• To override some configuration options, you can use the flag --set, for instance, if you want to override the editor used and the opentool to open documents, you can just type

  papis --set editor gedit --set opentool firefox edit
  papis --set editor gedit --set opentool firefox open
  

• If you want to list the libraries and pick one before sending a database query to papis, use --pick-lib as such
