4 years ago Hmm, this is likely the same backgrounding issue mentioned in https://github.com/jlebon/textern#gui-editors (i.e. the process that Textern starts just exits quickly after spawning the actual editor). Can you check if there's a switch to modify this behaviour like gvim -f?
I have both Gedit and Sulbime Text installed in my Voidlinux. When textern is configured for Gedit, it works flawlessly. However, if a set subl3 as editor, and launch it from a webpage through textern, Sublime Text opens with no text in it, and the temporary folder and file is lost and cannot be saved back to the web page I want to edit.
