Use environment variable in editorconfig.json

[mb720]

Hi and thanks again for withExEditorHost!

Is there currently a way to have environment variables resolved in editorconfig.json?

I tried

"editorPath": "/usr/bin/${TERMINAL}",

to no avail. In my Bash, echo $TERMINAL prints "kitty".

Thanks in advance!

Like this?

• Accept environment variable during setup
  e.g. /usr/bin/${TERMINAL} as user input
• Save resolved value in editorConfig.json
  e.g. "editorPath": "/usr/bin/kitty"

Or is there a reason you want to save user input as is?

Forget about the previous comment.

There is a possibility that sensitive data is held in the environment variable, we should save it as is.

Forgot to cut the branch and committed it directly...

Anyway, the issue is fixed and you can use environment variable in editorconfig.json.

Thanks for implementing this so quickly. I'll try the feature once there's a new release.

Released v8.1.1

I just used the new feature and it worked like a charm:

"editorPath": "/usr/bin/${TERMINAL}",

Thanks again. Your response time is amazing 👍
