What feature would you like to see? (give details)

I use to invoke ranger setting the var EDITOR or ox in order to use ox opening a text file.

$ EDITOR=ox ranger

The problem is when I open a text file in this manner ox will open two files: one called -- and the other that is my file and that is because ranger will invoke the program in EDITOR in such schema: command -- file-to-open. I checked it setting EDITOR to echo and I am not sure about the reasoning behind this. I think it could be related to this question or this article

That's weird: every text editor that I put in EDITOR works pretty well (vim: default, nano, micro)

Is there something we can do?

Are there any alternatives you have considered?

no

This shouldn't be too difficult to fix. I could just have Ox ignore -- as an argument, I doubt people would be creating and opening files called -- anyway 👍
