better handle error state during command edit #103

Closed daretodave closed 6 months ago

daretodave commented 6 months ago

steps to repo:

open editor for command file
```
:cmd
```
-add an error to the typescript (e.g invalid character, or misspell void/async)
save

mterm will indicate "commands saved" but it could not reload due to the error. you can see this is you look at the yarn dev output

todo:

wrap :cmd logic with a try/catch and display error in a way that the user can see it
see if :settings edit has the same issue maybe?
- run :settings edit
- see if adding a bogus json character etc will say "settings saved"
