PATH

Thanks for writing this great software. I found that the brew installation doesn't set the path to the oatmeal executable. Usually brew will tell the user what path to set. I copied oatmeal into usr/local/bin, but that might not be ideal. Cheers!

Thanks bud, I appreciate it!

It's been a long time since I've had brew recommend me to modify my path to install a new app. I have some memory of it only asking to do when it was a large application with a handful of binaries.

In recent versions of Homebrew, you set eval "$(homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)" in your shell configuration, or put /opt/homebrew/bin in your path where brew symlinks all binaries installed. I've tested my formula a few times every couple versions and haven't had a problem with it populating in PATH.

I believe these changes were part of the big rework they had done in the last year. Maybe your version of brew is older?

Thanks. I've been having trouble with scrolling; so I pointed the path to /opt/homebrew/Cellar/oatmeal/0.12.1/bin/oatmeal. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the scrolling in long oatmeal responses within neovim. I probably have something screwed-up on my system because I make many changes everyday.

Odd you had to do that with your PATH, as you said it may just be something custom you've setup. :)

For scrolling you have to make sure you're in insert mode within the terminal window that holds Oatmeal, then it will pickup the hot keys and do what you'd expect.

Looks like you're all worked out. Gonna close this. Thanks!
