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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Mercurial-devel mailing list Mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org https://www.mercurial-scm.org/mailman/listinfo/mercurial-devel
