Describe the question

If I try to open a thing lets say pdf, docx or something Dolphin knows which program to use to open selected thing. If default application is wrong surely I can change it with just right click default applications. Is there a way to say hey Yazi use Dolphin defaults while opening a file instead of specifying every extension in config file.

Anything else?

Yazi uses xdg-open by default:

yazi/yazi-config/preset/yazi-default.toml

Line 39 in 5c88f26

{ run = 'xdg-open "$1"', desc = "Open", for = "linux" },

If you're in a KDE session, xdg-open should invoke kde-open, which is probably what Dolphin uses under the hood. Otherwise, you can try setting kde-open directly in your ~/.config/yazi/yazi.toml file and see if it works as expected.

[opener]
open = [{ run = 'kde-open "$1"', desc = "Open", for = "linux" }]
