When a command fails to launch, display its name about broot HOT 3 CLOSED

@ovizii I'm not sure I understand everything. Could you come to the chat, maybe ? https://miaou.dystroy.org/3490

Is this really closed? Sorry to post into such an old thread but its the same question (apparently).

I am using broot 1.1.11 and when navigating to a file i.e. /root/.config/broot/conf.hjson and hitting enter I get:

Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }

if I manually edit it: /root/.config/broot/conf.hjson and replace $EDITOR with "nano" it still does not work except if I press F2 for editing.

{
                        invocation: edit
                        key: F2
                        shortcut: e
                        #execution: "$EDITOR +{line} {file}"
                        execution: "nano +{line} {file}"
                        leave_broot: false
                }

Am I doing something wrong?

###edit###
I might be slightly stupid here, I read again and it seems "enter" starts xdg-open - but that seems to be a desktop command, I am running just on cli. My mistake, I guess I need to stop using "enter" and start using F2?

from broot.

When you hit enter on a file, unless the configuration is changed, xdg-open is called.

You may:

1. configure xdg-open
2. call an editor of your choice on open
3. call a system opener of your choice on open

I don't really recommend 2 in the general case as it means you won't have something useful on some files.
1 and 3 are done like this: https://dystroy.org/broot/tricks/#change-standard-file-opening
