reveal file in default file manager with command line
I would like to open folder in default file manager an focus on specific file.
I can do it with Notilus or Nemo (for example)
notilus ~/folder/file.txt
nemo ~/folder/file.txt
but I want to use default file manager.
I can use xdg-open but
xdg-open ./folder
will open folder with defaut file explorer bu doesn't focus on file, and
xdg-open ./folder/file.txt
will open file with defaut .txt editor
how can I do it ?
command-line filemanager xdg-open

This works for me having nemo as default:
gtk-launch "$(xdg-mime query default inode/directory)" ./folder/file.txt
You can create an alias for it if you like.
See:
- Find the default application for a certain extension
- Running a .desktop file in the terminal
