Bug ID: 6079
Summary: histedit uses curses by default (against doc)
Product: Mercurial
Version: 4.9
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: feature
Priority: wish
Component: histedit
Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
Reporter: from...@squelart.com
CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org
After encountering the issue reported in bug 6078, I installed windows-curses,
and then saw that indeed histedit now wants to use curses.
I personally preferred the old way, using the editor I'd chosen in $EDITOR. But
I guess it's a good way to make people notice! :-)
Now, reading the release notes:
"'hg histedit' will now present a curses UI if curses is available and
'ui.interface' or 'ui.interface.histedit' is set to 'curses'."
I had not set any of these, but was still presented with curses.
Setting 'ui.interface.histedit' to "text" (which `hg help config` says should
be the default) reverted to using my preferred $EDITOR, but that was not
obvious to find out!
So I think the default should stay "text" as before.
Otherwise the documentation should be updated to reflect the new default, and
more helpfully describe how to change it back.
