While trying to test the use of an external editor, I tried commands
such as :edit-url. I got errors such as
Error while spawning editor: The process failed to start.
I tried using different editors (visual or text based) running qutebrowser as
EDITOR=/usr/bin/emacs qutebrowser
or
VISUAL=/usr/bin/emacs qutebrowser
using other editors beyond emacs and the result was the same error. I
did check using a command such as
:debug-pyeval os.environ["VISUAL"]
that the VISUAL, EDITOR and PATH environment variables were correctly
set and visible from qutebrowser. My editors run correctly from the
terminal. I can also run
:spawn emacs
and the editor is correctly started.
Any idea what can be wrong?
I'm running under debian/testing using xfce.
Best regards,
Luis
