    thusly opening my meeting in zoom. I'm guessing that all Next Meeting does is run the command line utility `open` with the contents of the LOCATION field from the ICS file corresponding to the entry. Actually I looked at the version history and since it used to always open them in Chrome that's probably not the case. Also I tried to write an app that would call command line utilities and it was a bear to get the permissions. Possibly impossible.

    The only public code[1] I could find for this project by this author is 13 years old and lacks any code to open the meeting links or handle hotkeys of any kind. The github user has a different name than the project author (who has his own empty github profile elsewhere) so
