Just to pay back a little bit of what you gave me, here is my current setup which works for MC with SciTE as an external editor (EDITOR environment variable) and for Subversion (SVN_EDITOR environment variable, because here we exceptionally need *no* single instance behaviour): ~/.bashrc ========= ... export EDITOR='/usr/bin/sc' export SVN_EDITOR='/usr/bin/scite -check.if.already.open=0' ... /usr/bin/sc =========== #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/scite "$@" wmctrl -a scite /usr/bin/sc is a self-created script which is needed by MC, because a simple alias will do from the shell, but obviously not from MC via F4. This is a bit off-topic, but probably describes a not so uncommon setup of using SciTE as a default editor for different cases.
