unify-opening make packages in Emacs use the same mechanism to open files with an external application.

** Summary

Currently, dired has its mechanism, org-mode uses something different (the org-file-apps variable), and mu4e something else (a simple prompt). This package makes sure that each package uses the mechanism of dired. I advise you to install the [[https://github.com/thamer/runner][runner]] package to improve the dired mechanism.

Supported packages:

• mail clients using mm-decode (e.g., notmuch and mu4e)
• completion mechanisms (currently consult, counsel and helm)
• org mode
• dired-x
