A script to run with MacOS Automator to enable "Always open with" for file types I want to open in nvim.
I use Wezterm for a terminal, but should be pretty easy to hack it for whatever terminal emulator you use.
In order to use as-is, you'll need the following:
- MacOS with Automator (duh?)
- WezTerm installed
- Neovim installed
1. Set the following variables in the script
- TERM_EXEC - the path to your wezterm executable
- NVIM_EXEC - the path to your nvim executable
2. Create an Automator applet
Use the run shell script action, pointing at this script.
3. Associate files/filetypes Use normal MacOS Finder interfaces to set "always open with" and / or "apply to all" stuffs.
4. Add an icon to the applet (optional) Some users still use the mouse for things and enjoy dropping a file onto an icon in their dock. The automator icon is ugly, so I included the icon I use.
- Select the
nvim.icns, and copy it. (cmd + c)- Highlight the applet in Finder and open info (cmd + i)
- Click the current applet icon in the top of the info window, and paste (cmd + v)
Included a MacOS Icon file that I didn't make. File was originally shared in this Reddit post by Reddit user u/danbee.
WTFPL. Do whatever you want.
