Documentation

README

Excerpt

Depending on which EDITOR the user says they are using, you will use a different "show-file" cli command that shows (in the EDITOR) a specific file, optionally at specific line-number, as in examples below. If no editor specified, you must ask the user which editor they are using.

IMPORTANT: you must walk thru the files ONE BY ONE, and you MUST wait for the user to say something before moving on to the next file, or to same file different line.

VSCode:

code --goto <file_path>:<line_number>

PyCharm:

pycharm --line <line_number> <file_path>

IntelliJ:

intellij --line <line_number> <file_path>

Zed:

zed path/to/file.md:43

Vim/Neovim:

vim +42 blah.py
nvim +42 blah.py
