How to access environment variables in config file? #625

Open pglira opened 4 years ago

pglira commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to access environment variables (like $TERMINAL, $EDITOR) in the vimb config file?

E.g. for:

set editor-command=$TERMINAL -e $EDITOR %s

fanglingsu commented 4 years ago

This is not possible.

I think it would be quiet useful. Other examples:

set download path: set download-path=$DOWNLOAD_DIR
set coloring: set status-css=color:$COLOR_FG;background-color:$COLOR_BG;font:11pt JetBrains Mono;

BTW, thank you for this amazing project.
