Compilation date/time: Sep 2 2014 18:26:46 System: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (x86_64) Compiler: g++ 4.9.1 ncurses: ncurses 5.9.20140913 (compiled with 5.9) libcurl: libcurl/7.38.0 GnuTLS/3.3.8 zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.29 libssh2/1.4.3 librtmp/2.3 (compiled with 7.37.1) SQLite: 3.8.7.1 (compiled with 3.8.6) libxml2: compiled with 2.9.1

I've a feed selected, but I want to remove it from my URL's file. I press 'E', and it takes me to the URL's file in $EDITOR, but the cursor is at the first line. The "name" of the feed in newsbeuter is automatically drawn from the URL, so I can't match this automatic name with the URL (which has none of the words from the title in it).

I see 3 possible fixes:

  1. Put cursor at the line of the selected feed in $EDITOR
  2. Have an option in newsbeuter to remove feeds directly
  3. Have a way of seeing the raw URL within newsbeuter

Option number three is already present in Newsbeuter: when you open articles list, current feed's url is shown in the title of the dialog.

But I like option number one, so the issue is not closed—I'll have to implement it!

Ahh yes. I see #1 now, but many of my URL's are quite long and from feedburner.com, so I see the same in the title bar for all of them without getting the unique parts:

e.g. 'www.feedburner.com/action/' is all I see for multiple feeds.
