Always use your favorite text editor, anywhere.
I'm completely addicted to using Vim for editing text. Any time Vim is not around I feel so slow, so inefficient, so cumbersome. Thus I created Edd who enables me to use Vim literally anywhere.
Edd is a tiny script which allows to easily edit content of the clipboard with a single keyboard shortcut. In this way Edd allows you to always use your favorite text editor, wherever you need.
Simple and straightforward:
select, edd, ctrl-v
To set up a keyboard shortcut Alt-Shift-E run:
edd --shortcut
This has been tested with the latest gnome shell only.
Uses the following two environment variables:
- EDITOR — set to the text editor of your choice
- EDD_COMMAND — command to be executed by the keyboard shortcut
The default command is this:
gnome-terminal --geometry 100x44+400+100 --command edd
