Documentation

Overview

Package editor resolves and launches the user's text editor — the shared contract behind the CLI's `task edit` and the TUI's `E` (open in $EDITOR), so the two faces pick the same editor and split its command the same way.

Functions

func Command

func Command(prog, path string) *exec.Cmd

Command builds the *exec.Cmd that opens path in prog, splitting prog on spaces so a multi-word editor ("code -w", "emacsclient -nw") keeps its flags. The caller wires up stdio — the CLI sets it on the returned cmd; the TUI hands the cmd to tea.ExecProcess, which inherits the terminal. A blank prog falls back to Resolve so a caller can't build an empty command.

func Resolve

func Resolve() string

Resolve picks the editor the way every unix tool does: $VISUAL, then $EDITOR, then vi as the last-resort default. Always returns a non-empty program.
