+# terminal-url-handler
+
+## motivation
+
+It would be great to put a link in my notes to the directory I working in on a project, and it opens a terminal right to there.
+
+## install
+
+```shell
+make user-install
+```
+
+## development
+
+happy to take contributions or enhancements.
+
+This seems like something that ought to be built-in for most desktops. 
+
+
+### lint
+
+```shell
+make lint
+```
+
+### XDG 
+
+all this business of `x-scheme-handlers` and desktop files, I am surprised there isn't a simple GUI that can help creating and indexing them.
+
+Discovering `x-scheme-handlers` is a programatic enough, but is currently primarily from shell?
+Whatever.
