Re: How to set EDITOR

[Bailey Stoner]

Hi Jason,
I don't know if it helps, but exporting EDITOR only works in the shell that you 
run it from. I'm guessing you ran it in a different shell. If not, then I think 
we will need more deets on exactly what you're doing :)
You could also try ` EDITOR=mvim direnv edit .`, but I'm guessing having it 
inline isn't ideal for your use-case. Hope that helps :)
Best,  Bailey

This works for me:

export EDITOR='/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim'

How to set EDITOR

[jasonpickensnz]

How do I set the EDITOR variable so that MacVim will launch within my terminal 
and not a separate GUI?

I tried:
> export EDITOR='mvim -v'
But that doesn't work.

Running it directly does work:
> mvim -v

Normal vim does what I expect:
> export EDITOR='vim'

In case it makes any difference, EDITOR is being used when I execute:
> direnv edit .


Cheers
