pi-editor

A pi extension that opens files in your preferred editor from within pi.

Install

pi install npm:pi-editor

Or try it without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-editor

Usage

/edit <path>   Open a file in $VISUAL or $EDITOR

The command resolves the path relative to your current working directory and spawns the editor attached to your terminal. If the file doesn't exist, you'll be prompted to create it.

Editor Selection

The extension checks these environment variables in order:

1. $VISUAL — preferred for full-screen editors (e.g. nvim, code --wait)
2. $EDITOR — fallback (e.g. vim, nano)
3. vi — default if neither is set
