Hi,
The command “guix edit” returns “+N path/to/file” that is then passed to
$EDITOR. Therefore $EDITOR needs the command line:
$ $EDITOR +N /path/to/file
Well, that is accepted by many $EDITOR, to my knowledge. At least,
Emacs, Vi or less are fine with it.
However, some other $EDITOR does not. I have in mind “kate” or
“VSCode“,
$ kate -l N path/to/file
$ code --goto path/to/file:N
This had been raised in #44272 [1]. The current fix is to wrap $EDITOR
and then make the current correct call.
The question is:
do we tweak “guix edit” for behaving differently depending on $EDITOR?
or
do we provide some wrappers for the issues that already popped up?
WDYT?
Cheers,
simon
