## Setting multiple handlers
1) Open `~/.config/handlr/handlr.toml` and set `enable_selector = true`. Optionally, you can also tweak the `selector` to your selector command (using e.g. rofi or dmenu).
2) Add a second/third/whatever handler using `handlr add`, for example
```
handlr add x-scheme-handler/https firefox-developer-edition.desktop
```
3) Now in this example when you open a URL, you will be prompted to select the desired application.
