opener opens a file in a new workspace instead of the existing editor when the editor is set to VS Code

[lgarron]

My $EDITOR is set to code -w --.

When I use open(…) from opener to open a file in the current workspace, I expect it to… open in the current workspace. Basically all tools that I use handle this consistently.

Instead, opener opens in a new window.

What platform are you on? The $EDITOR variable is not used by opener. If you want your app to use the $EDITOR variable you'd currently need to handle reading the variable and launching the specified command yourself, then you could fall back to using opener::open() if it's not set.

macOS!

The $EDITOR variable is not used by opener.

Hmm, I find that surprising, but I guess on reflection it makes sense. As much is I need both editor and OS opening functionality, I can probably live with a fallback like you suggested.
