Open mailto link in an already opened sup instance

[CaptainQuirk]

Hi,

I've managed to invoke sup in a terminal through a bash script, a .desktop file pointing to it and a new entry in ~/.config/mimeapps.list.

However, when sup is already opened, I get a warning about the index file being locked. Is there any way I could circumvent this ?

Thanks in advance !

Hey @CaptainQuirk ! sup is supposed to be used with a single instance, and there's no way to switch to the first opened session if you start it again.

A workaround would be to have sup run inside a tmux/screen/dtach session, and instead of running sup you reattach that session. There are probably some guides on the web on how to do this (irrespective of the actual application that is embedded)

Hi !

Thanks for your answer.

I was looking actually looking for a way to switch to my $EDITOR the same way launching sup with --compose. (As it is described in the wiki page about following mailto links)

As an alternative, I'm currenty trying to send keys with tmux to the pane containing sup but its cumbersome.

Any plan on implementing a kind of remote api (like in vim for example) ?

Bye
