Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

Open A Text Editor From A Rust App

I use the `edit`` crate to open text editors from inside Rust apps.

Notes

  • This uses the $VISUAL and $EDITOR env vars to figure out what editor to use

  • If neither $VISUAL or $EDITOR are set it falls back to other available editors

  • write up a code example
