mime-scheme-handler - run programs to open URLs

[Home | GitLab | PyPI | ReadTheDocs]

Overview

The mime-scheme-handler command-line tool can be used to open URLs with custom schemes. Currently it only recognizes the ssh:// scheme, and it opens an X terminal emulator to run an SSH client with the specified connection properties.

Supported schemes

SSH

URL format: ssh://[username@]hostname[:port][#window title]

The mime-scheme-handler tool runs an X terminal to open an SSH connection according to the parameters specified in the URL:

x-terminal-emulator [-title window title] ssh [-p port] -- [username@]hostname
