$ xdg-settings set ${default-url-scheme-handler} ${mailto} ${evolution-desktop}
try on your machine
This command is using the "xdg-settings" tool to set a default URL scheme handler for the "mailto" scheme to be "evolution-desktop".
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "xdg-settings": It is a tool for querying and modifying default settings for various components in the XDG specification.
- "set": It is the command used to set a new value for a specific setting.
- "${default-url-scheme-handler}": This is a placeholder for a variable that represents the default URL scheme handler. It should be replaced with the actual name of the handler.
- "${mailto}": Another placeholder for a variable representing the specific URL scheme to be set. In this case, it is the "mailto" scheme used for email addresses.
- "${evolution-desktop}": This is another variable placeholder representing the desired default handler for the "mailto" scheme. It should be replaced with the actual name of the handler, which in this case is "evolution-desktop" (likely the Evolution email client).
In summary, this command sets the default email client to "evolution-desktop" for handling "mailto" links, allowing them to be opened directly in Evolution when clicked.
