`map o &mimeopen "$f"` in `lfrc`

I'm curious what map o &mimeopen "$f" in lfrc does? I understand it as executing mimeiopen in the background but that doesn't seem to have an effect in lf.

AFAIK it opens a file using the program specified by your mime configuration, you can find this configuration file in ~/.local/share/ or ~/.config/...~, it should be called something like "mimeapps.list"

Thanks so much! I guess I was confused because I tried to use it on files which I did not set up mime program for, in which case it opens a program selection menu in the background.
