they correspond to 4, 2, 1 respectively:
Code:

Code:

If you sum these values you obtain uniquely identified permission sets. For example, you have:

I have 'vim-gnome' installed
First select any file .

Code:

Exec=gvim -f --remote-tab-silent %F

Code:

autossh -f -p client-ssh-port -R reverse-ssh-port:localhost:22 client-ip
