README
@monopi/extension-external-editor
The external-editor extension adds an /external-editor command and a ctrl+shift+e shortcut for opening the current draft in your configured external editor ($VISUAL or $EDITOR). When you save the file, the updated text is synced back into pi's prompt input. It complements pi's built-in app.editor.external keybinding, which defaults to Ctrl+G.
Install
pi install npm:@monopi/extension-external-editor
Commands
/external-editor: open the current draft in$VISUALor$EDITOR./external-editor status: show which editor is configured and how to use the command.
Notes
The extension complements pi's built-in app.editor.external keybinding (Ctrl+G by default). If you prefer a different primary key, remap that binding in keybindings.json.
