Mime Type

Install the package xdg-utils.

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.
