Re: [qutebrowser] editor
Thank you again!
I misunderstood you. I thought you said I should configure the
'editor' command, which I did. Finally, I understood you meant I should
configure the 'editor.command' configuration variable. I set
editor.command to ["emacsclient", "+{line}:{column}", "{file}"] and it
is working very nicely. Thanks for the help and the patience.
Best regards,
Luis

Re: [qutebrowser] editor
Thanks Jay! Sorry for the confusion. I have now tried to configure 'editor' by either writing and editor script in my ~/bin directory (which is in my $PATH) or by running update-alternatives to make a system wide change. I tried nano (the default, terminal oriented) and emacs (x-windows oriented) and got the same Error while spawning editor: The process failed to start. :( Is there a way to find out why? Could this be related to my previous problem (failure to print)?
