Writing descriptions with the favorite editor

Open Phantas0s opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I don't really know if it's possible (I don't know about Haskell, even if it's on my learning list for... ages?) but it would be great I think.

Instead of using a custom editor when editing the descriptions is taskell, why not firing $EDITOR as a subprocess (in a pop up window I guess) to edit it and send back to the parent process (taskell) the text. Taskell would then format the text properly and write it into the markdown file.

I don't know if you use Zsh, but you can edit your command lines in Vim if you want. That's how I had the idea.

Sorry for slow response, haven't had much time to work on side-projects since the pandemic started.

This is an interesting idea. Feel like it might be quite jarring, but if it was optional then it would be a choice folks could make.
