Hi, The command “guix edit” returns “+N path/to/file” that is then passed to $EDITOR. Therefore $EDITOR needs the command line:
$ $EDITOR +N /path/to/file Well, that is accepted by many $EDITOR, to my knowledge. At least, Emacs, Vi or less are fine with it. However, some other $EDITOR does not. I have in mind “kate” or “VSCode“, $ kate -l N path/to/file $ code --goto path/to/file:N This had been raised in #44272 [1]. The current fix is to wrap $EDITOR and then make the current correct call. The question is: do we tweak “guix edit” for behaving differently depending on $EDITOR? or do we provide some wrappers for the issues that already popped up? WDYT?
