.editor
The .editor
command (usually abbreviated as .edit
)
invokes an external text editor on a temporary file. You can then
put contents on that file, save it and exit the editor. At that point
poke will read the file contents, turn them into a single line and
execute them in the repl.
If poke is not running interactively, then .editor
does nothing.
The editor used is identified by the EDITOR
environment
variable.
