Junction: An Application Switcher to Open Files and Links
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
**Brief:** _An interesting tool to make things easy when accessing files or opening links. Let us check it out_.
|
||||
|
||||
The workflow is not often seamless for users who dabble with multiple applications for accessing different files and open links using various browsers.
|
||||
|
||||
You probably get used to it, but it may not be the fastest way to get things done.
|
||||
|
||||
Meet **Junction**, an application switcher that helps you quickly open files/links with your favorite applications.
|
||||
|
||||
### Junction: Open-Source Application or Browser Switcher for Linux
|
||||
|
||||
![][1]
|
||||
|
||||
While we can use the “**Open with**” option from the right-click menu to choose a certain application when opening a file, it isn’t the fastest way.
|
||||
|
||||
With [Junct][2][i][2][on][2], instead of looking for the application that you can want a file to open with (or constantly changing defaults), you have to set the “**Junction**” app as your default.
|
||||
|
||||
In that way, whenever you open a link or access a file, launch email composer, etc., the Junction app will launch to show you relevant applications that you may want to access.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, it supports keyboard navigation, making it a useful addition for keyboard power users.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Basically, it saves you a few clicks every time you want to access the file/link in a different application.
|
||||
|
||||
### Features of Junction
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
It is a simple tool fit for a specific group of users. You may or may not find it redundant, but the features should make up for it in case you want to try:
|
||||
|
||||
* Choose the application to open with through a launcher/switcher
|
||||
* Show the location before launching
|
||||
* Ability to edit the URL before opening it
|
||||
* Hint for insecure link
|
||||
* Keyboard navigation
|
||||
* Ability to add more applications to the switcher/launcher (it remembers the addition for next time as well)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Using Junction to Access Files and Links
|
||||
|
||||
To set it up, you need to launch the app and set Junction as the default for Web, as shown below.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
For using it on any file type, you can head to the respective file properties and change the default application for it as shown below:
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
For links, you can test it by clicking on “**Test Junction**” as shown in the previous screenshot above. Or, you can click on any link from another app to see the Junction app in action.
|
||||
|
||||
Here’s how it looks when you attempt to click a link and get Junction to help you choose:

||||
### Install Junction in Linux
|
||||
|
||||
Junction is primarily available as a Flatpak application. So, you can install the package from [Flathub][9] or look for it on your software center (if Flatpak integration is in place).
|
||||
|
||||
Considering you have [Flatpak set up][10], you can type in the following command to install it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
flatpak install flathub re.sonny.Junction
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can also check out its [GitHub page][11] to learn more use-cases or tips/tricks to utilize it.
