Special support for editor apps
Apps which can edit text files, or open directories as an IDE, should be known to the Bench system. The Bench system can then provide a user interface for opening the default editor with an empty file, a specific file or a whole directory/project.
The following cases should be distinguished, because the user might prefer different apps for them:
- Opening a directory in an editor / IDE
- Opening one or multiple text files in an editor
The following use cases are considered:
- [ ] Bench CLI command to open a directory in the default editor
- [ ] Bench CLI command to open one ore multiple text files in the default editor
- [ ]
open-dir.cmd
script on thePATH
to open a directory in the default editor - [ ]
open-text.cmd
script on thePATH
to open one ore multiple text files in the default editor - [ ] Optionally register a context menu entry Bench Editor for the Windows Explorer in HKCU - for directories and files, respectively
- [ ] Button in the Bench Dashboard to open the default directory editor (with drag-and-drop support)
- [ ] Button in the Bench Dashboard to open the default text editor (with drag-and-drop support)
For project support the following use cases are considered:
- Opening a project directory in the default editor
- Opening a file from the project tree in the default editor
- Default editor for the whole Bench environment
- Default editor for an individual project
