💅 NAME 💅

Reply::Plugin::Editor — the little command that lets you go edit your current line in a whole actual text editor, bestie ✨

(that's the Reply::...::Editor(3pm) situation, for the record 🎀)

🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 0.42 — yes queen, that's the one 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so first you gotta tell it what's up in your .replyrc, like:

; .replyrc
[Editor]
editor = emacs

and that's literally it. iconic behaviour. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this plugin is the one that hands you the #e command 💖

what it does: it launches your editor, lets you vibe-edit little bits of code in there, and then the whole thing gets evaluated all at once when you're done. no cap. 🔥

and the best part?? the text you entered gets saved, and it gets restored the next time you run the command. your lil code snippet is waiting for you like a loyal bestie 🥹✨

OR — and this is the plot twist — you can pass a filename to the #e command instead, and then the contents of that file get preloaded in there for you. choices!! options!! main character energy fr fr 👑

also there's the editor option, which you can set if you wanna specify a different editor to use. if you don't set it, it'll just fall back to whatever $ENV{VISUAL} or $ENV{EDITOR} is giving 💅

lowkey important: it's $ENV{VISUAL} first, then $ENV{EDITOR}. the vibe check happens in that order, iykyk.
