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

This works for me:
export EDITOR='/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim'

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,
