I want this. It would sort of solve #135 as well.
For reference I tried less
's behavior (less 581.2
, comes with macOS) and:
$EDITOR
set:
less
does /usr/local/bin/fish -c code -w +34 services
and waits for that command to finish. Parts are:/usr/local/bin/fish
is my shell-c
tells the shell to execute a command linecode -w
is my $EDITOR
variable+34
is unknown and messes up the editor. It's not the current line number at least since I'm on the first line in less
.services
is the file I opened.stdin
, less
just says "Cannot edit standard input"$VISUAL
set (and not $EDITOR
) less
does the same thing, but uses the value of $VISUAL
instead.v
, but error messages are shown after exiting less
.Except for the number I think this makes for a reasonable starting point.
less
primarily picks $VISUAL
, then falls back to $EDITOR
, then to vi
(from defines.ds
):

@mundry please try this out in moar
1.24.0!
FYI, with v1.24.4 this now works when piping input to moar
as well.
I know I have wanted that, maybe you do as well :).
Hi there,
first of all: Great job! I've really been enjoying
moar
so far.Something that's ingrained in my muscle memory from
less
is pressingv
to open the current file in$EDITOR
.It would be great to have that same functionality in
moar
, too.What do you think?
