open_copied_url

Description

Open contents of the clipboard in a user-defined browser.

The clipboard in this case refers to the CLIPBOARD selection which gets populated when pressing e.g. C-c.

Instructions

Add a keybinding like the following example to "shortcuts" in config.h:

{ MODKEY, XK_v, opencopied, {.v = "firefox"} },

Set the .v field of the last parameter to the program you want to bind to the key.

Notes

By default this patch binds the Mod+o to "xdg-open". This allows users to open the contents of the clipboard in the default browser.
