✨ NAME ✨

okay so select-editor is the bestie who lets you pick your default sensible-editor from every editor installed on your machine 💅

🧚 SYNOPSIS ✨

select-editor

🌸 DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so select-editor gives you a coherent mechanism for picking and saving your fave sensible-editor on a per-user basis 🫶 It lists every editor on the system and then literally prompts you to choose one, no cap 💀

Your choice gets saved as the SELECTED_EDITOR variable in ~/.selected_editor. That file gets sourced and used by the sensible-editor(1) command 🦋

⚠️ bestie, heads up: the VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables override SELECTED_EDITOR. so if those are set, they win, periodt 🙈
