I tried using the .edit command and it did not load the editor with the previous query. Also, it appears that the query is not executed when the query is complete. I.e., i have to hit enter after the query gets transferred to the cli (after :wq). This is different from \e behavior of psql. This is the paragraph on psql's documentation describing behavior of \e

If you edit a file or the previous query, and you quit the editor without modifying the file, the query buffer is cleared. Otherwise, the new contents of the query buffer are re-parsed according to the normal rules of psql, treating the whole buffer as a single line. Any complete queries are immediately executed; that is, if the query buffer contains or ends with a semicolon, everything up to that point is executed and removed from the query buffer. Whatever remains in the query buffer is redisplayed. Type semicolon or \g to send it, or \r to cancel it by clearing the query buffer.

Anyways, many thanks for the prompt work on this feature. I'm excited to start using it as soon as it arrives in the cli!

Thanks for trying it out - I've addressed your comments and I think it should behave similarly now, could you take another look?

I tried it and it works swimmingly! Thanks for the quick turnaround!
