App::C...d::edit(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

App::Cme::Command::edit β€” ok bestie, this is the one that lets you edit the configuration of an application. that's the whole vibe πŸ’…


🌸 VERSION 🌸

this is version 1.049, no cap ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

like, just look at these, they're giving main character energy:

# edit dpkg config with GUI (requires Config::Model::Dpkg)
cme edit dpkg

# force usage of simple shell like interface
cme edit dpkg-copyright --ui shell

# edit /etc/sshd_config (requires Config::Model::OpenSsh)
sudo cme edit sshd

# edit ~/.ssh/config (requires Config::Model::OpenSsh)
cme edit ssh

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so basically you're editing a configuration. and by default, a Tk GUI pops open if Config::Model::TkUI is installed. iconic behaviour honestly 😌

but you're not locked in β€” you can pick a different user interface with the -ui option, and here are your options bestie:

  • tk β€” gives you a Tk graphical interface (only if Config::Model::TkUI is installed, so like, check first).
  • curses β€” gives you a curses user interface (works if Config::Model::CursesUI is installed).
  • shell β€” gives you a shell like interface. peep Config::Model::TermUI for the deets. this is literally equivalent to running the cme shell command, fr fr.

🌈 Common options

go look at "Global Options" in cme. that's where the shared ones live πŸ’–


πŸ’… options πŸ’…

  • -open-item β€” opens a specific item of the configuration the moment the editor opens. lowkey important: trying to open a non-existing item triggers an error, so don't do that πŸ™ˆ

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

cme β€” yeah that's it, that's the friend 🫢
