias. Add in `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`:

    alias xo=xopen
