Using nvim for opening downloads

[pinarruiz]

I have setted my xdg-open to use nvim.desktop, but using the CTRL+x to open download on a json file for example brings nothing up. Using it on a terminal, reuses the terminal, and opening qutebrowser from a terminal also reuses that terminal, is there anything I could do?

Thanks.

Nothing specific to qutebrowser here. xdg-open ignores Terminal=true, so you'll need a .desktop file that opens vim in a terminal applicaton of your choice. See e.g. arch linux - Set default xdg-open application to terminal program - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange which discusses this at length.

Alternatively, use a GUI application, e.g. nvim-qt.
