From 3bec8ff99a7792cae67aaeb5892d832478d7f548 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felipe Contreras Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2009 23:53:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] config: Add new option to open an editor. The idea was originated by discussion about usability of manually editing the config file in 'special needs' systems such as Windows. Now the user can forget a bit about where the config files actually are.
