Open neatvi taking stdin as entry
lobre opened this issue · comments
I don't know if this is something doable in vi/nvi but in vim/nvim or kakoune, you can redirect the output of a command in the shell to the editor.
git ls-files | vim -
git ls-files | kak
Would it be something that would make sense to have in neatvi? It can serve to have initial data for a new file or to serve as a pager to quickly review the output of a command.
In case you haven't seen it already, Nextvi implements this feature as a patch.
It might not be trivial to adapt to Neatvi codebase, but at least you could use this as a starting point:
stdin_pipe.patch
That is a nice feature that enables interesting workflow in a UNIX philosophy. Thank you for posting that.
Is such a patch too complicated to be adapted to neatvi's codebase @aligrudi?
