Alt+l linkhandler issue

[hexinal]

My dmenu does appear and extract links but doesn't seem to be able of opening anything. Using linkhandler separately does work though.

If you're using linkhandler it's possible that there was some error or delay in opening something. I.e. if you selected a YouTube video, it will try to open in mpv and will not show errors or if your connection is bad, will be delayed.

I've actually just pushed a change that reverts the program used to open links to xdg-open for compatibility with people not using LARBS. I might make a more robust solution later.

I mainly used it to open normal http/(s) links anyway the xdg-open build works fine for me, cheers!
I'm not sure where the issue came from though, I've tested most cases outside of al+l and they all seemed to work flawlessly 🤫

@hexinal I noticed the same issue so I tried running sudo su and then cat file_with_urls | xurls | dmenu and replicated the issue. I fixed it by copying the executable for xurls to /usr/local/bin
