mapkey("Mod1 m", function () {
system.spawn("sh -c 'vlc $(" + tabs.current.uri + ")'");
});

There is no support to launch external program with javascript. But you can create mapping below

mapkey('a-m', "create vlc command line", function() {
    Normal.writeClipboard('vlc ' + window.location.href);
});

Then pressing alt-m will build a command line in clipboard, which you can paste within a launcher like alt-f2 / win-r to run.

Just a clarification: nothing has changed here, no workaround possible because of security reasons, right?
