Apostrophe is a gorgeous Markdown editor (and viewer).

(Note: your new open ā€œcommandā€ will work with any type of file as long as there is a default app associated with it.)

There was some other xdg-command to change that.

But I guess, GNOME has a way to do so via control center as well.

I aliased `xgd-open` to `open`. That also works for me.

Yep. I prefer abbreviations for this sort of thing as they expand into the actual command so I donā€™t forget what the actual command is (e.g., for when Iā€™m on a new machine or someone elseā€™s, etc.)

Iā€™m really waiting for the GUIā€™s to integrate/copy the https://github.com/JeNeSuisPasDave/MarkdownTools mdmerge functionality. Indexes, the inclusion of external source files and more is hard to beat. I often work with the output of mdmerge to tweak in the gui and then run it through pandoc for layout/fonts/exporting. Having these functionalities integrated in one solid gui would be beyond nice.
