WIP: Allow editing current file in visual editor #33
Conversation
By default this is bound to key 'v' as in less. It opens the current file in one of the following editors (tried in the given order): - $OVEDIT - Editor from config file - $LESSEDIT - $VISUAL - sensible-editor - EDITOR - vi

| root.Doc.ReadFile(root.Doc.FileName) | ||
| root.viewSync() | ||
| root.Screen.Sync() |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
There are currently two issues here:
- Rereading the modified file doesn't work.
- "Some" keypresses in the opened editor are hijacked by ov (and therefore swallowed) and the last keypress in the opened editor will always be interpreted by ov (e.g. quitting vi via
:wqwill quit ov, since it interprets theq). We would actually need to suspend interpreting keypresses before opening the editor and resume it again afterwards. But I don't know how to do this with tcell/cbind.
Help with both problem is very appreciated.

I'm sorry. |

Since tcell suspend works, I may implement it myself in the future. |

hi, @noborus, have you had enough time and interests to work on this feature? The implementation of it could look like this from I myself am not experienced with |
