choosy

Choosy program that launches other programs depending on its arguments. I wrote it because I use multiple Chrome browser profiles and I want certain links to always open in certain profiles.

Installing

cargo install choosy

Make sure to set it as your default browser.

Configuration

Choosy is configured in ~/.config/choosy.toml.

Choosy maps regexes to commands, along with additional arguments to be passed to the command. The longest match is used to select a program. A default program is required.

Example: always open youtube links with google-chrome --profile-email=bar@example.org

default = { command = 'google-chrome', args = [] }

[overrides]
'^(https?://)?(www\.)?youtube\.com' = { command = 'google-chrome', args = ['--profile-email=bar@example.org'] }
