editor

rovr has options to change the default editor when opening a file, folder or when bulk renaming files.

configure file editor

options:

[settings.editor.file]
run = "$EDITOR"
orphan = true

• run: the command to open files. $EDITOR will use your system’s default editor.
• orphan: whether to detach the editor process from rovr. recommended for GUI editors, like code.

configure folder editor

options:

[settings.editor.folder]
run = "$EDITOR"
orphan = true

• run: the command to open files. $EDITOR will use your system’s default editor.
• orphan: whether to detach the editor process from rovr. recommended for GUI editors, like code.

configure bulk editor

used for things like bulk renaming and creating files

options:

[settings.editor.bulk_editor]
run = "$EDITOR"
rename_show_as_mapping = true

• run: the command to open files. $EDITOR will use your system’s default editor.
• rename_show_as_mapping: whether to show the bulk rename file as a mapping of old name to new name. if false, the bulk rename file will only show the new names. this is not used for bulk file creation.

orphan is automatically disabled for bulk editor, since it needs to wait for the editor process to finish before it can read the changes.
