Feature request: external editor for input #268

Open codeandcreate opened 2 years ago

codeandcreate commented 2 years ago

At the moment if i want to post something there pops up a small window with a one line input. Instead of build in a full editor for posting bigger texts to a gemlog (...) it would be nice if i can configure an external editor like vi(m) or nano/micro to take care of the users input and post the resulting temporary text file back to gemini.

Input over Gemini is just really intended to be one line, so I'm not sure if this makes sense.

i know but places like midnight.pub or station.martinrue.com (social networking in gemini) will benefit from such a feature.

on lagrange users can have a multiline input with shift+enter for example: Bildschirmfoto vom 2021-11-04 22-20-52

Ok, maybe it makes sense. I don't think it would be very easy (or possible at all) with the current tech stack, but worth looking into.
