v-editor

A simple wrapper for your editor written in bash. I just found writing nvim took to long if i wanted to just edit a file. Of course u could also just use a bash/zsh macro.

Installation

To make v availabe as a system wide command:

• put v-editor.sh into /usr/bin/v (this file should be named v) or anywhere else on your path.
• and make it executable: sudo chmod +x v

to keep your EDITOR environment variable with sudo:

• execute sudo visudo and add Defaults env_keep += EDITOR

If there is a package for your OS you should probably use that:

Or just use a macro? (put this in your shell config: alias v=$EDITOR)

Usage

This script starts the program stored in the EDITOR environment variable with all given arguments (by calling $EDITOR $@). If EDITOR is empty, will try to start vi instead.

To open test.txt execute:
v test.txt

There is a man page: v.1
