I don't use the mouse to launch GUI applications from the terminal. If I 
want to open a Trelby document (as an example) I do the following.

Shift-Control-M to open a terminal

.. trel _name_

And I'm editing my file.

If I don't know the name of the document I want to edit, I run... 

lst trel

....and all my Trelby documents are listed. 

If I want to start a new document...

.. trel _newname_

And I'm editing the document.

trel shell script

#!/bin/bash
clear
trelby ~/Documents/scripts/$1.trelby 2>/dev/null &
exit

The lst script is relatively long because I use it for several different 
file extensions (some with more than one option and some in specific 
directories).
