Utilities to find and spawn a sensible editor.
EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables are used first to find the user's preferred editor. If these are not set, a list of commonly installed editors is used.
Find a sensible editor
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/ernestrc/sensible/editor"
)
func main() {
e, err := editor.FindEditor()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(e.GetPath())
}Edit a file
package main
import (
"io/ioutil"
"github.com/ernestrc/sensible/editor"
)
func main() {
f1, _ := ioutil.TempFile("/tmp", "")
if err := editor.Edit(f1); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
