Hello all,
I'm using hyprland on a fresh arch install and having difficulty setting vim as the default app to open text files.
Basically, when I execute
xdg-open foo.txt
in a terminal, the terminal briefly flashes, and then I get this:
Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal
Vim: Error reading input, exiting...
Vim: Finished.
2R1R1;277;0c10;rgb:b2b2/b2b2/b2b211;rgb:0000/0000/0000
I haven't touched the vim.desktop file packaged with vim. Also, the results of the following are normal:
> xdg-mime query filetype foo.txt
text/plain
> xdg-mime query default text/plain
vim.desktop
If I set the default to another app (kate, for example) it opens fine in kate. But when I set it to vim (or neovim), I get the same strange error. Opening the file on the command line with
vim foo.txt
works fine, but I'd like to be able to open text files in a file browser that uses xdg-open.
Anyone have an idea of a next step to troubleshoot this?

Don't know how I missed that other thread. Thanks for your suggestion, which works perfectly.
