title: New features in weltschmerz 1.5.0
date: 2021-11-27
author: Wolfgang Müller
Today, a bit more than 4 months since the last update for
[weltschmerz](weltschmerz), I'm happy to announce 1.5.0, bringing new and
exciting features to the terminal emulator. Just like with
[1.4.0](weltschmerz-1.4.0) most of them were designed and implemented by
[nortti](https://ahti.space/%7Enortti/). Thanks a lot!
Head over to the [project page](weltschmerz) to download the new version right
away, or read on to take a look at noteworthy changes.
## Open with ...

The main new feature in weltschmerz 1.5.0, added in
[a9706ec](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/commit/?id=a9706ec27edc0aef03f72daba28647aca1c42070),
is the ability to add custom 'Open with ...' handlers for the URI context menu.
These are added to the new `open-with` section in the configuration file. For
example, the handlers in the picture above are defined like so:
```
[open-with]
mpv = mpv --force-window=immediate --really-quiet %
ff-priv = firefox-bin --private-window %
```
Any occurrence of the `%` character will be replaced by the URI before
weltschmerz launches the given program.
## Changes to OSC 7 handling
To increase compatibility with systems and setups that do not understand or emit
OSC 7 escapes, weltschmerz now falls back to obtaining its current directory
from the `procfs` subsystem. Additionally, a new option 'prefer-osc7' has been
introduced that controls whether OSC 7 should be preferred at all. See
[71388f9](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/commit/?id=71388f94c694a36b0ac360b34f09d7c16a51f803)
and
[6f03994](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/commit/?id=6f0399481b215817960b5cf36ee03a658a2d9b89).
## Small bugfixes and more internationalization
When matching URLs, weltschmerz now ignores punctuation at the end. This should
make it easier to open up URLs in terminal-bound chat applications. Finally,
version 1.5.0 contains a full Finnish translation of the manual.
That's it for this update. See
[`NEWS`](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/tree/NEWS) for the full set of
changes, and
[`1.4.1..1.5.0`](https://git.oriole.systems/weltschmerz/log/?qt=range&q=1.4.1..1.5.0)
for all relevant commits.
