redit previews a folder of recently edited text files and launches an editor on the file of your choice.
redit is useful when you keep a folder of textual notes and you want to go back to a recently edited file whose name you might not remember. In this case you would type redit and be greeted with this interactive prompt:
Answering with j, enter will then directly load README.md into your editor.
You can set a default directory to look for files (say, ~/notes) in ~/.config/redit/default-location like this:
mkdir -p ~/.config/redit && echo '~/notes' > ~/.config/redit/default-locationAlternatively you can provide a location with redit ~/Downloads and finally redit falls back to the current directory.
pip install reditredit will try to launch the editor in $EDITOR or use the one configured in ~/.config/redit/editor.
