## Compared to `xdg-utils`
- Can open multiple files/URLs at once
- Can have multiple handlers and use rofi/dmenu to pick one at runtime
- Far easier to use with simple commands like `get`, `set`, `list`
- Can operate on extensions, **no need to look up or remember mime types**
- useful for common tasks like setting a handler for png/docx/etc files
- Superb autocomplete (currently just fish), including mimes, extensions, and `.desktop` files
- Optional json output for commands like `get`
## 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.
