Description

Alternative command selections can be managed with a Rust replacement for update-alternatives, including a desktop entry that uses Zenity. It is for administrators choosing default providers for interchangeable commands or files.

Change alternatives carefully because they affect every program that calls the selected command. Wrong choices can break editors, shells, Java tools, compilers, scripts, and desktop helpers system-wide.

How to run
