ST2 as Claws' external editor

#1

Hello!

Found out today about Sublime Text and soon I installed it on my Archlinux (x86_64) machine.

It looks and behaves great and we’re very close to buying it to be used for our projects.

At the moment we evaluate Geany and use Vim for light editing (after leaving Emacs due to some RSI pain felt in left hand). :astonished:

One of the things for which we use Vim is as external editor for our Claws mailer and like Vim’s capabilities to reformat (quoted) paragraphs etc., so I wonder how could ST2 replace it?

The command we use for invoking external editor in Claws is:

gvim "+set ft=mail" -f %s

where ‘%s’ is replaced with filename used by Claws for an email message text file.

Any suggestion?

Sincerely,
Gour
