[BUG] Opening in interactive shell using `xdg-open` yields `unexpected EOF` about visidata HOT 4 OPEN

Can you see if it works if you change that line in visidata.desktop to:
Exec=vd %F

That's two changes: get rid of bash, and then make %f uppercase. %F is a list of files, according to documentation. I would expect it is more versatile than the lowercase %f that only handles one file.

I'd test it myself, but I can't figure out how to get my system to use visidata.desktop. I've run into a bit too much trouble trying to get xdg-mime default to work.

Can confirm this work (just having Exec=vd %F).

Thank you, I will submit the change.

I just looked into the history of the .desktop file, that the current configuration worked for you in #1738. Can you check whether the simpler version works for you: Exec=vd %F? I based it on vim's .desktop file.

In particular, does it work for filenames that have spaces in the middle, and for opening multiple files at the same time?
