Open pdf files in pdf viewer after search

[initzx]

• I have fzf 0.30.0 or above
• I have read through https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim/blob/master/README.md
• I have read through https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/README-VIM.md
• I have read through the manual page of fzf (man fzf)
• I have searched through the existing issues

After search for a pdf, I would like to open the pdf in a viewer rather than to have a binary buffer opened in vim. For example it would be nice to somehow have fzf.vim recognize the filetype, and use xdg-open to open the file accordingly. Right now if I find a pdf file, then the pdf is opened in nvim as binary text.

No problem!, by example I open pdf files in browser from Vim(9) with this autocmd:

autocmd BufEnter *.pdf GoUrl(expand('<afile>')) | bwipeout

def GoUrl(uri: string): void
    silent execute "!/usr/bin/firefox '" .. shellescape(uri, 1) .. "'"

    silent redraw!
enddef

You can use zathura or whatever what do you want
