Open in external editor about pter HOT 2 CLOSED

Currently not, but sounds like an easy task. I’ll get on it.

from pter.

It’s implemented as of version 2.0.0 (commit 395e06e).

By default pter will try to use VISUAL or EDITOR (in this order), but the configuration option editor (in [Global] overwrites these). If all fails, pter will just hope for the best and see if nano exists (at this point we’re looking at a user who never configured their environment variables, so launching the external editor was probably a mistake to begin with).

After editing pter will still apply the usual sugar coating (expand relative dates, auto-generate IDs, if requested).

It’s currently not possible to create a new task through an external editor, because that opens a whole new can of worms… if you want that, too, please create a new issue so we can discuss the odds and ends.
