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"
block = false
suspend = true

• run: the command to open files. $EDITOR will use your system’s default editor.
• block: whether to block rovr until the editor is closed (recommended for GUI editors, like code --wait)
• suspend: whether to suspend rovr. ignores blocking (because it is already blocking execution). recommended for TUI editors, like nvim.

configure file editor

options:

[settings.editor.folder]
run = "$EDITOR"
block = false
suspend = true

• run: the command to open files. $EDITOR will use your system’s default editor.
• block: whether to block rovr until the editor is closed (recommended for GUI editors, like code --wait)
• suspend: whether to suspend rovr. ignores blocking (because it is already blocking execution). recommended for TUI editors, like nvim.

configure bulk renaming editor

options:

[settings.editor.bulk_rename]
run = "$EDITOR"
suspend = true

• run: the command to open files. $EDITOR will use your system’s default editor.
• suspend: whether to suspend rovr. ignores blocking (because it is already blocking execution). recommended for TUI editors, like nvim.

blocking is automatically enabled when bulk renaming files, as rovr needs to wait for the renaming to be completed before proceeding.

additional notes

there is an additional option

[settings.editor]
open_all_in_editor = false

• open_all_in_editor: if enabled, rather than using your system’s default opener, it opens them in the relevant editor configured
