'gx'-style functionality or ability to use netrw's gx command

[ghost]

Netrw allows me to open non-text files in a default app (e.g. PDFs, jpegs) by using 'gx'. Could you implement this for Filebeagle? Interestingly, in the Dervish fork 'gx' is useable, but I much prefer Filebeagle.

Sorry for the delay. This should be an easy thing to do, but I do not have time right now. I will address it as soon as I get the chance.

I've configured some autocmd's do to exactly that. E.g. this opens the following files with the default viewer on linux:

" Open some binaries with external tools
autocmd BufReadCmd *.pdf silent !xdg-open % &
autocmd BufEnter *.pdf bdelete
autocmd BufReadCmd *.png silent !xdg-open % &
autocmd BufEnter *.png bdelete
autocmd BufReadCmd *.jpg silent !xdg-open % &
autocmd BufEnter *.jpg bdelete
autocmd BufReadCmd *.jpeg silent !xdg-open % &
autocmd BufEnter *.jpeg bdelete
autocmd BufReadCmd *.gif silent !xdg-open % &
autocmd BufEnter *.gif bdelete
