Can I set a webapp to open in a specific browser?

Hello everyone,

I have been using Omarchy with hyprland for about a month now. I am coming from close to a decade on Fedora. Tried a tiling window manager that has already been configured for the most part and I really like it.

Not sure if it is possible, but I want to set a keybinding to open a web app with a specific browser.

I typically use Firefox, but I want to create a keybinding in Omarchy to launch VIA using Chrome or Brave browser to make keyboard configurations.

I don’t think FF supports PWA without an extension. At any rate, that’s probably something to be asked in Omarchy’s community, as the webapp thing is their own homemade thing AFAIK

Thanks.

I asked in their Discord, but have not received a response yet.

Just trying to branch out the search to see if someone has done something similar.

Never hurts to try.

So webapps are simply .desktop files. So you control what is launched with Exec on said files.

So you could have multiple such .desktop files and set one keybind to each desired browser. It could also be scripted and so on.

The Exec line on those is typically something like chrome --app SOMETHING. Firefox does not have such --app flag.

Yea, I’m sure I can play around with it a bit and figure something out.
