Bug Description

quickly 0.1

If the default editor is set to "vim", the command fails. I would expect to see the files opened in buffers or tabs.

jbowtie@ponga-two:~/dev/nyx$ quickly edit
jbowtie@ponga-two:~/dev/nyx$ 4 files to edit
Vim: Error reading input, exiting...
Vim: Finished.

This is working for me in the current 0.2 build. I suspect that this will start working in a couple of days when we push that release.

Indeed, I fixed it for 0.2 a couple of weeks ago. I'll add it to the changelog.

Well, it's an improvement - vim actually launches, but it doesn't seem to be editable.

The cursor is on the first line after the string "1;2005;0c"
Attempting to do anything results in vim quitting and showing the following message:

Vim: Error reading input, exiting...
Vim: Finished.

Let me know if I need to provide any more details about my setup.

Ok, I'm reputting this on the backlog for next release.
In the meanwhile, you can use gedit in unsetting EDITOR :)
