Only gedit works as text editor
Lowrida opened this issue · comments
But i don't use gedit and have not installed it. I use xed and bluefish but conky does not open the scripts with them...
Fixed it. I made a script called gedit that starts bluefish!
But maybe it should be an option in settings to choose which editor you want?
Nice! Now why did I not think of that years ago. Lol
You are correct, there should be an option to select your editor.
I use xed too as my editor.

So how did you do that in your script @Lowrida?
I used /usr/bin/xed $1 and the file is not passed from Conky-manager to
xed... :-(
But xed does open...

I see the button triggers this code: https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2/blob/add-1.10-support/src/MainWindow.vala#L781
private void btn_edit_clicked(){
ConkyConfigItem item = selected_item();
if (item != null) { exo_open_textfile(item.path); };
}
(see exo_open_textfile)
And that is the following function: https://github.com/zcot/conky-manager2/blob/add-1.10-support/src/Utility.vala#L1219
public bool exo_open_textfile (string txt){
/* Tries to open the given text file in a text editor */
string path;
path = get_cmd_path ("exo-open");
if ((path != null)&&(path != "")){
return execute_command_script_async ("exo-open \"" + txt + "\"");
}
path = get_cmd_path ("gedit");
if ((path != null)&&(path != "")){
return execute_command_script_async ("gedit --new-document \"" + txt + "\"");
}
return false;
}
(see the 2 lines with exo-open)
Maybe it should use xdg-open instead of exo-open(specific to Xfce).
Maybe it works if you edit those 2 references on lines 1225 and 1227 and recompile.
