open default program from command line
 
Is there an option to open a default program for a specific file, as if you double clicked it in gnome? It'd speed things up a lot for me.

looks like there is. gnome-open. and if you wanted to be slick about it, "go" makes a very clever and cunning alias for shorthand.

alias go=$(which gnome-open)
go file.doc

Double thanks! One for the command and two for showing me the aliases.

well it's hard to resist a command legitmately called "go" no?
