In general, type these commands with `bash-completion`, and you'll see the right option.

## Ask
|
|
|
|
Ask what type of application opens an mkv file:
|
|
|
|
> xdg-mime query default video/mkv
|
|
|
|
Same with pdf:
|
|
|
|
> xdg-mime query default application/pdf
|
|
|
|
## Set
|
|
|
|
Set the mime type of mp4 videos to mpv.
|
|
|
|
> xdg-mime default mpv.desktop video/mp4
|
|
|
|
### Alternative: File
|
|
|
|
Look in `~/.config/mimeappps.list` to check and set.
