- resolveEditor() now returns argv (string[]) so EDITOR='code --wait'
and VISUAL='emacsclient -t' tokenize correctly into spawnSync's
separate command + args. Previously the whole string was passed as
argv[0] and would ENOENT.
- Skip the POSIX X_OK PATH walk on Windows; return ['notepad.exe']
there since fs.constants.X_OK is not meaningful and PATHEXT-based
resolution would need its own implementation.
- Surface openEditor() rejections via actions.sys instead of letting
them become unhandled promise rejections in the useInput callback.
- Hotkey docs/comment now say Cmd/Ctrl+G to match isAction()'s
platform-action-modifier behavior (Cmd on macOS, Ctrl elsewhere).
- editor.ts: collapse two private helpers into one flatMap-driven lookup,
keep `isExecutable` as the only named primitive, document the fallback
chain with prompt_toolkit parity
- editor.test.ts: hoist the `exe` helper out of `describe`, drop the
empty afterEach + dead mkdir branch, materialize expected paths before
the resolveEditor call so argument evaluation order doesn't bite
- useComposerState.openEditor: rmSync the mkdtemp dir (was leaking),
early-return on bad exit / empty buffer, run cleanup in finally
- useInputHandlers: cheap `ch.toLowerCase() === 'g'` guard before the
modifier check
- hermes-ink/screen.ts: pick up `npm run fix` import-sort cleanup so
lint passes
Base CLI's editor UX was better because prompt_toolkit picks the system
editor first, then friendly terminal editors before vi. Do not override
that with a vim-first chain.
Keep the CLI on prompt_toolkit's picker and only set tempfile_suffix='.md'
to avoid the complex-tempfile EEXIST path. Update the TUI resolver to
match prompt_toolkit's fallback order: $VISUAL, $EDITOR, editor, nano,
pico, vi, emacs.
Setting buffer.tempfile = 'prompt.md' pushed prompt_toolkit into its
complex-tempfile path, which creates a temp dir and then calls
os.makedirs() on that same path when no subdirectory is present. That
raises EEXIST before the editor can launch.
Keep prompt_toolkit on the simple tempfile path with .md suffix, and
make the editor fallback chain explicit on both surfaces:
$VISUAL -> $EDITOR -> nvim -> vim -> vi -> nano.
prompt_toolkit's default editor list is: $VISUAL, $EDITOR, /usr/bin/editor,
/usr/bin/nano, /usr/bin/pico, /usr/bin/vi, /usr/bin/emacs — so when
neither env var is set, the base CLI launched nano. The TUI fell back
to a literal 'vi'. Same Ctrl+G keystroke, two different editors.
Pick the same chain on both surfaces:
$VISUAL → $EDITOR → vim → vi → nano
CLI: override input_area.buffer._open_file_in_editor on the TextArea
once at app build time. Local to that buffer; doesn't touch
os.environ or affect other subprocesses.
TUI: extract resolveEditor() into ui-tui/src/lib/editor.ts. PATH walk
with accessSync(X_OK), no shelling out. Six-line unit test verifies
the priority order and the multi-entry PATH walk.
