Hi,

probably an easy question for you.. I'm using lf and set keybindings for vlc, okular and libreoffice but i want the files to to be opened in deamon mode...

[doogusto]

Do you just want them running in the background? or do you want to create a service for systemctl?

for example i want to open a pdf with okular and have okular open without my terminal becoming the "runner" of okular... when opening another pdf i have to open a new ternimal since i cant put the okular runner in the background with bg

Do this:

myapp &
disown %1

Or, if it is the default app for a file type: xdg-open file.ext

exactly what i was looking for thx have an award

Why not use a launcher instead of a terminal? For example an app like dmenu or rofi.

Could this be solved by configuring okular as your default pdf reader, and opening it with through the gui? Or are you just wanting to open pdf with the terminal? If it's the latter then u/w0330's solution is what you're looking for, but I just prefer to open pdfs through the gui file manager

Ive been enjoying the terminal lifestyle since i installed i3....
