API

defaultEditor()

Returns metadata on the default editor.

The user is expected to have the $EDITOR environment variable set, and if not, a user-friendly error is thrown.

getEditor(editor)

Returns metadata on the specified editor.

editor

Type: string

This can be pretty flexible. It matches against all the data it has.

For example, to get Sublime Text, you could write either of the following: sublime, Sublime Text, subl.

allEditors()
